I’m aiming for a bungalow on a pristine beach somewhere!

Try the Post Office or a branch Thomas Cook. The larger branches of these should be able to help you.
Don’t use a High Street bank because you’ll get the worst exchange rate.
Preferably find a friend who’s going to Thailand and sell hime the money for ‘cost’.

There are many, many places that will show games. If you don’t want to be bothered by the girls find a British or Irish pub like the one near Ripley’s Believe it or Not but not in the same little mall. Walk out for the front door of that mall and keep going and it will eventually be on the left and you walk down some stairs and into the pub. Looked a great place to watch matches but I can’t remember the name as it’s been a while. Hope it’s still open.

I want to know which tour is the best one and what place is a really nice affordable place to stay near the beach? If you have any other ideas please let me know and links please.

Amazon and B&N seem not to want to do business in this part of the world because they set the shipping charges so hight as to be rediculously disproportionate to the prices of the books themselves. I know for a fact that the US Postal book rates are not that expensive.

Please include price and travel time.

If you are travelling from the new airport see http://www.into-asia.com/bangkok/airport… and http://www.amazing-thailand.com/Pattaya.…
Getting There :
From Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) there is a bus service run by Thai International. Tickets can be purchased in the arrivals hall. Two limousine services also offer transport to and from the International airport, at a cost of 1500 Baht one way. Transfer times from the airport vary from 2 – 2½ hours depending on traffic conditions.
From Ekami Bus Terminal in Bangkok air-conditioned buses run every 20 minutes to Pattaya, and are clearly labelled in English. A taxi ride from a central Bangkok hotel to Ekami will cost 100 – 150 Baht.

im going to Pattaya on December to have an operation so If I could get more info’s where to go there while healing then i’ll truly appreciate.
what are the places to avoid?

You can get your pounds exchange for baht at any bank in Thailand. The exchange rate today at Bangkok Bank is 49.61 http://www.bangkokbank.com/Bangkok+Bank/… you can also go to Super Rich they will give a little better rate but not much http://superrich1965.com/app/index.aspx

I’m thinking of taking a 3 week holiday to Thailand next year. Hoping to spend approx. 2 days in Bangkok and then taking a train down south and spending the rest of the time going between beaches. Where are the nicest beaches to visit?

I just want to make sure. It is correct! English is my second language. Thank you

I am looking to go to Thailand beginning of December, I have been to Phuket, Ko Samui and Koh Pha-ngan before, so would like to give them a miss. Am looking for somewhere, where we can spend a week or two. My idea of the best beach is pristine white sand, clearest turquoise water, not too developed. And if at all possible, somewhere that has little beach huts to stay on. When we were in Koh Pha-ngan, we stayed at Baan Panburi, www.baanpanburivillage.com, and fell in love with this accommodation, so anything like that would be a dream!
Thanks so much

Taxi is definitely the way to go! They are parked outside and are never in short supply.
If you want to avoid the 50 baht airport surcharge, go to the departure floor and take the taxi from there. always make sure they go by meter, not flat rate. A taxi to Silom should be around 300 baht.
It is also possible to take an airport bus or take a taxi to On Nut and proceed from there by Skytrain but neither option is very convenient. With the low taxi fares in Bangkok, that is definitely to be preferred, both in terms of speed, flexibility, convenience and price (since you might not get directly to your destination by any other transportation means and thus have to incur additional charges)
Enjoy the trip.

So The current exchange rate is $34 Thai Baht for every US dollar. I bank with US Bank and they use Travelex for converting money and they only give me $30 dollars. I have a friend at BOA who says I can get $31 dollars for every US dollar. HOW can I get the actual exchange rate? Should I just transfer a little of it now and do the rest once I am in Bangkok next month? Or should I just take this loss and convert it all here.
Thanks for your help
