Huh! Weather juz nice last week when I'm there..now raining already

I just arrived back from Krabi yesterday night.

Krabi started raining more than 24hrs straight since Jan 1. I left on Jan 2 and most roads already half flooded. Went past Hat Yai and alot of roads are single lane only and in some cases only can be passed by 4wd. The road from Hat Yai to Sadao can see traces of floodwaters and there are families living in tents along the main road.

So Miuk, How's your Garmin? can route to Krabi?

hi ,

I booked this hotel : V.L. Hatyai Hotel

anyone stayed before? Also is there any nearby bus station where i can get tickets to pak barra pier ?

Also i have booked this hotel : Hi-Season Hotel. Any reviews?

Still no idea whats wrong when using the map with nuvi 1300. When trying it on an older unit i have, nuvi 255w, the map works. I guess its some copy protection enabled that rejects the malfreemap.

Further experimenting with the nuvi 1300, once after the border in Thailand, I can route fine within any point in Thailand. Only when routing across boundaries will have issue. Looks like its only working with malsingmaps.

but I can help u to get the cheapest flight tkt to thailand ...
any date also can....airasia ....im giving away 10% discount ~

lucky for u bro
anyway, hatyai back to normal..
no more rains, but still surrounded with black clouds..
lots of shops still close, some are taking early precautions & most of the shop owner's home were affected by the floods..

~ still flooding in nakhon si thammarat, patthalung, pattani, yala & narathiwat (local news)

Anyone here got contact for transportation from malaysia border to hatyai?
How much per trip do they charge?

Guys, how do you book the leeplaza hotel? Online?
I can't seem to find the book button through their official website

Try agoda, booking.com, asiarroms & etc. Most of the time, booking via these 3rd parties discounted websites cheaper than directly deal wth the hotels (Well not all the time haha)

Just walk a bit from the Custom, you will notice many tut-tut and taxi by the road side waiting for customer. Tut-tut is RM15 from border to Hatyai.

Lee Garden you mean? You can email them or call them for reservation.

Tel: 66-7426-1111
Email: Rsvn.leeplaza@gmail.com

I stay there before. Room is spacey and clean.

What is the price can I expect?
Thanks, btw, for the info

take konsortium bus from pudu can already!

book online is a bit expensive than check it by ownself...the best is go thru "agent"

"agent" in hatyai can arrange anything for u...hotel,ahmoi,local hatyai trip,tiger show also got!

I've heard of getting hotel and massage vouchers from the local tour agencies. But I never knew they also provided girls.
