Is there any site I can look for others that may be there at the same time, and have others to travel the island with. My wife and I will be at the Conrad June 15-21, 2014. We are planning on renting a car for the week at this point to see the island.
Any recommendations on reputable rental car companies, and excursions? (snorkel, elephant, etc.) Is the island pretty safe to drive from the beaches to Conrad in the evening if going out, as it looks like a good distance to go out to clubs/restaurants.
thanks for any help.
IMHO, island is quite safe to drive, there are not that many roads, very easy to navigate. As I said, I rented a car from mainland and used the ferry, so I can't recommend a car rental.
There is not that much to explore on the Island. You will find lots of farangs there, so I don't think you need to look for someone in advance. But you can try some expats forums - there are 2 that are quite popular.
