[OSGeo-Conf] FOSS4G 2018 - Questions for Bangkok

[nitin kumar tripathi]

Feedback from Bangkok Team

We will arrange airport pickup and drop at very reasonable cost.

We have chosen Jomtien Beach Hotel Ambassador due to many factors:

1. Frequent transport available from all airports in Bangkok and Pattaya to
the conference hotel location
2. No traffic jams
3. Away in a very exciting atmosphere on the beach
4. Self contained big hotel complex - very safe
5. Famous Tourist place Pattaya (10-15 minutes away) has free shuttle from
hotel every 30 minutes and local taxi easily available
6. 4 Star Hotel but rooms at 2 star price as the hotel is having 4000+ rooms
7. Many function/ meeting rooms
