Will the Thai New Year make it difficult to travel or book hotels?
My girlfriend and I are going to Thailand and Vietnam in April and coincidentally are arriving in Bangkok just before the Thai New Year. We had intended on spending a few days in the city before heading off for a short stay in Ko Samet before returning to Bangkok to fly to Hanoi. We have never been to Thailand before and would like to know if anyone has experience of travelling or arranging accommodation during this period that they could let us know.
Thanks!
YES!! There will be issues. I agree that Bkk will be quieter as far as traffic and accomodaions should not be a problem there. However, you have to realize that millions and millions of Thai will be leaving the city for the holday. Any means of public transport will be fully booked. If you have a reservation in Samet then the worst that could happen is that you will have to take a taxi to the ferry from Bkk which will likely cost 3000 baht or so - abt $100.
Agoda is good for booking hotels at a saving.
