At nite i would recommend you fill it with clubs because the malls and shops close very early in Bkk. If ur gf won't mind then go for "shows" or visit the red light district

Fill evening and nite visit river cruise and Chinatown for sharkfin and bird nest. Not very excellent but since ur there and give it a try.

A visit to skybar (not if ur on tight budget) baiyoke sky tower (revolving deck).

thanks... skybar, my gf keep talk about it.. i think might go there since nothin better to do at night time laugh.gif

If you have extra money and never see before the wax figures, then you can consider Madame Tussauds in Siam Discovery.

yeah~ you are right! I just went back from Bangkok.

There are 2 buildings for Platinum Fashion Mall.
One with food court upstairs and the other one with MCD downstairs.
The 2 buildings are just besides each other. rclxms.gif

The Pratunum is located at another corner (the traffic light) with opposite of Platinum Fashion Mall. I didnt visit this place because it looks like very very old and darker inside  laugh.gif
*
i not interested in wax figure... i more interested in real human organ museum, but my friend say there quite tricky to go there. another problem is i not sure my gf will DARE to go in or not ....

because there got a serial rapist killed and his full body organ being displayed in the museum.

hmmm........ not i waiting for accorhotel to promo 3 nights=2 night price.... wait for almost 1 year already... dont have promo on that date of travel sad.gif

just booked Citin Prathunam from Agoda

being stupid booking at there already doh.gif

a bit expensive than Citin Prathunam website.....


sweat.gif

but the Agoda website quite tricky ...they did not stated the final price (incl tax)

they just stated

Room RM 113 (per night)
Tax RM 24

but after u made the payment.... the Tax calculated on per night .....

mean if u stay 3 nights

u need to add up like this

room - RM 113 x 3 = RM 339
tax- RM 24 x 3 = RM 72
Final Price (room + tax) = RM 411

i found that if the hotel website got early bird promo, it is a bit cheaper .... difference about rm10-50
