Legend Claws Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Superb country! Check out Bangkok for some city madness and head to Ko Phi Phi for some island life. ****et is a dive so avoid at all costs. There is so much to see mate check http://www.tripadvisor.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therapist Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Thailand's great. Bangkok's great for a few days but hectic. Make sure you visit Patpong Road. be careful if you get a taxi. Many are on commission from certain bars and restaurants and will attempt to drop you off at those places rather than where you actually want to go! Despite the previous comment, I really like Pooket* itself. There are some very very nice places away from the more downmarket hustle and bustle. Phi Phi and Krabi are excellent. Avoid Pattaya. I'm going back at the end of the year for three weeks; Khao Lak, 5 day liveaboard dive trip out of Pooket, and Cape Panwa, a top notch resort just outside Pooket. Bring it on. * Spelt like this to avoid sweary filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvonnejambo Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Head up north to Chaing Mai (flights within Thailand are very cheap and much better than we have here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The east and west sides suffer monsoon weather at different times. Make sure you check when monsoon is for the place(s) you plan to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillie chris Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Pattaya is great. The meals and seafood is brilliant eat also where the locals eat. The seafood is fresh as feck out of the tank alive, cooked and onto your plate. If your hire a jet ski dont crash it they will try and charge you ?6000 for a book size bit damage just argue the toss and tell them they are getting feck all and go to the police. The jet ski owners might intimidate you but tell them the damage was already there you wont get jailed its a civil matter. Go to You Tube and type in Pattaya Walking Street. The best holiday Ive been on!!!! Go November - March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Hi folks, just after a bit of advice, has anyone been to Thailand? any advice? whats the best places to go? cheers You can have virtually any kind of holiday you want in Thailand. What are you looking for? Beaches? Walking? Culture? Jungle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Era Macaroons Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 What are you suggesting? Merely informing OP of more well known side of Thailand....also forgot to mention drugs in abundance and full moon partys thatll blow your hied off. Im sure you dont do any of that though. Im sure I had your avatar in mind when I posted.....(thats not REALLY you is it?) and dont be sad , its sunny outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therapist Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Im sure you dont do any of that though. Er, no. Fortunately the avatar is not me. It's a pic of a typical hobo we ran into in Middleton's Bar after the game a couple of season's ago. His chum was equally gormless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heres Rixxy Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I am in Thailand at the moment, having a ball! I have only been to Bangkok, Kanchanaburi and currently in Chiang Mai. Bangkok is good for some sight sightseeing, but depending on what type of holiday you are looking for I would suggest the islands for a beach holiday or head north for a true Thailand experience. Would also recommend 2/3 days in Kanchanaburi for River Kwai Bridge, Hellfire Pass or Tiger Temple Oh and also have lots of Chang beer - tastes great and is less than 50p a bottle!

Rab Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Rab, is that the place you told me about where you "made friends with" the lady with the adam's apple? Listen, I was on a well deserved break, had a few Changs, some Cobra whisky and it felt good. Allright? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Kidd Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Koh Lanta and Reilly Beach (sp) are a class apart. The "happy hours" at Summertime Bar on Koh Lanta has to be seen to be believed. Biggest biftas I've ever seen with my own eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
