I will travel BKK next month for my 4D3N vacation & book the hotel (actually is service apartment) at Sukhumvit very near Nana Station.

I have plan to go few place & need your advise:-

1.) Siam Ocean World-What is the ticket price? i go it web say 750bath/person, so expensive if compare klcc only RM30.

2.) Snake Farm- Dont know how to go? Nice ah?

3.) Crocodile Farm-Dont know how to go? Nice ah?

4.) Floating Market-Alot ppl say very interesting for this market, but it will take me atleast half day time, so decide not to go & will try next time.

5.) Grand Palace-Take taxi or river boat? (I think river boat will give me difference sight of bangkok). Afternoon on Khao San road got any interesting activities or any nice food & restoran?

6.) Chatuchak & Suan Lum-Which place the price more cheap ah? Since alot ppl say Chatuchak very crowd & hot / Suan Lum Market is it better?

7.) Show for Siam Niramit-RM100++/ticket. Not cheap. But i & my wife like a culture show so plan to go. The Cabaret show (Calypso) ok ah? all is ladyboy oh.

8.) Any pub or restaurant recomment on Sukhumvit area. (not disco)

Few year ago i went BKK & Pattaya with travel agency & i can say not much attraction on the tours (suck). Everyday bring us go to buy this buy that (expensive than Malaysia) & when help us buy tickets for optional show & go go bar also rise the price of ticket (suck).

Sumkumvit area is abit quiet durind daytime..The lively part of Sumkhumvit is located around Nana Station i.e surrounding Soi3, Soi4 (Opposite side), Soi 5, & Soi7..There lotsa of pubs & bars around Soi 4 & Soi3...& both side of the roads, lotsa road side souvenirs peddlers..making the area lively..BUT be warned, dun go during daytime..It's like ghost town during daytime..

haha ghost town biggrin.gif I jz book a hotel near Nana Station. I jz worry at nite time, all noisy & disco sound make me can't sleep well.

BTW how much should be bargain on Chatuchak Market ah (50% or more)? If chatuchak can bargain 50% then Suan Lum have to bargain more than 50% lol tongue.gif

I search on internet got some package offer to Floating Market + Crocodile Farm + Elephant Show cost THB1,000. Is it worth?

Back from Bangkok last week. The stuff on Bangkok not cheap, price are similar to M'sia. But at JJ can find some very cheap thing, better go on morning or evening. The food also nice, dont go to stall which alot foreigner, go to alot local people 1. If you leave there around 6pm, can go the JJ park (the way back LRT).

Dim sum at Mr.Meng (MBK) are delicious not so expensive, i had never get this kind of fresh dim sum at M'sia hotel or restaurant. The dim sum quite small if compare to M'sia 1, but really nice & fresh, we spend less than 300bath can have a dinner. Sure will go back on next visit Bangkok.

Just my some opinion:-

Suan Lum Market-Go there to window shopping, the price just same as Malaysia.

Chatuchak-Good place to buy thing & eat. Cheap. We buy alot of stuff on there, but you still have to find the section which sell the stuff very cheap. There is a eating paradise. After a day of shopping in JJ, i think your energy will fully utilise already.

Gem factory-Waste your time, better sleep at hotel. Thailand not a country to export gem. If you go South Affica, what you pay can buy a package instead of low quality gem + 18k gold. (Now, people alway buy 916 or 999 gold)

Grand Palace, Floating Market-Must go. Try Chao Phraya River & canal.

Shows-Some of the thailand culture show are worth to see also (Siam Niramit).
