February, i think the weather here is screwed la. Feb should be warm like usual. April is the hottest, but its also SONGKHRAN!  everybody shoots water at anybody !!! (and temperature soars to 37C and above...scorching!) |

QUOTE(DrezzUp @ Jan 30 2010, 01:11 AM) 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. can i know min how many hour i need to spend in ayuthaya??i was thinking to spend it on my last day as my flight at 9pm....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. u think the time is sufficient to spent in ayuthaya before my flight? if not sufficient then i swap wit another day Added on January 30, 2010, 3:02 pmwhats the best way to travel to ayuthaya from BKK for 3 person?Hire cab for day will cost how much??if goin by train will it cost a lot of hassle?
