QUOTE(wk_wong @ Dec 14 2007, 09:11 AM) should visit those places like floating market & grand palace, but its very commercialize la, all need to pay, im not not wrong, to enter the grand palace, u need to pay 250 bath per person, for floating market the genuine 1 is in damoensaduak(something like that), distance is like around 1hour from the hotel area i recommeded and to get on the boat, u have to pay another 1500baht! boat cruises im not sure, anyway, beside shopping and visiting their temple, and some thai massage, i think nothnig else to do there... QUOTE(stimix @ Dec 14 2007, 10:21 AM) Just to add to what WK wong mentioned about the "real" floating there (~100km from BKK)...Yes it is correct that when u reach one of the many boat operators there..they will charged crazy prices up to 2000bath!! and those guys are like gangster! I decided to turn off and asked my taxi fellow to go bck Bangkok until that gangster decided to lower the price to 900bath thanks for the comments! Still very expensive but no choice oledi comes all the way from BKK.Beware as I think the taxi fellow do get commision from those operators too. because u will be shocked if I tell u the taxi fare is only 800bath to & fro. The safest way to go there is buying some of the package tour which is about 800bath/pax (Also expensive  )Grand palace most probably gonna head there.... still thinking twice about the floating market... i guess there's no point visiting the floating market if you don't get on the boat? |

QUOTE(EnPoiNte @ Jan 7 2008, 12:13 AM) want to ask if the floating market isit worth to go? Didnt find it too exciting, but you can go if you have time to spare as it is after all one of the specialties of bangkok! |

QUOTE(DreamChaser @ Jan 8 2008, 11:02 PM) wow! what's the rate? they have some promotional rate going on at the moment.. at about 2.4k baht or about MYR$240... not sure if that is expensive by its standards in BKK, but i think its good value for money as the rooms are designed with a nice modern touch with such amenities like kitchen facilities & my personal favourite,- an alternative shower head straight down from the ceiling  Comparitively, i bunked a night at one of the suite rooms at Asia Hotel for almost double that price, and frankly it was terrible in comparison... creepy too! |
