my parents cant fly, i want them to visit me in Phuket,Thailand. They live in Ireland, how can i get them here

my parents cant fly, i want them to visit me in Phuket,Thailand. They live in Ireland, how can i get them here
I live in Phuket and have not seen my parents in nearly 4 years, due to work restrictions I dont have the time to visit them back in Ireland. Both of them will not fly anywhere so I am finding it hard to get them on a holiday to Phuket. They have agreed to come if they dont have to fly Is there a possible and safe way they can get to Phuket Thailand by Bus, train, boat, hovercraft, cruise ship......whatever without using wings and altitude. Your help would be most appreciated

a train is a really good way to go. and they get to see the country as well.
2 :
yeah they could take a boat, just do a search on yahoo for it.
3 :
I m sure there is way to get there mixing all kind of transportation stated. But it will take to much money and time, if they leave now, they will probably get there in a long time. Are they afraid of flying, i know a few airline company have programs for fear, like Air France if i recall
4 :
if they have no wings;just kiddin. if they wont fly.going by land is gonna be difficult. seems the only way possible would be by sea. i sure would'nt want to ship that far. yuk!.i dont like getting too high either.they want to go there?

I am sure there is a way - but it will take a very, very long time and a lot of money. It will involve a lot of trains and/or ship and buses. They should talk to their local travel agent about it. I imagine it means taking the train across Europe then through parts of Russia and China. Then bus down south through the Golden triangle region. Or take a cruise ship through the Mediterranean and then come through the middle east and India and Bangladesh by bus or train. (not sure if they can come through Myanmar) Regardless, the land route is not as safe as plane because they will have to travel through some very lonely and isolated roads. You need to make them realise that. There may be cruise ship that will come to Gulf of Siam from India but they will have to travel only at certain time. What you are asking is possible but It will cost a lot of money!!!

Hi Make sure you have the correct visa as you only get a 30 days visa on arrival Moneywise just budget the same as you would in your home city and some spending money and then you should be ok Better to have money left at the end of the trip than to run out half way Its not that cheap to be in Thailand as people make out You can do it of course but as a tourist you are not wantimg to be miserable and sat around doing nothing all day and you will be tempted to spend Maybe go for the 30 days and have a better time A month is a long time and you can do so much and you dont have to worry about visas that way
2 :
This so much depends on your style and itinerary. Do you plan to stay in one area or travel all over Thailand. Minimum you need 1500 baht a day but if you had 4000 baht a day you could do everything you want to do. Check out sawadee.com for what to see and do - gives information on transport, timetables. Check out agoda.com and hotelscombined.com for hotel accomadation that is cheaper than hostel or guesthouse. also check out hostelworld and hostelbookers. for cheap internal flights in Thailand check out airasia.com. Please add addional information on your itenary then people on this site will give you the information require.

if you want some cheap hotel.u can live at khao san road .there have many guest house for you to choose and quite busy at night to shop .about 200 to 800 baht or more per night and you can also negotiate with them like how much per week and so on .. GOOD LUCK
4 :
If you make an effort to live cheaply, for example eat from markets/street vendors, basic Thai restaurants, etc and stay in average accommodation, 500-1,000 Baht per day should cover you. If you will be staying in the same accommodation for a prolonged period (for example more than two weeks) then you may be able to make a deal with the hotel/guest house and receive a discount. If you are confident riding a motor cycle, then this is a efficient way to travel around town, as its cheap and effective. You might want to check out Agonda.com for a wide range of hotels across Thailand and Asia at discounted rates. For a good time, try to budget 2-3,000 Baht a day, although things can be made very cheaply in Thailand if necessary.

If you have an Indonesian passport...yes you do..... For Thai passport this is on a visa waiver program so dont need a visa for a tourist visit
2 :
It's doesn't matter where you are. It's the country you hold a passport with. Remember that in the future. And yes you do need a visa. Indonesia Embassy is just down the street from Pantip.

Where in Hat Patong, Thailand, would I be able to watch live Stanley Cup hockey games

Where in Hat Patong, Thailand, would I be able to watch live Stanley Cup hockey games?

Only TV station showing the game in Thailand will be on ASN, True Vision Platinum package channel 108. Unless you can find a sports bar open that showing this channel or some other satellite hookup.
2 :
If nothing local is convenient to you you can also pull up some website links. Google will give you some suggestions that claim to be free live showing of the finals. This works when you enter "where can I watch the Stanley Cup hockey games live on web" or similar phrases. You can pull up some of the local TV websites for Boston and Vancouver and see if they are streaming live again.
3 :
The bars in Bangla road will surely broadcast the game. Don't know if they stay open for it!
