Plastic surgery?

If so, I hear Hatyai has some good centers too. I'd still suggest anyone wanting to undergo it, to do it locally

Yeah thats why I said to do it locally

Ah well, plastic surgery has its pros and cons. People get confidence, while some others get to be more attractive, which helps in a raging hormonal world and culture

Kinda miss walking around BKK actually Cheap and good food stalls and not as much worry bout getting robbed! And cheese pop-corn!

Its one of the pop-corn types in the cinemas there. I believe its on the cinema at Paragon. Been a while though, so I can't clarify they still have it But it tastes a bit like cheetos.

But BKK has got some of the best cinemas I have seen. Central World has the Lazy boy seat which is really awesome, especially with a loved one.

Chatuchak is weekends only. Thus why its called the weekend market. Opens as early as 7am, might be a bit quiet though.

Damnoen Saduak is outside of BKK city right? I'd say taking cabs would be pretty costly, since they are both outside of the city. Better to get a coach ride or a van to take ya'll there.

Hmmm, I'm not very sure then, been a while since I been to those places, and with a cab too. I THINK the safari will have those pick up vans, but you gotta check that though. Usually hotels will offer some sort of transportation to tourist locations.

Well... you don't HAVE to go to chatuchak. . . Theres many other places you could go to which offer some of the stuff they sell there. Theres hmm.. MBK (mall), Pratunam, errr Suan Lum night market. Prolly not as cheap as chatuchak though.

Your husband is gonna wear a skirt into the Grand palace? Prolly won't be allowed in for indecency! Hmm, no idea, but you could buy a cheap batik really and just wrap around. Why rent!? Oh and go there early, the Palace closes quite early, like 3pm I think.

Welcome Have a good time there!

Well... its all up to you really. For some people, those places are really worth going, some aren't.

I can't recall the names of the floating markets that are good, but its about safe to say the ones outside BKK are the better ones. The ones -IN- BKK aren't as good. They are much smaller and personally wouldn't recommend as much.

The good ones though, can be really good. Lotsa good food and cheap stuff. Not to mention amazingly long. You could prolly spend half the day there if you spent time on both sides of the river. Could be just as good as chatuchak depending on what you wanna buy. ie. you prolly won't find pet food there but you could in chatuchak

Safari... not too sure really, haven't been there since I was a kid.

A traveling tip though... if you are there for a short period of time, might as well pack all the activities you can do thats -IN- BKK itself. That way you don't waste time in traveling to places. And then do those that are outside BKK on another trip.

Heading there this thursday, 19th!

Hmmm, I know for sure Amari and Silom hotel is virtually IN the city itself. Since they aren't too far from where I stay. Amari train station... I believe there is like several stations just around the corner and the MRT jsut across the street.

Not very sure where the center point silom hotel is... but silom BTS station is easy to get to and fairly big. And chances are, if its near Central mall, the BTS should be near. I think you can check locations in their site too.

Hey pandar, saw that hotel you are in, an elderly couple stopped there too on the bus I was on from the airport. Looks pretty good!

Thats still alright man, I've seen worst without even a proper 'shop'. Just a stall

Kickboxing shorts and accessories

Music and movies?

Hmmm, not sure... I'd say MBK (MahBoonKrong) or Pantip.

Hmm, what other tourist areas are you looking at? Chatukchak can be reached by BTS and its my recommended mode of travel, though you prolly wanna hitch a cab back depending on how much stuff you bought.

Pratunam itself doesn't have a BTS station and I believe the nearest one is Chitlom's and Rachathewi. Its not too far away, could be walkable but everyone has their own walking distance preference..... so I suggest looking at your hotel's location and see how far it would be.

Always best to go around on the BTS anyway, cheap, fast and no hassle with taxi drivers.

Hahaha, can't really help out too much there since I don't stay in hotels when in BKK. Sorry! But the street that I live in is finely located though. Major malls in walking distance and/or 1 or 2 stations away.

Mostly are 5 star hotels though.... but you can try Erawan or Amarin, lotsa malls around it and pratunam is pretty close too, not to mention central world is just literally across the street. Don't recall their rates though

Anywhere near a BTS should be fine really.

Welcome! Have fun!

Gaysorn, Central world, paragon.

Oh right lol, sorry, was too hasty. They are all malls, mostly to shop. Gaysorn and the one just opposite it is full of branded and high end stuff. Almost like star hill.

Depends on where you wanna eat though. Central world has a ton of restaurants and the food court is supposedly ranked pretty well too.

Well, can be useful to bring along.. But just doing a lil homework on keywords before hand should be sufficient really.

A calculator also helps too, if you are into bargaining and such. Might sound lame to bring along, but it actually does help!

Pandar loves the BTS too

Well, it depends on how much of BKK you'll be covering. BKK itself is huge, if you plan to cover like a part of BKK then another part on the other side of the city, getting another hotel in a diff area can save you some traveling time

Why don't you just get the card thats like Touch-n-Go?
