Just passed by it lunch time today, looks like there's lots of signs up saying that it will be closed but the truth is it will stay open for some time, until the court ruling says otherwise [it will be a long and painful fight], and of course, an 'accident' big fire in the near future will make the decision much faster for the land owner/court.

like that not so good wor.....but I hope when I am there, still open la, a nice place to go at night ma....

anyway any suggestions for me to feel the real Thai life ah? I went to BKK for many times already, now trying to go those non-tourist spots to feel the real life...... wink.gif

if I were you, and want to see the real thailand, i'll go upcountry [i.e. out of bangkok]. And not to the islands nor Chiang Mai either. Northeast perhaps? Eastern provinces? Ayutthaya/Sukhothai maybe?
a lot of places I never heard before, thanks a lot for the tips, this time I will only go Bangkok, want to fully explored Bangkok then only go up north...... thumbup.gif

if you want to be based in Bangkok, two things you can do:

1. Siam Niramit show is in Ratchada road, across from Robinsons. Check out www.siamniramit.com - it's live stage show - think real elephants on stage and rain/thunderstorm on stage - a lot of Thais want to see it to get in touch with their own culture/history. But it's not cheap.
2. Muang Boran/Ancient City is a day trip from Bangkok - most tour operators can hook you up. This place is huge and can only be covered in a car/van. http://www.ancientcity.com/muangboran/index.htm It's a bit like covering all of thailand in one day !

Cover Thailand in one day, wow, got enough time, very interesting places.....tongue.gif Thanks!

b) the MBK shopping complex, is it in the same area as Siam Square/Siam centre which is accessible thru Siam Station rite? Coz from the different replies i got, it is accessible thru National Stadium?
I only can help u with this q, MBK is just opposite Siam Square/Siam Discovery Centre. It is also accesible thru National Stadium, cos there are 2 station which is very near to each other. Central Siam Station is a main interchange of all the lines, u can go to Siam Square/Siam Center from that station. You can refer to the link below and get a clearer picture.

You can walk to MBK from Siam Square, just cross the road only, or u can take the train if u are lazy to walk, there is an exist to MBK once u get out from the train.......

BTS or MRT there are way more convenient than any public transport in KL tongue.gif Don't worry......enjoy ur holidays there biggrin.gif

ok, i've been looking at reviews of hotels and hostels for a almost a month already....but still haven't decided on which one, it's difficult, because the reviews are all mixed (good and bad)

please help me decide, budget is about 1000 Baht per night for a couple, staying for 4D3N, i've been looking at sukhumvit area (is this a nice area to stay??) we're planning to go see those touristy places, wat pho, grand palace, chatuchak mkt....all that. another would be close to bts/metro station, food around the hotel, massage....anything fun and cheap.  thumbup.gif

recommended hotels/hostels?? anyone?

Bangkok Central Hotel, which is very near to China Town, not even 5 mins walk to the MRT station, it is just in front of the hotel, and also very near to the Railway Station. If u book online, the price is about 1000-1200 baht or lower for a double room. Very convenient hotel but don't expect too much from that price range....smile.gif

i see, since u are staying over the weekend, the must go place is the ChatuchaK Market, lots of shopping and food there.
you can also plan for some out of Bangkok trip, eg floating market, River Kwai, Ayuthaya, tiger temple.....etc
A lot of nice mall around Bangkok for shopping and food, Central World, Paragon, Siam Center, MBK. China town is good for food at night, Khaosan is backpacker's paradise.....Transportation there is easy, even cab is cheap if you want to travel far, but with condition no traffic jam, overall a nice place to visit and weather should be good during Oct, enjoy your holidays! tongue.gif
