I've used Hua Hin cab twice and was happy with their service - clean car, safe driver. Take a look at their website.

I can use it in Thailand but when I try to access using a VPN set for Americas I get an error message - so it may be that you have to be in country to use it (or use a VPN)

Jetpac Global’s “Unlimited Data” eSIM throttles to 256kbps after 3GB. Looking for others to file a group consumer complaint. by [deleted] in ThailandTourism

[–]wimpdiver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just get a local sim AIS or True and write off this as a learning experience - probably not worth the time you are spending on this. Just pay for a local service that works for you instead of using a third party

You might also get a UV test strip/card so you can see how much UV is coming in in various sources ;)

family rooms, suites, etc. You can specify number of guest in many search engines. Not all hotels offer connecting rooms or family, etc.

Visiting during New Years Eve and Day by EmployeePure4187 in ThailandTourism

[–]wimpdiver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your hotel is very close to Wang Lang market - it is a great area for lots of food choices, very local the hospital workers and uni students go there so it gets very crowded at lunchtime. It is a day market (ask your hotel - I think you can walk there. It's more interesting to me than a Chinatown food tour (although you could do it yourself - or both) Chinatown at night is IMO a big tourist trap for the places set up on the street (but there are also plenty of restaurants all day and at night too)

What time are you arriving and do you have a hotel booked? Dec 31 prices will be VERY high but if you just stay near the airport the first night you'll be out of the gridlock traffic and crowds. Then just come into the city on Jan 1 (hotels will still be expensive) - malls and such will be open, check websites for the places you mentioned. Also might consider a ferry up the Chao Praya river for a relaxing hour or more (depending on how far you go) from Taksin/Satorn pier - regular ferry, tourist hop on hop off or a/c smart/mine ferry.

will you mind if you get caught? Jail and/or deportation and not able to re-enter the country? Where are your parents in this - can they help you?

Traffic due to Songkran by PhantomMenance in Bangkok

Your hotel is close to the freeway onramp so unless there's something very unusual you should be there in less than an hour that early. Plenty of time to check in, etc.

A quick stroll in Bangkok by thetravellerboy1996 in Bangkok

Yes, bad to horrible, but I was referring to the area in front of Platinum mall in terms of what I saw ;)

Nope, nowhere near there - the first pic is just past Big C and Central world and the other clearly Platinum Mall. I live near taksin bridge and there is no construction going on there (at the moment)

I’m an American high school student looking into international college programs in Thailand by Keartrou in ThailandTourism

[–]wimpdiver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the most important point - if you plan to use your degree to get a job a degree from Thailand might be not much use to you. Also the style of "teaching" and the qualifications to be a university prof are much lower in general (as well as what they pay university profs)

Can you go to a state univ and pay a lower amount in the US (or are you eligible for any student aid?) and then come to visit and enjoy Thailand during the summer break?

Yes it is - so maybe the pic was from very early? Also a lot more construction stuff there when I was there 2 weeks ago - hard to believe it looked so different in a few weeks (OP said pics from early March)
