Could someone remind me the name of the hotel, it looks like couple of big boats, around soi 6?

Also any recommendation for resort hotels in Jomtien beach?

We are going to Pattaya in the end of June, hope this is a low season(?) we can all take advantage with.

Thanks!

Looking to book bangkok to cambodia flights and hotel rooms in Bangkok and Seim Reap (hopefully) is there a travel agent anyone could recommend who could book these for me at competative rates

we will be in bankok for two days and want to go to the tiger temple can any one suggest a good tour operater to book this trip with all suggestions are welcome thanks

Visiting Bangkok for two days and as there is so much to see could anyone recommend a 'honest' tour guide who will not take us shopping (for his commission) just touring round the city -- Also is it best to tour on foot via skytrain etc rather than car?]
Thank you in advance

Hi,


I'm looking for a budget service apartment for my 5 day stay in Bangkok for my coming trip. Any recommendation? I will prefer central area, thank you.

hey, me again! :) just booked my ticket to bangkok in november. will be staying for 11 nights as i'll be studying in chivasom academy on sukhumvit 63 for a little more than a week. we're looking for a place to stay at that's near Chiva-Som Academy in Modern Town Building on Sukhumivt 63.

Originally planned to stay at Sawasdee Inn Sukhumvit on Sukhumvit 57 but we're having second thoughts since i saw on a couple of maps that this could still be too far to walk and also because of the not-so-good reviews i saw online. But seeing that we'll be staying for 11 days, we want to keep our accomodation costs under THB800-THB1000 a night.

Can anyone give me any tips on where to stay? or maybe an estimate on how long a walk it would be from Sawasdee to Soi 63 ifever we decide to book there? We're also considering just getting any cheap hotel that's near a BTS station since i think i can walk to Chivasom from the Ekkamai station.

Any help will be appreciated! Thank you, thank you! :D

Hi there! Will be in Bangkok at the end of the year to take up a short course in Chivasom and while i'm there, i plan to do a bit of shopping for spa stuff and spa equipment. Does anyone know where i can buy things like massage beds, foot massage sticks and other spa stuff? :)

Thanks so much! :)

I am planning on visiting Pattaya with children and in-laws. Is the Alcazar show
appropriate for all ages???

I'm coming over with my friends this September. I need help on cheap backpacker accommodations.

Appreciate all the help :-)

how much spending money do you think would be needed for 18nights in thailand, all out accomodation and transfers are paid for, would only need money for food, excursions, drinks and souvenir shopping etc, staying in bangkok for 5 night nights and pattaya for 10, just need a rough idea of what to tkae moneywise

Hi! I'm flying to bangkok next week and our group will be 4 adults and 2 kids ages 8 and 5 yrs old. Can you please advise if the Saim Niramit cultural show is worth going to or maybe there are nicer and less expensive places to take the kids out? Help! Thanks!

I am wanting to treat myself to the ultimate experience for one or two nights.
What and why is this hotel your delux.
Thanks from a backpacker , guesthouse type of girl.

I have an 8 hour layover between flights, would this give me enough time to get into Bangkok and have a look around, Is there anything to do and see out near the airport ? I am arriving at 0830 to make connecting Int flight at 1800.

What is the quickest way into Bangkok and return from the new airport

Thanks in Advance

Hi

Last week I have visited Bangkok. On my way back to Bangkok Airport from hotel, I have dropped my Camera in the Texi (Pink color meter texi). All the pictures I have taken in Bangkok, Pathaya, pukhet was in that camera. That's why the camera is very valuable to me.

Is there any way that I can contact with Texi authority, to check whethere they have got any camera? Actually is there any authority who controls these Texis in Bangkok? I can remember Texi number partially.

Can anyone please give me the information, how can I contact with 'Meter Texi' of BKK.

Thanks in advance for your cooperations. Please Please Please help me...

As I will be arriving in Bangkok next week I thought about seeing a doctor/practitioner.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello all virtual friends, I need help from all of you, who live in Thailand.
I need to contact Don Bosco church on Petchaburi Road, but I couldn't find it on the website. It is very urgent, because I lost my son Baptism certificate. And my son need it to show for his first communion, if any one know the phone number and the person to contact. Please help me. My son will have his first communion on 14 June, so I need to have the Baptism before that. Now we live in Bahrain and I have no contact in Bangkok. Thank to you all. Tukta

Hi,

Does anyone know anything about the View Talay Holiday Resort. We have 7 nights there which we got from an ebay sale but are having trouble trying to find a lot of information on it. I have previously requested similar information on here but (Computer stupid as I am) have been able to find the question to see if there were any responses so I aplogise if you are reading this again. Would REALLY appreciate any information though as the most I could find was a couple of negative experiences so I am hoping this is not all that is out there.
Cheers

thinking of using one of the budget airlines from bangkok to phuket and wondered which one is the best - nok air , air asia or another ?

I am traveling to Asia in June and have a two day layover in Bangkok. I am wondering if anyone can recommend a reputable place to buy a diamong engagement ring? Would I be able to purchase something significantly less than in the U.S.? I am looking for something under the $1,500 USD (48,000 Baht). Thanks in advance.
