LOL, that's because of the 1 hour time difference.

Remember, the departure time is always based on the time zone of departure port, and the arrival time is always based on the time zone of destination

hehe....i'll be flying off tomorrow morning, few hours away, mebbe u can PM me your contacts i'll be there the whole of next week. staying at riverfont. 

hi just came back frm BKK , a pleasant 5 D 4 N trip.

Something to share :

During arrival, make sure you get a taxi with meter on as i have being conned for 500B to downtown. Which usually is around 300B

If you are opting for weekend market, make sure you go without carry any beg with you as when you keep on purchase it will become your burden. Plenty of food there and hefty of stuff to purchase. Lunch will cost you around 30bath with water.

Well known seafood at night is Somboon ( i went to the one at Surawong Rd ) near my hotel Trinity Silom ( walking distance ~10min ). A bit costly but the curry crab is fantastic best ever taste before. The steam prawn also is very fresh. Oster is not cheap there though ~ 200B for 2x.

Sun Luan Night Bazaar is a must before it close down. There are life band and roof area where you can enjoy soccer TV. Becareful of promoter that promote foreign beer as there are expensive ~200B. Ask for Singha which is ard 20B a very big different. Bargain is a must in thailand, Sun Luan is no exception. Cut 60% if you can else travel a bit far to Pratunam Night Market which start at 4pm, Do not buy from Boiyoke Plaza as those are for reseller ( they buy in large quantity ) So, just wait at ard 5-6pm and item will be cheaper by 50%. Note. Pratunam is a bit far from tourist area and BTS skytrain ~15min walk.

Sight Seeing for Floating Market is good also, long tail boat and sampan ride is definately a life time experiences. Item are cheap there for fruit, food and noodles etc. However, souvenier is not that cheap.

Then, we move to Elephant Ride which is near the long tail boat pier, 500B per pax and free for children is great. 2x round in the bush and across a human made canal. Free drink after that.

Next stop, Snake Farm. Entry is cheap 50bath and not much snake though but you get a free show from the 3x sifu very entertaining.

And before headed to Samphan Zoo we stop at Royal Craft Center to get some wood craft stuff.

At about 45min we arrive at the zoo and headed direct to Restaurant for Buffer Lunch then enter the elephant show, the junior jumbo is like children very agile and there is a World Cup 2007 show too.

At the same zoo we visit the crocodile farm where 2x gentlemen perform a very dangerous show by putting the hand , head into the mouth of crocodile.

On the way back, we stop by the Gem Gallery International ( which is s scam ). The promoter can speak mandarin pretty well. i told my wife not to buy as this is not a right place. But she keep attrack her to various jewelly etc. Finally, ipull her out and waited at the exit. FYI, we will get a free ride back to hotel or town. we did not took it as waited for too long ~ 45min.

Took a cab back to hotel.

Next day take a cab to Grand Palace and walk to Wat Po ( ~ 2Km away ) Then , took a boat at Tha Tien Pier8 to Wat Arun.

Learn a lesson, do not go there if you can, stress it to your tour guide.

afterall the entire trip is a pleasant one. with good food, place and ppl.
