I am considering going to the Phi Phi Islands in late-April. I have recently heard that the area is thriving yet again and that the area has recoverd well post-tsunami. Anyone have any recent intel? Are there enough rooms re-built? How much damage did the reef's sustain?

I am also most interested to know if this is a Bring Your Own location? Would change the timing of my trip in order to ensure I had the time to find a nice companion to take with me.

I have searched this site, but have found no recent intel on the Phi Phi Islands. Any information would be most appreciated.

Hi guys,

I'll be in BKK from 17-20 Jan. Drop me a PM if anyone wants to head out for a drink and some "late-night shopping" during that period. I'll be staying around Chitlom, but expect to be visiting Nana, Soi Cowboy, etc during the period

Take the elevator to departures level and try to get a taxi that just dropped passengers and pay him only by the meter plus any highway tolls. Tolls are cheap anyway.

It works all the time for me. Even when taxis were located at the far end of the airport and not only in BKK.

If a stuborn policeman is nearby ask the taxi driver to offer him a 20 Baht tip.
It worked in the past too.

There is no HD broadcast in Thailand yet.

Duni is correct - no HD yet.

Games should be broadcasted on either ESPN and/or SuperSport (local cable network)...historically it will show live with 1 or 2 rebroadcasts.

Hi Everyone,

Long time lurker, first time post. I usually lurk in the Philippines area since my parents are from Manila, but I have minimal mongering experience there. I have just booked a last-minute trip to Bangkok to visit a college friend and for a vacation. I will be staying in the Sukhumvit area. I have been cramming for information on this board as much as possible. If any of you fellow mongers aren't too busy and want to grab a drink, and maybe show a newbie the ropes, please let me know. BTW, is there any place I can watch the NFL playoffs in HD? Thanks for all the great info!
