Thailand - 3 weeks in april - itinerary - help/advice wanted please?

[Thaiguy]

any help advice/info much appreciated.

Always drink bottled water, and don't flip anyone off.

Stay inside during "Songkhan" - don't believe the travel brochures that say you might expect a "minor sprinkling " - expect a small boy to halt your Tuk Tuk while he HOSES you down and sticks it down the back of your shorts - oh it's so much fun.

Just come to Pattaya, it will be dead by April

Come On...

Don't buy shares in any bars for sale as advertised on the walls of the "Hong Nam" - you could become the 100,000,000 share holder in nothing.

[Thaiguy]

Whatever you do have a great time and keep your wits about yourself as things are a little bit more dangerous here these days even compared to last year.

Make sure you stay in secure resorts, don't hire any jet skies and never accept drinks from prostitutes and carry the bear minimum of cash with you.

When you go out don't wear gold chains and rolex watches as you will lose them.

Other then that have a great holiday mate!

Make sure you leave your passort under secure lock and key in the hotel safe and make sure you carry a shrink wrapped copy with you at all times - carry nothing in your hip pockets.
You will enjoy yourself if you behave yourself!

[ceedee1]

will be arriving april 3rd and leaving april 24th and i would like to fit in as many places as possible.......................................... ............................any help advice/info much appreciated

thanks

With that itinerary you'll be spending half your time on buses, asshole to elbow with smelly hippie backpackers.
Sounds like fun!
I suggest spending your 3 weeks in Phnom Penh for some serious fun!
Screw that hippie/island/backpacker noise and smell.
Why only 1 night in Bangkok?
Bangkok has to be the coolest city on the planet!
My 2 cents

If you do the islands don't forget some good sunscreen, bug-dope, and shark repellent.

no buses,just boats and a couple of flights and im no snob but being stuck in close quarters with the 'smelly hippie bacpackers' isn'nt my idea of fun either.

btw if you read carefully my itinerary includes between 3-5 nights in bangkok.

and yes i agree its the coolest city on the planet

yeah i know all about songkran havingexperienced it last year,everything of any value,money,phone,camera all in plastic sealey bags.

thanks.

hopefully from this board.

thanks.

I dont get you at all;
You have been here 5 times and still you want more info? WHY!!!! just go anywhere in Thailand and experience something new rather than ask us what to do or where to go.

Last May i travelled for a month around northern thailand by car and had a great time, drove down roads not on maps and visited Burmese villages without names and asked NOBODY what to do or where to go.

Get out and do it

some of us have very limited holiday time and want to make the most of it,thats why all the questions,i found myself visiting thailand in the past and wasting considerable amount of time being in places i didnt want to be in due to lack of research.

oh,you don't like to travel by bus,so you can 't see more than 70% of the country!

Been living in Thailand over 25 years and there are very few parts of the country i have not visited by car.

It is no less safe now than before when u figure in that tourism has increased from 5,000,000/year to voer 15,000,000

I feel safer here than part of many cities in america where u cant even show up with out getting the shit kicked out of u> I know NOWHERE in Thailand that would happen.

How long u been here? Just becaue u have thousands and thousands of worthless posts does not make u an expert at anything


" ...found myself visiting thailand in the past and wasting considerable amount of time being in places i didnt want to be in due to lack of research. "

to me traveling is never wasted time.

There are NO parts of thailand i would not feel more safe in than many cities in america where even showing up is inviting trouble,

With thousands of mostley worthless post your the one who is amazing

[Loy Toy]

Have had a work permit here for 22 years, worked with thousands of Thais, travelled throughout Thailand and my Mrs owns land in the North, South, Bangkok and Pattaya.

Apart from that everyone who has lived here for any amount of time would agree that Thailand has become a more dangerous place to live particularly over the last 5 years.

To compare the place to America is a joke but the fact remains there are a lot of desperate people on the Thai Streets today and you have to be a lot more aware these days and when compared to the past.

Blaming my post count doesn't cut it here mate and I was only trying to pass on some reasonable advice before you come in with your Bullshit attack.

agreed.

the travelling there wasnt the issue,(i enjoyed that bit,the boat journey)it was the being there (at my destination) that was the wasted time.

oh well,you live and you learn,had i not of been to these places i would never have known if i had liked them or not,all part of the experience i suppose.

and to all the thread hijackers

[ceedee1]
