Im going to bangkok on a family trip during next year's chinese new year which is on 15th to 18th of february.  Is there any serviced apartment or suite which can fit 8 of us ? The maximum budget for one night is rm500.  Ive been looking high and low and i cant find any of them suits us.  Maybe i missed some of them? by the way, we are looking on those hotel which is situated at Sukhumvit.  Thanks lots..

thanks!  will put that under KIV then if got good recommendation

my brother's colleague suggested us to stay at All Seasons cause their office have got corporate rate at 1200 thai baht.  I've checked the hotel webiste and it's address is 375 Vibhavadi Rangsit Road, Phayathai, Bangkok 10400. 

It also says the fllowing

Strategically located 20 minutes from Bangkok International Airport and 25 minutes from the city, Gold Orchid Bangkok is on the Vibhavadi Rangsit Expressway close to the Sutthisan Junction. Before DTAC building towards the Bangkok International Airport.

but sounds like it's far from town area right?  from the map it looks like it's near the trains and chatuchak, but maps can be deceiving.  what do you everyone else thinks?

can somebody please tell me how far is ratchada (palazzo hotel) to sukhumvit (nana entertainment plaza). how do i get there?

hey guys i would like to ask...the tour agency quote rm 1100 to bangkok on feb13 2010 5D4N, all included ticket+accomodation+food+transport around bangkok!Is it cheap or expensive?cos im considering whether to go ourself our by tour guide?

thanks.  since i'm bringing my parents, would like to stay somewhere nicer... watana doesn't seem to have very good reviews.  Citin seems to be much nicer.  have you stayed there before?  easily accessible?  I'm only travelling on March 2010, do you think it's still too early to book?
can you please list down the itinerary for your tours?  Am thinking of booking tours for my parents as well.  thanks much.

Hey guys im taking a flight to bangkok on this thursday and ill arive at 11.40am there

its my 1st time in bangkok so haha i dont know much and would like to hear your experiences

so my question is

what kind of transport should i take from the airport to the hotel
im afraid there are some taxis that dont use the meter and would charge pretty high because we are tourist

anything to avoid?

because i know in hong kong i took the express train

my hotel would be frasers suite located at 55 South Sathorn Road, Tungmahamek,
Sathorn, Bangkok 10120

hehe thank you everyone!

much appreciated!

i will be going to bkk end of the month and my agent arrange us to liv in dynasty hotel. hows that hotel?? according to him, its not in the city area so not really jam and surrounding for night market too..or can take a teksi to city at night.. may i know how much is the teksi rate from dynasty to china town? plan to try the seafood there

Are you going in a group or alone? If its just like 1 or 2 of you, I would suggest taking the express bus.  Provided there isn't too much luggage.  The bus costs 150 baht per person and you don't have to pay for the toll on the highway.  Also, provided your hotel is within the routes.  You should be able to google up the routes it takes.

If however you wanna take a taxi, you can just say you want to go on meter (just say 'meter' and they will know).  If not, then just refuse and take another cab.  Or you could go to one of the taxi counters too.  Getting to the city should cost about 300baht not included toll fees which will be about 80 baht in total for 2 tolls. 

Wish I could help more, but not too familiar with that hotel or location. 

Things to avoid.. just becareful when there are some people who try to be really helpful and tell you alternate routes or places you can go to.  eg.  they say the tourist spot is closed, but might actually be open and they just want to lead you somewhere else which will cost a bomb.  Theres actually a lotta these 'con' guys that mislead you. Better to actually get to the location and see if its closed or not.  For ways to getting to places that isn't reachable by the train (mrt (subway) or BTS(sky train)... I'd suggest asking the hotel on how to get there. 

A quick example on those con/misleading guys.  Was going to check out the grand palace and otw there, this dude said it was closed, so we decided to go to a temple nearby which is only reachable by taking a ferry across.  He overheard and was overly helpful and told us of a pier with a boat to take us there, even got a tuk tuk for us.  Btw, the grand palace closes at like 3pm, and we were there are at around noon.  Once we got to the pier, it turned out that it would cost quite a bomb to use the service of their boat, which included a tour around the area.  We refused.. and managed to find our way to the public ferry which was only like 5 baht, I think? to get across.

http://www.bangkokairportonline.com/node/55

When you get on the bus, there will be someone asking where you would like to go.  So you don't have to specifically say the stops they listed.  As long as its a place that is along the route, they will stop the bus there for you to get off.

Hi guys, I'll be coming back from Chiang Mai to Penang on the 29th and will be having a 6-7 hours transit at Bangkok airport.
Are there any interesting places to visit near the airport or shall I just shop in the airport?

how come no one give me review on bangkok palace n first hotel?

May I ask whether do I need to get visas to travel in Thailand for about 7days?

EDIT: Got the answer from the web. Don't need to get visa if stay within 30 days.

Thanks.

Thanks...On the floating market, probably u went to the one opposite BKK city & not the original & authentic Danusk Saduak which is in hulu-hulu land about the distance from KL to Melaka! ..really inside Kampungs & lotsa of Mat Salleh...& the waterway was so cramp wth tourist, lotsa old ladies selling coconuts, vege, souvenirs, & food from the boat stalls....very authetic......BUT the motorboat trip is the one killing..so pricy! Should have taken the package tour.

any recommendation for chinese food/shop in chinatown?

Kuih chap, so thats what it was called!



Yes..only at nite in chinatown. The stall is right in the middle of the entrance of the lane, which has many other food stalls along it.
Very nice, and lot of thai ppl queuing up to eat too!

Further behind got uncle do the seafood dishes. They have crabs!


And steamed fish (most thais prefer deep fried, so its rare to find steam fish other than in chinatown)

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?
