Added on January 27, 2010, 11:05 pmU can book tour at your hotel's tour desk. However, if you look at the city tour or half day tour, it is almost u can reach there by yourself by BTS/MRTA. D only place u probably won't go by yourself is Gemstone shop!

And to all lady shoppers, besides clothing BKK has a great range of undergarments, good quality & you may not find d design in Malaysia. And the best thing is, they are cheaper than Malaysia. The brands are like d usual brand that u gals probably know such as Wacoal,Triump,Vanity Fair, Guy Laroche, etc....U can get it at places like Central or Robinson. Ask them for discounts being a tourist. U got to show passport. Sometimes they have got sale, like you buy above certain amount...u get lucky draw.And d lucky draw is like the following item u will get 20%,so pandai pandai lar. And u buy certain amount u will be able to claim VAT at d airport. Find out at the shopping complexes cos you need to fill up some forms @ d customer service centre. So again u get some money back...untung lor. If you go with friends, gather all the bills to claim VAT if u shop in Central or Robinson.Don't claim individualy.(Not applicable if go shopping at Platinum or Pratunam)

Secondly, other cheap things u can look out is Loreal Range of product..cosmetic to hair care product,tooth paste,clorets, energiser battery (rechargeable battery)....these some of the things I find it cheap . Probably u guys must be thinking why there,Malaysia has it all. WELL since m there I will just stock up lar. I will usually go to BIG C jalan jalan. Their Hypermarket is quite interesting compare to ours here..

1) Damnoen Saduak
2)Ayuthaya
3)Pattaya
4)Bkk

how should i arrange for the above location, which go 1st?

Depend on you just allocate 1 full day each for Damnoen Saduak & Ayuthaya & probably 2 days to pattaya...Bangkok probably 3-4 days depending how long you will be there...

Damoen SAduak can just be a half day trip go early morning . Ayuthaya a day trip. Pattaya, u may want to stay longer perhaps 2 days.

It depends on what time u reach BKK, if it is late arrival, overnite in BKK then go Pattaya for 1 or 2 nites then next day.Then when u come back BKK (again depens on what time u reach BKK), go to Ayuttaya, the next day early morning go to Damoen afternoon. U shud leave around BKK places of interest last cos u dun wan to rush from somewhere far to catch the flight. However if your trip falls on weekdays as well as weekends, then u might want to replan if u plan to go JJ market

My Flight Arrival At 9.30 Morning (Wed)

Return To KL At 5.45 Evening (Mon)

Im going to BKK with my friends, a total of 5 of us.
We are planning to go during the water fest. (How is it during that time?)
This is our 1st time there, for now, we dont even know where are we staying yet.. ><

Prolly wanna go some interesting landmarks during the day.
and interesting nightlife places during the nights.

Recommendations anyone ?

Perhaps from Airport u check whether u coudl get to Pattaya straight by bus or van. Then back on Friday. Or from Pattaya, see whether u go go straight to Ayuthaya in d morning (take package tour) then back to BKK in d evening from there. (m not too sure whether suggestion given to you workable or not. U got to really check it especially trasportation to all these places and must preplan) On Sat morning go to floating market.u will be back by half day trip. With d rest of the half day - u can go to china town , wat arun, wat po, grandpalace(go chinatown last) so that U can enjoy dinner there or if u dun want the temple trip, can go to shopping at pratunam & platimum (Note both places close by 5-6pm) . Then on sunday,go to JJ market u will probably spend there till afternoon or evening d.

On monday, u may not have so much time for more shopping as u got to leave yr hotel by 3 pm otherwise u will be caught in d jam. U have privillge of shopping from 10 am till 2 pm only. Do note hotel check out time is 12 noon. Ask whether they allow late check out at 2 pm for free.otherwise pack yr luggage n leave at the receptiion or bell boys.Make sure u stay hotel near BTS, easy for u to travel around.

When go bangkok, remember go for thai full body massage. damn cheap.

place to recommend is in Siam Square, opposite Novotel hotel. (Walk down from MBK, directly opposite siam paragon), Soi 6. Get down from Siam Square BTS.

Few are nice one. 250Baht for 1 hour full thai body massage. Got facial and foot massage. Damn cheap lo. Its like RM25 for 1 hour. But the one i got was an aunty who is damn strong...muscle also pain.

I think the one i went to was this, (not sure) but the price is the same as this. The lady boss can speak cantonese/mandrin/thai/english ...so gooding
