BANGKOK, Thailand (Thread 8)

[ohcmon]

^^ Nakatulog na 'ko sa Suvarnabhumi, sis. Safe naman. Maraming backpackers na dun natutulog everyday (punas punas na lang sila sa CR) kaya normal lang na matulog sa airport.

Mga sis, kung may extra time kayo to travel, punta kayong Chiang Mai. I stayed there for a couple of months early this year, at mas nagustuhan ko dun kesa sa BKK. Mas malamig kasi, the people are much nicer (madalas ako nasusungitan ng mga tindero sa BKK, gusto nila considered sold 'pag hinakawan mga paninda ), and definitely mas mura ang mga bilihin. Marami ring tourist spots. From BKK, around 12 hrs yata 'yung travel by bus tapos around 600 baht lang pamasahe.

^ matagal ko na target yang Chiang Mai, lagi lang di natutuloy.. Phuket at Pattaya pa lang natuloy, so far.  hopefully next year makapag Chiang Mai na.. pero baka mag-budget airline kami from Bangkok. Unless merong bus na maluwag ang legroom for the husband..

[creamypeach]

May nakapag try naba po sa inyo ng red-eye flight to-and-from Bangkok? May nakapag try naba po matulog sa airport? Safe ba? hehe

^where do you plan to stay sis?

Sis, Bangkok City Hotel. 

So far good reviews naman dito and on trip advisor.  Affordable and walking distance sa BTS/Malls. 

Im a bit apprehensive about taking the cab upon our midnight arrival to our hotel since all female kami.

[Shiecg]

^ hi sis kho_leen, i never felt unsafe taking a cab from the airport kahit midnight pa, siguro print out ka nalang ng hotel name and address on their language para mas madaling mahanap at maintindihan ka ng driver, 5times na ako naka punta ng BKK and laging midnight ang dating ko din, one time nga as in mag isa lang ako nag travel, no bad experience sa taxi at all :-)

[Scubadoobidoo]

Safe ang cabs sa bkk. Pinaka sulit na hotel to stay for me is Ecotel pratunam. Right smack in the middle of the shopping district. When me and my wife went there hindi kami naka tikim ng BTS kasi lahat walking distance. Going to the airport is easy since may skytrain a block away going straight to the airport. 80baht each lang ata if im not mistaken. 5 days namin sa ecotel we spent 6,400 php total kasama na buffet breakfast. Once lang kami nag taxi kasi punta kami patpong. Pauwi from pat pong tuktuk. 2 sky trains. And one private car for our tour. Total gastos 40k php (airfare, hotel, shopping galore, private tour, ziplining and food)

[kenoy]

^scubadoobodoo mukang okay nga sa ecotel! possible pa kayang maging available yung rooms nila sa website? buong november onwars kasi di na available? saan kayo nagzipline? how long is it? salamat

Sis, 70% off ba ang stores sa siam paragon?  I'm excited.  Its our first stop on tuesday.

[Filipinasadhart]

excited na ko magshopping sa BKK first timer...  so i can buy some stuff.

[Filipinasadhart]

@ gorgeousmama, san mall ko matatagpuan yun zara, H&M and mango? sa Zen Mall din ba or sa Platinum Mall? Thanks

[diamondsinthesky]

^Siam Paragon carries H&M, Zara and Mango. The latter two can be also found in Central World Plaza.

[Shiecg]

^ madali lang naman sis maiwasan yang mga scammer basta say politely lang sa mga offers nila, kasi nong 1st time ko ganon din ngyari sa akin, sabi nila close pa daw yong temple na gusto kung puntahan sabi nya gusto nyo po don muna kayo magpalipas oras sa shop na may mga sales na jewelries habang naghihintay tayo ng opening hours daw ng temple na yon, un pala mangungumisyon lang yon sila pag na kumbinse kang bumili don sa mga souvenir shops na pagdadalhan nila sa iyo, buti nalang wala ako pambili haha. :-)

[kenoy]

guys do you know a decent accommodation na may 1 double bed and one single bed in a room? usually kasi ng nakikita ko double bed lang. baka kasi yung ibigay nilang extrabed yung parang folded lang. please patulong naman. salamat

[twinks]

may nakapag try na ba ng pattaya day tour ? ok ba sya or nakakapagod lang.. thanks

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ na-try ko na, Pattaya with Coral Island (dun kami nag-swimming). Di naman nakakapagod, though me hatid/sundo kasi kami, di kami na-commute. nag-book kami ng van kasi 4pax kami nun.
