Stayed at Angkhang Nature Resort - Chiang Mai, Thailand.
|
Walking to Royal Agricultural Station is easy. Gardens filled with food crops, fruit trees, nice displays of annual flowers, some open greenhouses with useful signs in English & Thai. Resort is 2-3 hours by road from CEI or CNX. Cost to get there by car from CNX or CEI about Baht 600 to 1000. Would be nice to see more offerings in PRINTED form, ie. bike rental fees, TIMES for horse rides etc.

Easy reach to any area under the BTS system as the hotel is right at one of the stations!! MBK is a good location for shopping and "C'est Boon" French restaurant is a good value!!

Firstly, after a long flight we decided to treat ourselves and take a limo to the hotel from the airport avoiding the hassle of finding a taxi, these are more comfortable than the ordinary taxis but they charge you 5 times the going rate and we wouldnt use them again, taxis are plentiful and easy to negotiate with. The night bazaar was excellent and well worth a visit, my wife is egyptian and used to bartering and we found the first price they give you is normally around 5 times what they will sell things for, when bartering dont be affraid to go low with your opening offer.
We spent 3 days in Bang Kok and 11 in Koh samui and found that over all the cost of things were way cheaper on the island, maybe only to be expected but unless its essential if you are travelling on wait til you get to the less cosmopolitan areas
All in all a great place and we would go back again

Directly accross the street from the hotel is Buddy's Internet shop; very handy and reasonably priced. And in the Central Plaza (right next to the hotel) is a great cafe on the top floor (4) which has a menu offerring food from about 6 different countries. I ate there on a number of occasions. They had great tacos!

Stayed at Rachamankha - Chiang Mai, Thailand.
|
We visited a few main temples in the old town, it is easy to walk around, not too busy. We went on an elephant safari at an elephant camp, which was a memorable experience, & very good value. The night bazaars are also a must, we bought lots of handicrafts and ate at the local cafes. We will definitely visit Chiang Mai again.

Tropical gardens near the hotel on Highway 3 is a terrific visit and value. For family or just one adult, well done and well maintained. A great introduction to Thailand and its environment.

Stayed at Woodlands Hotel & Resort - Pattaya, Thailand.
|
Pattaya is a seaside resort with two characters. Shopping daytime and beach. Nightime it shows it's sleazy side with girlie
bars etc. Jomtien(South) and Wongamat(North)
beaches are best. Pattaya beach is inclined to
be dirty.

Generally, taxis are convenient and not expensive. But MUST ask to go by meter only. As for river ferries, use the public ones that work like buses and cost only 10B and have an interval of about 10min. Compare that to a private river taxi operator who offered 400B for two persons to the same destination! Had a lot of fun bargaining at the markets, only to realise that some MBK shops offer lower prices to start with. For example, an imitation bag starts at 1250 and was bargained to 200 with great satisfaction, then MBK shop sells it at 199! Also, street food is 20B and drinks are 10B usually. MBK restaurants are a mere 10-20B more and you get cleaner food in bigger variety and portions, plus cooler environment. No wonder most of the locals eat at the malls! Cinema tix cost 100B normal but we went for the Gold Class ones that cost 500B each and provided free drinks, blankets, pillow and socks! Remember to grab an official map free at the airport cos it's the best map you'll find. Information kiosks in the city streets also offer free tranlation booklets. Pick one up for fun.

Stayed at Peninsula Bangkok - Bangkok, Thailand.

We enjoyed all the normal touristy things to do in Bangkok...temples, Royal Palace, etc. One excellent restaurant that is highly recommended for exquisite Thai cuisine is Baan Khanitha, in downtown Bangkok.
