Suggest you don't take it. The jam is pretty bad from 3pm onwards until 8pm. I once stuck in a jam with uber for more than an hour cause my friend want to save time to walk a 15 minutes distance mall.

why would u need a taxi for a full day...going where?

Travelling with young kids so was thinking it might be easier to get around. If jam is bad then no point. Thanks all.

Will limit to locations nearby BTS.

If you are going out of town, say Hua Hin or somewhere outskirt then yes. Get a car would be a wise choice. If is only around Bangkok, then I suggest you don't take it. Parking is an issue, price also an issue.

BTS pretty much cover some of the important places like Siam Square. From there you can walk to Platinum fashion store, Central World, Big-C and few other malls. Can always take tuk-tuk to Pratunam weekend market or Asiatique. Use the power of Grab/Uber. Save the hassle.

If you were travelling with kids, i prefer you get a charter taxi.

Trust me, if you get a right taxi driver, they will suggest you a prefect itinerary that you wouldn't stuck in a traffic jam.

First of all, you need to tell the driver, where you plan to go, then ask him for opinion and he will arrange everything for you.

Price? It's cheap if you ask me... i travel with kids also and sometimes with my parents (both 70++) and i will go for my regular driver in Bangkok. No need to walk here walk there...get to B TS, then MRT and flagging down a taxi...wasted too much time if you ask me.

Kids less grumpy is always a prefect holiday! <--- Remember this!

sifus sekalian,

issit possible to exchange RM to THB in bangkok currency exchange centers ?

thanks..

Quick question, if I were to bring an additional phone and buy the Thai Sim card, put into that phone then use it to open hotspot. Then I use my current phone to connect to that hotspot, should be no issue right ?

I'm very busy in my WhatsApp in my current phone so that's why I can't change out the sim card .....

Yes no issues, can be connect with hostspot

Even you change the SIM card, you still able to reply whatapps from your current number too, just you don't update the Thai number for whatapps once you first open the whatapps after change Thai SIM card, use as initial number

ahh ok thanks a lot !

Yes, just need an IC or passport.

thanks...!
