Going to Thailand Friday!! Suggestions?? - Blu-ray Forum

garlad · 05-18-2009, 01:45 PM

Hi!

Heading to Thailand on Friday for 3 weeks... Cant wait! Flying in to Bangkok on the Saturday where we plan to stay for one night, before flying south the next morning (flight booked for the Sunday morning). Anyone ever stay in a hotel near Bangkok airport? (Suvarnabhumi) I was looking at the Novotel Airport Hotel - have a look!

And how about the rest of the island? Anything I HAVE to do/visit while I'm there??

Thanks!

yep that's on the west right? we plan too, but it might depend on the weather. we've been told that this time of year the east gets more sun!

Definitely try to get some authentic food by locals. Also, and I'm not sure how seasons work there as far as what's in-season, but try to get some fruit. Fruits from locations like Thailand are phenomenal — they're like candy they're so good.

garlad · 05-18-2009, 04:11 PM

sounds good brettallica! will check out the local fruit.. its gona be very warm still so i assume they will still be growing fruit.

Should I bring my laptop? Or too risky?

might just stick with the psp for web browsing

b0bby · 05-18-2009, 04:50 PM

totally forgot about fruits. here is a list of recommendations. i pay tons of money to buy these imported into the states and you will be able to pick them off trees for free.

Havent been myself but my dad goes quite alot.

He told me, stick with English speaking bars, go for a ride along the river (in main towns only)
Go see some Kickboxing.. and well you dont need to worry about the ladyboy's :P

Also stay clear if Tattoo shops.. they are really poorly done out there.
