BANGKOK, Thailand (Thread 8)

[janesjane]

^ ok naman IT mo, sis.

Yung Day2 pala, you can start ng medyo late, say 9 or 9:30am. Kasi mabilis lang sa temples e. Tsaka after Grand Palace, W.atPo na muna kasi around the block lang yun from Grand Palace. Tsaka na kayo punta sa boat station to cross to Arun. From Arun, cross again to the other side, then take another boat going to Sathorn Station. 5pm or 5:30pm pa yata yung start ng boat shuttle ng Asiatique e.

salamat sis

Bale sis ang dating namin is Sep 13 around 11pm na sa bangkok. so kinabukasan na kame makakagala.

Day 1 - Cooking Class sa morning
          - After ng cooking class,eto nagiisip pa kame ng ppuntahan. any suggestions? tee hee!
          - sa gabi naman, yung Chatuchak. night market di ba yun sis? at eto ba ang best night market bangkok?
         
Day 2 - Temple ( Grand Place, W. Arun, W. pho ) Kaya ba ng 3 temples in half day?  di naman kame magtatagal talaga sa each temple
         -  Saan ba yung Terminal 21?
         -  Iniisip namin kung tutuloy pa kame sa elephant village at dun sa floating market. medyo kalayuan pala yun.
         - Ok ba sis sa asiatique? ano meron dun?

Day 3 -  Flight back na.


Thanks sis! Any suggestions will be highly appreciated! haha! salamuch!

Sis, ngayon ko lang nabasa tong post mo..

For Day1, I suggest after cooking class e punta na kayo Chatuchak (BTS Mo Chit station). Until 6pm lang yata yun e. And medyo mahirap mamili dun pag padilim na, IMO. Sa gabi, you can go to Asiatique, or to Silom.

For Day2, yes kaya ang 3 temples ng half-day. Then you go to floating market and elephant village sa hapon. Then you can have dinner sa food court ng Terminal 21 (BTS Asok or MRT Sukhumvit), mura at masarap din.

Hi po

Question lang, ok din ba mag travel ng last week of july sa bangkok? may na book po kase ako e. nakita ko nga lang rainy season. hehe.

TIA!

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ sis, I was there around 3rd week of July this year. Ok lang naman, though usually maulan pag hapon. Pero di naman super-lakas. Pwede patilain, tambay lang ako sandali sa malls or sa MBK. Or if you want, you can bring a folding umbrella or a light raincoat.

Thank you sis bagaholic_chewy 

[Filipinasadhart]

@ bagaholic_chewy, Thank you. Excited na ko pumunta ng chatuchak market at mga malls sa bangkok.

[traveltechie]

Anyone here na nakapagstay na sa Furama Silom Hotel? We are booked at this hotel for our October trip to BKK, hoping to get feedback sana. We can cancel and change pa naman until Sept. 25 i think.

How safe sa bangkok? Meron din ba dun na snatcher? Like sa atin, bigla nalang manghahablot ng cellphone,jewelleries etc?

^sept29-oct2

sis same tayo ng travel date sept 20-oct3 namin kami ni mother. Sa ten star inn naman kami magstay para malapit sa market and platinum mall.

[bagaholic_chewy]

^^ safer than Manila.. nakakapag-open bag naman ako dun (for example: Neverfull and the like), kahit commute lang. And I can roam around mag-isa kahit gabi. As for snatching, wala pa naman ako personal experience or knowledge about an incident. But of course, pag nasa matao and touristy areas, kelangan pa din ng ingat. Better use zippered or sling bag para mas madali I-secure sa siksikan. Iwas-dukot din. When I travel kasi, kahit saan pa, I refrain from wearing expensive necklaces & bracelets. Iwas-temptation for snatchers, if meron man. But I still wear a watch, and my wedding ring na me diamonds, and stud earrings.

Things to be wary of, IMO are:
- tuktuk drivers and touts saying na sarado ang temples (kahit open naman, like Grand Palace and W.at Po) then mago-offer to take you to another temple for a cheap price. Pero yun, iikot sa mga gem and souvenir shops na me commission sila. Di ko pa naexperience, pero nangyari sa ibang friends. Safe naman, yun lang, sayang sa oras. 2-3hrs din siguro masasayang..
- taxi drivers in tourist areas na nangongontrata, especially sa may Grand Palace & MBK areas. Me mga nakaaway na ako drivers dahil dito. Minsan pumapayag ako, minsan bumababa ako tapos di ko sinasara passenger door, hehe.. kung magtataxi, better if you have an idea kung san dapat ang route (check google maps), para pwede mo masita if feeling mo iniikot ka.
- cover fees and hidden charges sa mga girly bars sa Patpong. (Haven't gone there, kasi di ko talaga feel. But sila husband nagpunta dun with other guy friends.). To entice customers, sasabihin kunyari thb100 entrance lang, kasama na show. Tapos papaorderin ng drinks na overpriced (at walang price sa menu so gulatan portion sa bayaran, hehe).

Other than those I posted above, parang wala na ako maisip na iba.. and that's after several trips na in Bangkok.
