I am in Bkk now and current situation look's fine and under control at town area. The curfew is from 12am-4am and will end on Sat morning. But i not sure the gov will make another curfew.

Thanks for sharing the situation thr!
Hope u can keep updating and sharing with us...

which hotel bro? how many stars?

Ibis, 3 star...near Suan Lom Night Market.

Anyone knows how much budget is enough if i just wanna go shopping with my girlfriend? We're going to the cheaper areas like chatuchak, pratunam, and mbk mall. Is RM1k enough?

That 1K is only for shopping?

shopping and food actually...

How many days and night should the food last, does that include a romantic candle light dinner cruise on river or night club?

nah no romantic dinners dude... normal food. street food maybe breakfast at hotel. lunch at mbk, dinner something small. priority is just shopping. no club. sorry forgot to state... 3 D 2n

In that case, should be enough but no REAL designer and REAL branded stuff unless your gf shopping kaki.
Better also NO precious-stone/pearl/gold tours!

RM400 with 3 star hotel.. + return airticket! cheap!!

31 May now... LAST 2 DAYS for free seat to Bangkok. But the return flight I found minimum is RM78. Anyone get RM0 for return flight?
Anyone able to book the free room of AirAsiaGo promotion?

AA says only free flights to bangkok =) didnt say free flights for bangkok haha so mine also RM0+RM78

cant get free rooms =( anyone get it?

The new Suvarnabhumi Bangkok Airport Rail Link (SARL) in operation yet ?
I wonder Taxi at the airport takes 4 passengers in one taxi ?

1. Thai news is reporting that train open to public during test runs starting June 1 to Aug 2010 from BKK to Phayathai
2. Yes. 1 pax in front and 3 in rear. However NGV tanks in the trunk of taxi restrict luggage space so make sure you take this into consideration.

anyone know from airport to hotel near pratnum any BTS? if by cab need how much?

If airport link opens tomorrow as announced for test runs, then you take BKK->Phayathai. Your Pratunam hotel will probably be between this BTS station and Ratchathewi station (the next station). If you are cabbing it, then probably 200B-250B + 50B airport surcharge + tolls (around 70B)

hmm... so if cabbing means 370 bath per cab?

if take from the airport ... need buy to phayathai then can reach pratunam ? u know rougly how much is this?

we need to pay any airport tax before we leave thailand?

1. Yes. Maybe less, maybe more (traffic) but roughly thereabouts.
2. June 1-Aug 2010 (TIT so it means dates mean nothing) = trial period = free. However trial = not sure how long and how often trains run.
Phayathai is the terminus of the airlink.
3. Airport tax already included in airfare. Started 5 years ago; before, they collected 500B at exit.
