traveling to thailand

i'll be in thailand in march 08 i land on the 8th of march and i'll only be there for 3 weeks but i intend on getting a lot done i'm actually doing a geckos grass root trip (i think it's called thailand in depth by geckos adventure travel i think they're australian) and then I have a few days to get back to bangkok from puket at my leisure. I'm doing a RTW ticket so i'll be off to europe after that....anyways just thought i'd let you know when i'll be there if you're interested Reply to this

Hi pat,

i'm actually doing a 15 day geckos tour then a few days of nothing planned at all i'll just need to get from phuket to bangkok at some point so i can catch my flight....heres the link http://www.geckosadventures.com/sth_east_asia/trip_overview.asp?trip=2700

i dont know if you guys would want to do a tour..i'm just doing one for safety reasons when i first get there cuz well i'll be by myself and my mum almost died when i told her i was going to travel the world all by my self! lol Reply to this

hey john, i've already booked actually so its garunteed right now...i bartered with my travel agent and got a few hundred dollars knocked off (in totall with the local fee it'll be about 1g for me) it is expensive but like i said earlier it was just to give my mother some kind of peice of mind that i wouldn't be wondering south east asia by myself....i'm taking this one cuz it was really encompassing a lot of the places i wanted to go and believe it or not was one of the most reasonable..... i will be flying in and our of bangkok..... sorry i called you pat earlier i got a bit confused with how this blog thing works! hahahahah anyways....the moral of my story is ya its works out to under 100 dolllars a day (i know thats still pricey) but it covers all the traveling (if your going to thailand by urself be careful with train tickets i've heard they can be tricky and sell you expired tickets then your obviously shit out of luck...)
and besides...i'm not quite sure how i'd get to stay with locals otherwise....my cousin did something similar to this trip and loved it! when are you leaving???? i really want to go to vietnam/laos andcambodia i'm so jealous! Reply to this

i'll have a few days to get from phuket back to bangkok and get any last minute sights i wanted to see in bangkok. I'm flying to London from Bangkok actually so maybe u can give me some ideas of where to go when i get to your mainland! haha ya i've been working like crazy trying to make as much money as possible

how long are you planning on being there? Reply to this

I'm off to Thailand In March too for just over 2 weeks (12th - 27th). It's all I can take off from work. My current plan is to spend a week in the north and a week in the south, most likely on Koh Pangang for the full moon party. Everyone I've spoken to says I have to go there! Reply to this

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble. Reply to this

this is exciting, so many ppl going to thailand in March! I'm a solo female traveling to thailand, arriving 3/18 and leaving 4/3. Just like others have said, I hope to see and do a lot. I don't have much "planned" as I want to be open to experience anything when I get there. Of course I'm arriving in Bangkok. Reply to this

We will be in Thailand from end of March till probably Mid may!!

Doing alot of islands in the south etc... (check out our journal) cant wait to meet some lovely traveller people to share experiences with!

Welcome to thailand..

I agree with Onn. I recommend PP Island, Lanta Island. If you land on Krabi and you can getting around small islands a lot of fun waiting you. Krabi Airport is very new !!! Reply to this
