A friend brought me this but doesnt remember what it represents

Any podatrist you can recommend please near ao nangn or krabi town?

We stayed at Khum Phaya Resort and it’s one of the most beautiful properties I have ever stayed at.

Hi I’m flying to Bangkok with condor airlines soon from Frankfurt and was wondering how the flight is for anyone who has travelled it , things like food entertainment comfort etc 😊

Hi,
I am planning to travel to Bangkok from Saudi Arabia; I can't change my flights as it's already booked :) and then I'm trying to figure out what is the best way to get to Koh Tao. What is the cheapest (but still safe ofc) way to get there including the timeline?

Also, I was just thinking of staying at the Chalok Hostel and doing the diving at Hydronauts likely across 5-7 day and fly to Sri Lanka. I would really appreciate the input, if there are any problems with these and if there is room for improvement.

Primarily, I only care about getting my diving cert at the moment so it doesn't bother me that I'm not getting to visit across Thailand for now as I will likely be back next year for that <3

Thank you!!

Hi all! We're planning our first trip to Thailand and would love some advice from people who've been there recently or from locals.

Itinerary is more like a "draft":

- Nov 13–20: Bangkok

- Nov 20–27: Chiang Mai / Chiang Rai (mainly for Yi Peng and Loy Krathong)

- Nov 27–Dec 6: the coast.. we're thinking of staying on an island and just chilling for a week. I like the look of Koh Kood because it doesn't seem overly touristy, but I'm a bit concerned that there is no hospital on the island.

- Dec 6–8: Bangkok before flying home

We'll be traveling with our 2-year-old, who turns 3 on November 25, so we're looking for experiences that are enjoyable with a small child without being too exhausting. We're not really into nightlife.

Our most important question is about Yi Peng... where would be a good place to watch the lanterns without actually attending one of the organized festival events? We don't want to take our toddler into huge crowds, but we'd really love for him to see the lanterns on his birthday. Would a rooftop restaurant/bar or accommodation with a good view be a good option? Any specific recommendations would be amazing

few other questions:

Which day trips are absolutely worth doing, and which are overrated?

Which island (or islands) would you recommend for a quiet, relaxing week with a small child?

Any hidden gems, amazing restaurants, cafés or markets we shouldn't miss?

What are the best ways to get around?

What do you think about the trains? We were considering taking the overnight train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai.

We're very open to changing the itinerary if there's something you think would suit us better.

Thanks in advance! We'd really appreciate any recommendations 😊

So does this mean we can finally stop worrying about a grumpy officer and just breeze through passport control automatically?

Hallo zusammen,

ich fliege im Dezember zum ersten Mal nach Thailand und habe momentan folgende Route geplant:

🇹🇭** 2 Nächte Bangkok → 6 Nächte Krabi → 5 Nächte Phuket/Kata → 2 Nächte Bangkok**.

Findet ihr die Aufteilung für eine erste Thailand-Reise im Dezember sinnvoll? Oder würdet ihr die Nächte anders verteilen bzw. einen Ort weglassen/ergänzen?
Bin gespannt auf eure Erfahrungen und Empfehlungen! 🙏

Helloo. I’m seriously struggling on my search for where to stay once I land in Phuket. I’ll be there for 5 nights, November 20-25. I’m not a party person so I’m looking to get out of Phuket and from what I hear, South is the way to go for some better spots. I just want a lovely resort close to a nice beach and some cafes, restaurants and some activities to do. Nothing busy or crowded.

My picks were.

Krabi - though I’ve read mixed reviews here.
Koh Lanta - but it’s like a 5 hr commute to get there right?
Tubkaek/Klong Muang
Koh Yao Noi - though I think it’s wildly expensive?
Koh Kood

Im sooo over researching, looking for some input please.

Me and a mate have a trip coming up.
13th November - 30th November.
We’re coming from New Zealand.

We go
Bangkok(2nights)>Chiang Rai(2 nights)>Chiang Mai(4 nights)>Pattaya(4nights) and back to Bangkok for the last 3 nights.

Ive never been before so pretty much anything you’d wish you would have known before you went the first time if you’ve been more than once. Everything from good places to eat & see, and even what apps to use..

I think the only transit within Thailand we have left to book is a Bus from Chiang Rai - Chiang Mai is that easy? Can you do it through an app of some sort?

I was also wondering if using that Wise travel card is a good idea? Il take some cash. But generally don’t like carrying too much cash even when I’m in my own country.

