Thanks TG[/QUOTE]Driving around the island would take you around 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on traffic. You should stop off at the old North Shore town to grab some shaved ice and some local grinds. It is kind of a tourist town. Checking out the beaches and sights is pretty much what you would be doing. If you want to go snorkeling, Hanauma Bay Beach (highly recommended) is a great fish reserve where you can swim with and check out the fishes (on land and in the water, hahaha).

Make sure to spell it with two Os if you have to write it anywhere... Honolulu.
As for driving, I would start by going around the east side (Hanauma Bay, blowhole, Sandy Beach, Makapuu, Wamanalo, etc.) then continue on Kamehameha Highway all the way to the North Shore (Haleiwa town). Then come back through the Pineapple fields and Dole Cannery before hitting Scholffield Barracks. Then on through via H2 til you hit H1. That won't get you everywhere, but certainly is the best drive you can take. Budget six hours for the whole thing with a stop in Haleiwa for lunch and Dole for a pineapple soft serve cone.

[QUOTE=Travel Guy]Way back in 1967 I was in the Navy and when we stoped In HNL on the way to S.P. it seems that all the action was on a street called Hotel. Is that true?
What is going on in that area now.
[/QUOTE]
Yeah, Hotel St. is just 2 blocks makai (south) of what is now "Long's", where the street action currently is located downtown. I remember Hotel St. in the early '80 when it was still a public thoroughfare. Picture in your mind up to 100 streetwalkers or more when the fleet was in, and maybe around 60 on a normal weekend. The two blocks towards the canal was TV/TS territory, and you would not believe how many of them there were. Club Hubba Hubba used to bring in girls from the mainland, and a few used to board on location. The entire zone was insane on a busy weekend. Pimps, hookers, drug users and dealers, vice squad, johns, spectators, cruisers--everybody got into the act.

Thai BAHT
Sup fellas,
60.00 THB = 1.82315 USD
Thailand Baht United States Dollars
1 THB = 0.0303858 USD 1 USD = 32.9101 THB
So, let me get this straight; 1 US dollar equals 60 thai baht? I got this info from the world currency exchange money rate website.
Or is it $1.80 (One dollar and eighty cents) for 60 baht?
Anybody got any 411 on the cost of food/drinks there? Is the water drinkable???

Hinode,
For 1 USD, you get 60 baht.
If you are selling baht for USD, 60 baht would give you $1.80.

It means 1USD equals 32.9 Baht, which means when you spend 1000 for overnight for a bar girl, you would have spent a little more than $30.

Unfortunately, that system would be impossible. Under that system, everyone would exchange dollars for baht and then immediately exchange that same amount of baht for dollars, gaining an instant 80 percent profit.

Thai Baht
Man, this got messed up! The exchange rate is simple:
1.00 US Dollars = 32.8513 Baht
30.00 US Dollars = 985.59 Baht (About 1,000 baht)
The reason 1,000 baht is important to remember is it's the standard building block for ST and LT rates. ST (Short time rates = 2-3 hours) and LT (Long Time Rates = Overnight). The ST rates are 1,000 to 2,000 Baht in general, although some girls ask for 3,000 Baht. The LT rates are 2,000 to 3,000 Baht, although again, some girls may ask for 4,000 Baht.
The rates vary based on looks and venue. Hot Girl, Hyatt Night Club BKK, and you will hear them ask for 4,000 Baht easy. You can negotiate! If the girl likes you, you can get away with less.
On average, you will be able to have a very good time for 1,000 to 3,000 baht. This includes freelancers and the famous Soapies.
You will always get about 5% less on the exchange back into Dollars. Let's face it, the Exchange places are in it to make money.

Not sure what kind of girls you like, but I think Thai girls are more brown or darker. I kind of like the white "milky" skin, so I opt for China.
Anyone planning to go? My friend and I are going, maybe in July. Anyone want to go too. The more the merrier. Drop me a PM.

Dan,
Actually, with Thailand, you get the best of all worlds. There are many that have Chinese blood.
