Erm... I got a Bangkok trip in July. I dont understand Thai at all. Is communication there a problem? Last time when I go hatyai, I was like playing guitar to a cow, they don't understand what am I talking.

do you think it is wise to rent a car in bangkok?? i found a automatic vios at rm80/day which i can collect and return at the airport. the rate seems reasonable and i got a gps so i guess it will be fine to go around bangkok. problem is that the price of petrol is about double the price in Malaysia but willing to pay more for the freedom to move around bangkok.

ok, that was a crazy idea. tripadvisor never recommend renting a car cause taxi is cheap and all over city area. thanks for your suggestion. no car renting.

I will be going to Bangkok on 4th July for 9 days. I know 9 days is a little too much for Bangkok but gf suddenly change her mind so we will not be going to pattaya or anywhere outside Bangkok.
We plan to stay at pratunam area as It is one of the main area of Bangkok. But instead of spending full 9 days in pratunam, I'm wondering if there is any area we can stay and experience in Bangkok?
Instead of Shopping, visiting temple, massage, movies, watch boxing match, any ideas how to spend the 9 days ? If there is nothing much to do, I think I will just stay at hotel swimming, exercising and relaxing. LOL

*anyone stay at baiyoke sky hotel before? Personally think that it's freaking cool with a rooftop bar, golf range, great location yet below rm200 which is affordable.

GUYS!!!! I will be going to bangkok tomorrow and i still havent found a driver. i am thinking to hire one for half day or full day temples tour.
Anyone of you know any reliable taxi driver provides a cheap half day, one day tour?? I tried to call Mr.Deng & Mr. At suggested by one of the forumer but i got no respond. They offered a 3 temples + pratunam tour@ 800 baht and 400baht for one way airport transfer..

any ideas i can find a reliable drivers like them??
