For routes, with lines between the cities.

Preferable an interactive one. But an image would be ok.

Edit:

Found one, but the routes are a little limited.

How about a sleeper bus/train route map?

Thank you Bangmai. Can you give visual directions for walking to the Airport Plaza to catch a yellow pickup?

Any idea where i can get a salad for 50-60 baht? No cheese or ham. Veg salad.

The mall has wifi from dtac and true. You need to register, I have no idea how it works. It seems true have the same system as bangkok airport, which was so annoying I gave up.

Just get a dtac SIM card and register to unlimited 3G for 59 baht - 1 week. Total bargain. ask in any dtac shop.

Thank you so much. Can you suggest any affordable guest houses / hotels in any of those towns, or are there likely to be several ?

Alternatively, I can just look online I guess... most places are on the internet these days right.

Here in Udon Thani I noticed the public transport is not the main means of transport for normal Thais - they tend to have their own motorbike. This makes me think I will need to rent one in any town I visit if I want to get about properly, since the tuktuks are bad value.

I'm on a 5 month vacation so I don't need to be spending a lot of money to sleep every night.

Serious answers welcome. Don't be a douche.

Thank you.

I would like to maybe go from Udon Thani to Chiang Mai and see Thailand along the way. I can make several days out of it. Is it possible to get transport to stop at towns along the way where I can stay overnight?

Can you recommend a Chiang Mai hotel for this price please.

It will be first visit to the city, so it would be welcomed - a bit of advice on nice areas to visit. I like markets, and places not loud where you can talk to people.

I need two teachers. All the applicants so far have not been qualified or native speakers. So, i would say the demand for experienced native speakers is high.

Note: I am of the opinion that a 1 month qualification with no experience is not qualified.

Do you mean to say that all your applicants have been non-native speakers? (As well as having a qualification below what you require?)

If this is the case, then I suspect you might need to hire either a native speaker with a 1 month qualification, or a highly qualified non-native speaker.

Sounds like it wouldn't be too hard for a Brit like myself to find work then.

If I may deviate slightly from the topic, what standard of qualification are you looking for? And how much more will you pay for someone with a better qualification?

I'm asking to figure out the potential return on my potential investment.

So to clarify, the red vans offer a flat rate of 20 baht and cover most of the city? All of it?

What do you mean don't beleive underground stations?

Is it practical to get around with public transport or must you have your own motorbike?

Are the streets total chaos like in Bangkok? I would not ride a motorbike there.

How much is it to rent one in Chiang Mai?

What's a good place to send stuff to in Thailand when you are not of a fixed address? (I come here for the winters to avoid cold weather at home, and move around. ) Perhaps someone else has similar experience or can make a suggestion which places to not send my stuff to.. I.E. Places that are not likely to forget my package behind the couch.

What's the current demand for newly qualified English teachers with a 1 month english teaching qualification?

Please share your experience on all and any part of Thailand (or indeed other countries).

I just can't beleive Thailand has made it such an effort to get a visa.

I have heard people mention getting a "real visa" - a visa that doesn't require leaving the country. How much does that cost?

Yeah but how long does the 2 entry 2000baht Thai visa last?

Also 40 dollars is too much to get into Laos. I just want a Thai visa, i don't care about staying in laos.

So i better get a longer visa now while I'm in Udon Thani, nearer a boarder, as my next stop, Chiang Mai, will be much more of a hassel, right?

What's the price for 2 months and 3 months in loas? If you could be so kind to tell.

Tried it? Is it any good? I'd like to buy some good quality lotion thats not thin in consistency and has no strong smell.

I go to the Mall in Bangkapi.....most of the stuff there is reasonable....got some good jeans the other week for 800 Baht.

If you want cheaper try the markets and bargain hard.

Is it hard to bargain as a white person? I think they tend to view me as rich and therefore don't want to budge on price much.

I'm from London where the middle eastern influence taught me to bargain but I found it pretty hard in Bangkok especially with the language barrier.

As a comparison, it's easy to buy a half decent baseball cap for 125 pesos in the Philippines (under 100 baht). But what i saw in Udon Thani today is none for less than 390 baht.

Malls are a good deal more expensive here in Thailand than I expected.

I landed in Bangkok and Thailand on 1st January.

I'm now in Udon Thani.

I'd like to stay in Thailand until the end of February, possibly March or April, outside chance of staying until May.

Question 1. Can I get a 1 month extension in Udon Thani or Chiang Mai?

2. If not, the most cost effective way is going to Vientiane? I heard its pretty bad value for hotels and transport, and I don't want to catch bed bugs.

3. How much would the visas i might go for cost?

Thank you!!!

how much would the above guys expect to pay per hour for 1 on 1 guitar lessons?

I must have just missed it because all the flights are 12,123 pesos each way now. That's not cheap at all. Thanks.
