Bangkok, Thailand (thread 9)

[kittycat228]

Taxi lang kami, sis. Usually 350 baht inabot nung cab namin, then may dagdag sya na 50. Pratunam area din.

thanks sis. Wala bang bus or mtr from the airport?

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ merong Airport Express (train) to/from airport to the city (interchange with BTS sa Phaya Thai station). Though di ko alam how much since di ko pa na-try personally. Perhaps the details are in the airport website, you can check it out. But if 2-3 kayo, sulit na din ang taxi. Thb400-600 including toll fees and airport surcharge na 50, depends sa traffic and location ng hotel nyo.

ilan po ba ang capacity ng taxi kasya po ba ang 4 adults

how much usually ang food sa thailand?

Ok lang 4pax sa taxi basta hindi to/from airport (walang mga maleta). If from airport, you can just get the vans from the airport, fixed rate, ranges from thb900-1200, depends sa type ng vehicle. Can fit up to 8-9pax.

how much usually ang food sa thailand?

Pag sa mall food court, like in Terminal 21, busog na sa thb150/pax, me dessert and drinks na yun.

[tinapay]

actually sa southern thailand ang byahe ko   para lang magka-idea ko sa rate ng food sa city, hehe.  sa mga medyo high end restaurants kaya magkano food rate? may thb500 per viand ba?

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ high-end could range from thb300-500 per dish siguro. If you're going to Phuket, di naman din ganun kamahal food dun, siguro sa usual casual resto, nasa thb200-300/pax ok na.

[tinapay]

^ah ok. sa may Koh Lanta/Krabi kami e. kanina pa ko naghahanap ng rate ng mga food dun, puro reviews lang. anyway, thank you so much sis!

Sis ano ba ang dress code sa ayutthaya at grand palace? Di ba pwedeng mag skirt ng above the knee pero di naman fitted? For theboys naman bawal bang mag cardo shorts? pati ba foot wear strict sila?

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ generally sa temples, di pwede ang labas ang shoulders and above the knee shorts/skirts. Meron sila pinapahiram na sarong just in case. Ok lang ang walking/cargo shorts for guys. Not strict sa footwear, and for some temples you may need to take off your footwear to go inside (like in Emerald Buddha, and the temple in Ayutthaya na di ko maalala name).

[kenoy]

Sis sa grand palace even if ur not inside the temple itself you need to wear the sarong?

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ I'm not sure as I don't wear above-the-knee when I go there since alam kong di pwede. Usually I wear capri pants. Ayoko din kasi gumamit nung sarong nila since di ako sure sa cleanliness nun and kung sino-sino na ang gumamit. My friends naman who wear sleeveless blouses e nagbabaon ng light cardigan para magamit nila sa mga places na bawal labas shoulders,  instead of yung pinapahiram na cover-up.

Sis, medyo maluwag yung Day 2 and 3 mo, while haka magahol ka naman sa Day 4.

I suggest, you can do some malling or shopping on Day 2, after temples, pwedeng Terminal 21 since sya yung medyo out of the way sa Siam malls.. Asiatique naman opens ng 5pm pa.

As for Day 3, pwede ka na mag-MBK after Jim Thompson House, magkalapit na lang sila, lakad lang.. Para di rin super-tight ng Day 4 mo.
