bignok Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Whats a good monthly rental for 10,000 baht? White sands or Klong Prao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat is a type of crazy Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I am going in August. Do you have comments on good taxis at a good price to and from Bangkok. I assume the main ferry is the only one and the other has not come back. Some good deals on hotels now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White sands or Klong Prao You should be able to get A large one room bungalow for that, don't expect it on a beach though, from my understanding Klong Prao is cheaper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I am normally on a shorter holiday I am staying at hotels with buffet breakfast etc to keep the girlfriend happy but for a long term stay Blue Lagoon on Klong Prou and Little Eden on Lonely Beach are fun. Both in natural settings but maybe a bit basic for longer stays. There is a few similar ones on Lonely Beach. The Op might know. I have seen Kacha in White Sand Beach lately as low as $37 a night and that includes a buffet breakfast with two nice pools right on White Sand Beach with a night market there at night. It's now $50 but it goes up and down. Australian dollars. Edited June 28, 2023 by Fat is a type of crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Meter' taxi from airport should be around 3k+ direct to your hotel. Top secret the other one 'Center Point' is back, and can get a one month return, no queuing only one lady working ticket office Trat side, and she SMILES this side drive straight on pay other side, Very limited service for now, only 4 ferries each way a day, last time i used it only 6 cars on board. Be warned they leave ON TIME> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bignok Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 "September is part of the rainy season with an average precipitation of 440mm (17.3 inches). There are generally around 22 rainy days. You will hardly see any sun, with only 55 hours of sunshine during the entire month."

Popular Post worgeordie Posted June 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2023 This is what happens on ASEANNOW when you try to offer help to people, forecasting the weather is not easy ,what the weather was like last April , may not be the same next April, "So where's all the valuable information that you have to pass on as a result of your long experience? Thanks for your time." Edited 1 hour ago by Liverpool Lou completely uncalled for ,but cannot expect much more from you , he's offering help , you only criticize,. regards Worgeordie 2 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowtail Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 What would be a good place to stay for a couple weeks in mid-late July? What would I have to spend for a decent place? I'd do a drive down with wife and 20 year old son. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
