Just for convenience. It's not exactly a map just showing all the stations.

Recommended to go to the floating market in Pattaya. Very touristy and expensive entrance fees but quite worth it. Will blog about it...soon tongue.gif

What about if you missed the station, disembark at the further station, causing your ticket been overcharged, resulting in negative balance? This happens when you ride LRT using a single trip token here, and fare to every station is different.
*
Yeah negative balance. will deduct when you top up again.

ok thanks.

I think will try to go there early, like around 9am, then leave around 12pm to avoid hot sun.

Don't think your mum will appreciate Chatuchak. Alternatively you can visit the night market next to Chatuchak.

Its a bit too long IMO. It can get pretty boring real quick unless you want to take a really slow look see/stroll in every part of Bangkok.

Maybe you can try hit Ayutthaya, it can be done in a day. A trip there if driving oneself takes around 1 hour plus abit if traffic is good.

If you like beach, Pattaya is another choice, note that it is extremely touristy and night life sort of place.

Bang Saen is another good beach. Not sure about public transportation as i drove there myself, but there should be plenty of van that will go there.
*
Massage is very cheap in Pattaya though. I didn't even patronise any shops in Bangkok after coming back from Pattaya lol

How much they charge down there ? lol

Where i live they charge 35 baht for 2 hour, somewhere in Samut Prakan.

Is it me or man there is plenty of sketchy looking Africans these days along Sukhumvit, roughly around Soi 1x . One no need to guess much what they are selling here judging by how they look.
*
Between 180 to 200 per hour. And all the shops look super fancy one.

35 baht??? or 350 baht? shocking.gif doesn't look very close to the main city centre though

35 baht for 2 hour maybe available back in the 1960's

And what are some of the most recommended massage places in Bangkok?

Looking for value rather than luxurious places tongue.gif
