Not sure if this has been done to death but had a quick look and couldn't see anything.

Previously when i was in thailand i had a DTAC prepaid sim where i would buy credit and put on data packages which were 1gb or 3gb full speed then dropped down till the end of the month.

Which company provides the best bang for your buck data wise. I'm imagining i would be mainly using data and next to no calls or texts. Hoping to get a similar deal where it's 'unlimited' data.

I'll be based in thailand for at least 2 months.

Cheers for your help.

go to chiang mai, have lived in both.

What happens if you 'dont' have any money?

Hey guys, who can recommend a cheap/value for money gym in pattaya for short memberships (under a month). Cheers

get a e-visa for cambodia and hit the border for opening at 8 am, fastest way of doing it!

Thai GF is like attaching a 20kg boullet to your leg, gogo bars have draft beer at 60baht so it doesn't cost too much to do a mini gogo crawl

You can eat thai food at 30-40baht a plate, so if two times a day + small at home breakie you won't spend more than 100 baht for food per day, 30k per month is no problem at all in pattaya if you know your way with money,

This is really it, easy to live on 30,000 a month follow above and you will have 500 a day spare!!

Go to The counter marked "Pattaya" on the 1st Floor between doors 7 & 8. (Actually, this is the same counter as Bell Travel).

The bus leaves hourly until 8:00 p.m. (The 9:00 and 10:00 p.m. departures go only as far as Naklua). The bus stops on Sukhumwit at the corners of North, Central, and South Road, then continues to its terminus in Jomtien. Running time is 2 hrs. to Jomtien. If you want to take this bus for your return to Bkk., you must board at the terminal in Jomtien. Northbound to Bkk., it does not stop at the side of the road to board passengers. Running time northbound is 90 min.

So this is wrong then? as the website says 6pm last bus.

Conflicting information, what time does this bus finish?

Hey guys,

Just bought a flight landing at 7 pm on new years eve. Want to get to Pattaya for the count down, what is the quickest bus from the airport (also want it to be good value)?

Cheers

Are you interested in Jomtien ?

Just google it doesn't sound like there is much happening.

Try soi 9 between 2nd and Buakow. AKA soi Skaew beach.

You are now 1 block from the beach and Central.

Thanks bud, what does that get me? apartment wise?

What area of Patts are you looking at? There is a lot available for that price range.

Want to be close to the beach and night life, but at the same time dont really want to be living on top of it.

Hey guys,

Just finished 3 months in Chiang Mai and hoping to spend 3 more in Pattaya. Can anyone recommend accommodation between 5000-10,000 baht a month. I know it's not a massive budget but it got me a room with ac, cable tv and internet in chiang mai.

Also interested to here from people with a spare room to rent.

Cheers

If anyone could point me in the right direction or a surfing forum for south east asia.

cheers

Dam, I ended up paying 666 for the 8pm vip bus run by chackrapong tour. The bus configuration is four across not the standard three across vip.

Where abouts in the bus station is the booth?

Hello,

Need some advice on getting my laptop online. I'm in Chiang Mai? Who has good coverage and best priced plans? Plus what hardware do I need? Airblade?

Cheers

Thanks for all the great suggestions guys, I checked out payap university today and they had the library on lock down (turnstiles) which was disapointing.

I will check out some of the other suggestions tomorrow but really looking for somewhere that has limited distractions, Thanks again all.
