Thailand is probably the best country for travelling <BR>either inexpensively or luxuriously. I've been there <BR>4 times for the past 5 years; each trip is at least <BR>for 2 weeks. I'd like to share my exprience with anyone who's been to or going to this wonderful country!

Was in Thailand in 1993; visited Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Hua Hin. Am returning in January next. Not yet decided finally where to go/stay. <BR>Paul.

<BR>Hi <BR>Will be happy to answer your questionnaire. <BR>Have visited Thailand many times. <BR>Bye for now <BR>Leslie

im planning to go to bangkok and ko samui in late september with my sister. we are middle-aged but youd never believe it, european background and have travelled to thailand before. anyone been to kosamui? are we too old?

Hi, <BR> <BR>My mother and I will be visiting Chiang Mei in October. Does anyone have recommendations as to a moderately placed hotel to stay in once we are there? Also, what are the best trips to take as we only have three days? <BR> <BR>Thanks

I've spent 5-6 months on Koh Samui and don't worry <BR>about your age. If time is short and you can <BR>afford it fly directly to Samui. Tell everyone <BR>who is trying to set you up with a hotel that you <BR>are meeting a friend and staying with them. Get <BR>a taxi from the airport to chawang beach go to <BR>The Ark Bar Which is on the beach (run great people) buy a cool one and ask the bartender or one of the <BR>ex pats hanging about where to stay in X dollars <BR>a nite range and you'll be able to walk to <BR>several wunderful places nearby (at various prices) <BR>Don't commit to more than one or two nites stay <BR>because the island has more great places to stay <BR>than you can imagine. Plan to stay in several <BR>different hotels as you explore around the island. <BR>Prices are great for food, lodging, & nite life <BR>Lots of things to do & see <BR>If flying to expensive from bbk take the train <BR>2nd class fan sleeper is comfortable and you meet <BR>great people on the trip who are going to Samui <BR>If your a good judge of people, other travelers <BR>can be a great part of your trip. <BR>Enjoy <BR>Randy

I suppose by now you may have finishet your work, but if not I'll be glad to contribute. My husband and I have visited Thailand several times and are going again this December. We like Thailand very much. But I have a collegue who's just back after travelling around half the world for one year, and they said that Thailand was their only disappointment. I'm sure he'll be glad to contribute as well. His e-mail address is: [email protected] <BR>I think different experiences may have something to do with what budget you're travelling on, even if I obviously can't know for certain. <BR> <BR>

Just returned from 30 days in BKK. Found negotiating for everything trying. Can you explain how to book studio condos at JTC 191 Silom or Tower Inn or other short term condos. <BR>Thanks <BR>
