Traffic seems smooth, could be the road blocks that's reducing cars from jamming up the central district. Should be a good time to visit BKK as hotels are slashing prices, maybe air tix also cheap now.

Dammit! Must be the school holidays. Nvm I can wait, will pack my bags either July or August.

I may plan my trip to BKK next week, personally I think it's a good time to visit due to cheaper hotel rates and air tix.

Try Sirocco at Le Bua, will definitely put a dent in your wallet. This place consist of dining and bar.

This place have one of the nicest view. Food wise I'm not too sure because I usually go there for drinks. 63rd floor with magnificent night view is worth the money especially if you go there with your love ones.

You want to try Chocolate Ville? Good for family outing, nice place for dining but quite far from BKK centre, about 45 mins taxi ride. http://www.chocolateville.net/

There's nothing dangerous in BKK unless you purposely go looking for it. Just make sure you avoid touts and taxi/tuk tuk driver who suggest to bring you shopping for cheap jewelry and food. Some may resort to telling you the place you are visiting is close and they have a better place to go, just avoid these people.

You just need pure common sense to survive BKK. I can definitely say you will enjoy your maiden trip and sure there's many more to come.

Bangkok will be warm and humid, if you go Chatuchuk Weekend Market, try to go early around 9am. Wear shorts, singlet and slippers.

Do visit Asiatique. http://www.thaiasiatique.com/index.php/en

A bit far from BKK, around 45 mins taxi ride will bring you to Chocolate Ville. http://www.chocolateville.net/

Good news to all. Curfew lifted for Thailand.

Heading to Chiang Mai in January, decided to change Thai Baht before MYR dip further, RM2300.00 only get me 20K Baht (Midvalley), that's pathetic. Gonna change another 30K Baht next month.

Yes, that's the one. With the weakening of Ringgit, exchange rate will only get worse unless miracle happen.

New shopping center at Phrong Phom BTS, EMquartier. There's sky garden at 5th floor and plenty of new restaurants that you don't see around Asia at Helix that's connected to EMquartier.

Go Huai Khwang night market area, there's a restaurant where many locals goes to, the seafood and local food there is much better as compared to T&K. I've already dropped T&K off my list when I go Bangkok.

This is the place I'm talking about. http://anotherdreamytraveller.com/2011/10/...-kwang-bangkok/

Somboon considered commercialized for me, prefer places where Thais hangout. You can't go wrong with Noi seafood @ Huai Khwang. Do drop by EMquartier for some shopping and dining experience, it's a new shopping centre, plenty of niche restaurants at Helix, connected to EMquartier.

You can try but when Ringgit is slipping with no end in sight, I doubt money changer in Thailand would want to hold on to them so there's chances they may not accept RM. Just my opinion, better change here.

Yes, Somboon is at Ratchadapisek, somewhere along the side street from the main road. Looking at this thread gave me the urge to go back Huai Khwang, think I'll book my ticket next month....LOL

LOL... also booked my tix to CM too, going on Jan 2016, purposely go there for their cold season. Can't stand the heat these days.

Most likely book a private tour for a day then explore city by local transport for remaining of my stay. Info can get from CM thread, better stick to BKK discussion here, later kena screw.

Those going Bangkok do visit EM Quartier shopping at Phrom Phong station, new shopping and do check out their dining.

For those who frequent T & K at Yaowarat, perhaps it's time for a change. Now I go Noi Seafood located at Huai Kwang, so much better and less touristy. Heading there end of May, purposely stay at nearby so can eat there as often as I can.
