Heaps of quiet places to stay on Phangan. Do some research on Bottle Beach, Coral Beach, Chalok Lum all in the north, Than Sadet in the central east and my favourite location in all Thailand, the interconnected trio of Had Thian/Had Yuan/Had Wai Nam in the south east. All would be good for a keen mountain biker - Coral Beach and Chalok Lum would offer the best access to sealed roads and the west and south coasts. The others involve mostly unsealed roads, many with killer slopes. You can…

I'm looking to do a one day trek in Northern Thailand in July and will probably be visiting Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Pai but wondered if anyone had an idea where is the best place to do it. Any reccommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks.

same vibe, more friendly locals, maybe a bit cheaper....better bungalow security

dreaming?

Pha Yam?

Not to worry! The tsunami crowds have subsided! Things are back to normal!

The famous Maya Bay in Ko Phi Phi Lay has been closed to visitors over the rainy season in an attempt to allow the coral / environment to recover. It was due to re-open about now, however the decision has been taken to keep it closed 'until further notice'.

Hi there,

From Mid November (post coming from Koh Phang Nah after FMP) me and my mate will be heading west...

I have 8 nights to split between Krabi (Ao Nang), Phi Phi and Phuket

My original plan was 2 in Krabi and 3 each in the other two.

However, i've heard that Phuket isnt great and accom hard to come by on phi phi.

Looking for a mix of scenery and party

What would everyone suggest?

Thanks
Dan

Hello :)

New to the forum and this is my first post! From what I've read (quite a bit) you've all been a great help to fellow travelers, so hopefully you can help me out on this one.

My girl and me are staying in phuket for 1 night after we fly in on the 31st of july. We fly in, in the evening and wanna take the boat the next day, preferably straight to Railey beach, but if this isn't an option, to Phi Phi and stay there for a while and then go to Railey Beach.

So the question is: Can we get…

Thanks for the help.

One final question.

We are going to stay at Tanamas House on Nai Yang Beach. Is there somewhere there we can buy tickets for the ferry to Phi Phi for the next morning? We arrive in Phuket at 7.30pm so wont get to the hotel til maybe 8.30-9. Can we buy ferry tickets and still get picked up at 7am the next morning for the 8.30 ferry?

Thanks,
David