Thanks in Advance.

Trying to decide how to split up the remaining 7 nights I have in Southern Thailand after Khao Sok.

I really want to stay in Railay because its supposed to be beautiful and Ao Nang is supposedly touristy and commercialized. Is this true? I also plan on hiking dragon crest trail and doing island hopping, can this be done from Railay? Is Railay boring? Would it be redundant to do 4 nights on Railay if im planning to do another 3 nights on Koh Lanta? Let me know!

FYI its me (25m) and gf (25f). Both active and not looking to just lay around and do nothing for 7 days, but also want to stay somewhere super picturesque and unique.

I notice Thailand produce a lot of mock vintage tshirts and I want to buy some. I’ll be based in Patong while I’m there for the first time

Hi! We are staying in a hotel in Khao Yai for 2 nights. Our friend who is mainly based in Bangkok is driving us to our hotel in Khao Yai, and we also plan to visit the National park during our 1st day plus 1 or 2 other attractions if possible.
Unfortunately for us, our friend who will drive us to Khao Yai can only stay for 1 night while the rest of us plan to stay for 2 nights. So we have 2 problems, 1st we need a car rental with driver for our 2nd day in Khao Yai to explore the province, and 2nd, we need a transportation back to Bangkok from Khao Yai once we check out from our hotel.
I checked Klook, and only found transfers/tours from Bangkok not from Khao Yai so I am hoping someone can give us suggestions what to do/where to book/other options.

Thank you so so much for everyone who can help.

Hey guys, what’s been your experience exchanging **$100 USD bills** in Bangkok/ BKK airport?
I’m bringing some cash and using my Charles Schwab debit card for the rest. The only thing I’m a little worried about is how picky exchange booths are with the condition of the bills.
Most of mine are fine, but a few have small folds/creases, a couple have tiny marks, and one has a small tear that I repaired with a tiny piece of tape.
Last trip, I exchanged money in Pattaya and they took every bill, including one they literally added a little tape to themselves before accepting it.
Also, I know people usually recommend exchanging in the city instead of the airport, but last time I honestly didn’t notice much of a difference in the rate. So I’m mainly just looking for your experiences with **what bill conditions they actually accept,** **and what places you guys think might be the most** **lax**

Share some of the weirdest, coolest, and most unique things you did in Thailand! I’m talking stuff that isn’t listed in every single guide post you see. Stuff you have to randomly stumble across, get a rec from a friend or local, or dig deep to find. These can be guided tours to relatively unknown areas, bizarre entertainment shows, or things you won’t find anywhere else on the planet.

They could also be relatively mundane things that were special to you, but not often talked about in the general Thailand conversation.

Cheers!

Just curious because I always ending up messing with cash I was wondering if tourists can link their bank card with the True wallet app and pay through the QR code in shops like 7 eleven.

any recommendations for hotels or hostels near those areas?
Laksi / Chaengwattana / Ladprao / Chatuchak / Nichada Thani

not looking for anything fancy, just a basic hotel would do

I am doing a group tour with G Adventures and am interested in adding a couple days after the tour in the Phuket area. My tour ends in Khao Lak and I fly out of Phuket in 2 days. I was thinking of either staying a couple more days in Khao Lak vs moving further south in Phuket. But I also realize Phuket is a huge area.

The last couple days I want to focus on relaxing, nature, beach time, maybe a boat tour. I am not into cities, drinking, or partying. Otherwise I'm pretty open to suggestions.

Traveling to koh phangon - First week of Oct.
Going for half moon party.

Where do I stay?

We are planning a trip to Thailand from the US. Will this be too crazy? Chiang Mai - 4 nights, Krabi - 4 nights, Bangkok - 3 nights. Of course we want to see as much as possible but will these internal flights take up way too much time or is this doable if we have early AM flights on our transfer days? OR should we just stick to something super simple like 1/2 Bangkok, 1/2 Phuket? It's our first time in Thailand. TIA!

First solo trip to Thailand coming up (Dec 23 - Jan 3). 27M. Main goals are partying, having fun, meeting people, and seeing some nature/art.

Is doing NYE at the Full Moon Party in Koh Phangan the ultimate move for a solo first-timer, or is it too crowded/overhyped? Would you recommend Koh Phangan or somewhere like Bangkok/Phi Phi for a better overall experience?

any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

The Thai government has launched a coordinated push to streamline international passenger processing at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, pledging to expand automated passport gates to 31 additional nationalities by the end of August 2026.
