    Transfer from Pattaya to Nana BTS Hotel & then Airport

    in General discussion about Bangkok

    Posted

    You can get a bus from Pattaya to Ekamai think it's about 120bhat the bus station is right next to Ekamai BTS station so can hop straight on the BTS from there. Can get the BTS to Phaya Thai then get airport rail link to the airport depending on where your hotel is, the time of day and how many bags you've got it may be easier to just get a taxi for 350bhat. I mainly use the rail link getting from the airport into town if I arrive during peak traffic hours, it's a bit of a pain in the ass getting on the BTS with heavy bags.

    Thanks sounds good.

    Now need to figure out how to get a large suitcase from Walking Street hotel to bus station and how much that would cost?

     

    Any idea on bus time schedules?

     

    Thanks

    Bus Transfer Options From BKK after 18:00

    in Transportation & Travel

    Posted

    Hi,

    My flight lands on a Tuesday at 17:35 and I think the last bell bus according to their online schedule is at 18:00.

    There is another airport bus service to Pattaya from the airport I think at 7pm - would this be the best option?
    I wish to get to Walking Street Pattaya.

    The Bell service drops off at hotels, what would be the best stop I should depart from with the Airport Bus and how could I easily get to Walking Street with a large suitcase without paying over the odds?

     

    Thanks

    Hua Hin - 4 Days - First Time Advice Please

    in Central Thailand

    Posted

    I can give you a few answers.

     

    Ferry transport is easy, there will likely be some songtau near the terminal for about 200bt to the hotel of choice or walk to the end of the access road and grab a songtau bus for about 30bt? That will take you to the end of the road the Hilton is on.

     

    Money exchanges are plentiful. I have been short changed at the ones across from the Hilton, so any other than these.

     

    Plenty of massages. The girls in better looking uniforms are the more professional massage. Some of the ones in the bintabaht area don’t even pretend

     

    Never hired a motorbike but would suggest asking the hotel...they will have a friend and you are less likely to run into trouble. B sure of the rules before you hire.

     

    Non bar girls??? I think the only ones that will do what you want will be part timers. Try the discos near the Hilton. A lot of the wait staff style of girls go there after work.

    Thanks keepitfun

     

    Chiang Mai - First Time - Advice Please

    in Northern Thailand

    Posted

    1) Easiest thing is to get a taxi from the airport. Taxis in chiang mai are cheap. Just tell them what hotel you are staying at.

     

    2) lots of places so walk around and look for the best rate.

     

    3) Again there are lots of massage joints around, especially on Loi Kroh Road. This is thailand.

     

    4) You should do some research on attractions in advance so you have an idea of what you want to see. Once you are there you will see plenty of tour booths who can arrange these for you. Your hotel will most likely be able to also arrange this. Im actually going to Chiang Mai in June and have drawn up a small list of stuff to see. I've been before but many years ago.

     

    Wat Phra That Doi Kham (หลวงพ่อทันใจ.(Loung Por Thun Jai))

    Wat Phra Sing

    Doi Inthanon/Baan Ba Pong Piang

    Weekend market

    Monjam

    Elephant nature park

    Huay Tung Tao Lake

    Mae Kampong/Mae Kampong Waterfall

     

    5) You might find some freelancers around bars like Zoe in yellow. Your best bet though would probably be tinder, badoo or Thai friendly.

     

    6) Do research. I see a lot of people these days just starting thread asking "what should I see?". It's far more rewarding to do your own research and identify places you want to see. There is the usual stuff high up on the tourist track but if you put in some time and effort you can find many other fantastic things to see.

     

    Follow some Instagram accounts like Reviewchiangmai or thaitraveling for ideas. Use dedicated tourism forums like trip advisor for more detailed info once you find what you want to see.

     

    Tuk tuks are generally cheap but beware any tuk tuks soliciting girls.

     

    Don't go into spotlight agogo. Foxy lady as far as I know is ok.

     

    Don't go into any karaoke joints.

     

    The weekend walking st market is great. The daily night market is very touristy.

     

    Spend half a day exploring the old city. It's small enough that you can see it all on foot. Get a local sim with data so you can navigate or pick up a tourist map.

     

    Eat dinner one night at one of the riverside restaurants like pak daang, The Good View or Riverside. These are popular with the locals so you may need to be wait to be seated. Also check out Dash. Fantastic food.

     

    Check out Nimmanhaem road. It's a younger crowd with some cool cafes and bars. It's a nice change of scenery from the usual Loi Kroh bars.

     

    There's a central festival not far if you fancy the cinema or need to hit some mall type shops.

     

    If you want to watch a real Muay Thai fight then go to Kalare boxing stadium. Things might have changed but I think the fights at Loi Kroh are usually staged. Still good for some pics if you are into photography.

     

    There are lots of elephant camps in chiang mai. Don't go to ones where they let you ride on saddles. If you do want to ride one go to a place where you can ride them bareback like Patara. Tbh avoid riding them in the 1st place. It's not good for their bodies. I'd recommend elephant nature park. You get to feed and bathe them and you learn a lot about them too. For both of these places you will generally need to book ahead online. Some places like Mae Sa you can rock up on the day but places like that should be avoided.

     

    Avoid the tiger kingdom and crocodile farm. They are drugged up so unless you are devoid of any morals then you don't want to keep those shady businesses going.

    Thanks Kopite

    Ko Samui - First Time Advice

    in Southern Thailand

    Posted

    Most of what I said in the chiang mai thread applies here. Some differences to bear in mind.

     

    Koh Samui is more expensive. A lot more. A cab from the airport in chiang mai will probably only be 150-200 bhat max. Depending on where you are staying expect to pay between 500 and 700 bhat on Samui. You can of course take a shared mini van with other tourists for less.

     

    The bar action is in chaweng (more lively) and Lamai (more laid back beer bar type scene). Think there are some bars in Mae naam but I've never been there.

     

    I generally find the locals more hardened and unfriendly in Koh Samui vs chiang mai. I'm talking about the taxi drivers, touts and other folk who are more dead set on wanting your money.

     

    Deffo hire a bike (plenty of places around) as it will make it easier and cheaper to explore the island. Or find a girl with a bike.

    Thanks Kopite

    Hi,

     

    I will be arriving in Chiang Mai in around two weeks for the first time, I asked similar questions to the below on different posts for other destinations.

     

    Keen on meeting girls on an evening, occasionally during the day.

     

    I plan to book an hotel near Loi Kroh Road as that appears to be the ideal spot from what I've read.

     

    Any advice on the following:

    1) Transfer from the airport to hotel which is really close to Loi Kroh Road?

    2) Where is the best exchange shop locally for money exchange?

    3) Good massages locally (no extras required - for that I would hope to pick up a girl)?

    4) Best place locally to hire a motorbike and possible attractions to visit?

    5) Best place to go locally to learn Muay Thai as a beginner?

    5) Likely areas where I can pick up a non-bar girl and use as a tour guide for a reasonable LT fee of course?

    6) Any other tips/suggestions?

     

    I understand that's quite lot, so any responses on any of the above will be helpful and I'll also try and do my own research as well.

     

    Thanks in advance
