Recommended Destinations
Thailand offers one of if not the most diverse range of holiday options in a single country. Whether you are looking for a tranquil getaway in a secluded jungle area, a bubbling and fresh nightlife or the exhilaration of extreme sports such as rock climbing, scuba diving and abseiling, Thailand has it all. Here are just a few examples of the destinations that AD&T is able to line up for your once-in-a-lifetime experience:
Bangkok
Thailand's bustling capital city and home to over 10 million people, Bangkok is one of the most exotic and yet accessible tourist destinations worldwide. With excellent transport services, a very wide range of accommodation options, enough shopping for even the most retail crazy credit card jockey and a world-renouned foreigner-friendly atmosphere, you will be hard pressed to have anything other than an excellent time in Bangkok.
Getting to Bangkok from the airport is easy and cheap, with official meter taxis costing the equivalent of USD20 or less. Getting around is just as easy, there is an extensive light rail linking all the major city areas as well as thousands of meter taxis to travel longer distances, tuk-tuks for medium distances and, for the more sturdy in constitution, motorbike taxis which can zip between short hops far faster than the traffic would otherwise allow.
Whatever your budget, Bangkok can provide accommodation to suit. Whether you are looking for the most luxurious of hotels for honeymooners or executive couples or the most frugal of lodges for globe-wandering backpackers, you will find a place to suit. Services are excellent, as the locals are more than happy to oblige when it comes to helping out visitors to this exotic and modern city.
When it comes to food, Bangkok will not disappoint. Food from all over the world are available here, and whatever your taste and budget you will be able to find a place to stop, relax and refuel.

Pattaya
The world famous holiday resort located on the eastern coastline of Thailand's exotic Gulf of Siam, is approximately 90 miles (145 km) south of the capital city of Bangkok. Pattaya is AD&T's home city, and we would love to welcome you to our office for a cold drink out of the sun. Travel time from from Suvarnabhumi international airport ranges from 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on type of transport.
One-way fare by taxi is about ฿1,200 - ฿1,600. If you're on a tight budget, take the VIP air-conditioned bus for ฿130. Maps of Pattaya are available at the travel outlets in the airport, or from the many tourist information centers in Pattaya itself.
Once you've arrived in Pattaya, getting around is easy and cheap. The common form of transport is the songtaew, or "Baht bus", a converted pick-up truck with a covered back and seats to accommodate about 10 persons. The fare within the city area is an amazing ฿10 - ฿20! These "buses" are plentiful and operate 24-hours a day. You never have to wait more than a minute or two for the next one to come along. Rental cars, jeeps and motorcycles of all styles are also available for the more adventurous. Prices are very reasonable.
Pattaya offers a vast range of accommodations to fit any wallet. Just let us know your budget or preferences and we will take care of the rest.
