no rules for male; however, for females, the basic rules are not to wear anything too expose. nothing too significant.

For me the floating market is a must..Overall bangkok is just another shopping paradise..Temples are not ancient enuf. If u are not into shoppings & eating, but more of watching ppl, culture 7 etc..better go Ayuthaya & Floating market.

4 days & you are concentrating on Patayya I think you hv no time on Floating market-lah.. It will be about 1-1.5hrs to Dmanoen Saduak, another 2-3hrs rounding the market & thereafter ~ 1hr+ bck to bangkok. U will be bck in BKK ~ 2/3pm.

Dirty ah u ..Thai girls show ..That's illegal hor. I din try in BKK but tried in Phuket..It's already illegal even I last watched it in 1996!! They will secretly bring you to a secluded slump area..in a slump small teater. lotsa gansters manning outside.. I think not adviseable just seeing that nude circus & a man & woman making love on stage Lotsa ladies watch out 1/2 way thruout the show..kenot stand..

oh u missunderstand jor...like this i have total 6days in BKK...so i'll reach BKK on 11/2 and back to kl on 16/2 so on 11,12,13 is free n easy wherearea 14,15,16 is like the itenary i wrote

erm then i think dun wun go tiger show cos im wit my bro n mum...hehe

oh how bout suan lun night market?anything nice there?wut time it will open?

oh OK, for softcore, u can try those agogo bars at Patpong..another notorious sites..they do perform those nude circus acts after midnite if based on my younger days in Phuket. Nowadays, me kenot visit those places anymore..

oh why kenot visit??u sked heart attack ar??

eh then suan lum night mrkt wut time open??

kenot visit those pubs liao bcos how to bring my daughter in leh?

Suan Lum at Evening-lah..actual time no idea, should start in Evening...

Yes..probably 1hr you can reach the floating market dy if start early. be back by 12pm if u spend ~ 2-3 hrs there..

suam lum not highly recommend. beside it hv a food/drink/beer court & air cond, all item same as chatuchak. and very hard to bargain.

start from 6pm to 1130pm (bkk time)

okok so i'll cancel it out from my itenary....
thax for all da info

I beg to differ. Shopping in Suan Lum is a different experience from Chatujak. At night, it's cooler. It's open every night. The shops are more spaced out. There are less people there so you can enjoy your walk instead of rushing. the food stalls out there got ample sitting space. The ambience is somewhat different. I would go to both. Suan Lum is slightly more expensive than Chatujak but you can bargain.

its a good place for air-cond-must ppl..

Yeah me too prefer Suan Lum more modern, cleaner & got super huge food court..Chatujat is something like a slum open zinked roof complex...

i like suan lum just to walk around and chill. i dont really shop that much so the prices dont really bother me. i always end up buying my stuff in MBK just for its convenience. i think people just buying a few things should shop in suan lum. but if you plan to restock your whole wardrobe then go to JJ.

4 days is really really rush, i went there by 5 days also think that not enough, should have a few days more to explore around

tiger show price is 700 baht if i'm not mistaken, there is 3 famous show and the tour leader recommend us to watch 6996, a newer version compare to tiger show, too bad followed my parent and cannot follow them to watch

Suan Lum will be a perfect place if u dun like shopping at JJ which is too hot & stuffy too. Suam Lum open every nite. Prices there are not that great even though u bargain. More for tourist and prices also tourist price. There is a huge open food court. Got to buy coupon system. There is also a live band.Only sing in Thai. occasionally some English song

Well, JJ only open during weekend and d locals would go as well. Some offer wholesale price. Some offer quite reasonable price and when u ask for discount, the y won't go down much like 50%. JJ would have more choices or things to see.

Hi all.
I am planning to go to Bangkok in July. The main purpose is to go shopping! We four ladies are planning to go to Platinum Mall, Central World Plaza, Pratunam Market and MBK..Basically pratunam area!
Any nice budget hotel to stay around? Budget from RM100 to RM140.
Was planning either
1) Baiyoke Boutique Hotel
2) First House Hotel
3) Grand Watergate Hotel

Which of these is the most strategic??
