My family and I are planning to go to Bangkok, Thailand this year end. Could you(preferably a local) tell me some must-see and must-go places in Bangkok. You know, stuff like the famous streets selling insects and stuff like that, stuff that pictures the whole of Bangkok and places to eat which costs less and good, reasonably priced hotels.
Thanks!

what should i do???

I’m an Australian planning on spending 5 months in Thailand, starting in mid August 2009.
Half-way through my trip (late October 2009), I’m going to Australia for 3 weeks, but I’m returning to Thailand until January, and I plan on spending as much time as possible in the Ko Phangan / Ko Samui area.
Problem is, due to some issues with running out of pages in my passport, I’ve last-minute had to renew my passport, and I’m not going to get it back in time to get the 60 day tourist visa here in London (timeframe is just too tight).
So I’ll be entering Thailand without a pre-organised visa, so I think that means I get the 30 day visa exemption…
SO if I enter Thailand in this way, can I somehow upgrade it to what I really want, which is the Triple Entry 60 Day Tourist Visa?
Another way I’ve thought could be to do a visa run every 30 days until I get to Australia, and then get the 60 Day Tourist Visa in Australia…
It’s all a bit confusing, I wish I had time to get it from here in London but I don’t - any help would be really appreciated!!!

Do you think $2000 US dollars is enough or to much?

I live in the US right now but me and my wife are looking at ways to move out of the country and start a company of our own overseas. Looking very seriously at thailand. Do american banks allow you to take out a loan in order to start a business out of the country?

I can’t read any thai language E-mail subject in beta. I must turn back to old version before read them.

Could anyone give me an idea of what Bangkok is like in terms of things to do for a teenager.
Are the malls
Bowling alleys
Go karting
Football
Clubs
And how safe would you say the city is?
also are there any decent secondary schools?
How Clean is it?
Traffic
Crime?
You here the worst things about Thailand but Id like to hear from those who live there

my wife used to work for a firm in bkk that performed visa services for ur situation. she ended up quitting due to the unscrupulous practices of the owners. their services can help, but just be weary. they advertise in the back pages of the bangkok post classified section. be careful of the ones that guarantee approval. there is no guarantee. will u get money back if it fails approval? your uk embassy is one of the toughest. are u married? are u partners? friends? depends on so much… does the person own anything like land or home that gives reason to the embassy that they would return to thailand? they are basically afraid the thai person will become a financial liability to the country.. so u will need someone to coach u thru the process.. and dont let the embassy know u use an agency..

I am graduating from college in May and I am trying to plan a trip to Thailand with two good friends. I want to go somewhere exciting near the beach. I want to go somewhere that really encompasses Thai culture, with beautiful landscapes and such. Also, I want to stay in an area that is safe for western tourists

Thai & Japanese have got to be my FAVORITE foods hands down. Just can’t seem to choose between the two. Anybody have any good recipes? My favorite Thai dish is Pad Thai. I have a few others but that’s up there. My husbands is anything with Peanut Sauce. Japanese I just can’t seem to put a finger on anything that is my favorite because I love it all so much!

I am visiting in June. If you know the current minimum drinking age for clubs in Bangkok, I would appreciate that as well!

did you see josef fritzl on tv news wearing his “speedos” in thailand ? look closely and you will notice the letter “S” is missing !

My family is going to be hosting an exchange student from Thailand. She going to be staying with us for the year. I was wondering if anyone has hosted a female exchange student from here before?

planning a trip to thailand in january. group of 5 girls…. would Phuket or pattaya be a better destination? Fly or drive from bangkok? we would like a mixture of things to do… elephant tours, crockadile farms…clubs and good nightlife…etc..

Hi, for a 10-day holiday, I guess you will have to decide what you would like to do. I can offer 2 options based on your arrival airport.
Option 1 - arrival in Bangkok
Bangkok has quite a few things you can do. For instance:
Visit to the ancient city of Ayutthaya. See the former capital of Thailand. This site is a on the international heritage list. This is a one day visit.
City and river tour. Travel to see the sights in the city, and followed with a tour to see the city from the river point of view. This will be a day.
Grand Palace and Vinminek Mansion tour. Visit the former residence of the Thai Kings and the house of King Rama 5 which has been converted into a museum. One day affair.
Shopping in Bangkok will last a couple of days. The Grand Sale starts in Jun and last till july. With massive discounts country wide, you can expect to find bargains. With some big malls around, you will need quite a bit of time. There is MBK Centre, a popular tourist destination. Siam Paragon is new with and indoor marine aquaruim. The aquarium will last half day to view. There is Chatuchak weekend market on weekends only. Place is so huge, you need more than a day just to cover the many stalls selling anything under the sun. Plenty of bargains to be found. Equivalent at night is the Suan Luum Night Bazaar. Takes you an evening to cover. There is Silom Night Market, Sukhumvit Night Market, Khao San Night Market to visit too.
Another place not to miss is the Pratunam Wholesale Centre, with hundreds of shops selling clothes at wholesale price. The more you buy, the cheaper it gets. Many traders come here to stock up, and quite a few are overseas buyers.
A quick calculation, easily 3 days to try these, and there are more malls, like Central Chidlom, E Emporium, Queen Sirikit Convention Centre, Central World Plaza, Siam Square etc. With the sales, even the locals are shopping.
Theme parks to visit, Thailand Cultural Centre to see traditional Thai dances, ancient city of Muang Boran, Dusit Zoo, Safari World, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, Water World etc.
So you can spend 10 days just in one city.
Option 2 - Chiangmai arrival
Chiangmai is about 700km north-west of Bangkok. This place has cooler clime and is favoured by those who cannot stand the heat in the Bangkok. Having a more undulating terrain, there are nice mountain resorts to relax in.
The Mae sa Valley Resort is known for it surrounding. Set in the valley up the hills, you are greeted by morning mist each day. Nearby is a botanic garden to visit. Nearby are local tradesman village and culturalcentre. You can learn some Thai handicraft and even Thai food cooking. Will have to check with the centre for the type of courses available.
Staying here will be easily 3-4 days realxation.
Next will be the main city of Chiangmai. With shopping centre and night markets, you will spend a fair bit of time shopping at both day and night.
Go for a Kantoke dinner and Thai Cultural Show at the Cultural Centre. The cuisine is typical nothern Thai Lanna style. And the dances are of the different hilltribes in northern Thailand.
Visits in the town is the Doi Suthep Hilltop temple. The Royal Family do visit this place if they are in the vicinity. There are national parks and garden at Phuping palace just further up the road from this temple.
Outlying areas, there is the National Elephant Centre, where besides showing you elephants at work and play, you can also go for an overnight elephant trek, or take up elephant riding course. All offered at the centre.
There are snake farm, bee farm, to visit. Spa resorts are also found in the area. Limestone caves too.
All in, this is the place to just relax.

there will be 8 people in my group and would like to go straight to pattaya. how much is the usual rate for a van? any specific rental van company you can recommend?

I would like to try doing business in the internet. I would like to know where can i get the goods from taiwan,thailand and korea etc, for direct import. Can anyone enlighten me?

try barnes & noble or borders
