A collection of links related to Thailand

Links related to Thailand and travel

I am gettin a fair amount of requests for reciprocal links. Many of the requests comes from people with gambling and game websites, or other subjects not in any way related to Thailand. While I am happy to make links to good and relevant sites, I do not even remotely consider any else. So please do not bother to ask unless your site is Thailand related and has some good and relevant content.

Also, links in my list here are NOT FOR SALE! Not for money or services or anything. But I am happy to recieve suggestions for links, and I also do NOT ask for links back - although off course such are always appreciated:-)

Please mail me if you have a suggestion, I will have a look and include

Thailand travel info

http://www.track-of-the-tiger.com is a company that works together with local people, including hilltribes. They include rather than just use, and have gained respect for their business model throughout South East Asia. A number of prizes in ecotourism has been collected after many years of hard work and substantial investments. I put this link first because they can ( I have tested myself, not only read about it) set you up with the best options in northern Thailand (where I live). Real "ad" text this, but the link is direct with no tracing/report back to my URL, no commission tricks from my selected links.

http://www.seatguru.com/ It is a long way to fly, for most of us. The first link on this page is therefore to Seatguru, a site that offers information on good and bad places to sit in many different airplanes. Useful!

http://www.thaivisa.com/ Extensive info on visa's and related issues. Also a very popular forum with many Thai related subjects. Possibly the best site for Thailand visa information.

http://www.tourismthailand.org/ The Tourism Authority of Thailand web offers information on destinations and special events, amongst many other things.

http://www.lonelyplanet.com/ Frequently updated web on travels to Thailand and worldwide. One of the best.

http://www.samuraimc.com/ A Norwegian MC club that offers guided motorbike tours.

http://www.thailandpage.com/ is a site with many links to websites sorted by destination within Thailand.

I have put up a page with a list of direct links to the homepages of golf courses on my web, so that you can access these without the nonsense of endless booking services go-between's. Easier to compare rates and conditions that way, I hope.

Transport in Thailand

http://www.thailandrailway.com/httpEng/ Train schedules, prices and lists of available seats.

http://www.orient-express.com/ The luxury train that travels between Northern Thailand and Malaysia. First Class only.

http://www.thaiair.com/ Thai Airways International. Many domestic flights. Online booking. Business Class on domestic flights available for a modest charge. Also destinations worldwide, and the airline is part of the Star Alliance.

http://www.nokair.com/ Nok Air is Thai Airways' domestic budget carrier. Callcenter 1318, online booking. Business Class available for a modest charge, but in the 737's they operate it is still not much legroom.

http://www.airasia.com/ Air Asia is another budget airline. They fly domestic in Thailand and to Malaysia and some other destinations in the region. Online booking.

http://www.bangkokair.com/ Bangkok Air have domestic flights and flights to Cambodia, Kina, Singapore, Laos, Myanmar (Burma) and Vietnam. They own the Kho Samui airport and have monopoly on flights there.

http://www.orient-thai.com/ Orient Thai Airlines have a low price offer under the name of "One to Go". Callcenter 1126. Some flights offers an old fashion business class for a modest charge.

http://www.nationmultimedia.com/ The Nation, one of the two major English language newspapers in Thailand.

http://www.chiangmai-mail.com/ Local English language newspaper for Chiang Mai.

For business / trade

http://www.norcham.com/ The Norwegian Chamber of Commerce in Thailand.

http://www.boi.go.th/ Thailand's Board of Investment's web contains useful information related to starting and running a business. This is a very good web that anyone doing business in Thailand should have a look at.

http://www.thaipro.com is a search page with a great many listings on Thailand.

http://www.executiveplanet.com/ is a site with useful information for both business and holday travelers. Topics such as "business dress", "making appointments" and "acceptable public conduct" are covered.

http://www.spraakservice.net/ is a Norwegian company that offers professional translation services, and they have a long list of languages that they can handle. (something for me?). In adition to Thai they also have the hilltribe language Hmong on the list!

Good and reliable (in my opinion) people and businesses

http://www.actsco.org Acts Co. is an American (US) printing business located in Chiang Mai. First class organisation and equipment, friendly and polite service. A good choice if you need anything printed in Thailand. English spoken very well by staff.

http://www.northwheels.com/ is mentioned in the "Chiang Mai" section as well, but I like them enough to want to mention them here also. For me and others I know, this company is something as rare as a honest car rental. For one, they do not keep your passport. Cars are well maintained and clean, and they have a 24 hours on-the-road assistance program, and more. Sounds like an ad, nevermind, they deserve the business they get. I do not put paid-for links here, ever.

Bangkok

http://www.bts.co.th/ Bangkok Transit System - the Skytrain.

http://www.khaosanroad.com/ A web for Khao Sarn Road in Banglamphoo, Bangkok.

http://www.bkkmetro.com/ Metro Magazine, what's on in the big city.

http://www.2bangkok.com/ Information on gem scams, and pictures of old Bangkok.

http://www.stickmanbangkok.com/ The Stickman runs one of the by far most popular websites on nightlife in Bangkok, but the site also contains much more. It is one of the rare cases where all information is original - and thrustworthy. If you consider anything from a night on the town to moving and working in Thailand I highly recommend you take a look. The readers submitions should not be overlooked.

http://www.davetheravebangkok.com/ Dave the Rave runs a site on Bangkok nightlife - very male oriented here - but that like the Stickman site it contains solid information. Appart from the 3X factor there are lots of useful advice from someone who has "been there, done that" that should be of interest to anyone venturing out in the Big Mango after dark.

http://www.chiangmaimall.com/ A little bit on everything.

http://www.northwheels.com/ One of the best car rentals in town.
