QUOTE(Kitharafender @ Sep 21 2012, 05:24 PM) Let me tell you our story; Asia hotel is how many star punya hotel? We check into Asia Hotel on the 6th floor and everything seems just fine until the next morning. We were getting ready for breakfast and I couldn't find my bracelets which was left on the table the nite before. Me and my wife search and cleared that table and still no sight of my bracelet until we turn away momentarily and when we turn back low and behold there it was on the table right in front of our eyes. Both of us were stunned. We requested for a change of room but since is a saturday is all fully booked up and we stayed for the rest of the night WE didnt quite had a good night sleep though we didnt see or felt any thing unusual but we did pray well. When we return, we browse through the web and were shock to learn that Asia Hotel Bangkok is one of the top Ten most haunted hotel in Asia. |

QUOTE(Serendipity123 @ Oct 26 2012, 09:47 PM) Well, I have never heard of that sampans overturning in the floating market before lah. Maybe very rare? I'm going to the Damnoan Saduk 1. So do we have to sit in the sampan?Which one are you planning on going to? I've been to the one in Amphawa and it was lovely. It was where the locals go to instead of the touristy one, the Damnoan Saduk. But it's about 4 hours away, and you don't get to sit in a boat and haggle with the sellers lah. Only the sellers are in the sampans. And you buy from them by the riverside. The things are cheap and lots of local food to try there. I missed it!

QUOTE(Serendipity123 @ Oct 26 2012, 10:02 PM) Well, my friends had been before and they went on the sampan. Ya, on a tour. At least now I roughly know. No need to say sorry, u have helped a lot really. Thx. But I think it's bigger than the average sampan. I think. Not very sure. Are you going on a tour? If it is really a concern, perhaps there's an option for you to walk on the side instead? Sorry for not being more reassuring. |

QUOTE(Putraskyline @ Oct 27 2012, 04:37 PM) Usual tour will use motorized boat from outskirt of market (Roughly 15 minutes) to the center of market itself. After that you have option either to hire a sampan (extra pay) or just walk by yourself. Thx a lot. The sampan will almost certainly not overturn right?

QUOTE(mugenz @ Oct 30 2012, 07:25 PM) If photo taking, usually will be grand palace, the temples nearby to palace, the river cruise (normal one will do), railway market and floating market... I'm also into photo taking, but I'm going on a tour (Bangkok + Pattaya). Booked extra 1 day of free time, last morning also free and easy. The tour include floating market edi, so is it possible to cover all those u mentioned + shopping in 1 day and 1 morning (floating market no need)? My family also like to shop |

QUOTE(mugenz @ Oct 31 2012, 12:35 AM) Hmmmm grand palace + one of many temples + river cruise will prolly take half a day if just walk thru. For palace u can have guides to explain the place which this will consume time. If self tour prolly possible. I think I'll skip railway market, since the pics I saw didn't look that nice...About railway market, still possible but not sure if to go morning will be better choice... Quite tough to do all mention in single day. This post has been edited by danielcmugen: Oct 31 2012, 11:20 PM |

QUOTE(mugenz @ Oct 30 2012, 08:11 PM) If memory serves me right Wat arun is the one by the river? That's why I recommend normal river cruise to take picture of the temples.. For Wat Arun, normal river cruise means which 1? Ancient city is very nice. Seen a lot of nice pictures of it.. This post has been edited by danielcmugen: Dec 16 2012, 11:42 PM |

QUOTE(mugenz @ Dec 17 2012, 12:34 AM) If take the water taxi aka normal river cruise you will passby those temples and grand palace. Therefore it will be good for photo taking during night time. Edited: Found out edi. Thx a lot!For grand palace, I normally just take a cab directly. If wanna save cost, you can actually go to taksin pier to take water taxi accross the river then walk to grand palace. But do u have any idea when is their (water taxi) operating hours? I search around also can't find. This post has been edited by danielcmugen: Dec 17 2012, 01:04 AM |

QUOTE(Glamourousfit @ Dec 17 2012, 10:58 AM) What kind of facilities are you refering to? Don Mueng was BKK international airport. U just need to touch down and take yr taxi to your destination Thank you. Are there boats available at night after 7:30 other than dinner cruises?Added on December 17, 2012, 11:12 am If you stay near BTS...u can take BTs to Saphan Taksin http://www.google.com.my/imgres?imgurl=htt...Q9QEwBA&dur=226 From the station just walk to the pier.Ask ppl how to walk to pier as you come out...when u c boats & river that's the one and the local ppl use it for daily transportation. From this pier, it will take you to (stop at Tha Thien pier) Wat Arun. From Tha Thien pier, take another ferry to cross the river. Then cross back again to go to Wat Pho (Reclining buddha) and Grand palace. And you can also take the fery to Chinatown or Khaosan Rd. Or else take a tuk tuk to Flower mkt if you are interested.
