If you travel next month then should be good to go I would say

Currently looking for this Year Dec air ticket which is no cheap at all, about RM550-RM650... sad.gif

I got my tickets on next year May, RM27x.xx during promotion

Depends on when you travel. Many tickets RM 212 only next month but weird traveling days.

Check out Thai Airways.. recently they are having promo of return tix for RM 375 (incl tax). I check for Dec and the price was RM 425 nett. Really cheap for thai airways, never see their price below RM 500 b4.

Hi there

I plan to visit bangkok around mid july for 5-6 days
my plan is 2 days platinum shopping,
1-2 days mbk center,
1 day night market and super c market,
lastly one day to visit a nearby temple.

I plan on staying near the platinum mall hotels.

My questions are as follows.

Is it better for me to ask the apartment contact to arrange a taxi for me and my 2 friends or to use the airport taxi ?

Should I use grab or tuktuks as a mode of transport / travelling. I do plan on doing amazing shopping for both clothes , shoes , items , gifts and food. So my idea would be to walk there and then use either one of the two to get back.

Is MBK and Platinum the same? One colleague pushes for MBK while friends push for Platinum

Lastly i'll be staying in ratchathewi so is there anything good to visit culturally?

Thanks

imo, you're spending too much time on malls. you should spend more time on markets like what darren has said.

i've never shopped at MBK so i can't comment on that, but don't put too much expectations on Platinum.
