ya. got tv inside the room but nothing to watch... got discovery n thai channel only...
Added on September 29, 2008, 9:12 amya... its true. i was cheated as well... they told me its closed for 1 hour plus for buddha praying... then suggested me to take a tuk tuk to lucky buddha, standing buddha and marble temple nearby.... then the most importantly is he asked me whether im student. i so naive answered NO.... stupid me. then he say there is a thai export shop on promotion now... yet he say "to go these all places, only need 40 baht, if the tuk tuk charge you 100 baht then don take. its too expensive..." i so stupid asked him help me to get a tuk tuk for me. then after each temple, the tuk tuk brought me to this stupid jewel n tailor shops. i at first said i don wan to go, but he insists to bring me there. he don wan to move until i say YES.... Damn.
luckily when i entered the shops, i told them im still a student, then they din push me, but push me to buy the stupid soap for 350 baht. i insist not to buy. cos i know i can get it for 50 baht outside. then i just walked out. the tuk tuk driver was angry cos i din buy anything (he cant get any commission o petrol coupon) n fetch me back to grand palace even though we hvt been to standing buddha yet. when i reached the entrance of grand palace, only i realised that its open all the time....
so, anyone going to bangkok o grand palace, pls be careful.
yaloh...they told me there was monk held praying ceremony inside...so the temple is closed and will open at 2pm...ask me takw tuk tuk go mount temple, marble temple, etc....after that only i realised kena tipu...so angry and no mood liao...
at first he said go one jewel shop...after one..say another one..then another one..say last one...then ask us go another one..i said NO. No more. Just now already said last one. Then the tuk tuk driver's face also black dy. really bad...

itinery ah...here it goes
1st day:
arrived at 930am....take taxi to Pratunam area (my hotel is near that hotel)...the taxi cost us 300Bath include toll and surcharge. So guys, remember must take public taxi from airport....go at entrance 10.
Then after checked in straight go shopping at Platinum Fashon Mall. At night, have a walk at Pantip Plaza since just beside Platinum. Pantip Plaza is more to electronics, camera, etc.
2nd day:
Mount Temple
Marble Temple (just outside...no mood to go in although just need to pay 20Bath to go in because kena tipu by the tuk tuk)
Grand Palace and Wat Phra Keow (Temple of Emerald Buddha) [recommended ... go visit and you will know
]
Central World ... Naraya [ppl shop like no tomorrow
]
MBK (very much like Sungai Wang)
3rd day:
Siam Ocean World @ Siam Paragon...entrance fee is 850Bath, 990Bath if includes boat ride and 4D movie [is quite expensive...worth of not..depends on own judgement...for me...interesting part is the ppl feeding sharks
]
Siam Paragon is very high class shopping mall...so i just walk walk then go out...
Opposite Siam Paragon is call what? Like a street with lots of small shops along the way...also HardRock Cafe is there....quite happening there when i went...coz they were helding some function there....got band playing and singing, young ppl selling sweets, cakes, desserts, souvenirs, etc there....
Then walked back to Platinum to shop...
4rd day:
last minute shopping at Platinum again before depart back to KL ...
basically...my holiday is half half sightseeing and shopping....among all shopping centres..i love Platinum the most...as you can really shop for cheap clothes.....
