Hi all,

my girls and I ( 3 of us ) will go Bangkok next month, but we kinda stuck on the question where to stay...
Need some recommendation on a good place for us to crack for 3 nite.

Since we are travel in 3 and free-N-easy ( Basically we want to go BKK to shop ), looking for a place that can provide 3 bed in room / add bed service. The budget of total cost for each person is approximate Rm140-180 and nothing more.

So far, we only know about the 'takeanap' ( but there is no 3 bed in a room ) and Reno Hotel.
Can anyone share me some lights / ideas where to stay and whether Reno is okay ?? Tripadvisor review said Reno is worse hotel, so we kinda lost .



Thank you very much

PS : I kinda busy so no time to read thru the forum.


Thanks for the help

Hi hellokitty82,
Thanks for the reply.
I just received the rate from both hotel. TakeANap cost me 1300 each and Reno is 1680 ( included add extra bed ). So, both oso considered as fair rate and of coz 1300 definately fall lower than our expection.

.....

Oh my goss.. I can't believed I actually read the whole thread! Haha.. AND get many information too. Thx to all forumers.
But seems no one stay @ TakeANap before... =( Just a few ques:

1. I read about Chinatown is wholesales during day time. Do they open to public say walk-in people like me ?

2. Is there any recommended taxi driver that could come, pick us up && send to airport. AND also pick us from the hotel to airport ? Kinda worry three 'sotong' girls ( us lor ) will get con when getting taxi from airport.

Thxxxxxxxxx

I'm not sure about others. But I been to BKK & HK before.
Personally I dun think both of this place required tour. F&E will be better to explore the city.

Maybe BKK might be bit hard due to language barrier..

Err... i forgot what you thanking me for. LOL
Here's my *ahem* shopping *ahem* itinerary, dun laugh :

Day 1 ( Thursday )
> Hello BKK & check in hotel
> Go Paragon area + Cinema watch a movie + Supermarket to checkout local lifestyle + Naraya Shop for getting something
> Robinson if there is extra time / Dinner at Chinatown.
> Dinner Mc.Donalds perhaps!.

Day 2 ( Friday )
> Pratunum market / Robinson
> Dinner at Cabbage & Condom ( Support safe sex !! ) / China town eat seafood / try out http://www.somboonseafood.com/
> Suan Lum Nite market if got time / want to

Day 3 ( Saturday )
> Chatukchak market, shop until we can't stand the crowded/heat.
> Can go to Pratunum market / Robinson ( if we missed which one the day before ) + SPA
> Dinner at any of the spots above ( whichever we missed )
> Some other night market or Suan Lum ( depends on time )

Day 4 ( Sunday )
> Morning + Noon = Can go Chatukchat / Paragon area ( depending on time we have / things we wan to get )
> Goodbye BKK

Well, the whole thing rather draft only. The real time really depends how much time ( and $ ) me and my girls can shop
I share you the actual one when i came back. HAHaa.....

Cheers.....

Hopefully everything be alright during Sep & weather is good .. finger crossed

same here, I'm worried my trip too ( going in end of sep )
I got a fren flew off to Bangkok 29th Aug. Hopefully everything there is fine.

Oh yea.. i check out their news from http://www.bangkokpost.com/
Might be useful..

My fren took the dinner on cruise before. Her comment is the place is nice + food is alright + scene is GOOD!
Accordingly to her, she depart from River City and it cost about rm100

Ellloo.... I'm back from BKK. Already started to miss the place, buahahahaa....
Our itinerary doesnt really work and the trip may seems boring to most of you ( coz it is rather shopping )
Here's the things we have done :

Day 1
- Check in hotel (takeanap), only 10 mins walk to Siam & SalaDeang station
- Went to Siam Paragon, Siam Center, Siam Square ( the best one ), MBK
- Night went nearby Ribonson & Suan Lum night market ( but didnt shop at SuanLum ), my fren mobile phone was lost. So we ended up rush back to hotel to check but it was lost somehow.

Day 2
- Went Platinum ( Great place to shop )
- Night went Suan Lum again

Day 3
- Chatukchat ( Can't believed we actually walk from 9am until 5pm ).
- Robinson area ( patpong area )

Day 4
- Back to MBK to get some stuff
- Walk over to Central World for Naraya ( fren's request )
- Back hotel & go airport

Like i said, it was rather a shopping trip that sight seeing. Hotel was not bad. Like the concept & people that working there ( superb helpful ), location was great too ( Almost walking distance to any BST/MRT ), but the cleaniness of the hotel was not very very good in terms of plates & cups in the room & breakfast.. Hehee.. BUT still alright la.... Will be back another time..
