Keeley Member Surrey, UK	# Posted: 24 Jun 2006 13:15:01 Hiya everyone, I'm a 20 year old female from England travelling around Thailand in August with a friend. I've got a book, but any suggestions where to go, or where not to go? Or if anyone else is out there and wants to meet for a drink or anything? Drop me a line: keeley_webb@hotmail.com. Oooh Thailand!! Cheers, Keeley

Dannii Member United Kingdom (Great Britain)	# Posted: 11 Jul 2006 17:13:26 Ah lucky you! Superly jealous , would soo love to return to Thailand this year! ( Ive recently returned from touring South -East Asia, Australia and New Zealand). Our fist stop was BKK ( soo many ppl give it such a negative name! Dont listen ... Its a city with nuggets of beauty in the form of The Grand Palace , Wat Po and Chatachuk Market ) Jump on a Tuk- Tuk ( You are putting your life in your own hands but its fab and a great way of experiencing such a different , surreal culture!) . Always approach them and make sure you settle a price or make sure the metre has been cleared . You can get one for about 40B ( 50P)... remember to say Kapun- kaaa ( Thank you) heh. Jump on the ferry / barge with the monks and if you plan to visit the palace , cover up your ankles , shoulders ect. Thanon Khoa San in the Banglumphu district is a must - stop ,being an institution in itself. Try and stay at the D&D Inn ( It has a swimming pool on the roof and is more like a 5* hotel than a hostel!) or Sawasdee Banglumphu Inn. Visit the FCO website beforehand ( Foreign Common- wealth Office ) for latests updates of thailand and their culture. We headed down to Patong , Phuket ... I wouldn't advise it as it felt very much like blackpool! ... but definatley , definatley head to Krabi!! Beautiful , relaxed little settlement with cute bars ( Including Charlie's with Katun the bar waitor! .... Drink 'Timebombs all night for £7!). From the town you can nab a longtail boat ( a great experience in its self) to Railey Beach, Monkey Island ect or a ferry to Koh Phi Phi - Remember your deet spray though! Have an absoultely amazing time chick and if you find this helpful dont hesitate to ask more ... I could jibba about the 'land of smiles' alll day ... dannii x
