btw, phuket airport got giving out free simcard, bangkok airport dun have ar?

got me tix for next month, a last minute impromptu trip
now hunting for accommodation, anyone stayed at Heritage Hotel b4?
how's the experience?

or anyone can recommend me one?
this is my criteria:
Budget per night: less than RM150 w/ bf per night
very near to BTS
Must have free wifi/internet in room


Heritage Hotel kinda fits my criteria, but there's mixed review of it on tripadvisor

going there this Thur for 1 week, but weather forecast doesn't look favourable
all week scattered thunderstorm with 60% chance of rain

just back from 1 week trip in BKK yesterday

raining everyday, quite heavy too
multiple area had minor flood, but water subsided quickly

flood center has been setup at police HQ as per yesterday, few locals are expecting major flood like last year one

during my visit it was raining on and off for few hours daily
mixture of heavy & light rain, but hardly any sun, as it's cloudy when it's not raining
my advice? bring a foldable umbrella or raincoat
when it's heavy rain, even walking on the BTS skywalk aren't safe from the rain, still get my jean half soaked

on Sunday from our tour back from Ampawa, one of the highway was flooded slightly less than knee deep
but luckily our tour van still can brave the flood and managed to get home safely

oh yeah, in case anyone planned to shop at Siam Center.....

it's closed for renovation until year end, Nov I think

just take the cab lor... it's still dirt cheap compared to KLIA or other country's airport cab fare
just make sure it's the public cab, not the airport limousine service

during my last visit, we took cab mostly as it's cheap & most energy conserve way of traveling
except during the the rush hour which is super jam then we use the MRT/BTS
the most expensive fare we paid is 120Bath when the driver refused to use meter due to it's late & raining.

tried a few variation of padthai from a few restaurant and road side stalls
most are crap, especially those from restaurant
the best we had are from the Ampawa floating market, sold from the boat, ate at the shore
yum~~~

missed the BBQ squid there too, all are fat and juicy, tip in their chili sauce... oh~~ I'm in heaven
