wah.. goldden boat ?

If you meant the floating market, don't bother going there. 30 years ago I would recommend but today nope. It is more for western tourist. Everything there is so fake!
Better you use that money to see the Tiger Monastery or Siam Niramit or Dusit Palace

Totally agree. No WOW factor. And I enjoy floating market in Vietnam better than in BKK

crazy price?

It's cheap lah if u can get what I get esp for 3 to Floating market..It's far & ~100km away..the boat was expensive bcos of engine boat & if u come in the group of >4, it will be much cheaper..

Well for me, although very commerciallise but atleast you're there.."Thing" Once enuf lah

going fly tomorrow morning, hv to wake up early

i hate lcct... a/c not cold, very less restorant, not enough seat, if full house even standing place also not enough

ehhh when u last use LCCT? Already expanded lah & more comfy compare to last time but still very basic...BTWm the real food court is actually outside the termianl within 150m away...The Chicken rice & nasi Padang not bad & yet still reasonable compare to KLIA pricing...

The price is about the same as KL shopping malls ''food court pricing...& the drink also very reasonable too...U won't kena ketuk at LCCT food court for sure..

i still hate LCCT. hahaha but at least got more places to eat. even places that are rare in KL like the mary brown fast food place. i only seen that in genting. heheh. i going to BKK next week and gonna drive far out to visit power plant. quite excited cause i never left BKK considering i been there so many times woot! not like going for tourism anyways though hahahaha.

beside McD?

No-lah, the one beside Mc D super pricey wan! That wan Asian....(Can't remember dy)...i was talking about the outside Food court located 150M away from the terminal on the way to Tunes Hotel. This is a proper Food Court cater more for LCCT & the cargo complex staff but lotsa passengers also there too...BTW, where in KL u can get a cup of cappucino for RM2? The LCCT food court does!!

RM2?

Haha tak percaya? Me too at 1st...

ok... tomorrow go try it.. sure there

On floating markets... Theres a lot around BKK and just outside. Most of them are crap now and very commercialized. But there are some that are very very nice and worth the while to visit. Though they are only to be found outside of BKK and will take a couple hours to get to by car.

Hmmm...Sure ar? How big it is?

Haha..dun expect it to be starbuck quality-lah..just a normal formed necafe kopi wth abit of sprinkle milo

hi all, how much it costs to go from kl to bangkok by train? i need the total price of a 2 way(return) journey.

where can i buy the tickets?

About RM320 for return ticket. for the 2 days journey!!

Might well hunt for AA promo ticket. Sometime u can get <RM200 return ticket using AA.. & no need to waste 4 days of traveling time.

is it even safe at all though? so scary leh. although i remember some athletes doing it during the riots way back.

i mean you are driving through conflict areas. the reasons i see to take bus....
1. trying to save rm200 and time is of no issue.
2. want the thrill of driving through the most dangerous parts of thailand.
3. trying to smuggle prohibited goods into thailand or malaysia.

Pretty safe-lah..The closest point to the conflict area is Hatyai. Otherwise, the train bypass the 3 restless Southern states of Narathiwat, Yala & Pattani. Songkla where Hatyai is the biz hub, not really affected except 1 occasion few yrs ago.

Satun province North of Perlis/Kedah & where the train passing thru after Hatyai is not affected at all bcos historically, Satun was not under pattani govt but more related to Kedah/Perlis govt that hv gave up Satun after 1909. Those 4 provinces are part of the ancient Pattani Malay Govt that also incude Kelantan & Trengganu b4 1909 and thus these Pattani ppl are the one fighting for their long lost land after the signing of agreement between british & Thais..

BTW...I'm taking abit of risk this coming CNY by driving from Taiping to Betong at Yala province to visit PKM camps.. , Thereafter probably turn back drive to Pdg Besar to Satun & maybe Hatyai, avoiding the scary bombing road after Betong towards Yala
