Tips for Thailand please

thatguy - I got my EOS 350d from the Canon refurb shop on ebay (http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Canon-Outlet). It was significantly cheaper than anywhere else.

Not really a acam but don t take a free tuk-tuk beacause it will take you double the time to get anywhere...they will normally take you to gold and silver showrooms as the driver gets commission. Just pay the fare!

And don t get into any card games.

If you're living life on the edge, you've got too much room.

hahahahahahahaha

well if you need any lessons on that camera... just let me know... just dont expect for me to not be jealous of you and your camera...

i am actually saving up for either the cannon rebel 400d xti

If you are going to the old airport from Sukumvitt road using normal route (not the tollway), you can see my name in allmost all the streets (Called soi's in Thai)

yo are not the first person complaining about the clock stamps on my photos. Now i have my new slr camera (hubby bought it for bday presents few days ago), you wont see anymore clock stamp with my new camera lol.

Make sure you go to Koh Samui. it is a different world up side down from the real world we live. much more cheeper and relaxing than Phuket.

novita

i only have one suggestion on your photos... go into the camera settings on your camera and turn off the clock hahahahahahahah

but i really do like the colors on the very first photo...

good pictures

Novita, I only know it as James Bond Island :P. I think Phi Phi is another one.

THat James Bonds Island it is call Phi Phi Island ... or Pha Nga Bay? Not sure now.

Nice pics Novita. In Bangkok, the Grand Palace is worth visiting, it may take 1/2 day. The floating Market and local wood carving shops are a must-see (there are organized tour packages done by the hotels). If you're going south, I recommend Phuket. From there you can go and visit the nearby islands (we went to James Bond Island..nothing very special about it but from it's name it is where one of 007's films were shot); and if you are there, book for the theme park shows, you'll enjoy it for sure. Have a nice holiday!

Having been to Jordan and Egypt this year I'm getting quite used to the con-artists, but I'll make sure I keep my guard up.

Here some examples for tourist scams in Thailand. There are loads of other with all sorts of version. I am not trying to scare you ... as far as you aware of it you would be fine.

We will defenitely going back to Thailand next time we are in that area (Far East).

just got time and bored killing time before school pick up so digging out my old piccies. Thais are friendly people generally ... but there are loads of con stories over there. Just beware and always be in your guards.

Tallg ... if you do watching the show on Siam Niramit ... come early. They have all sorts of thai cultural introductory before the show start. You can feed the elephant and see how the traditional food made in the special purpose made small version of thai village. Quite interesting...

Wow - thanks novita!!! I wasn't expecting photos as well!

For Bangkok ... make sure you visit the floating market and chatuchak market. Do the Chao Phraya River tour. If you have time try to see Siam Niramit Show in the huge auditorium (seat for 2000 people). Last time we were there if you pay with visa card you will get free dinner buffet thrown in.

Visit Wat Arun and the Grand Palace (beware with the conman trying to tell you that the palace close for praying and they said you should go and look around with Tuk Tuk to the temple nearby ... and somehow on the temple there is another guy / lady will approach you that they have precious stone to sell).

Visit Siam Paragon shopping mall ... on the basement there is a Siam Ocean World.

Make sure your hotel is nearby the Bangkok BTS system (monorail transport) ... it would be alot easier travelling around). We always stayed in Novotel Siam Square bangkok ... walking distance to the train station.
