Besides Ayutthaya, any township near to Bangkok I can travel to? Probably the place can be reached by taking short domestic flight. Any suggestion?

learn to cook tom yum? haha...

where got muay thai one day intensive training class?

Thanks for the suggestion. I might include The Rose Garden in Nahkom Pathom in my itinerary.

If I want to squeeze the trip to Nahkom Pathom and Kanchanaburi on the same day does it sound possible? What's the better public transportation to go there? By train or bus?

Is there any festive event in July? Where can I witness the ceremony or event?

i came back from BKK. seems like most of the shops in Pratunam have closed down.

huh? where is main street? from central world/ isetan, cross the bridge, then walk straight and cross river and cross a road. that pratunam center.

not sure is which one. haha...

alamak.. celaka then i went to the wrong place lioa lah... ish

Just take BTS and stop at Saphan Thaksin station which is linked to Sathorn pier for Chao Praya river taxi. If you want to go to Grand Palace, you can stop at Tha Chang pier. For Wat Pho, stop at Tha Tien pier. For Wat Arun, also stop at Tha Tien pier then take another boat to cross the river at THB 30 one way only.

If you are not sure, you can always ask at the information kiosk at Saphan Thaksin BTS station. Pretty helpful.

Hi, I wrote about my Thailand trip experience at my blog. So far, just completed Calypso Cabaret and Kanchanaburi tour. Will write more when I have time. Feel free to visit.

I did't go to Chinatown. But from my reading before my BKK trip, you can have cheap bird nest/shark fins soup/seafood there. Also night market.

Friday 25th Sep
I dun think there is a floating market nearby Wat Arun. Are you referring to Tailing Chan? To go to Wat Arun/ Wat Pho, take BTS skytrain and stop at Saphan Thaksin station then hop on to a river taxi at Sathorn pier and stop at Tha Tien station. Take another boat to cross the river to Wat Arun.

Saturday 26th Sep
I would suggest BTS Mo Chit then walk to Chatuchak.

Many people try out pork burger at McD or pork ribs at Tony Roma because they are not available in Malaysia. If you opt for food court in the mall, you can go to MBK 6th floor or Siam Paragon G floor. You can try Fuji restaurant for cheaper bento set if you like Japanese food also. If you like seafood, can try out Somboon Seafood.

Front page should be helpful for you.

Hi. I'm interested to travel from KL - BKK - Sukhothai - Chiang Mai - KL.

Any recommendation on the budget airlines that I can take for the connecting flights? Should I stop at Sukhothai or Phitsanulok?
