I am not sure about this. But as per my information, the palace and temple inside is closed for 15 days.

Should be close, as you can watch the ceremony live on TV everynight on ThaiPBS and a few other channel. If not wrong their YouTube channel also can watch.

Thai like to close down and bring everything to halt when it involves royalty.

I absolutely hate it when they shut down a 6 lane highway (not for long around 20-30min plus) so that someone from the royalty can go and return from airport.

thai airway promo 375 return, good till sept 2017

grand palace and wat phra kaew will continue to be closed until 31th october

can share the link? thanks.

share link pls..cant find

Not sure with highways la bro, but entertainment was usual when I was there.

Oh, they also played a tribute in the movie theater. So must stand up.

I always kena 6 lane block at motorway (sort of like their version of MRR2) from suvarnabhumi airport where u pass lat krabang. It is one of the route i use to go home if the jam is horrible on tang luan.

Yup there is always a short tribute about the king all the time in thai cinema before the actual show start. Need to listen to a song about him.

Anyone who is in the big mango now hope you all are having a good time. I am not sure about the drinking/entertainment place in Soi Cowboy/Nana but the Thai spot outside of Sukhumvit has return to normal.

pls give link. tried booking on thai airways website, under Saver category also at least RM400 one way loh. Thai airways has never been cheap.

Hi All. Any places to recommend in BKK if I would like to buy watch ? G-Shock, Seiko, Timex, Orient ? ...

Malindo air ticket RM 17 but after include taxes and everything RM 280+

Hi all BKK freuquent travelers , any nice recommendation places to visit for lone traveler like me ?? as i am going down there next month

e.g new malls / eatery / restaurants /etc

Hi, guys. We are going Bkk this end november. Khao Yai is a must visit place. Any travel agent which is cheap can recommend? We will spend 6d/5n in this trip. 4d3n will be at Ayuthaya (1n) & Khao Yai (2n). The rest will be at Bkk. Any Suggestion?

if you are going to Ayutthaya and planning to go the "fake" floating market, remember when u near the gate where u need to pay ticket to enter just keep quiet and dont talk among yourself.

They will thought you are Thai and can avoid paying 200 baht. Only non Thai national need to pay(written in Thai). When questioned a reply in Thai usually solve the problem

A good friend who visit recently was stopped at the gates and ask to pay 200 baht for entry ticket. They give themself away by talking too loud

200 baht get u a free boat ride around the rather small and disappointing man made like "canal"

If you do understand Thai fluently there is a free open air theater show about a war during the kingdom of Ayutthaya.

Some of the ruin you need to pay entry ticket, same thing again Thai national pay much lesser and some are free for them.

Further up north in Ang Thong u can check out the biggest Buddha figure in thailand and dozens of figurine that portray hell if that is your type of thing. Ayutthaya is a place you can actually drive to from Bangkok, not far around 1 and a half hour, and there is a premium outlet along the way. The ruin looks good during the night some of them have beautiful lights.

Khao Yai is just a village small town and you can check out the various farm or "organic farm" there. Unless you are talking about the national park.

Aiyohh pork Lego guy lohh. I took Uber from Terminal 21 back to Baiyoke Sky Hotel at 5.15pm (Bangkok time). UNTIL NOW (6.50pm Bangkok time) STILL STUCK IN THE BLOODY TRAFFIC JAM!!!

A 75 baht trip (according to Uber estimation) now I think will become 300+ baht liao.

So guys, if you are in Sukhumvit or Asoke area and wanna go to Pratunam, PLEASE DON'T TAKE TAXI OR UBER!!! Take the BTS from Asoke station to Phaya Thai then change to Airport rail and alight at Ratchaprarop station. This will ONLY TAKE LESS THAN 30 MINUTES!!!

So khao yai worth to go?
Shall we spend 2 nights there?
Any local tour guide can recommend?

I avoid taxis like the plague

I was stuck too in the tour van after coming back from ayuthhaya 1 day trip. Jam was caused due to some ceremony in the palace for the late king. Some stretch of the road was blocked for some royal convoy.
Suppose to book other day trips but decided not as i feel this week traffic will b standstill. Got 4 more days here.... will explore using the boat n skytrain
Remember....
If you wan to move around, use bts n walk. Much faster.

I have never been to Khao Yai, the furthest i have been in Issan is Khon Kaen. It is a nice place.

I drive myself to places i wanna go that is outside of Bangkok.
