bkk to samui one way looks like ~$100 on either thai or bangkok air, the only airlines that fly direct there. Gotta get to pha ngan from samui though (assuming you want to go to the pha ngan full moon party, which you should), that's probably an extra $10 or $20 each way. getting to places that either nok or air asia fly will be way cheaper, but they have limited destinations.

keep in mind that the flight is probably around 2 hours, plus airport and transportation time on each end.

yeh the full moon party is on 14th oct so we're gonna try and make our way down for that...getting to bkk on the 3rd so will try and do all the sightseeing and cultural stuff in between...whats the weather like there at the moment?

great, thanks for the info guys...really appreciate it!

anybody going to diplo/boy 8-bit at oaf tomorrow night?

pretty pumped for it should be a great night.

spewing that i missed out on tix, saw him @ metro coupla years ago was an awesome night..im sure friday will be even better!

buses are surprisingly reasonable as far as time/cost between major tourist areas. you can get to the islands (koh tao, pha-ngan) from bkk for like $20, takes about 8 hours (overnight). pajillions of people sell tickets, but shop around for prices and watch your shit on the bus.

ok cool, thanx man..dont think id be keen for an 8 hour bus trip, but will consider buses for shorter trips..How much are domestic flights for example? say from bkk to the islands? cheers!

Don't ever go to royal tailors on sukhumvhit road, material is inferior and the post sales service is even worse. Got back home and wanted to order matching jackets for the trousers and the price suddenly jumped 3 times.

ok thanks for the heads up...

what about nightlife and travel activities/arrangements away from bkk..

any rec's on where to go and do and where not to??

Hi guys,

I’ll be heading to Thailand with a group of friends in about 2 weeks. Have been reading through this thread and have gotten some good info already, but seeking some more specific info so I would appreciate(+) any help.

1st question is weather. What’s the weather conditions like at the moment over there? hehe

Bangkok

Tailors: ive read on this thread include Toms International, Crown and Rajowonse. The impression I get is that they are all around the Sukhumvit district, so they should be sufficient. Any other shopping recs that Thailand/bkk is reputable for?

Nightlife: Some of you guys have mentioned club 808 and Route 66. Cant seem to work out whether these are both good or one is bad or what hehe. Any recs on what other clubs would be worth checking out, music policies/styles, location, links to the clubs etc?

Ink: Also looking to get some ink done. Where are the good tattooists/piercing parlours and locations in bkk?

Activities:

We’re planning to travel outside from bkk also and head down to the islands and full moon party, usual tourist stuff but in between that, do u guys have any recommendations on where to go to book cheap/reasonably priced tourist activities and trips? We’ll be in Thailand for 2 weeks so I assume flights would be necessary to save travel time or are other methods of transport bus etc just as efficient to get to certain places?

Hope this all makes sense and thanks in advance for any assistance, cheers guys!!!

Hey guys, my friends and I are heading over to Thailand in October. Planning to do the usual tourist things, check out the islands, and try and get some shopping, as well as sufu recommended stuff etc done also, so I will need to read through this thread and get a better idea of things a little closer to then.

I've heard though, that it will be monsoon season during that time. Just wanted to get an idea as to how bad it can get weatherwise and how much, it may affect my overall holiday or not? it can't be that bad right? hehe

most of the gear looks nice, will definately check em out when they drop...

thanx 4 the heads up

price range? theres this cool leather jacket by arvust at GP. but it cost 300 ..

cool thanks, that seems to be within my budget. I'll have to drop by GP this weekend and have a look.

well i cant afford anything at assin or those of similar price range, but lets say something around $500 as a starting point. Is that enough these days for a decent leather jacket?

Hi guys, Im in search of a decent black leather jacket for the winter and need some help. Ive checked the other sufu threads and they seem to have alot of useful info on styles of leathers and various brands but not easily attainable locally. I havent ventured out to check the sydney stores recently but plan on doing so this weekend. So Im wondering if any of you had any recommendations; is there anything stocked in sydney worth checking out? like at incu or otherwise/any good finds at the markets possibly? as i would like to try it on before I buy. Otherwise, is my only option to search online/abroad?

im open to all suggestions, and any advice would be appreciated...

cheers
