Taipei - do they still issue DTV within same day? Colleague got response from them today that it takes up to 3 days if all documents are in place, if missing - up to 5 days. On the other hand, when i inquired, they told me same day. Possible that the volume of applications have increased hence longer time to process? anybody applied last week or so and got it same day? Also, has anyone booked a hotel not far from the office? if yes, could you please recommend. thanks in advance!

# Any recommendations for a hotel for 4 nights Sukhumvit area, that will allow for 4 people 2 adults, 2 kids? I go on hotel.com and priceline and most places are saying i need to book 2 rooms, which is crazy, just need room with 2 beds, 2 girls (kids) can share a bed as can a married couple. Looking to spend between 50 and 100 USD a night, any recommendations? PM's are fine also.

I have an “and everything else” Q: 8yrs ago (2016) I stayed in a hotel on what people are telling me was the backside of Kasetsart University.

All I can remember about the area from that time is the following:

coming off of whatever main road (I believe from JJ Market/Nakhon Chai Air 🚌 ) the 🚖 turned left onto my destination street and almost immediately again turned left. I was surprised at how fast we’d reached.

There was a really nice almost new looking 7-11 tucked off to my right on this soi. It had really nice and clean food stalls where you had to climb up a few stairs as I saw from the back seat to my left, and the strip had lots of nice looking hotels on the right (same side as the 7). Even the 1 I stayed in was perfect and surprisingly quiet given all the night life hustle and bustle on the strip.

It had a decent amount of night foot traffic but nothing near as busy as Soi 11… Although if you walked to the end of the soi and looked right, the man road was but a stones throw away. Someone who frequents BKK more often, please #help! What area of Kasetsart Uni was I in?!… 🤔

I can’t remember the area or the hotel because I’ve had no need to go to Bangkok since then really and I’ve got an English Camp coming up around that area week of the 7th. If I can learn the name of the area, I can probably find the hotel unless of course they’ve been remodeled/bought out. #changeisaconstant

Leaving tomorrow from bkk to pattya. Has anyone used the klook bus going there? Other recommendations?

Also any recommendations for medium priced hotels in a mostly walkable location, with decent WiFi, aircon, and hot water in shower? How many days seems enough to get a good feel of the area?

Thanks for any info 😊

Good morning beautiful Thailand ,

As I get ready to book my trip for retirement , 2 questions...........how much cash USD am I allowed to bring with me , and a nice hotel with all the amenities as I search for condos

Pattaya... Jomtien area ( don't need to be in the bar and club scene ) 🙏

Good morning everyone ,

Any good recommendations for a good hotel in Pattaya/Jomtien for the first month ish , while I search for a condo .......

We are rethinking our itinerary and any advice would be appreciated 🙏 We (2 couples almost 50s) land in Krabi after exploring Cambodia and Northern Thailand and really want to relax for a couple days and not be bothered by large crowds. We have booked Railay for 3nts and Ao Nang for 3nts then off to Koh Samui by ferry. Koh Lanta looks less busy and easy to get to from Krabi airport. would Koh Lanta be a good relaxing place or more of the same high season crowds?

Hi. Can anyone recommend a hotel in Chiang Mai that can fit a family of 5 in one room or a hotel that has connecting rooms. 2 adults and 3 children ages 3-10. I am finding it very difficult on booking sites to find a room. Any help appreciated.

If you want a good view of New Year's Eve fireworks in Bangkok from a hotel, is there an optimal location to be in/direction to face? 🎆
