Popular Post Yesitisdakid Posted September 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2020 Just arrived in Phuket town on a bus from Chiang Rai 28 1/2 hours was the journey. There were two different buses a direct bus that would have done the trip in around 20 hours and the Intercity bus the one I chose that took the longer time because it went through every little town you could imagine dropping off people picking up people. You might think I took that one because it must be less expensive but in actuality it was the same price. I could have flown for about 1/2 the price I paid on the bus but I never would have gotten to see all the interesting little towns. After extensive train and bus travel I have gotten to like buses better here in Thailand. Only question is where do I go next 12 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karon steve Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 If you travel from Phuket to Trang you will know when you enter Trang province as the countryside changes a lot in both appearance and feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post code_slayer_bkk Posted September 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2020 Get to Pak Bara and take a boat to Koi Lipe .... there is a Walking Street there also .... and if you time you visit right you can stay at my house on the sea .... Then go to Langkawi ... for a couple of days .. no passport hassle Just about everyplace in the deep South on the Adaman Sea side of Thailand is beautiful ... plus, the people are a different species from BKK or Patts ..they always smile and would do anything to help you .. for sure! 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post code_slayer_bkk Posted September 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2020 Another side note ...Beach gals family lives not far from Pak Bara .. on the sea ... great people ... I was a confirmed bachelor it seems like forever ... she won my heart ... no drama, never a harsh word ,, no lies or bullshit ... she is an honest gal with a great heart .... I met her on the beach in Koi Lipe with her younger sister and her older brother .... I thought she was absolutely beautiful ( but, young ... around 18 at the time ) .. so I walked up and started talking to her .... I guess that turned out ok .... A very good girl with a wild f**ker ... we have a beautiful daughter and have been together a long time ..... maybe now 16 - 17 years ... but, it was hard for me to take the leap of faith with her and get married .. about 10 years later ... she hung in there and never gave up ... very cool .. and I am 100% guilty of some wild shit She has put balance in my life ... she is beautiful ... So .. keep your eye out ..you may find something good 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggles Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 " I could have flown for about 1/2 the price I paid on the bus but I never would have gotten to see all the interesting little towns" When I first came to Thailand as a tourist around 1998 I spent 2 months travelling by public transport, mainly bus. Covered the western and northern parts up to Chiang Mai and Chang Rai. Down thru the centre to Bangkok. Returned the next year and covered the North east, Eadt and South. I met up with a friend and his GF in Pattaya...... and it was all downhill from there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So ... I worked out something with the hospital I was going to in Vietnam to install the software remotely ... and set up a couple of video sessions to teach them ... everyone involved was cool The beaches in Vietnam .. all of them I have been to are pretty good ... same with the food ... plus, the woman act shy ... but, they aren't at all ... never any problems ...

biggles Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 For anyone who likes beaches I would recommend Nga Trang, Viernam. This is how a beach resort should be, clean water, no boats or hawkers. A 2km long treed park with toilets/showers. Google it, you wont be sorry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
