Hi everyone,

Planning to be there soon. Google tells me I need to walk about 30 minutes from the Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel to ICONSIAM. But my guess is that there should be boats to just cross the river in a few minutes, which Google doesn't know. Is this true?

🙌 Hello Community 🙌

I’m looking for some advice please about crossing into Malaysia from Wang Prachan (Satun).

I believe this is a great crossing point, however I’m relying on public transport to & from back to KPG.

What is the best route to take from your experience?

I believe from my research you can do this trip easily in a day?

Love any recommendations around the national park area.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

🙌💛🏝️

Hi all , I maybe in Phrichit, North Thai , in June staying at my girlfriend's house, but it's rice paddy area and I think that I'll be bored after a month. Told her that I need to escape for a week or two, don't want her to have to drive me for hours back to BKK and then have to drive back. Anyone know the area how to get to Bangkok by train or bus

( She doesn't seem to know) Or maybe a border run too somewhere from Phrichit. Thanks .

Just a Warning if u don't know already. I went to Chaengwattana this morning to extend my visa. I had an appointment so I drove there. Be warned..... most of the on street parking outside the building has been removed due to the massive ongoing construction. There is parking at levels 3 4 n 5 near the Centra Hotel but that was full. Took 30 minuts to find a space.

Leave Plenty of Time to park if you are driving to Chaengwattana over the next few months.

Hello folks. Hope alls well?

After some advice please…

We’re looking to explore northern Thailand in December.

My girlfriend is Thai but she’s never been to the north.

Got 12 days to spend a few days at each stop, but I’m just wondering if anyone has any input on itinerary, how we go from place to place, where best to spend time, costs, should I book tours or just explore?

We’re gonna fly in from don Mueang to

1. chiang rai, then to

2. nan, then to

3. mai hong son, and finally end in

4. chiang mai

Then fly back to Bangkok

I look forward to hearing you advice cos it’s always been super useful and funny at times too

Any input appreciated

Have a good day

Hi everyone, I know this probably gets asked a fair bit so feel free to direct me to a post if it's already answered here.

My current visa exemption extension expires tomorrow and I plan to go from Kai Bae to Cambodia and back again on the same day. To save hassle, I was planning to just take a coach service but there aren't (at least currently) enough people so it seems the coach will not depart tomorrow.

So I was wondering 1 things:

1. I got quoted 3500 baht for a private car to do the journey. Would anyone else who needs to do a border run be interested in sharing that and splitting the cost? And/or do you know anyone who would do it cheaper.

2. The 2nd option is just to do the whole thing via sobgthaew and public transport. This is a bit less ideal as, currently, it can be hard to get a sobgthaew departing in a timely manner due to low demand. Also, I have heard that doing it by public bus can be quite stressful due to having to deal with potential scammers etc around the border. If I do it this way, does anyone have a reliable link for bus times etc so I can make a feasible plan about the time I would need to leave Kai Bae? Previous experience has shown me that it can be hard to get accurate information. Really appreciate any guidance, thanks!
