Just returned from vietnam (6 weeks) In Hanoi I always stay @ tirant hotel in old quarter,$60 a nite ,but good rooms, good breakfast, wi-fi free, can leave luggage if you want to go 2-3 day trip, close to hoan kiem (not sure spelling) lake, 30 minute daily walk around lake, to meet the locals, friendly, helpfull staff, & you can safely book tours anywhere from travel desk, this joint has it covered when considering language barriers, shonky operaters, plus it's walking distance to BIA-HOI-HANOI beer bars.

As for hoi-an, this year I stayed @ pho-hoi resort, just over the bridge, $40 AUS per nite,good breakfast, pool, Wi-Fi, short walk to centre/ market area, good motorbike hire directly across the road.Also most rooms have riverviews, good location.

Hope info was helpfull, cheers.songhklasid.

Yes , I think it's the coup thailand had to have, the politicians cant seem to meet or discuss any issue.

I've just booked my next trip, nov-dec,probably be an election, & another coup by then, seriously I hope this is a step in the right direction, for all parties to sit back & comtemplate the seriousness & gravity of the situation, & move forward with a joint workable agreement representing all elements of thai society, FOR KING AND COUNTRY ! CHOCK DEE !

I've had the same AIS (1-2 call) phone # for 10 years or more, I return to thailand every 6 months or so, just put credit on your phone, preferably @ a online store in 200-500 baht amounts before you depart thailand, ( my seperate thai phone with simcard remains off whilst in AUS ) I hope this answers your question.

regards S.S. I just came back from thailand this month, phone credit is good till jan 15.

I would rate orient @ the bottom ( limited destinations) then air asia, their complex booking system online, pay for everything, nok air my favourite for value, convenience, thai smile good if you can get a deal, What about thai lion air ? i haven't had the pleasure, can anyone share their thoughts.

regards S.S.

WHere did you stay, idea's for reasonable hotel preferably with swim pool in yasathon.

I changed mine @ don muang, nok air office,

cheers S.S.

Yes you can, but by the time you change, you might as well have paid the extra & flown thai or nok premium which i think you can change, I remember last year i changed a flight date UBP -BKK with nok eco , cost me 700 baht.

cheers S.S.

the website is VisasDirectCustomerCare, I just downloaded the application form & dealt with local post office,you can apply single entry, or multiple entry visa, which is dearer.

I've just come back from vietnam, I find the best way to get visa, download the application form, attach 1 passport size photo, money order for cost of visa & passport,post to embassy in sydney, with self addressed envelope, (registered mail ) takes upto 1 week. No problem for thai citizen, 1 month on arrival.

cheers

Thankyou for that, I'll tell her move her butt down to ubon, & get things happening.

cheers S.S.

It is true about passport offices,I want to take g/f to vietnam for holiday, at the intended departure date she will have only 3 months valid on passport,vietnam require 6 months, she applied at ubon office, then got a phone call, cannot do, money, passport refunded,she has to telephone tomorrow, hopefully she can renew,time is getting short, (1 month)

regards songhklasid.

My G/F is having problems renewing her passport @ ubon office, I am led to believe it has to do with current protests against the present government ?I was looking to take her to vietnam for holiday but she only has 3 months valid passport, we'll be over & back in 12 days (leaving march 25) hope everything improves.
