Travelling to Thailand - Which mosquito repelent do I need
Posted by psantacreuming on 14/10/2016 at 09:44Hi everyone, I'm looking for a good and natural mosquito repellent for my Thailand trip next month. I will be in Luang prabang and Siem Reap too but mostly Thailand. I've heard that eucalyptus oil or lemon.. are more effective than the ones that contains DEEP. Can someone recommend a good one? I used Goibi brand but it's disgusting and I guess not very healthy. Thanks for your support and help. ...

A 600 baht bus trip is being offered around the island for a direct trip from your hotel on koh samui to phukett. A minivan picks you up, takes you to the ferry office, you hop on a clapped out bus to the ferry terminal where you go upstairs and the bus loads onto the ferry. During this voyage THEY GO THROUGH YOUR BAGS ON THE BUS. My battery pack was taken even though it was well packed inside (my valuables were with me) After we alighted the bus shoots of to Surat thani on this bus, after a pas ...

Sukhumvit area or Khao san to meet other backpackers ?
Posted by adam0702 on 13/10/2016 at 03:51Hi guys, I've booked a flight to Bangkok mid Jan 2017 to start a 3 month long trip to SE Asia visiting Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. It's my first time backpacking and I am travelling alone. I have been searching the internet for Facebook groups and forums where I can meet other backpackers to chat with before I leave. I've came across a website introbackpacking.com which offer backpacking inductions in Bangkok. What is the best way to meet other backpackers in Bangkok? I can't really afford a ...

Visa Exempt Extension Clarification (That's a mouthful!)
Posted by TropicTeaTime on 17/10/2016 at 19:00Hello there, I was looking for a quick bit of advice on Thailands seemingly always changing visa policies. I'm thinking about planning a trip to Thailand that will be longer than 1 month, so I will presumably need something more than the 30-day by-air visa exemption. I read that you could previously get another 30-day extension once you arrive in Thailand at an immigration office, is this still the case? If that doesn't exist anymore, is it better to just make a border run part of my itinerary ...

King Bhumibol Adulyadej has died
Posted by somtam2000 on 13/10/2016 at 06:57Multiple sources are now reporting that Thailand's Royal Palace has released a statement announcing the passing of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, Rama IV, who was the world's longest-ruling monarch. It is near impossible to describe how highly regarded he was by many Thais and to say this is an unprecedented event in Thai history is not an overstatement. Our condolences to the Kingdom of Thailand and her people. Because of Thailand's strict lese majeste laws, there has been virtually no official dis ...

Phuket to Koh Phi Phi - Ferry alternatives?
Posted by kpottermn on 12/10/2016 at 13:54My girlfriend and I are planning a trip to SE Asia in March, including 3 nights in Phuket /Koh Phi Phi. The problem is that our arrival/departure times from Phuket would seem to make it impossible to spend more than one night on Koh Phi Phi based on when we can catch a ferry back to the main island. Are there any alternatives to get across the Andaman at an earlier/later hour that won't cost an arm and a leg? What little I've seen on private speedboats suggest they're pretty pricey. ...

Posted by MagsTravels on 27/9/2016 at 13:55My husband and I are visiting Thailand and want to spend 6-7 nights on the Andaman coast at the end of October/early November 2016. We likely only have time to stay on 2 islands. Any favorites? We are looking for seclusion, and a more luxurious experience but still with lots of natural beauty and culture.

Bangkok to Kanchanaburi and back
Posted by chrisTHEbeck on 10/10/2016 at 17:59Hi, all. We are leaving Bangkok for Kanchanaburi on the early 07:45am train with the intention of staying over 1 night and returning the next day. Unfortunately the returning train to Bangkok leaves so early (2:45pm) that I can't seem to fit my itinerary around it. We are travelling to Kanchanaburi mainly for the waterfalls in Erawan National Park. As we are travelling that far it seems a shame to miss out on all the history surrounding the death railway so we'd like to incorporat ...

Need Help Deciding on the Best Time to Travel
Posted by MalcolmB on 1/10/2016 at 00:56Hello all, I just started planning my first solo trip to South East Asia, and I've decided that Thailand will be the focus of my trip. I am looking for a quiet but adventurous trip that has a bit of everything, mountains, jungles, culture, and beaches. My plan is to take at least a month and really explore the country without a set timetable. I was thinking I would make a loop from Bangkok up north to the mountains and jungles, and finish with the south-east gulf islands/beaches. One of the t ...
