Thank you! I will grab some books, I've been reading lots of blogs and information pages.
Yes, I was planning on starting in Bangkok, travelling up to Chiang Mai, Laos, Cambodia and then would love to get down to phuket to travel the Islands back up to Bangkok to come home.
I need to read into the Visas abit more though.
It's just knowing where to start looking!

It is always useful to remind people...many just look at the cheapest and easiest option (if you are staying in KSR area anyway).
My 'best memory of the KSR bus was many years ago.The bus driver got into a dispute with a taxi driver over where to park.They both got out of their respective vehicle to continue the argument.
Suddenly the taxi driver took off vertically and landed a flying kick on the bus driver,who was knocked out cold.No trip to Chiang Mai that night!

Rent by the month if you have a base for 2-3 months.Save a lot.
In Chiang Mai,a poor room,a fan,no AC,no TV,goes for $15/night X 30 days=$450 a month
Studio,AC,TV,Tile floors,Bathroom,small kitchen,real nice..1 month=$170 a month.
Cheaper the longer you stay.
Same in all countries.Especially India.

Thank you, that's great. (Do they really need a guarantor?). We are 10hrs bus ride/ bus+plane from Ankara so I think we have left to late to do now without serious stress, though. Annoying really but heard a friend will be in Chiang Mai in January pretty much as our exemption runs out. Will see what we can do.

Dominic is survived by his beautiful wife Jenna in Houston Texas. Knew him for about 14 years, frequent visitor to Chiang Mai and Thailand his favorite country for travel. He allegedly picked up a virus while on a birding expedition in Panama, a place he always regarded as a birder's paradise.

#43 not me. Relations who had return tickets but more than 30 days out. Had a mad scramble to change flights. We have tickets home this trip but from KL end of October. Have no idea what made Terminal Services change their minds at check in.

Hunting, fishing and foraging are widely practiced in rural communities across the whole of Thailand, and naturally (pun intended) it is very different to what you might have practiced in the west.
By example: Scroll through this Facebook group's page and you'll find plenty examples of hunting, foraging and fishing รวมพลคนเกษตรพอเพียง
Fishing is hugely popular in Thailand and you'll find people fishing most lakes or rivers, but if you want to experience the best fishing you probably need to…

My husband and I are stopping in Pai for about three days in the middle of our three-week Thailand excursion. Between exploring temples in Bangkok, exploring Chiang Mai, and tanning in the islands, we want to rough-it a bit in Pai and have some relaxing fun with fellow backpackers. Would love some advice on the following:
1. Where is the best area to stay, knowing that we don't want to be kept up all night, but we also want some excitement/nightlife (looking for a short walk or moped ride).
2…

I'm not sure but by the time you leave the airport it will probably be around 22.30 and you'll probably have to go to mo Chit (or Victory monument, though I heard minivans are no longer allowed to run from there but I'm not sure) so you'll likely struggle to find a bus or van to Phayuhakhiri that late. However, an overnight bus departing around midnight bound for Lampang/Chiang Mai/Chiang Rai etc. might take you and drop you off there but you won't arrive before 2.30 or 3am.

Try going down the street the next left turn after Buddy Lodge there is a quite area of guesthouses down there. Also you can go beyond Tanao road to the next main road there is a low key area around there. A few kilometers away At Sri Ayuthaya rd there are guesthouses such as Sawatdee guesthouses and others - this is not new area , its been around as long as the KSR scene. Also from KSR you can try the area closer to the river - where the old Apple Guesthouse used to be.
There is no new KSR…
