Note: This topic is for posting travel information and tourism websites only, not for discussions!

Off-topic or argumentative posts will be removed without notice. Also, to keep posts to a minimum, general travel questions (like what's the best hotel in an area, what's the best way to get from A to B, booking questions, etc), should be done as NEW topics in the Travel forum, not replies to this thread. This topic is for posting travel information and tourism websites that members have discovered ONLY.

The purpose of this thread is to help present on one (or more) pages websites relevant to traveling and tourism in Thailand. We've organized it according to the local forums we've already got setup. Please add your suggestions!! If accepted, they will be moved to the first page and your post will be then hidden from view. And of course we'll give honorable mention to all those who contribute, just like we've done in this topic:

Please report broken links!!!

How about websites such as:

www.ensogo.com

www.thaicitydeals.com

www.groupon.co.th

These sites have deals for hotels as well as restaurants in many areas of Thailand.

I would add that Agoda.com get me the best deals for hotels. Also, Whitecardasia.com is good for discounts around Bangkok.

How do you know whitecardasia is good, it does not even exist yet.

From the website 'we launch very soon'.

For anything about durian in Thailand (where to buy, different varieties, festivals, seasons, etc) stop by www.yearofthedurian.com

What to Pack for Your Trip to Thailand
Pack light! You don’t need much. I have dozens of friends who have lived out of one backpack for 6 months, and keep in mind that I moved to Asia for a year and a half trip with only two bags. Keep in mind that Thailand is a tropical country where you rarely need any cold-weather clothing or jackets. Laundry is very cheap and you can purchase anything you need over here, so pack less than you think you will need.

If you want to visit Thai temples (wats) you should bring one pair of lightweight long pants (and women need to cover their shoulders and arms).

There are 7/11’s on every street corner where you can get snacks, basic toiletries and household items. Tesco Lotus is a good chain to find cheap food and household items, and there are plenty of inexpensive, fairly good-quality clothes to be found among the street vendors at Khao San Road, Chatuchak weekend market, and the innumerable street markets that crop up all over Bangkok.

Don’t forget to barter! It’s a way of life in Thailand. This won’t work for food most of the time, or in nicer hotels, department stores, etc. But if you’re buying goods on the street, ask their price and then start your counter offer at half what they quoted you.

Provide basic necessities .

Thailand is the best one affordable travel place for couples.

I found this especific website about places in Nakhon Sawan Province (http://nakhonsawanplaces.com)

Beachmeter --> Island & Beaches of Thailand and beyond (interviews, galleries, features, destinations, insights).

http://reddit.com/r/thailandnews is using the Reddit forum platform but not used as such, it's only daily links for travellers and a little bit of news articles. Lot's of unknown, suprising, inspiring or interesting links added everyday, and a informative sidebar.

I love to travel by boat, it can make me fun and relax with my close friend. I've chartered boat with friends in the Andaman Sea for diving to see ecology under the sea. First of all of my trip, I have plan to travel by boat and then I have contact for charter boat with Asia Marine.
