QUOTE(fuzagi @ Aug 15 2012, 04:25 PM) i miss the icecream at the sunday night market. its at the lane beside McD. first stall. other than PED restaurant, try also Chinatown restaurant, which i think is better. its somewhere further up the lane behind Satit Grand View hotel. anyway, prices in Dan nok is somewhat similar to KL due to market spoiler and exploitation. and the culture u experience there is not truly that of the Land of Smiles. prefer Hat Yai for more authenthic Thai food and experience. tipping is expected and common in Thailand, esp. in places like waterview and the moo ka taa. generally, a tip of 50-100baht is appreciated. Further down the main road, passing KPK by some, theres a basic shooting range where u can rent a Glock 21 and the classic M16 for 1200baht inclusive of bullets. u might wanna bring your own earplug if u need as the headphones provided are in a state of despair. guns needs servicing though, as they frequently get jammed. THANKS FOR SHARING BRO!~ Mind to show us more precise about the shooting place? KPK is what, though?

KPK is a hotel and club somewhat further down from the rest of Dannok. the shooting range is called THANAPAT SHOOTING SPORT CLUB. its not very visible from the main road though, look out for a signage with cocacola. your best option is to ask the motosaai guys to get u get.
Added on August 15, 2012, 5:19 pmmy fav supper is the steamed crabs on the street. those stalls along the mainroad are quite good. prices are according to sizes. starting from RM13 for a small one to RM30++ to a larger one. what makes the difference is their dipping chilli sauce. i personally like the one on the left side of the main road, ran by 2 ladies, with a drinks stall with lots of fresh coconut. their stall is one of the longer ones and has more seats, even up to the shoplot walkway. other than crabs, they have other seafood like squid, fishes and clams. very reasonably priced and the best thing is their chilli sauce. try out the many stalls for yourself and share the best u like here.
Added on August 15, 2012, 5:31 pmfor breakkie or brunch, the pork leg rice, on the right side of main road which also serves kuay teow soup. crowded and fast turnover of customers so eat quick or get unpleasant stares from one of the worker aunty there. also, a small stall nearby sells a kind of kuih (still dont know the name) which i guess is steamed coconut milk, flour and egg, and served with sugar, which tastes quite good to me.
other than that, the big and tasty fried chicken, som taam, and McD's samurai pork burger is what i eat in between meals
Added on August 15, 2012, 5:46 pma note, the Waterview Restaurant vans are available for 240baht, which will be added to your bill later. it includes pick up from your hotel, and a ride back to your hotel. just ask for it at the frontdesk. but, u might have to wait for 10mins++ at the hotel. if your lucky, less than 5mins.

Currently the best hotel ate definitely Siam Thana for me, it's new, clean, cheap and it's big.. Ask for the normal room without balcony will save you 200bth..
Also it's better for you guys to do advanced booking, because the hotel room are limited, for the past few weeks, trying to get the room by walk-in but all fully book, even on normal day..
Agree with fuzagi, those stall selling kuih are great and most important it's cheap, where can you get a bak Chang for only 15bth with full ingredient? My favorite stall is the one after the orange Minimarket, in front of the handphone accessories shop, but be there early..
