Crowds around Christmas/New Year?
Posted by mashiko on 11/11/2016 at 05:47Hello! We are travelling to Thailand and Cambodia for Christmas and New Years' holidays. I was surprised to see that some seats on a bus from Bangkok to Siem Reap are already sold (only 2 out of 38, but it is 1.5 months in advance). Also I remember that couldn't book some cheap and midrange hotels around Thailand as they were booked out for Christmas in August already... I've been to Thailand before but it was some years ago and I have a feeling that around New Years it might require a muc ...

Chiang Rai Expat Bar for USA Election Watching?
Posted by chellie99 on 4/11/2016 at 06:11We're two Americans traveling in northern Thailand, and will be in Chiang Rai during the USA election - results should start to come in early morning on Nov. 9. We were hoping to maybe find a good ex pat bar or hotel to watch the election returns - any thoughts on what the best bets might be? Obviously, early morning is not typical bar time, but given the amount of interest in the election, maybe somewhere is opening early? If you have a suggestion of where the ex pats hang out for us to check ...
