Thanks sunbeams for your prompt reply.

Now my only concern is place to stay. Wanted to book Samran Place.. but its fully booked. Moreover its 29Dec06-1Jan07.. so difficult to book a hotel..

Have anyone stay in Ibis Siam Hotel b4? is it ok?
How far is it from the Hotel to Skytrain?
How about First House Hotel?
I want somewhere which is near public transport..

and erm.. any recommended place to hangout on New years' eve?

hmm.. since palazzo is nice.. i'll book palazzo then..
is it far from pratunam/chatuchak/siam?

i heard its near MRT.. so i have to change to BTS if i want to go to the above places is it?

ah.. ic.. thanks for the info dude..

i've just booked palazzo.. i hope its not a fcuk joint since its near red light district.. but heck.. too late to regret now..

i booked for RM119 incl breakfast.. i'd say its quite a good deal.. i booked thru www.hotels2thailand.com

have anyone been to Sirocco @ state tower??

will definately go there 1 night..

how abt the weather in bkk end of dec? ehhehe.. cooling as well?

I was supposed to give my report on my trip to Bangkok.. Which was last year.. wow.. close to a year now..

I was staying in Palazzo Hotel. Recommended by 1 of the forummer. Its was a nice hotel if you ask me. Near to MRT. 7-11 is just across the street. Lots of massage parlour along the road.. i think i went for a foot massage every night after shopping.. hahahaa.. cos the massage was inexpensive too.. Hotel food was great.. we ordered room service in a few ocassion.. not that expensive also..

Went to the normal places.. Chatuchak, Suan Lum Night Bazaar, Siam Paragon, MBK, Robinson, Grand Palace and etc.. oh.. my bf and i went there to spend new year.. so new year eve we went to WTC happily and bought ticket for their events.. its open-aired with lots of tables, u can order food and drinks.. with stage and all.. their beer tower was cheap!! really cheap!! my bf and i were happily eating and drinking away.. made some new friends with a bunch of Thai ppl next to our table.. suddenly.. they turned off the lights on the stage, made some announcement in Thai.. thankfully the Thai ppl next to our table translated to us.. apparently there was bomb scares in bangkok.. so there will not be any celebration.. Feeling disappointed, went back to hotel.. Hotel's tv full of news in Thai.. so we didn't bother it much.. we were just wondering.. its just bomb scare how come there's news all over.. struck midnight.. *pooop* our hotel had a blackout!!! but still managed to c some nice firework through our window.. electricity came back 5mins later.. whole night my bf and i been receiving sms from family n friends back home here, Malaysia asking if we were ok bla bla bla.. my bf and i got a bit curious and suspect something big must have happened till Malaysia got the news..

Checked on the internet CNN, oni to find out that there were actually bombings around Bkk area and not bomb scares which the Thai ppl translated to us and actually WTC got bombed after midnight.. *whew* luckily my bf and i went back to hotel and didn't wandered around.. hahaha... now come to think of it.. its very funny.. cos both of us bodoh-bodoh and didn't bother to know more abt what happened.. hehehe..

Anyway, Thank God we both are still alive.....
