from Singha to Samui
Somtam et. al., We're heading down to Samui now for a one-week fasting program at The Spa on Lamai Beach. We'll have a few days on either end of that to relax and have fun and are looking for suggestions on good places to stay. We thought we'd try East Mae Nam Beach or Big Buddha for either before or after (flying out on the 6 am BKK Airways flight at the end), but would be interested in suggestions for Lamai or elsewhere too. We are typically flashpackers, but are looking more for st ...

Hi all! We are here on Samui and I'd really like to do some sort of day or half day snorkeling tour. I have a brochure from Lomprayah Catamaran for a full day trip that goes to Koh Tao and Koh Nangyuan, and includes a buffet lunch, snorkeling, transfer to and from the pier for 1400baht per person. Has anyone done this trip? If you did, what did you think of it? Has anyone done any snorkeling trips on Samui at all? We'd love to hear your feedback, good or bad. Thanks in advance! ~bunny ...

Hi, Not sure what to expect of Ko Samet. But I am travelling with some friends late July to Thailand. And we wpould like to start our trip with a beachholiday. 4 nights worth...so Ko Samet looks ideal. I have read that the weather right now is VERY bad. If it's raining...is there anything to do here? To me Ko Samet is all about the beachlife...if it's rain you have nothing else to do. And maybe a option to go to a place that's more lively? Also reading your very helpful site I notice ...

Which islands get least rain June-July?
Posted by steebee on 26/5/2006 at 01:48I will be in Thailand for my first trip June 22 - July 6. I want to visit an island or two but am concerned about the rain. The wonderful TravelFish animated weather map shows the islands of Ko Tao, Ko Pha Ngan, and Ko Samui as having less rain than the other islands during my time period. Is it still too rainy to soak up some sun on the beach or should I bring my suntan lotion? Also, what other cities from Bangkok to up north would I not have as much a problem with lots of rain? ...

Okay, you may need to humor me here, but I have some concerns. My friend and I are two women in our late twenties and would probably be what you call flashpackers-we have good jobs but we also enjoy a good value. Essentially, we want a clean, comfortable room-we're not looking for frills, or deluxe items. We'd like it to be safe, relaxing, and clean. That's about it. So far, we've decided upon Moon Huts in Samui, Lamphu House in BKK, and still looking at some other options in Chiang Mai ...

Has anyone ever heard of this place? I've tried doing some research on the place, but really haven't found a lot other than 3 or 4 reviews-all positive. Would the reason I can't find anything on it be because it's a new place? They are located on Charoenrat Rd. near the Riverside Restaurant, et al-so it seems like a good location. I don't know if it's allowed to post their website, but they do have one if you need to take a look at it. (Sorry, I'd post it but I don't know if that's ...

Hi exacto, I was just wondering if you could tell me if there are any nice beaches between BKK and Hua Hin? We would like to have 2 or 3 days at a beach area before we head home. We don't really want to go to the more popular areas because of the time and distance from BKK. If we can go by bus of train to one of these areas that would be fine. I've read that Hua Hin is a nice little fishing village and has a reasonable beach, but if there is anything around that area also, that would be fine. ...

Hi I have heard mixed reviews on whether fan or aircon is best when getting accommodation? Most places I have ended up opting for fan (eg: the resort in Koh Phangan said I was much better with fan due to sea breeze). Is this the case or should I have gotten air con in December? The places I have chosen fans are Ko Phangan, Chiang Mai & Khao Sok... Thanks Emjay ...
