PosH Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 I will be in BKK on Nov 4th and stay there for a few days with my fiance and we thinking of checking all these places . Laos , Vietnam , Cambodia , Malaysia , Singapore , Myanma and Brunei . We both carry an American passport but I also do have Thai passport as well . I heard in some country would just let you in if you have a Thai passport or will cost a lot cheeper than carrying an American passport . So I don't really know what to use plus I don't really feel like carry 2 passports around . I do need some information about where to go , what to do , what to buy , where is the best hotel in town and where to eat ( a good food ) . I would love to know a few good restaurants in BKK as well . Somwhow we would love someone to drive us around in CM , Ko-rat and Cha-am . Where can I hire a driver that maybe has his own car or we even going to rent a car ourself . And if it's possible to drive to Cambodia , Laos and Vietnam ? If so what do we have to do ? Somehow both of us have been to all these places way back then and just a few hours for a business trip . But now we planing to take a couple of months off and really try everything there . We also would love to go to Sri lanka as well and maybe a few days trip to Bali ... PS. Where to get the best Custom-Made Suits in BKK ? Thank you for your help Edited : Do we have to get a visa to any of those places . I checked and they all said I have to get it all from here but you know how it is ... Some country will just let you have a visa when you get there ... Right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PosH Posted October 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 I just booked this " The One Hotel Angkor " in the heart of Siem Reap . Is there anything interesting to do around there ? Is Chi-va-som the best spa to go to in Thailand ? Where can we get the best massage in BKK ? We somehow have been to Hanoi for a month so now we would love to try something more different for Vietnam . Is there any nice resort to go to in Thailand ( North or East ) ? I used to go to Sukothai hotel for the best thai food ... Are they still best ? I need help booking a room at Jim Thompson's and Conrad in BKK . Can't think of anything now ... Any good advice ?

thaibel Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Hi, Posh .............. how r u? Long time, no sea. Well, I can't tell you much abt Thailand as u probably will know it better than me. I never been to Cambodja and I stay just for stop overs in both Singapore, KL (2 days). Myanmar is nice to visit. I think u need to apply for a visa before u go there. Yangon and Mandalay r worth to visit for the temples, pagoda's and forts. Don't forget to visit old PAGAN, an archaeological zone with abt 2000 old temples. Stay there for a few days adn hire a bicycle (expect to get at least 2 flat tyres a day). The people are really friendly and it could be that u are invited to drink some tea (happened to me anyway). Considering Laos I would recommend to go to Luang Brapang and Vang Vien (this is really a scenery place). I loved Hanoi in Vietnam (a very green town with lot of interesting things to see and to do) and I prefer it over Saigon (which is just another big citie). U can also take the train between both cities and there are some nice places (for instance Hoi Ann) to visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PosH Posted October 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Thank you ! Will check it all out ... For Myanmar , I went to Yangon as a student exchange before long time ago . Wasn't really happy about being there . But this time I would love to try all those beaches they have . Don't know if Nov is a good time to go . But it will be 50-40F here ... So I guess it will be warm enough for us ... Venus : I kinda like the idea of a small boutique hotel as I love bed and breakfast here ( in Maine or somewhere nice ) . But the boy doesn't really like it . Maybe I will try to put him up with it . Thank you ! Yellow : I guess I will be using my Thai passport then . Seem like a better ! Father : Thxs !! Yes , long time no see . I have been very busy with work and Mister Mason . Can't wait to get away from the city ! Will check everything out ...
