feifei,
Not to worry. Sawadee.com will send you an email confirming your stay at the hotel of your choice. You will then need to print out a copy of that email and it will become your hotel voucher.
Which hotel did you book??

Hi Feifei,
Chinatown - if u r going to Sampheng Lane, it opens around 9am close at 5-6pm. For those roadside hawkers, they all start business 6-7pm.
Chatuchak - Sat & Sun, 9am - 6pm. Best to go at 9am.
Pratunam - Mon - Sun, 9am - 6pm. Roadside stalls start business in the evening.

Pratunam - Mon - Sun, 9am - 6pm. Roadside stalls start business in the evening.
feifei: Their Chinatown is something like our Chinatown along South Bridge Road. They are open throughout the day, but it depends on what purpose you are going there for. If you going Sampeng Lane then go before 6pm, if you going for roadside hawker, then go after 7pm(SG Time).
Btw Pratunam Roadside stalls are opened on Sunday Morning as well, 10am (SG Time - Fully Open) til night time 9.30pm. Most of the small lane along Pratunam is blocked on sunday by these stalls. Very happening on Sunday morning..

It's Siam. Still, you're gonna have to walk a little bit to MBK.

Trix: Don't need se map. Map not so accurate. To walk to MBK, you have to alight at the BTS station where Siam Paragon is..Then on the opposite side of Siam Paragon (meaning instead of going to Siam Paragon on the left, you go on the right of the overhead bridge). Then walk down the bridge the cut through the lane then you will reach MBK. Don't walk straight along the road. That means MBK is located PERPENDICULAR to Siam Paragon Shopping Centre. Not Parallel.
I also didn't know how to go there that time til i went to the BTS station and ask them how to go. Then i realise just cutting through the lane would save me alot of time going to MBK. If you cut through it only takes abt 10min or less to reach.

Hi Trix,
You also can take BTS to National Stadium, u have to alight at Siam then go up, only one station away. When u come out from the station, there's a linkbridge to Tokyu. National Stadium is the terminal station of the Silom line.

Their BTS is like our MRT, Siam is the interchange. Sometimes, I lazy to walk from Siam Centre to MBK, i just take BTS to Naional Stadium thou is just walking distance away. Their BTS aircon very strong. keke...
wow, thanks all for your quick reply!
ok, seems like both national stadium and siam also can reach hor....
1) can alight at Siam, cross over the bridge and walk perpendicular from paragon...thanks for being so detailed!
2) if wanna enjoy the aircon, at siam, go up and change to the direction to national stadium, alight and walk to link to tokyu
thank you ladies!!

aiyo....few more questions...
1) whats there to check out from sukhumwit area? It is a looooooong stretch covering 4-5 BTS stations! What do you go there for?
2) Is it possible to walk from Grand Palace to Sampeng?
3) I heard it is not safe for tourist to just step into any of the shows in Patpong area...is it still true now? I mean the "live shows" are part of the "culture" of bangkok, thought it would be nice to check it out! is it safer to visit them now than before?

Hi feifei,
Tempted only lah, i told mylself unless god free airtickets from budget airline, den i go. keke...
I shld say nearest BTS staion to MBK is National Stadium. If u dun mind walking, u can alight at Siam den walk, else u can inter-change at Siam.
If u r going Siam, Chit Lom, U just take BTS from Rachatewi, route going to On Nut, 1 & 2 stations away from Siam. If u r going to chatuchak, Victory Monument, take route to Mo Chit.
Hi Trix,
Dun worry, their BTS routes easy to understand, when u r at the station just look at the route map, den u will understand.
Btw, which hotel u staying at?

Hi Trix,
Your nearest BTS will be at Chit Lom, so u have to take to the Mo Chit route if u wan to go to Siam.

Trix: if you are at Siam Station, then forget abt going to National Stadium to go MBK. Frankly speaking i think both are same distance. Anyway if you walk from Siam Station to MBK, along the way there are lotsa shops, That stretch of road is Siam Square, You can find Swensen, HardRockCafe, Watson along the way. So its kinda worth it to walk along there as you will find lotsa food, clothing, meni/padi also.
Sukumwit is a long stretch of road up to 24km i think. Thats why they divided into Soi 1,2,3...
You can't walk from Grand Palace to Sampeng, That will kill you under the hot sun. If you are so enthusiastic about walking, you can walk to Khao San. Didnt try before, neither will i try walking that distance.

Is this your 1st trip to BKK? If so, you're in for a treat! A Spa Treat!!! Healthland gets my vote for best spa chain. Serene and tasteful decor... Competent staff... Reasonable rates... Good location (N Sathorn Rd). My husband and I ALWAYS visit Healthland whenever we're in BKK and we always tell others about it.
