Is there free wifi at the fish market ?

First, how long do you have for this trip? You could spend a long time exploring that part of Thailand.

If you are already in Ayutthaha, maybe a stop in Kanchanaburi? Plenty to see there.

Hua Hin has some attractions, the beach is OK. I like some places south of there quite a bit. Like Ban Kruit:

Bang Saphan is also very nice. Down near the ferry to Samui is Khanom. Nice small town.

The drive from the Samui ferry to Krabi is quite nice. I've only done this trip one time, but really enjoyed it.

I expect something like 1-2 weeks, my familly will stay here for 5 weeks

Can you advice me about Kanchanaburi ?

my plan is when we reach koh samui, we spend the time we feel is enough in the island, and then drive to krabi from there we can reach Phi Phi islands, james Bond islands ect. that area inthere is quite nice too.

Any advice is appreiated. with links is even better.

Jesper

In Krabi you might want to stay at Ao Nang, plenty of nice hotels there and possibilities to visit the islands. You might want to reconsider visiting James bond island. There's really no difference between that island and any of the hundreds of islands in the bay, except for the price of the excursion. I consider it a tourist trap.

The road to take from the mainland side of the ferry is highway number 44, very scenic and not much commercial traffic (trucks).

This road ends at Ao Leuk where you join highway number 4 to Krabi.

Sorry have no relevant info abt Koh Samui, my last visit was almost 20 years ago.

The info from CraigT above is also something to consider as alternative to Hua Hin (also tourist trap).

Anyway have a good trip.

Where does one buy Citric Acid crystals from please?

Any pharmacy.

Too bad, I banned myself to Belgium this month, bought 500gm of Leonidas white manons yesterday, paid 5.75 euros, around 225B.

Will check the price of Neuhaus (my preferred brand) tomorrow, probably around 30 euro/kg?

Mmmmmmmmm, white Manons from Leonidas. My absolute favourite of chocolates.

That, Lindemans kriek, Duvel and a Roggeverdoemeke are what I miss most here in Thailand.

Enjoy yourself !

Depends on the airline.

Most airlines open the check-in 3 hours before departure. Thai you can check-in much earlier.

Yermanee

The arrival card is all about your identity, and address were you'll be staying.

There used to be a separate card for custom's but these have been abolished quite some time ago.

Yermanee

I could'nt get the link to work this one should - http://www.businesst...-joins-oneworld

it seems to be the same link

It's exactly the same link. Maybe a momentary glitch ?

Yermanee

Hmmm....as BA Silver I could use their lounge at BKK then?

If they ever get one that is!

One of the reasons I prefer Oman Air, they have one at BKK, nice one too !!!

Good news for FFP members.

Neil Diamond said it best in " Hell Yeah "

I've been livin' in a bowl

With a lot of people starin'

With my feet on shaky ground

And my head up in the sky

But it’s where I wanna be

It’s a life that’s made for carin'

Got a song to pass the day

And a girl to share the night

So if they ask you when I'm gone

Was it everything he wanted?

When he had to travel on

Did he know he'd be missed?

You can tell them this

Hell yeah he did

He saw it all

He walked the line

Never had to crawl

He cried a bit

But not for long

Hell yeah he found the life that he was after

Filled it up with love and laughter

Finally got it right and made it fit

Hell yeah he did

+++++++++++

It's up to you to make it worthwhile, nobody is going to do it for you.

I struggled through nearly 12 pages of this brigade thing, and I still don't know which one I belong too.

My fault entirely

Yermanee

The rare although very female poster brigade?.........(NO, I am not hitting on you!!! )

The confused and indecisive brigade?

If anything it would be the "old potbellied german sexpat with lederhosen"

Something like this :

I think OP is in dire need of some attention.

His Tesco girl must be working very long hours for him to be so lonely

Yermanee

3 hours a day and she earns 250K a month? Doing what? I assume 250K is baht, so that equates to around $8000 a month or $2000 a week, or $100 an hour. Have I got my sums right?

am = ante meridiem = before midday

pm = post meridiem = after midday

Just so you know for next time you get confused with time

Yermanee

I know who's confused and it's not me. 12pm is midday, 12am is midnight. Correct?

Oops, sorry. I'll clean my reading glasses now

Did you enjoy the massage ?

Probably a slow day and they wanted to chat a little.

Yermanee

It's one of the older resorts in Ao Nang and a bit past it's prime.

I never staid there because it's situated on a hillside in a side street of beach road between Nopparat Tara and Ao Nang beaches.

Lots of stairs to climb or descend, that's a definate no-no for me, but heard from people staying there that it's got wonderful views over the bay, depending on where your room is situated.

My favorite hotel there was the Golden beach (the bungalows) direct on the beach (breakfast only so-so) but at night a nice sunset and a stroll away from " The last Cafe".

However my last visit was 5-6 years ago, so don't hold me to it.

Yermanee

Do you mind? ............... I was married to the Wicked Witch

Just curious.

Was she from the East or from the West ?

Yermanee

Yermanee, I'll drink that Duvel on your health next Tuesday!

Good !!!

Thank you, my health needs it Drink a couple, that would be better

Yermanee

Jacktrip you really are clueless aren't you ?

Yermanee

Hi Tartempion,

As you know I'm a fellow countryman and I exactly know and understand what your saying.

I feel much the same as you and I also travel twice a year in business class back to the old country for a week or so.

Just long enough to enjoy and sample the food, beer and a good bottle of wine, see old friends and re-live the past over a good meal.

But after one week I can't wait to go back home again, here in Thailand.

I do have to say however that politics never interested me, not in Belgium and not in Thailand, and do realize that if it weren't for the strict laws and regulations and heavy fines, the traffic situation in Europe would be the same or even worse than here.

Anyway enjoy your stay and a nice cold "Duvel" with the mussels !!!!!

Yermanee

Au Bon Coin - Pratumnakroad Soi 9

The only one I would consider visiting back home.

Yermanee

I don't think reporting the names hurts - after all - it is what it is. The victim likes ladyboys and the lady boy team are crims. The location - Pattaya -

Now just suppose that the German man is married, or that he doesn't want everyone to know he likes ladyboys ?

No respect for privacy that's what it is. He didn't commit any crime did he ?

Yermanee

Very nice of Pattaya One to plaster not only the name of the victim of the crime, but also the approximate location of his business.
