Is anyone else on a DTV here feeling that Thailand isn’t for them? Where are you planning to go next?

Hi all, are there any higher altitude towns/areas in Thailand where you don’t have to use AC or fan at night? (I’m thinking somewhere around 500m, where the humidity is knocked back and the temps are cooler.)

I’m not really well-travelled in Thailand - the only cooler place I’ve been to was in the mountains outside Chiang Rai, but I’m wondering if there are more (maybe around Pai??) Thanks!

I’m about to have to do a bounce, and I was planning on visiting another country close by, but after doing some in-depth research, it’s not exactly what I though it was, so I’m opening up my options. I have it narrowed down to Da Nang, Singapore and Manila/Cebu. Is there a consensus among the group of the best destination? Sorry if it’s off-topic, but I need to figure this out ASAP. Not too worried about the budget, within reason, and I can stay as long as I want. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Edit. Basically going because my visa is up. I enjoy Thailand, and thought the Phils were comparable, but the comments online make me now think different. The usual activities... sightseeing, tours, nightlife, etc. I'm not hard to please. Just something interesting to do to bide time before returning here. 

Thanks for the add. I am in the planning phase for a visit by absorbing knowledge. Been to PI, but now want to experience Thailand. I want to stay in Pattaya City. Looking for recommendations to rent vs. hotel. How do I get from Bangkok airport to Pattaya without hassle? Is there a good or trustworthy agency to look into for rentals and safe areas to stay?

Can anyone who has done a border run recently recommend a non scammy service? Like a bus service that takes you to the cambodian border and back in 8 hours or so(from BKK). Apparantly there are a few scam companies out there with dodgy reviews so i'd really love some advice from anyone who has done it recently. I don't have the money as of just yet to get the new DVT visa so i'm stuck having to do the border runs for now... thanks in advance! (i should mention i need one that is same day return, i dont want to stay overnight in another country)

At present we are in Hua Hin looking for recommendations to stay for 10/14 days closer to Bangkok rather than than farther away , cheers

Hi Everyone

Looking for some guidance. We are booking a 3 week trip end of this year and have been talking to a local tour operator. He is going to arrange hotels internal flights and trips out from various locations. We have a driver/guide with us for about 17 days and the vehicle has air con. Trip includes 5 days in Bangkok with 4 days of tours then flight to ching mai for 5 nights with 3 days of tours 1 night in Chiang rai with 2 days of tours then flight to Phuket for 8 nights staying at Bang Tao beach. This costs £6200. Does this seem reasonable

Thanks for any comment first trip to Thailand

I am looking for a car with a driver in Bangkok for this Saturday. About 100km of total travel Suggestions?

I am absolutely disgusted by the aggregator services. Are travel agents still a thing? How much more expensive are they? Anyone have one they like?

Asking for a friend: Pakistani passport holder who is an Australian PR living in Sydney. He is currently on holidays in Pakistan now until 5 May. Should he apply for a Thai Visa in Pakistan or wait till he goes back to Sydney ?
