Thailand (Thread 6)

^^^$70 for 3 nights inclusive of breakfast, roundtrip airport transfer and half day tour If you plan to do a LOT of shopping I suggest get this hotel para if pagod na or madame na kayo dala, madali lang bumalik hotel

For me lahat sulit! hehe
I got belts (kamuka ng mga nasa dorothy perkins na belts) at 50baht each (wholesale sympre I got a lot hehe) and for me sulit lahat ng clothes na nabili ko. Too bad lang di namen alam na may separate bldg pala ang shoes and bags sa platinum  Di tuloy kame naka bili shoes.

Kung sa pratunam market ka mamili, prices of clothes there are at least 100 baht cheaper than platinum so I suggest check out pratunam first hehe madali lang naman balikan since malapit lang siya sa platinum.

Oh its best to go with a friend when shopping. Hehe since wholesale ang benta, para makatipid kayo

I also got a bag (same with my mango sling bag) same material same design same lahat for 350 baht lang  I also got a casio watch for 1000baht. Benta dito manila 4k++

[khaesj]

Sa platinum pala sis, the higher the floor the cheaper the price ng isang specific item (i.e. top, shorts)

Napansin namen to ng friend ko nun may nakita siyang shorts sa 1st floor priced at 450baht. Pag akyat namen ng 3rd/2nd floor, the same exact pair of shorts was sold at 250 baht. Pero sympre mas madame maganda sa 1st floor

hi sis khaesj question lang, yung $70 for 2 persons na ba yun? or for 1 lang? also, directly sa website ka ba nagpabook? tried to mock book via their website pero twice the price and walang nakalagay about the airport transfer and half day city tour. i'll be in BKK this May kasi. thanks!

[khaesj]

For 1 person lang yun sis ($70 the whole stay na yun)

I booked via best buy travel and tours (google them na lang). They own the hotel daw sabi ng friend ko. You could just call/email them for bookings. 

[ianne16]

noted sis khaesj, i'll email them. thanks!

[ianne16]

sis khaesj, one question pa pala.  ano ano yung pinuntahan niyo during the city tour? they replied fast but when i asked kung ano kasama sa itinerary ng city tour, hindi na sila sumagot. thanks again! 

[lakwatsa]

thanks sis khaesj, sarap naman magshopping! teka ano nabili mo sa Chatuchak? plan din kasi namin pumunta dun. Friday ng gabi kasi arrival namin. so kinabukasan e saktong Chatuchak agad. yun mga sumunod na araw di ko pa sure ano gagawin haha!

[esor]

sis khaesj , yep ako yung sa Korea thread na SJ fan ^^

nag inquire na nga din ako sa best buy
target din namin ang shopping kaya Four Seasons din kami mag sstay
thanks sa info sis

[khaesj]

ianne16: We went to the temple of the dawn and sa isa pang temple, standing buddha yata? I forgot hehe (yun pagpunta sa second temple pinag ferry/boat kame pa cross sa kabilang side kung san kame sinundo nung van, it was in front of the grand palace). Then we went to a jewelry factory. Dapat leather factory pa after but the tour guide asked if we still want to go to the last stop sabi namen no na kasi lunch time na at gutom na kame.  Tas hinatid na kame ulit sa hotel after nun

Lakwatsa: Okay ang loser namen di kame nag chatuchak kasi di namen kaya yun init. Haha yun lakad pa lang going to platinum at ikot ikot sa pratunam di na namen kinaya ang init so di na kame nag chatuchak. We met some pinoys in the hotel na nag chatuchak, sabi onting difference lang naman sa price ng clothes sa chatuchak and platinum. Mas mura lang daw souvenirs (keychain, magnet etc) sa chatuchak. Even my friend who went to BKK last month told me for clothes go to platinum and for souvenirs go to chatuchak daw  Btw, chatuchak is 20 mins away (via tuktuk ride from the hotel). Yun friends ko nag tuktuk siningil sila 150baht 

esor: Hi sis wala lang gusto ko lang share na kaya ako nag BKK was to watch the SJ concert HAHAHA

[esor]

sis khaesj, wow naman ^^
truly ELF talaga ah 

Yung half day tour ng Four Seasons di kasama yung Grand Palace, W*t Pho & W*t Arun di ba?

[khaesj]

esor: Yes sis true ELF talaga. Haha dame ko pinagdaanan dun para lang makapag fangirl, from riding a bus going home at 12mn after the concert without knowing where the bus is going lol (di ko to ginagawa dito sa Pilipinas haha) at ang pagtatakbo sa airport just to see SJ lol.

Yun temple of the dawn sis yun yung W*t Arun Yun grand palace di kasama, may bayad kasi yun entrance. Around 400-500 baht. Can't remember the exact price. Di na kame pumasok kasi di naman namen type ng friend ko ang temples.

BTW, if you go to W*t Arun, I suggest akyatin niyo hanggang sa taas. Hehe meron kasi parang wall dun sa taas wherein you can write your name and make a wish na din  You can also ask naman the tour guide if you want to extend the tour tapos ooffer-an ka nila ng packages. Look for chocolate (a short chubby tour guide hhee he works at the 4 seasons intl. house)  he will offer you very affordable tour rates

[esor]

medyo OT na ang SJ fan girling natin dito You're so lucky to see them ^^ (inggit ako)

Thanks ulit for the infos, may kasama naman pala dun sa tour na Temple.
Yung 3 temples kasi talaga target namin ^^ Anyways sa June pa naman alis namin.

hi sis khaesj, ask ko lang po if may tour package din sila going to floating market? thanks!

[pooka08]

My fam is planning to go to BKK next month. biglaan lang. Cebupac na ba ang may lowest fare dun? it's 16k/person. Tapos sa Agoda nalang ako naghanap ng hotel. 2k/night. kaso wala pang airport transfer.

Mas ok ba mag shopping sa BKK kesa Vietnam?

Hi sis,

Sabihin mo lang sa cab na Khao San. Na-try ko na yan, no idea ako noon at mag-isa. Sinabi ko lang Khao San, binaba na niya ako sa umpisa nung street tapos naglakad lakad nako dun.

[khaesj]

Anne101 Yes they have I can't remember the exact price, pero nun nag inquire ako sa tour guide 1 day trip daw yan Then may 2 options, bus going there then bus going back, or bus going there then ferry pabalik. 

[Anne101]

khaesj, thank you so much for the info. check ko na lang din sa kanila.
