Best way to log onto the site when a country restricts (like Thailand) is to use an end point VPN. This creates a secure tunnel back to the VPN end point. I use two in North America.

The first is GoToMyPC. Leave your PC on at home and then log in with your laptop from Thailand. They offer a free 30 day trial, so that should take care of you. Just set it up and test before departing. I have used for over 2 years without a hitch.

Second way is to sign up for a VPN service like HotSpotNPN or PublicVPN. These work about 70% of the times. Some hotels have their networks set to restrict these VPN's. HotSpot offers an upgraded product called HotSpotVPN2 that is rock solid ($10.88/month). VPN2 blasts past all hotel settings without problems.

Hope that helps.....

You should have no problem accessing this forum from Thailand. It was blocked at one time but since we changed servers the IP is now different and we get past the Thai blocks. We also have a proxy server ATS members can use free of charge. Just PM Stogie Bear and ask for an account on the proxy.

You don't need a good travel agent. You can do these bookings on the fly anywhere in 5 minutes.

However, if you want a starting point, go down Soi 4 (Nana street) until you see the first street that goes left. On that corner is an agent I use all the time. Her name is Mayuree and she is wonderful. Always perfectly done, and she'll either give you the best price or tell you to book it yourself online if the price is lower. She's that honest.

U-Tapao airport which is a short traffic free trip from Pattaya is a good way to get from Pattaya to Phuket.  It was far superior than the long trip to Don Muang.

But since the new airport is closer to Pattaya that opens up lots more possibilties that are cheaper than Bangkok Air which flys out of U-Tapao.


Mim, a travel agent in Pattaya, has done lots of things way above and beyond the call of duty for me so i like booking through her and HIGHLY recommend her.

You might be having a great time in Phuket and want to extend or you might want to get back to BKK or Pattaya sooner.  If so just call Mim and she can handle the change easily for you.

I totally agree. It sounds as if you are going to bypass Bangkok completely. Some people call the bars in Nana shitholes but I don't get there very often and I get a huge kick out of them. Walk through the doors of Cascades and there is 20 different intense emotions going through you. How cool is that. Even the weird shit is intense. You just gotta love it.

With 4 weeks for your first trip, I would start out in BKK for jsut a few days and go to the ladyboy bars at NEP and the new one on Soi 1 if it's open.

Then go to Pattaya. Get a feel for Pattaya. See how much you like it.

Then go to Phuket.

Then return to either Bangkok or Pattaya depending on what you've discovered you like.

Have fun!

On Nok Air first class is only 500 baht extra and besides a bigger seat gets you a free snack and a more generous baggage allowance.

Book your Phuket Hotel early cause you are going at the highest of the high season.
