Suvarnabhumi International Airport

by traveldave

When I traveled to Thailand in 1999, I flew into Don Muang International Airport. Since then, it has been replaced by Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK) which was built to handle a significant increase in air traffic into Bangkok. The new airport was opened in 2006, and is located about 19 miles (30 kilometers) east of the city center. The airport is served by most major international carriers, which makes for easy connections to Thailand from Asia, Europe and North America. The old Don Muang International Airport is now used mainly for domestic flights. Airlines serving Suvarnabhumi International Airport: Aeroflot-Russian Airlines, AeroSvit Ukrainian Airlines, Air Astana, Air Austral, Air Bagan, Air Berlin, Air China, Air France, Air-India Express, Air Koryo, Air Macau, Air Madagascar, AirAsia, All Nippon Airways, Asiana Airlines, Austrian Airlines, Bangkok Airways, Biman...

Tuk-Tuks

by traveldave

One of the fun ways to get around the crowded streets of Bangkok is by tuk-tuk. These three-wheeled open vehicles, named for the sound they make, are a common way to get around Bangkok, and the price is very inexpensive. However, it is necessary to negotiate the cost before getting in. When I rode in one, however, the driver unexpectedly took me to a small shop where he apparently got a commission for bringing passengers there. I really did not mind too much, as I bought some nice souvenirs. Afterwards, though, he tried to take me to a furniture shop (I am not sure how I would fit a couch into my suitcase), but I firmly insisted that he take me back to the hotel at that point, which he did.

Long-Tailed Boats

by traveldave

Bangkok is known for some of the worst traffic in the world. A fast and convenient way to get around is by long-tailed boat, so called because it moves at fast speeds through the water by a propeller attached to the end of a long shaft, or "tail," that extends from the back of the boat into the water.Riding on the long-tailed boats gives a unique perspective to Bangkok's riverside attractions.

Minivan from Vientiane,Laos to Chiang Mai, Thailan

by chengdu

I travelled to Thailand in July 2011. Before that trip, someone told me that there was only one choice if I wanted to go to Chiang Mai, Thailand by land from Vientiane, Laos. That was, first taking bus from Vientiane to Nong Khai, second taking bus from Nong Khai to Udon Thani, then taking bus from Udon Thani to Chiang Mai.When I was in Vientiane, I found that I had another choice which was cheaper and more convenient. I purchased the minivan ticket from Vientiane Asian World Guest House where I stayed for two nights. That was the direct minivan from Vientiane to Chiang Mai. The fare was only 600 Baht including the free pick-up service from the guest house to Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge.The Tuk-Tuk picked up me at the guest house at around 5:00PM.I transferred to a minivan at Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge. The minivan stopped at Nong Khai, Thailand for entry formalities. Then, the minivan...

airport bus to pattaya

by xymmot

Here is a copy of SirHalbred post.:::May 5,2010Re: best way to reach pattayaPosted: Wed May 5, 2010 12:58 PM EDT Your transportation depends on the time you arrive. If you arrive late at night you have fewer options. During the day to early evening hours you have a couple bus options. One of the options is Bell Travel. They operate a transportation service that takes you by bus from the Suvarnabhumi to the bus terminal on North Pattaya Road. From there they deliver you by van to your hotel. You need to reserve this service ahead of time. Bell travel posts are available using the search function. http://www.belltravelservice.com/ A second bus is "Bus 389" which leaves from the terminal and from the little bus station at the airport. This bus takes you to Pattaya and will drop you off on Sukhumvit Road (Pattaya) and you take a baht bus from there to your hotel. I used this bus just a month...

Overnight sleeper

by jojes

A lot of people seem to have doubts/questions on the overnight sleeper trains in Thailand, so I hope this helps a little !We've used the overnight sleeper several times. Only once we used a shared cabin : it was clean but extremely cold (AC was on high and we couldn't put it down). Since you're staying with a lot of people in 1 large cabin, you hear all kinds of noises at night. When the train takes off, it's all seats. After a while they come to transform the seats into beds. You get a pillow and a blanket, but it was still too cold.So the next 3 times we booked a private cabin. The first class private cabins aren't luxurious, but they were clean. You have 2 beds (n upper and a lower) with pillows and blankets. The cabin has it's own AC and a small washing bassin. The toilets have a shower and are shared, but are for use by 1st class passengers only, so not a lot of people use them. All...

Air Asia

by GracesTrips

We booked our domestic travel with Air Asia. The online site was a little confusing to use - when I indicated I resided in the USA, I couldn't put in California for my state. I went ahead and included it in my street address entry. You need to provide your passport number and the number of checked luggage you will have. If you don't indicate this in advance, I believe it will cost you more at the time of check in. The prices of the flights are deceiving because the taxes and fees are not included. The price of the flight for the two of us was 3,168.00 (US$96) baht and by the time I was done, the total was 7,222.00 baht (US$212). I opted the purchase for travel insurance because it was really not very much and covers cancellations, lost luggage, etc. About US$6 per person. Some airlines have very strict luggage requirements. On Air Asia your checked bag has a weight limit of not very...
