Would you spend 18,000 baht on dinner in Chiang Rai province?
Posted by somtam2000 on 5/5/2017 at 02:29This is a rather high-end take by the NYTimes on kicking around in Chiang Rai province. I dunno, I read the NYT and there is no way on earth I'd even consider paying 18k for dinner for two up that way. Thoughts? ...

Hi My wife and I are coming to Thailand in July for a week. Thisnis our 9th time in Thailand but first in that period as weather in Phang Nha islands tend to be rainy.

We consider Hua Hin/Cha Am but I am afraid it has mote camily orientation and the beaches are not " Thailand feel like" and not so special. So we left only Kho Samui (or Phangan..) 1. Does anyone have amother beach desti ...

Going to Koh Lanta? Don't go to the Mango Guesthouse which is featured on Travelfish
Posted by LilianKok on 3/5/2017 at 05:28We have had a horrible experience at the Mango Guesthouse + Villas on Koh Lanta. This place is featured on Travelfish, but I would strongly recommend everyone traveling here to find accommodation elsewhere. Below is the full story as a review I wrote on several channels: Me, my husband and mother (from Holland) booked one week at the Mango Guesthouse suite two+three. This accomodation was supposed to be the 'luxury' ending to a 3 week trip with mom and husband. Me and my husband had been trave ...

Five weeks in Thailand with three small children
Posted by martinah on 21/4/2017 at 13:41Dear Thailand-experts, We have visited Thailand twice for a month each time, as a family of four, and travelled in the eastern region, Koh Chang, Koh Kood, Koh Wai, Koh Maak and Trat, Chanthaburi and of course Bangkok. This time we are five (two adults and children of 7,5,1). We would like to see some new places, yet fear we won't enjoy them if they are too crowded. We didn't quite like Koh Changs northern beach (white sand beach) due to that reason. We love street food and finding genuine g ...

Where to find an electric kettle in Koh Lanta?
Posted by Megancornelius on 12/3/2017 at 23:20My partner and I are staying in Koh Lanta for 10 days. We found a great affordable room but we are looking to cook in our room to save $ on dining out.

Family Travel Bangkok Airport Prices?
Posted by goodmclean on 14/4/2017 at 22:38We are a family of 5 (Mum, Dad, 9, 7, 5) trying to get to Suvarnabhumi Airport on Monday. We are staying near Bang Chak BTS. I have calculated that if we take the BTS and then the airport train link it will cost us 100B each (kids are the same price as adults). Does anyone know if we can take a taxi for the same price or less? We are Backpackers, so we don't mind moving and carrying, but if we can cut out the hassle and do it for the same price, we will. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Tha ...

Renting motorbikes in Chiang Mai, police problems
Posted by lucasan on 18/3/2017 at 02:06I stayed some 10 days in Chiang Mai in march 2017 and had a free motorbike form a friend that lives there. In town, along the moat and on the "Superhighway" there were several check points where the police stopped only thais with no helmet and all the farangs, regardless of if you have an helmet or not. Unlike in any other place in Thailand, Cambodia and Burma, where I spent almost four months, moped drivers with no international driving licence, like I was, are fined 400 Bahts for t ...

Thung Khai Canopy Walk near Trang - hard to get back to Trang
Posted by HeidiSmith on 8/4/2017 at 22:29Based on the Travelfish notes on Trang and 'things to see', my husband and I and Thai god daughter (adult) independently visited the Thung Khai Arboretum using public transportation because the canopy walk seemed to be a lot of fun. It is a lovely park…so quiet…and the canopy walk is excellent. Free. The T Fish notes said that there are buses leaving the central bus station that pass right by the entrance (correct) and that you can catch a minibus or bus returning along this same road int ...

Advice on planning a Thai trip in August.
Posted by elysium on 27/3/2017 at 00:03Hey guys, We are going to Thailand in August. Everyone keeps telling us that it's the worst time due to the rainy season. This is why I am planning like crazy and I need some help. So far, this is what's sure: we are flying to Bangkok and planning to stay for 3 days or so. Then probably we will fly to Phuket and stay there for 1 or 2 days and then head to Krabi to check out some of the beaches and islands (I'd really appreciate someone's opinion on which islands to visit and ho ...

While waiting for an update on Travelfish, I post some news from Khao Lak, where I am staying since 10 days.

Price have gone up considerably, for example The Sandy House charges now, end of march, no peak season, 1200 Baht. No discount walk-in price and no long stay discount either. They have a mi ...

At the end of february there was no public boat service because of low water levels. You can still hire a boat for some 2500 Baht, max 4 passengers, some 6 hrs trip. If travelling alone you probably want to go by bus. I checked both bus stations in Chiang Rai and now there are only two minibus a day, leaving the old central bus station at 8 AM and 2 PM, and stopping 30 minutes later in the new bus station before leaving Chiang Rai The minivan takes you to Fang in about 3 hours, very nic ...
