hey guys, i'm looking for the cheapest way to get to bangkok.
I'm planning to go around christmas, that's a week from now, more or less.

I've already checked the train and if my infos are correct, it'll set me back by around 300 for a return trip, anyway cheaper?

JJ to Chinatown (Hualamphong) - take MRTA

grandpalace to Silom- take boat to saphan taksin then take BTS to silom

suam lum to nana - take MRTA (lumpini) to sukhumvit then change to BTS ASOK station to Nana

Can take BTS to the nearest place to chinatown, then you walk la.

Forgot which station already.

whats the best way to get to ayuthaya?

i'm only free in the coming weeks. next year will be uncertain. So. the train is the cheapest option for me? I don't mind the time it takes, i just wanna get there.

whats the best way to get to ayuthaya?

last time i went there at 8am.. dun be too late as it will get very crowded.. and hot.. 

Hehehe the train is better. I took both modes, train ( 2nd class ) and bus. While the train may not be as clean as second class trains in malaysia, it was still more comfortable than travelling by bus. They provide food & water for you to drink, the journey's faster too as opposed to taking the bus.

Take cab from bangkok to ayuthaya = $$$. 1hour cab ride.

oh but vy mafan la take bus n train if i alone nvm wif olp ppl its hard

Communication is a real headache there 

and sometimes the taxi guy maynot know the way, thats even worse..lol.

What i normally do is to go to a hotel or tourist pondok and ask.

reli ar owh...erm perhap i'll giv up ayuthaya cos my schedule quite pack aso

It helps if u got the travel book with english-thai-english translator.

and if possible, get the names of places u wan to go, spelled out in THAI. Not all cab drivers know english or in alphabets ABC.

But sometimes, if you're lucky, some of them can even speak mandrin..lol..which i found out once. Thought this girl was native thai, mana tahu she reply back in mandrin.. hehehehe..which my fren knows how to speak la. (coz i mandrin oso tarak paham..worse  )

oic...where to get these book?im so busy la...no time to search around
