Hi, i am going to bangkok with my frens early of Feb, we will be going in the group of 7 ppl, what mode of transportation recommended for us to take for airport to Pratunam area? in addition, how is the weather on february?

i found all cab, bus, train is using thai word only...

any handphone translate soft recommend?

i recommend taking 2 taxi loh. unless you plan to take the bus. might be a bit confusing with so many of you. get a van taxi maybe if they got.

TAXI Not very expensive la. Should be less than 500baht i think.

February, i think the weather here is screwed la. Feb should be warm like usual. April is the hottest, but its also SONGKHRAN! everybody shoots water at anybody !!! (and temperature soars to 37C and above...scorching!)

Hi. I'm interested to travel from KL - BKK - Sukhothai - Chiang Mai - KL.

Any recommendation on the budget airlines that I can take for the connecting flights? Should I stop at Sukhothai or Phitsanulok?

KL-BKK - AA flt

Sukhothai to Chiang Mai - BKK Airways (daily one flight) or by bus 6 hrs

CM to KL - AA flt

Check out their respective website for the air fare

if take taxi around 11pm how much will be the price??

Out of curiousity: Do you get better rates changing money in Bangkok or just do it in Malaysia?

Malaysia better bcos u know where to get better rate..In Bangkok, the closest will be the airport money changer & their commission is sky rocket. Furthermore u are not sure which is the best Money changers in BKK or even if u know u dunno how to go there..

i would change in malaysia. unless you are changing thousands of ringgit the rates dont affect you that much. plus it might be hard to change money in thailand since its a prohibited currency to be traded overseas. not all xchange will take it.

Ehh actually RM already opened liao years bck after Mahathir retired..haha

It's well traded in ASEAn countries such as Singapore, Thailand, & Indonesia but not on certain countries such as Philipines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Taiwan, Hong Kong & etc...Those countries probably still phobia of what Mahathir did & thus our currency really so horribly traded there...The only choices for those badly available currency will be converting to US$ 1st & thereafter to the currency of that Nation once arrived.

But in Thailand, Singapore & Indonesia, RM is well traded & the rate between the money changers in these 3 nations are OK & competitive. Infact I even saw a ridicolous much better rate of RM at Bali compare to KL money changers!! For Thailand not much diff but changing in M'sia easier & you can find better rate here too..

oh i guess only for certain countries then. i thought still majority of countries in the region cannot. heheh. my bad. well i will still change in malaysia because always need to take the taxi in bkk anyways. heheh. so might as well change all i need in one shot.

It is better to change it in Malaysia. And Rapid Million @ Mid Valley offers good rate. They are sort of hidden inside a Magazine shop called NZ.

Haha I was recommended by this by sister happy4ever too...Yeap suprisingly cheaper than Wawasan! However years ago they are not competitive..probably after seeing the long que at Wawasan & now they started to offer something better than them

BTW, in the pinned currency xchange thread, Moody & more also noted there is another money changer..well more like Public bank at Bkt Bintang which offer cheaper than Wawasan too.....At last Wawasan no more the cheapest dy..

how to go damnoen saduak market from bangkok?

if by bus where to take?

if by tour where to find one?

and

how to go back from there?

U can either get package tour by walk-in to any tour agents in BKK (The most I heard ~! Khao San road)

Otherwise. just tapao any taxi outside your hotel for a day trip there. They will drive you there, wait for you & asking your permission to aloow him stopping at all those Gem stores & etc to collect petrol vouchers. & also bringing you to Elephant show, snake farm & etc...well u name it they will bring you lah...

The last I got in 2005 for 1 day trip was THB800 or RM80 to & fro BKK..excluding sampan fare ~ THB1000/boat. !!
