Hi mga sis! I just booked a ticket to Thailand this coming Nov 2012 for only 3k (without baggage - pag-iisipan ko pa ilan dapat ang magiging baggage allowance ko). lol.ang tagal pa. Okay lang ba ang solo travellers sa bangkok? Or much better may kasama? Also, should I just book in a travel agency for the tours? First time ko kasi eh. TIA!

[sunnysan]

Booked tickets for me and hubby sa August. Hehe matagal pa pero excited na. This will be the 4th time I'm visiting Bangkok. Can't wait! =)

[Haley James]

hello when ba usually may offer ang cebu pacific ng promo fare sa bangkok? plan sana namin this august or october?

[yby2476]

mura talaga ang wacoal sa bkk, dun gawa yun eh...:-) 

@sis chubbycheeks-kung pupunta ka ng ayutthaya, wag ka na nang mag-[textspeak!] po sis...pareho lang...baka maumay ka sa sangkatutak na mga temples...:-) basta, pumunta ka ng ayutthaya, worth it siya...:-) ayutthaya is the old city...and UNESCO heritage siya sis...kaya worth it...let go mo na lang yung grand palace and [textspeak!] po...

[cuteapril_1215]

sis Haley James, may on-going piso fare ang Cebu Pac...check mo :-)

[sachism]

just got back from BKK last night. amazing experience! i really enjoyed the food and syempre shopping ng konti. i cant wait to go back

[theflygirl]

Started back reading. Planning a 4d/3n stay in BKK with the hubby next month. Actually nagsetup nko Ng DIY for kuala lumpur pero parang he might change his mind sa destination.

Anyway, I'm starting from scratch cos it'll be my first time in Thailand (although hubby flies there often). Ok na yung city? No floods sa tourist destinations, I guess, based on your posts.

For accommodations, we're trying to choose from The Peninsula, or Sukhothai (pwede rin Mandarin Oriental or Shang, puro riverside). Yung Sukhothai, I love their rooms based on their website images. Kaso south sathom sya unlike my other choices & it looks like there's a bit of a walk from the bts sala daeng. Hubby wants The Pen and specifically instructed me to get the rolls Royce transfer from the airport. Here I am trying to DIY then splurge pala plans Nya.

Haven't constructed our itin yet. Hope you guys can help me. We'll be flying PAL on business class so 30kg baggage alloc each (excited na ko magshopping because of all your posts! I hope the hubby doesn't get tamaritis! LOL)

Attractions we wanna see are the grand palace, temple of dawn, floating market(optional), Siam area pratunam, central world, paragon, Siam square) and chao phraya dinner cruise. We don't want to go to ayutthaya and prefer to stay in the city. Oh, and spa, spa, spa!

[mama squeak!]

^Go for the Shang! I'm bias when it comes to the Shangri-La. Aside from it's riverside location, I love their Chi Spa. The manager of the spa is a friend and an Air Force brat too like you.

How much ang round trip tickets Manila - BK? I tried kagabi, piso fair and 7k din for 2 persons? ganun po ba talaga?

[falsabraga]

Hilton? Pwede din sis. Along the river din ata ito. Yung Peninsula, parang katabi ito ng 4seasons where we stayed. Malapit sa shopping malls i didnt have to take trains. Walking galore lang.

Ooh, really? Aww, we're all set sa The Pen already...can you PM me the mgr's info, baka know ko sya   (allowed ba dito? sorry di ko sure ha) The hubby doesn't wanna let go of the Rolls Royce harhar...all other hotels offer the benz n bmws...(why not go for the private chopper transfer?! haha...mas mahal pa sa buong bakasyon namin hahaha *dreaming lang*)

@sachism-thanks for the tip. The hotels I researched around the area were the shang & mandarin (this one IMO is OA sa mahal!)...the Four Seasons is at the sukhumvit area, not riverside...I found some other hotels named "Four Seasons" but they're not of the same hotel group. Kapangalan lang but boutique hotels and they look nice, too...
