Re: Hatyai,Thailand For Sawadee Newbies
 

bro , where is this new sakura located at ?
i dont speak thai , so when reach airport , tell the tu tu car ( bike taxi ) what ah ?

how much is fare ?

Re: Hatyai,Thailand For Sawadee Newbies
 

u dun really need to speak thai in Haadyai, almost every 1 understands Hokkien or Mandarin. Just tell the tuk tuks exactly where u need to go and pronounce it right and they will know it. Airport > Haadyai usually cost 300-400 baht if ur lucky else they will try 400-600 baht. Tuk tuk will prob cost 200-400 baht max.

Re: Hatyai,Thailand For Sawadee Newbies
 

There is taxi counter at the airport..... tell them which hotel u going to, pay them and they will write u a voucher with the taxi number...... go outside the door to board your taxi...... do not approach the touts milling outside the door..... always buy from the airport counter...... not expensive only 280 baht from airport to hatyai (was 2006 price maybe have increase by a little now but still should not be more than 400 baht)...... taxi is aircon saloon car so why want to suffer in tuk tuk.

Re: Hatyai,Thailand For Sawadee Newbies
 

Beside the old Sakura on the adjacent street....... the 2 Sakuras form an L shape looking from bird's eye view... :D

Re: Hatyai,Thailand For Sawadee Newbies

Re: Hatyai,Thailand For Sawadee Newbies

New to the site. Clear leave and book a ticket to Hatyai leaving 14 Dec 2010. Anybody I can tag along or meet up. Have not book any hotel. Will get it at airport

You need to read the forum or else you'll be spending a lot of $ unnecessarily!

Re: Hatyai,Thailand For Sawadee Newbies
 

I recommend u book it online or ask the taxi to bring u to one of the numerous travel agency to book hotel rooms, u can save up to 20 RM per room per night. Remember to not book any girls from them cause they will get a commission of at least 30-80 RM per girl. Keep his number just in case. If ur going to the chicken farm, make sure u go earlier so that u will have more choices.
Chanivet has younger girls while See Kim Yong has more matured girls.
