Hi sunlovers

We will be vacationing in your island home during the Thai New Year. We are planning on making our own grass skirts up here before we arrive so that we don't look like tourists.

Could someone tell us what length of skirt is in fashion this season.

Thank you and Merry Christmas to all

Peace

SP Hotel & S House are the same place. Doubt they r on the net. When u get to Thip Sukon Hotel turn left up steep hill . About 10 yards u find S-House on the right.. The room prices vary - sunday is a low price day.She got it for free when she separated from her American partner.

Mae Sai GH has rattan walls with gaps, no heating & not much in bedding.

When you walk along the road have a good look around as some places are not easy to see. Blocked by shops, down narrow alleys & above restaurants.

I lived near Port Townsend for a summer.

I think its normal that CR have many checking points. CR share border with Burma and Laos...obvious a drugs route include illegal traffic of all kinds.

Just take your id card or a copy of your passport on yourself should be fine. They're just doing their job. Although i've been asking for my Thai ID people still think i'm a foreigner (i dont look like Thai according to many peoples).

I didn't mean to suggest I had a problem with the checks.

But I didn't understand why there were none in E-sarn. There are the same concerns there with drug smuggling - in Khemmarat they had two drug sniffer dogs & they body searched everyone.

thanks alot so far but i would like a itinary of trip if some one could sort it ou tfor me

Bangkok to Butterworth everyday train 35 leaves 14.45 arrives 11.45 [malaysia time] next day

Butterworth to KL everyday train leaves 21.30 arrives 6.45 [maybe] next day

KL to Singapore 3 trains a day

Places along the river,like Mae Sai guest house, are very cold in January. Freezing wind.

When u arrive at the bridge at Mae Sai turn left under the covered road. There are a lot of guest houses & hotels along there. Easy to find one that u like & not expensive.SP Hotel is ok

To be sure of a seat u need to go to the bus station. But the bus does pickup at Arcade [ the clock tower ] down town. No bus from border to Krabi

I just walked past the customs, smiling.Learnt that from Miss Perfect.

The only rude Thai woman I have met in the 30 years I have lived here was at my Embassy

You need to take your own food & drinks on the boat. U can resupply at Pak Beng.

Don't order a bread roll from the hotel there tho - get it from the independent vendors in the morning, at the dock area.

Take a cushion

Thanks for the advice. I only ride around town - more than about 3 miles & the hills get too steep

There aren't any bars in our town.

I read a report a few years ago about a Japanese store that had Santa on a cross.

Muse Bar only has interesting evenings occasionally.

I'm after one of those "stretch" models. A guy in the next village has had 1 for a year. Looks like new. He got it in BKK for 7,500 BT.

Seat pitch is advertised as 72.5cm, or 28.5 inches.

You can pay an extra Sing$25 when you are booking to upgrade to a seat with extra legroom ie 97.5cm, or 38 inches.

Interestingly the seat upgrade cost for flying in Oz on Tiger's new service is A$25, or Sing$32 - Australians must be richer!

These r for exit row seats. Even if u have booked & paid u will not b allowed to sit there unless u meet the selection criteria; able to understand hostesses instructions, strong, not caring for kids,etc
