Travel help
Posted: Wed May 27, 2009 03:27 PM UTC

Hello,

I'm planning a trip in a few weeks and I'm trying to figure out how hard it wold be to travel from Siem Reap, Cambodia to Ban Chan, Thailand. It looks like there is a highway (56 or 68) that runs up to the thai boarder at Dan or Ta Kien (which is close to where I want to go). Does anyone know if there is a boarder crossing in this area? Additionally, if anyone has any tips on the best way to travel from Siem Reap to this area I would really appreciate the help.

Thanks!

Buriram

airport
Posted: Wed May 27, 2009 07:13 AM UTC

Anyone know if the airport is still operating?

If so, which airline(s) serve it?

It's not on Thai's list of domestic destinations any more.

Wanting to Visit Phimai-Buriram-Sukhothai within few days
Posted: Mon April 27, 2009 08:27 PM UTC

Hai all,
I've postponed my trip to June, but still, I only get few days. I'll arrive in BKK on 4th June in the morning (say, 8 or 9 AM), and leave BKK on 8th also in the morning at around 8. Tight timelime, isnt it? :-D

Now, as Ive narrowed down the choices, which one is d u think the most probable or better option?

A. BKK-Buriram-Phimai-Khorat-Phitsanulok (is there a direct bus from Khorat to Phitsanulok?) for Sukhotai-BKK

B. BKK-Sukhothai/Phitsanulok(by bus)- Buriram (if there's bus)- Phimai-BKK

I can see that Sukhothai will require an overnight stay, as it takes around 7hr from BKK. However, I hope it's possible to visit & explore Phanom Rung & Muang Tham from very early in the morning up to around lunch time before leaving for Phimai.Once at Phimai, it can be visited in the afternoon, then quickly take bus back to Khorat, connecting with bus to BKK.

Im not so sure about it, but maybe if there's bus connecting Buriram & Phitsanulok, i'd be a bit faster instead of going to BKK first.

Hope you can help me on this :-)
best,
Ali

Surin hotel info
Posted: Fri February 13, 2009 12:00 PM UTC

Hi there,

I have a friend who is getting married at the Chedi in Surin in Feb 2010 and will be travelling out there with my wife and 2 children ( 7 years and 2 1/2 years ) from the UK.

firstly, Can anyone recommend any good places to stay that offer good value and are good for children.

Perhaps there are nearby towns that are in easy travelling distance that may also have some good hotels.

Perhaps a villa anywhere as there will be other people coming out from the UK as this may bring down costs.

Thank you...

Ubon Ratchathani

Info on Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand
Posted: Tue February 10, 2009 12:59 PM UTC

Hey all

We're planning on going to a friend's wedding in Thailand this
Summer and would appreciate any tips/comments!

My friend's family live in Jangwad Ubonratchathani and when I looked at the
world map, it seemed close to Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. I'm not sure whether the nearest airport would be Bangkok or another airport in Laos or Vietnam. Also if we fly to Bangkok, we would like to spend a couple of days there so are there good train links to Jangwad Ubonratchathani?

We live in London, England and so we wish to make it our holiday too and spend a few days travelling in Thailand either before or after the wedding, perhaps for 2 weeks or so.

Any help would be great! Many thanks! :-)

From Laos to Cambodia through Thailand

My girlfriend and I are traveling through Thailand, Laos and Cambodia in feb, and are stuck on one leg of our trip. We are trying to get from Vientiane to Siem Reap but we don't have the luxury of time or money. So we are wondering what is the quickest way that isn't too expensive. Bus? Or fly from one border to the other inside Thailand?

Nong Khai

Visiting Nong Khai
Posted: Thu May 1, 2008 10:56 AM UTC

I'm coming from Vientiane to Nong Khai and am debating whether to stop off for a few days to visit the town. Being the opposite side of the mekong from Vientiane would it be too similar an experience or is there much to do and see. I've seen images of the buddhist sculpture park which looks lovely.
Is it a beautiful town and how far and easy is it to get out into a surrounding village to explore. Basically is it worth stopping off here?
