Hmm juz wondering ... the 1st post is about 1 year ago and the quoted message is like 7 years ago .. is the information still updated ???

Guys .. want to ask about SIM card. Any good prepaid SIM card with data? I was there last month and was using DTAC .. the speed is just Edge even in Siam area. Not very impressing.

Did u get 3G speed with the free internet ? All I'm getting is Edge only ... cannot do anything else besides whatsapp

Especially Sukhumvit road ... if you're going far ... ask the driver to take the damn high way and pay 50 bath ... better than stuck in the traffic

If you using iphone/ipad i strongly suggest city maps 2 go ... it's offline samo What i like best is it even has thai language and even works outside bangkok ... i went to Ayutthaya (old capital of thailand) and the tourist places is written in thai and english .. frigin awesome

edit: juz read back ur post .. u wanna PRINT ? Forget it la lol . bangkok so big ... better you google the place you want to go and print out the address IN THAI LANGUAGE ... that would be best for you if you don't have phone

For question one.. I just did it last month and I forget haha ... IINM it's 250 bath and its standard across all banks (this confirm, I tried 3 banks lol). You should check with your local bank for extra charges instead. Public bank charge rm10 per transaction.

Rm12 is the local bank charges la =.= so you're getting charged tbh250 + rm 12 .....

That's cheap la ... u try take advance cash with cc before ? lol ... btw this is of course for emergency .. you should always take enough cash there ... and i advice change extra like USD200 to keep in your wallet for emergency ... you should never take atm from overseas ... unless you really have no choice ... that time .. 37 will be considered cheap

AFAIK ... Thai people is very "cincai" .... local thai ppl tell me this .. no1 cares about your fashion hence the high number of fakes there ... I think many girls are taking fake LV bags and no1 cares ... not like in KL where people think they are so high class and if you wear fake nike, LV, adidas or whatsoever, people look down on you ... i feel very relax in bangkok ... don't worry ...

edit: sorry ... note the difference of "basic" and "shabby" .... u wear fake shirt, short pants, slipper .. i consider that basic .. which should be no problem ... shabby would be like .... torn shirt .. weird pants ... then a sport shoe maybe .. that's shabby and weird ... that i think everyone in the world will look at you ... coz tat's juz weird

Went to Wat Arun last Friday ... worst decision ever .... the taxi driver was cursing from start to end lol ... everywhere block block block ... cannot go in cannot go out ... oh well

I tell you what's best ... not sure if it works for you .. maybe it's just a glitch but it happened to me and i'm damn happy lol ..

Go 7-11 .. buy anything and get yourself ONE STICKER .. exchange it with the TRUE SIM ... just tell them FREE TRUE SIM ... pop that in your phone .. tadaa free unlimited data lol ... NO EXPIRY ... i used it like 1 month and I didn't get charged .. don't ask me why lol

I top up 100 for calls ... i keep checking my balance .. scare they charge per use .. but no no deduction .. so i juz kept quiet and keep using ...

I was using desire HD that time though so i can't receive thier 3G band ... i was always on E only (yea it's frikin slow .. basically only for whatsapp use ONLY lol, but it's free so i aint complaining) .. not sure if that has anything to do with it ...

I still have the SIM with me .. i'm go back next sunday with my note 3 will try again and let you guys know ...

Nope .. didn't register anything like that ... still got it for free

got more .. 20 dunno get what .. 50 get umbrella .. 100 get table .. but seriously the SIM card is the best lol .. and it requires only 1 ... weird

Now dunno .. should be ... it was valid 2 weeks ago ...

Half day Ayutthaya? Are you serious ? Train from BKK to Ayutthaya itself is like 2 hours .. pergi balik oredi 4 hours ... no way half day can finish .. wayyyyy too many temples there

why everyone so worried ? You won't see a thing la ... feels like a normal day in Bangkok ...

Silom is probably not a good idea at this time..

Not sure that area wo.. I can try ask my friend or maybe xccess can help .. He seems to be in bangkok long time haha

Indeed.. Feels kinda like genting I'm lovin it haha

To those ULTRA SENSITIVE PEOPLE ... Try not to go Chinatown also...I was there just now.. Some jokers blowing whistle and stuff... Didn't find anything particularly interesting in Chinatown as well so I just left after my dinner... didn't quite like the sound of whistle especially at this kind of time in bangkok haha

Wanted to but didn't However I have tried the 2 hour train from Bangkok to Ayuthaya ... 15Baht (Yes RM 1.50 no mistakes) .. it was H$LL i tell you .... chinese saying .. peng yeh mou hou yeh .. cheap things won't come good .. so my advice is get a more expensive ticket since you're on it for 8 hours
