siam thana was rm 85 i think (http://www.siamthanahotel.com/en/accommadation/)
the last hotel i stayed at was satit. looks clean but occasionally u can see rat running on the corridors...and those are freaking huge rats. i'm going over this wednesday. will try to find the place.

oh u going earlier than me... too bad

ahh...satit got 2 right?

the new satit is not bad, i went there for massage before.

yeah i stayed at the new satit. yeah im going earlier...dont worry..i know where the padang besar sign is. so big..cannot miss one...LOL

Yup RM85 per night include breakfast for 2 + WIFI + Safety Box

Room is super big, with a bath tub with window inside the bathroom so you can rest in the bath tub and watch TV

lol pls let me know if u went there, aha

Not to mention the very nice interior and great service, the first time I went into the room, the bellboy open the tv and say to me "Movie Sir"... It's straight to the adult channel.. :-p

But anyhow, the price for Siam thana is keep on increasing and it's increasing very very fast, last year I can still get room for around 48-58... But now.... :-(

where is the best place for massage? apart from the overly advertised satit 2nd floor which I find so so only. normal traditional and oil massage

Any advice, how much would a 2 day 1 night trip to danok cost for single traveller ?

Is it recommended to buy their telco service or we can still use ours ? (heard from friend that don't need to buy can use ours)
(1st time going)


Thank You all

2 days 1 nite include wut???

hotel - RM80
food - RM20 (every meal is only noodle, chicken rice, pork rice)
immigration form and to pay thai customs - RM3 (Rm1 for the immigration form, unless u can get it for free. RM1 when let thai custom chop ur passport when u enter, and RM1 when exit)

Total: RM103

you can of course manual select ur phone carrier to digi,maxis,celcom. mine is maxis, but when i am there, usually i will face network loss problem. U can also buy their sim card la, TRUE only 90 bath for the sim card and can used EDGE to online

PS: of course you can also spend RM1k++ there for 2 days 1 nite

white card is FOC la, just walk into the office at your left, get one and fill it at the side table.

i been there almost 10 times, at least 5 times i go using my passport which means i need to fill up the white card. and for the every 5 times i went, they are out of stock . maybe you are lucky, or i am unlucky, i don't know

PS: white card is supposed to be free. just that all those suckers there want to earn bucks

impossible out of stock, show them your passport to get white card. it happened once to my bro, he was gonna get extra white card for me, then the person says one person can only get one, need to show passport.

Mainly going there as a side trip while in penang, thank you for replying,

Are there any other things i should be wary about ?

Any advice on a day itinerary ? (more towards sight seeing)

i did show them but they say no lo. imo it's not out of stock, it's just they dont want to give coz maybe they can profit sharing with those selling it.

lol. sight seeing i think nothing much

Except foodies there's really nothing there worth while to visit ?

consider nothing liao, unless some shopping (buy knives buy airgun), massage, and nightclubs those

PS: i would suggest u go to hatyai instead lolx. because later u complain it's a super boring place (which is actually true unless u have specific things to do there)

Hmm ok thanks my have to re-think my trip then....

Oliver massage near Oliver Hotel . Rm25 only then gave rm5 tips since massage was good (no happy ending one )

yea , I go to the duty free place and ask them to print/fill in for me . Just Rm1

Seriously you guys pay for the white card and even pay for them to fill in for you...?

Come on, no wonder these people are getting more and more daring in asking for money from tourist, they been used of getting spoil by Malaysian and Singaporean..

You can get this card for free at Thai checkpoint and also most of the shops around especially at The Zon duty free..

And to fill in the form, it takes less than 5minute to fill in...

Everyone knows that white card is supposed to be free.

Do u think we want to pay Becoz we lazy to fill up? Hell no.

It's just that when we (those who can't get it for free) are there, cnt get it when already at the zon duty free, don't bother so much and just pay for it

So if u know exactly which shop can get it, please let us know the shop name
