Bangkok, Thailand (thread 9)

[Prunella]

Hi. Currently staying in Bangkok. I'll be living here for a few months.   So far, peaceful naman. Loving it here.

[anjeli]

Hi sisses! Help me naman, please send me an itinerary for Bangkok. Will go there end of April, for 3-4 days. Biglaan lang kasi. Andun si fiance, susunod lang ako sa kanya. First time ko to travel mag isa to Bangkok, medyo scared ako actually. Once he has flight schedule na from his company, I will book mine na. Maybe PAL nalang kasi mas mura pa sya lumabas as compared to Cebu pac.

Sa PAL flight, tama ba, free na yung 2 luggages na check in (23kgs)? Thanks in advance!

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ the usual check-in baggage allowance is 20kg total.

[rikki21]

^ hi sis! okay 20kg lang pala. noted. But 2 luggages na 20kgs each ang allowance ng PAL, right? or 20kgs total for 2 luggages na yun?

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ that's 20kg total, whether 1 or 2 pieces of luggage. It's just a regional flight. 3hrs.

The two pieces with 50lbs each baggage allowance is usually for long-haul flights (like going to US).

[rikki21]

Finally booked na ako for Thailand, via PAL. Sisses recommend places to visit and restaurants, or if u have itinerary for 3-4 days stay? Thanks in advance!

[vainmode]

anyone here experience their thai massage?? i just had a weird experience, 

^ I did. Anong weird experience mo sa massage nila? Nagpamassage ako sa Pratunam area for 250Baht only. Fan kasi ako ng Thai massage at sobrang pagod na ko sa kakalibot. Super ok ng experience ko. Alam mo yung feeling na nasasaktan ka pero ang sarap  . Tapos dinig ko talaga yung mga buto buto ko na tumutunog.  Uulitin ko talaga yan pag bumalik ako ng Bangkok.

[agape]

Ok ba mag stay sa Aspen Suites, Bangkok?
How much kaya dun per night?

[hot_chick]

I am planning to go there this May. Is it safe to travel alone?

[rikki21]

sisses do u have 3days itinerary for Bangkok?  please share naman. for 3 whole days at Bangkok, kasi sa 4th day lunch time pa naman flight naming.
Thanks in advance!

[hot_chick]

^yes. it is safe.

I went there alone. You won;t feel others kasi daming tourist done daming solo travellers din

Thanks sis abbeythesassy! Im already booked going there on May 16.

[hot_chick]

hi sisses! can anyone help me?

from sukhumvit airport what is the most convenient way going to Novotel Platinum?

TIA!

[kittycat228]

We'll be in pratunam on july 20 na election day. Hindi kay magulo yon? Safe kaya if ituloy namin ang trip?

[hot_chick]

^airport link lang sis

or best is pagdating mo dun, punta ka sa may exit area where you see  lane papuntang airport link sa side ng booths kung saan nagbebenta ng simcards may information desk doon. you can ask them, they will help you find the nearest route. 




I did that and they even called my hotel reception

grab a map also for your convenience:)

thanks sis abbeydasassy! you are such a big help.

[gemstonerainbow]

We will be arriving around 12mn in Bangkok, is the airport link still open at this time or is it safer to get airport transfers with the hotel or a cab? We'll be 2 girls kasi.

Also, would anyone know if there is a church in Bangkok? We will be spending a weekend there and we would want to attend mass sana

[ja93cia]

Hi sisses,

We'll be going to bkk this may 9-12 and we're a bit on a tight budget. We're planning sana na magexplore without na the tour packages. We'll be staying in Ramada d ma exact address is 1091/388, Soi Jarurat, New Petchburi Rd., Rajthevee,, Makkasan, Ratchathewi, Bangkok, Thailand.

I just want to ask which is the best transpo from our hotel to ayutthaya? We prefer po sana the bts for experience or bus as long as makakatipid kami. And would you know how long is the travel time and also the price.

Thanks all! ☺️

Looks like there will be an imminent spiral into chaos in BKK in the next few days:

Thanks sis abbeydasassy

========

^Oh noooooooo ((((((((((((

[gemstonerainbow]

Thanks for the info sis stameygirl. Naku, sana okay na situation sa Bangkok by mid-June...

^^ Thank you also for the tip sis abbeydasassy Bakit may additional THB50 on top of the fare? Dahil late na yung time or dahil airport taxi sila? Inisip ko kasi baka ganun din abutin ng fare namin if taxi or airport transfer with the hotel.
