Thx Master Stimix,

How about transportation From BKK To Those Location? About > 150KM.

I hv just posted how to get there a page b4...I hv personally haven't been to Pattaya & Ayuthaya...haha

But to dmanoen saduak, just hire a 1/2 day taxi at THB800 to there & thereafter get him to go to non motorised boat otherwise he will bring you to the motorised boat which will cost in the region of >THB1000!

if you are looking for floating market, try amphawa. around 60 minutes driving from bkk, closer than damoensaduek, but same direction. at night there're firefly as well. it's famous now. danoen is kinda outdated.

Any Cheap And Nice Hotel Or Hostel To Recommend

We Stay 6 Days....Need To Concern The Budget

reli its better than damnoen saduak ar??erm i will think bout it...

my company is having a 3days 2 nights trip to bangkok trip. any suggestion for where we should go, visit and best place to eat. We got RM3000 budget for a dinner on the 2nd night. We only have 11 person on this trip.

i like the place called "the good view" nice restaurant along the river. another nice place is "long table"

Dinner? Halal or not? French? Thai or Teow Chew? Crabs or other seafood?
Better you suggest generally what are the 11 person food preference?

how is the food there. thai cusine? Price vice...medium or expensive?

well both are thai restaurants, but long table is more modern thai. long table is probably more convenient as its closer to bkk cbd. i went for drinks and some finger foods at long table and from what i had of the food it was good. price is ok. medium to high price. but if you have a budget of THB2000-2500 per person then it should be more than enough to eat there, unless everyone plans to get pissed. then you should head to a cheaper place.

Since we are in thailand, we want some nice thai cusine good environmental , trandisional, more lifely is better. will have some drinks there probalydrinking 3 bottles of wine or trigilla.

ah more traditional ke. then i dunno. for my traditional experience i always just eat at those side of the road places hahahahaha. but i dun think 11 people can sit there. but good view is nice thai food with nice atmosphere but not so traditional. another modern thai restaurant.

Or any famous thai mix west restaurant cusine and also goods place to drink? But not too formal. Cos we'll be wearing jean or even bermudas for guys.

1) if you want good sea-food, go to sompong at ram intra. it's a nice thai-seafood restaurant.
2) if you want a must eat food in thailand, try somboon in ratchada. it's famous for it's curry crab. locate at ratchada, although there is another branch in silom, which i think it's kinda tough to get there. One down side, they only accept CASH.
3) if you want a tasty traditional thai food, try lemon grass at sukhumvit soi 26, right beside emporium shopping complex. it serve excellent traditional thai cuisine.
4) if you want a good environment + music + contemporary + tasty food, try The Pool or Yes Indeed! locate at kaset nawamin. both are excellent.
5) if you want good view + romantic + high class restuarant, try Sirroco (The Dome) locate at silom as well (if i'm not mistaken).

BTW, all 5 restaurants locate in bangkok.

Hi everyone

Im' traveling to Bangkok this coming CNY with my boyfriend.

Stay at Sukhumvit for 7 days.

I need some advice on the MUST GO PLACES in bangkok that will not lead too far off from our trail starting point which is Sukhumvit.

So far there's too many places i want to visit, but i don't wanna waste too much time on something thats not really worth it. Checked on some internet sites but still i would like some insider reviews that have been to the place

Right now the list of places i would like to visit is as per below (if you have any recommendations/suggestions.. do add up to my list )

1. Caberat shows (not sure where is the best and near to sukhumvit)
2. Floating market (where is the best? read some reviews Damuen not very good?)
3. Chatuchak weekend market
4. Siam aquarium (issit worth it to visit?)
5. Zoo (issit nice to visit?)
6. Palace
7.
8.
9.
10.

Also one thing very important, my bf plan to get on ground tour packages when we arrive in bangkok. i.e. like those half day tour / 1 day tour. If you know any good tour guide services or packages, let me know also

Reason why we didn wanna book online is that online will be slightly pricey compare to when you get it from there and also we don't wana get cheated too

Thanks!

my recommendations for bkk.

visit:
temples (only the main ones)
markets (jatujak, suan lum, china town blah blah)
cabaret shows
floating market (probably with crocodile and snake farms)
ride motocyke and tuktuk (FEEL THE FEAR!!)

things like zoo and aquarium is the same as malaysia as the region is generally the same so got the same species usually. i think this is a big waste of time and money (aquarium is very ex.)

hi, may_saw87

where u stay? any recommedation?

I went to the aquarium inside Siam paragon...snapped the photo near the netrance & yeah...atleast i hv been there...well the entrance lah...

Similarly..I visited Hong kong Wax museum (mdm Tousud?)..snapped the photo wth Jackie Chan..& yeah..I have been there too no need to pay...haha..

Will do the same to all the expensive entrance tickets where you can find similar attractions in malaysia or those that u have visited b4 & not worth the money haha

Temples the main ones such as?? Heard there's quite alot there.
Markets can specific? I figure all markets will sell the same thing laa.. no point going to too many of them right?
floating market, crocodile and snake farms are they all on the same track.

My added list after a few research again..

8. Elephant show (where to see the best)
9. Tiger zoo (and i mean real tiger not those thai girl type)
10. Museums (any recommendation? wanna have a feeling of thai history)
11. The river cruise dinner (wan fah dinner cruise. isit nice and worth it ?)


Anyone any recommendations?? You can be specific so its easier for me to do a google map search then i can draw out a trail of my bangkok adventure
