Hi guys, I will be going with my family in November.

I have most of my itineraries sorted out, but one issue have been bothering me. We are travelling in a group of 5. Transportation will be an issue as taxi maximum 4 pax right? sad.gif Any advice?

Get a hiace if you plan to travel far.
If within city vicinity, the train is good enough. if need to take taxi can split into two cars. Hailing a taxi is easy in Thailand - many on the road. smile.gif

1) uber . fixed rate 300baht , not include toll . can use new simpack to register uber , and get extra 100baht discount.

2 & 3 no idea

4) u like shopping mall ? Zen and Terminal 21 is a nice place to go . Siam centre and Siam Paragon is high end mall like Pavillion KL

1. take the bus, its cheap
2. skip grand palace, packed with PRC..but go wat pho and wat arun
there is no sky train going there, you'd have to go saphan taksin to use the chao phraya river express
3. Pee Aor Tom Yum Goong(ratchatewi station)

Thx for the recommendation.
Most probably would take uber then from airport as there is 3 of us flying to BKK and we are ariving late evening.
My friend just want to see have a look at siam paragon and chicks around there (LOL) . not really into shopping though.

Noted on grand palace wat pho and wat arun. Actually was planning to have braised pork leg at Charoen Saeng Silom.
I google and found out that its very near the mandarin oriental pier (chao praya river) .
Was thinking after a decent brunch we can go to watpho/arun/ grand palace through the jetty at mandarin oriental pier.

Will look for pee aor tom yum as well!

i sort of didnt get my itineary planned out yet as this is a suprise trip. we decided this trip just recently.
Trying to sort of some place to visit and do.

we are interested in nightlife in BKK as well.

Not going to the floating market though.

if request to use meter taxi they reluctant to take.
mostly we offer them.
eg from pratunam to ratchada: meter reading thb112 with jam. However, no use meter they want 200. Bargain to 150.
need to ask few taxi.
back seat need to squeeze 4 peoples.

Hi,

If planning to go to Hua Hin from BKK, is it better for 1 day trip or stay there for 1 night. The group is just 3 guys.

Thanks.
