Hi Guys,
I am actually traveling to BKK end of this month, my budget for a hotel is around RM100~150-ish (2200 baht/night or cheaper if possible).
my main purpose of going BKK was to celebrate my cousin's stag party, until the group decided to ditch me, and now i'm traveling solo. So my criteria for the hotel has to be comfortable and with a swimming pool.
and this will be my 1st time going to BKK...any warnings/recommendations? as i went thru some past posts, seems like BKK is pretty crazy with all the scams and such

QUOTE(mugenz @ Sep 6 2012, 10:04 AM) Just don't simply get on to tuk tuk, they might detour to other places, then only bring you to your destination. Always don't believe some fella telling you that today its Buddha day and there is a ritual going on which can bring good fortune etc etc The usual thai girl/ping pong shows.. Do not simply go in. U might get alot of hidden charges after you call for bill. Famous restaurants might have alot of fake "clones" around. Even taxi driver will try to bring u to the fakes and claim commissions from them. So make sure the address is right.  So pretty much stick to taxi's then, i do read that we should stick to the meters? are the airport limos ok? i'll be there for around 4 days 3 nights, i just booked my hotel yesterday as well. |

QUOTE(mugenz @ Sep 6 2012, 12:23 PM) thru out my 5days there, i used the BTS most of the time. Taxi only for late night or trying to save time. not sure about limos. Same like msia, driver will say XX amount.. just say dont want. Get another cab Also, if wanna take cab.. u can ask hotel staff to write the destination in thai then show to the driver. 90% i encounter problem with this. cool! if only i have time to research where to go thru the BTS....work is currently piling up...i even have to sneak a lil bit time to come on lowyat..haha...xD |
