Hello! I am saving up for a long (at least 3 month) visit to Thailand June, 2016. I have very little experience traveling and have to admit I am a bit directionally challenged. I would really really really appreciate a helping hand! Crashing at a friend's place once I reach Thailand (for no more than 2 days) would help me a lot. This way I can collect myself, get food, and feel a little bit more secure. If anyone is living in Chiang Mai (or anywhere in Thailand at that) at this moment and will be there next year, or will be visiting next June, please let me know if you are willing to take me under your wing for a few days!
Also if anyone will be visiting Thailand next year and you currently live in the Chicago area,please message me! :) I assume a good amount of people will be in Thailand around this time next year because of the Thai Fruit Fest.
p.s if anyone has any useful tips about preparing for Thailand, I would love to hear them!
Thank you!!

this is kind of the costs i am estimating, travelling from sydney
flight about $650-750
accomodation about $440 (less if i find a travel buddy)
food... maybe $300-400?
so around 1500 based on that, so i will probably be prepared for atleast 2000 just incase
and also wanna buy a bike over there too but thats a seperate expense... if anyone has any info on cheaper flights or anything, lemme know
Good Day. Do you know what hotel we should be staying at?
i have seen people mention the mariner inn in chiang mai so thats what i am looking at right now
Accommodation will cost you about 3500-4000 bhat a week unless you wanna be fancy pants, food about the same, about $300 for a week so your have plenty of change out of $1500!!
ah yep, my calculationwas about $20 aud per day
So how much money would I need for say a week in Thailand?
I'm interested to know this as well! This is the first fruit fest I intend on attending this year (I hope to stay the full duration -I think that's three weeks?). More info about exact dates would be helpful. Advice on hotel selections, booking, and maybe even finding a travel partner would all be really helpful as well!
Good Evening,
If you find our more details (such as hotel) please email me Tamieka.Atkinson@yahoo.com.
I will be in Thailand in June and would love to participate, but I'm struggling to find more information such as lodging. (Flying out of the US btw)
Sounds like fun! I am sure you'll have a good time!
My best tips for Thailand would be:
*Travel light! Ideally less than 7 kg!
*Relax - it's very safe there and VERY easy to get around
*If you want the best Durian, get there in May and go to Chanthaburi and/or Koh Chang. Then go to the Thai fruit fest afterwards!
We have an ebook for sale about traveling to the tropics as a fruit eater, traveling light etc, there are some tips and tricks about Thailand in there as well. Like how to find and transport the best fruit! You can check it out here if you're interested! http://sweetnaturalliving.com/travel-ebook/
Have fun :)

I am hoping to go next year... i live like 2 hours from sydney, so if anyone else is in the area and wants to go, we should chat ;)
