What is the best way to get to town area (ie. Pratunam) from Don Muang Airport? Is it accessible via Airport Rail Link?

it seems only transport will be taxi.
If wanna budget, it will be take taxi to mochit station, its 14km away from don muang.
Then switch to BTS to Pratunam.

Sigh. I miss Suvarnabhumi
Any idea how much it costs then?

-edited-
Would you guys recommend taking a train to Hua Lamphong > Metro to Phetchaburi (intercharge) > Ratchapraprop?

Can actually cab to Mochit then phayathai change into airport rail to ratchaprapop.

But why wanna carry your luggage around and change lines.

Taxi in bkk is really cheap. Can consider spending more for convenient sake. Able to arrive hotel earlier and less tiring

You mean the Chao Phraya express boat? The cheapest way to tour the river is by taking the public express boat. You also get to mingle with the locals!

BTS Skytrain (Mochit Station) is about 3 mins away but MRT (Kamphaeng Phet) stops right INSIDE the market.

Overpriced for me...

What kind of criteria? Just a place to sleep or do you need stuff like swimming pool, etc?

For the fastest mode to chatuchak market,

depends you are nearer to which line. Sukhumvit BTS line is more common areas of normally tourist stay.

juz a place to sleep
but must be clean , not too old
must nearby mrt or bts station
now ecotel hotel caught my eyes , just nearby makkasan station , walking distant to platinum mall

Do consider Tango vibrant Living Place?

This is a budget boutique hotel situated in Pratunam area.
3 mins walk to pratunam wholesale market, 6 mins to Platinum Mall.

4 mins walk to Rachaprapop Airport link station, you just take one station to Phaya thai then switch to BTS (Sukhumvit Line)

I stayed here during March 2012, its around RM75++ include breakkie.

Another one is just opposite which is PR Living Place.

You can try U Baan Guesthouse. Very cheap and basic but very clean hostel. 5 mins walk to Wong Wian Yai BTS station. Away from all the busyness and tourist. 3 7-Eleven nearby and lots of food nearby. I've stayed there and I loved it.

Hi all,

I am trying to book my stay at Shangri-la Bangkok. May I know what is the best way to get cheaper room rates? Is it the cheapest if we book through their website online?

Thanks a lot

You never heard of discounted booking websites such as agoda, asiarooms and even Thai booking site - sawaddee? Google them.. all also very reliable

Seriously no cos I do not travel much. Thanks. Appreciate your personal take on which is best. Do they offer substantial discount?

Just compare pricing-lah.. Which one the best depending on further discount & sales on each sites.. just like u shop for Te4sco, Giant & Carrefour... Discount normally from 50-70% from rack rate

Hello all,
I'm going to BKK with a friend in 20-25 oct 2012 via AA. Main purpose is shopping & sight seeing. I know AA will land in Don Muang. I think Don Muang is at Sukhumvit area right? I'm looking for hotel nearby that area & near BTS. Short listed 2 hotels:
- On8 Sukhimvit
- legacy express Bangkok

As long as the hotels are near BTS then should be fine right? Are these 2 hotels ok? Any feedback?

Also, the JJ market only open in morning till afternoon on weekend? If I go around 5pm onwards, still open or not? Cos I'm scared very hot.

Anyone can recommend authentic Thai foods restaurants in bangkok?

Preferably accessible by BTS/MRT or within walking distance from train stations.

Reasonably priced too.

Hi all. I have a question. How do you take a taxi in BKK? Tell driver your destination first or just hop on the taxi THEN tell him your destination? I always tell my destination first then they will give me a price, without using the meter. Maybe I got all the expensive taxi because of the way I approached? Advices?

Thanks in advance.

the new airport is located north side.. if i m not mistaken.

i think 5pm, JJ market almost to closing d. Better go earlier, coz u need atleast 4hours to complete the whole area.

So far didnt encounter got scammed by taxi.

a few times, i try not to take a cab but in BKK taxi is cheap. Furthermore its convenient if in hurry or trying to save time.
