[Monsoon Starting Yet?]

Hi all -

I'm trying to decide weather to go to Koh Samui / Koh Tao for some diving and dive courses for some friends. But I would like to know if the rains have started yet and destroyed the "visibility". If anyone knows, or knows where I could get that info, please speak up!

Thanks!

[Film Labs In Chang Mai]

Hello -

I know this is a bit off topic for this category but thought there might be some photo buffs in techworld.

Does anyone know of a professional lab for processing slide film in Chang Mai? I know there are good ones in Bangkok, but was hoping there might be something up north?

Thanks

[Hotel recommendations near airport?]

Hey seykota -

Thanks!  That may be perfect as it looks like I will be hitting the airport and flying to koh samui as soon as I can.  It's almost double of my place in town but will make up for it in taxis and hassle.

Thanks!  - Ren

[Macs in thailland?]

By any chance does anyone know of a Cybercafe that has a Mac with high-speed connection in Bangkok, Koh Samui or Chang Mai?  My computer-phobic wife is having problems using a PC on a slow line somewhere in BKK.

Thanks!

I hope my memory is faulty, but I'm sure I was sorely ripped!

Thanks for Suk Road info, I'll check it out.

We'll be basing in Thailand, probably Chang Mai or Rai and traveling in and out to Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos etc. so we just have multiple entry visa with 2 month stays max.

Thanks!

[Hotel recommendations near airport?]

Hello -

I will be arriving in Thailand in early October to start a year in SE Asia, mostly in Thailand.  Does anyone have a recommedation for a CHEAP (800-1200 Bhat or less?) Hotel near the airport?  I may have to lay over a day while I try to locate my family who will be somewhere in the country when I arrive.  When I was last there in 1988 the cost for a taxi at night from the airport to Kao San Road area was US $ 80.  Is this still true or is there a cheaper way to go now?

Thanks!
