Bangkok, Thailand (Thread 10)

[bagaholic_chewy]

^^ food-wise, i'd choose Baiyoke Sky (then revolving roofdeck after dinner). Though for experience, nice din naman Chao Phraya dinner cruise.

Sissies, yug mga van sa Victory Monument going to Ayuttaya, naghihintay lang ng mga passengers, yung para saten dito na pag napuno saka aandar? Then pagdating dun, may mag tuktuk na for the tour? Plan kasi naming DIY yung Ayuttaya.  TIA!

[ficklemind]

I also plan to DIY Ayuthayya so we can manage our time. we'll skip Bang Pa In.
I want to try the train sana for experience lang kaso matagal daw to compared sa Van in Victory monument.
If maaga kami magigising we might take the train papunta then van pabalik.
Hopefully, back at Bangkok na kami by 4PM.
max of 3 hours lang plan ko for the tour via tuktuk, Pwede na kaya yun mga sis? 2 lang kami.

[chelsee]

DIY lang ba kayo sa bangkok? san kaya my promo na ticket or murang package with airfare sa bangkok?

[krabby_patty]

^ DIY within the city. We booked a tour going to Kanchanaburi and Ayutthaya/Bang Pa In For promo fares, try Cebu Pacific (around 5k RT with baggage allowance) and PAL/Thai Airways (around 12k RT)

[chelsee]

wala na nga promo sa bangkok eh

back from BKK.

nag Baiyoke Intl Buffet na lang kami instead of Chao Praya Princess. Mas malapit kasi sa hotel yung Baiyoke and nagsawa na kami sa Chao Praya river the day before kasi from 1pm to 9pm sakay kami ng sakay dun sa express boats sa pamamasyal. Paguwi namin hotel nun hilo na kami 

Ok naman food sa Baiyoke Sky, pero hinde ko kinaya ang init. Ewan ko ba super init parang wala aircon, sumama pakiramdam ko.
I've read a review na din (either sa hotels2thailand or trip advisor) na super nainitan din sila. May part naman ng restau na medyo malamig (near the desserts) pero yung table (near the pasta section) namin super init talaga , had to cut short our dinner kasi tinopak na ako
After dinner, tambay kami dun sa observation deck then  umakyat din kami sandali sa revolving sky deck Sulit na din naman 628thb per head via hotels2thailand.

may nakatry na ba magbook ng tour sa "travel hub bangkok tour operator"?  thinking of booking our floating market + samphran zoo tour for 7 pax. 

[Razchelle]

Although I stayed there for 14 days sa BKK, every morning kasi pupunta ako sa Clinic for our IVF session lang. Limited lang ang napuntahan ko but it was a memorable trip for me. Madalas lang ako sa Siam.

[kittycat228]

any suggested hotels near pratunam market na may breakfast na?

[krabby_patty]

^ Hi sis! Depending on your budget, check mo Baiyoke, GLOW or Hotel Vista Express Pratunam 

[kittycat228]

thanks sis! will try to check Glow

[minaco_aino]

Sissies, what is the best way to go to Samphran Elephant Zoo from Grand Palace? Taxi na lang since we are 3 adults and a 5 y/o?

Also, I'm about to book Siam Niramit Show at hotels2thailand.com. Indicated sa title "Siam Niramit Show Bangkok (Thai Resident)". Is the reservation is for Thai Resident only or also even for other guest (foreign)?
 
TIA!

[bagaholic_chewy]

^ for Samphran, better hire a car with driver through your hotel tour desk. Pwede rin naman kontrata with taxi pero baka tagain kayo ng sobra lalo na pag around Grand Palace area.

For Siam Niramit, we booked through their website mismo. Paid using credit card. Madali lang mag-book.

[nettai]

Ayun. Here in Bangkok right now, pero again, for a short-term work assignment.

Nga pala, share ko lang mga sis. Kasi usually sa bangko ako nagpapapalit ng USD (more often sa SCB). More often than not, hindi sila tumatanggap ng USD na madami nang tupi tsaka may tatak (ewan ko ba kasi sa mga bangko, sila nagtatatak ng pera pero ayaw nila ng perang may tatak). Buti na lang namasyal ako sa Silom (yeap, dahil mahilig ako sa crystals), andami palang palitan dun na may matataas na rates (I think marami rin nito sa Pratunam and Khao San) and dun pa kami nakahanap ng mga nag-ooffer ng tour (gusto ko sana sa Khao San maghanap though). And may mga medyo tagong money changer na mataas ang palitan kaso medyo shady ata lolz.

Gusto ko sana mag-Chocoville (which is a bummer dahil malapit lang ito sa amin), Siam Niramit and that ladyboy show kaso syempre nakakahiya din sa girlfriend ng kasama ko (and of course sa boyfriend ko hahaha). Panget naman kung mag-isa lang sya, so inaya ko na lang sya sa lesser known tourist area: Kanchanaburi. (ay wait sikat din pala yun lolz) Hahahaha.

I'll reserve the Bangkok temples on a personal trip. Too bad tapos na project ko dito. XDDDD

Siam Niramit and Ladyboy show like Tiffany, Calypso is a very good show.
