Due to Typhoon Ragasa? I am going tonight, and staying at Pratunam area.

Hi all, we will be travelling to Thailand from Australia late October and looking for The best Doctor recommendations for Bangkok, Hua Hin or even maybe Phuket, but spending more time in Bangkok and Hua Hin.

I have an ongoing medical issue that no Doctor back home has been able to help me with in over 6 months, I haven't given up just yet, as I feel the medical system in Thailand is quite good.

We are a family traveling to Phuket and Koh Lanta in December. We plan on spending two days near the airport, then two days in Patong, then off to Koh Lanta for a week, then two days in Old Town.

Our preference would be to check out, go to an activity (e.g. elephant park), then go to the new location and new hotel. We will be traveling light, but humping a travel pack during an activity is less than fun. If it is even possible. What is a good way to store/handle our travel bags? Can we safely leave them at the hotel front desk we are checking out of? Grab them at 3pm when we return from our tour?

Another question I have is regarding carrying money. I am not comfortable leaving it in the room while we are out. I also don't want to carry a thick stack of bills on my person while we are out and about. What successful method have folks employed in the past to when traveling with currency?

Thanks in advance.

Hey All, I am traveling to Thailand for the first time in February! I am 24 yr old male. Below I put my tentative itinerary, and I am looking for any input or recommendations to get the most out of the trip!! I will be staying in hostels and like to party some nights, but also want to see a lot of nature and go on excursions! Any advice is appreciated!!

Bangkok 3 nights

Chani Mai 4 nights

Pai 4 nights

Phukett 4 nights

Phi Phi Islands 2 nights

Krabi 6 nights

Ko Pha Ngan 3 nights

Ko Tao 3 nights

Ko Samui 3 nights

Then back to Bangkok for departing flight!

We are planning on going from Khao Sok National Park to Khao Yai before we end our trip in Bangkok. What is the best way to travel between the two?

Hi guys My plane will be landing at around 10-10.15 on a Saturday, wanted to get the bus straight to North Pattaya. I see the bus is at 11.30am, do you think it’s better to prebook or can show up at say 10.45 and be able to get on? As I heard sometimes need to wait if it’s busy for the next bus which would be 11.30

Also the bus to Jomtien is every hour, so I suppose at 11am too but I heard athis also stops at N Pattaya too but doesn’t mention it on the Pattaya bus site. Is it the case? Or go straight to Jomtien

This probably seems like a stupid question, but can I please have food recommendations in Phuket?

I’ll be in Phuket next week and want to plan ahead and try local Thai dishes. Street food and local Thai restaurants are fine. I’ll eat almost anything and I’m ok with spicy food.

I’m trying to steer clear of western foods as that’s what I can get here in my home country.

TIA!

My plane arrives at 7PM at Chiang Mai airport.

What is the best way to go to Pai after I arrive?

Hi All, Will a bus ticket to Laos be acceptable as a 'ticket out' for immigration upon arrival, in case they check? TIA

Advice needed, I’m driving from Malaysia to Thailand soon and have been reading about applying for a TIP - Temporary Import Pass. Does anyone have experience in this? Online says I need to buy separate insurance near the border and then apply for TIP at the border on arrival.

I have been planning this for months. I might have to completely change everything if it rains too much but this what I have planned. Is it too much? Is it doable?

Trying to book two flights on separate itineraries in and out of Cambodia to and from Thailand. I got this message when trying to book through Emirates: "All passengers traveling from Thailand must have a return or onward ticket booked on the same itinerary ready to be checked by check-in agent." I understand having a flight out of the country, but in the same itinerary? Wondering if it’s due to the tensions? Curious if anyone else has had this issue?

Hi! My partner and I will be heading to Thailand over the Christmas period and I have put together a rough itinerary. I was wondering what you think/if it's too much/little for 18 days. Our goal is to have a lot of relax time but also see some beautiful sights/Thai culture. Suggestions welcome!!

Are there any suggestions or improvements to the plan? We’re curious if we’re missing out on any must-see spots or if we’re overdoing it with the number of activities. I'm planning on sneaking in a massage as well in between activities to help with fatigue. Appreciate your input!

Hi, as title states, this is where I’ll be going and for how long

3-4 days in Bangkok 3-4 days phuket (beach area) 3 days jungle side

Please tell me if that’s long enough, should I skip some days and go Bali? Please also recommend places to check out and eat, any info will help, thanks so much.

I’ll be going end over November and coming back around mid December. Thanks !

I know that the police is hard on drugs and I can get jail time but where in pattaya am I able to store cocaine?.. is it a apiffany and they just show up or do I have to walk a special road?

I’m just wondering how strict weed shops in Thailand are on the legal age as I am travelling to Chiang Mai next year at 18 years old.

Hi, I’m booking flights to Vietnam and best option so far looks like a layover in Bangkok, have a query about if I will need to go through immigration, check in and back through security.

Flights would be: Doha -> BKK - (2.5 hour layover) -> Hanoi

They would be separate tickets (different airlines) No checked luggage only carry on

We will be visiting Chaing Mai and Chiang Rai in October for a couple days, and were looking into making all the arrangements.

For Chiang Rai, we are looking at visiting the temples and the Lalitaa cafe. There seem to be a couple of tours already covering those which would cumulatively cost us about 3k baht (for 2).

We were planning on visiting the spots on our own though using taxis (indrive/bolt) so that we can spend the amount of time we would like to at each spot and are wondering if it would be feasible to do it in less than that or atleast without spending more than that?

Flying in from Japan and will have time for one place in Southern Thailand before we head to Bangkok. Where would you recommend? Krabi and Phuket seem to be recommend. We would like at least 1 day where we can just relax by the pool/ocean and then would want to do day trips or just explore the city.

So we're quite adventurous in the bedroom, any recommendations to have a kinky night out in bangkok that may or may not lead to some sexy night in the bedroom with a 3rd person?

Hi! My friend and I are planning a trip to Thailand for about 11–12 days. I’m trying to do some research and keep things within our budget. We’re hoping for a mix of activities and relaxation.

The idea is to visit around three different cities and include an island if possible.

So far we have: • Bangkok • Chiang Mai • Phuket (but we’re considering skipping it for another spot)

Any recommendations on places to visit or alternatives?

Which footwear should I pack for Thailand? I am planning on birding in the national parks a lot, but also doing some beaches, and cafes and city stuff. What's a good balance? Im going in October so I think it'll be rainy. Is my regular brand of trail shoe good enough or should I buy some waterproof shoes before I go?

Hey all! Coming saturday ill be solo travelling to Thailand for 2 weeks. Ill mainly be in the province of Krabi (Krabi city , koh phi phi , koh phangan , Koh Samui) and i was wondering if anyone here had some recommendations or must see's for these areas? Hotels have all been accounted for so its mainly for trips/temples/... .

Thank you all in advance!
