thanks MaoMao and Yukie,
just booked 2 nites at novotel siam thru gothailand.com, now waiting for their confirmation.
any good thai massage near this Siam?
a fren o fmine say healthland at Sathorn very good, anyone try out there?
cos this is my first time going to bangkok, so a bit a sua-ku lar...
so i stay at this decent hotels first, and go there to check out other hotels nearby if got time.
so from the hotel availability during deepavali and hari raya, i think BKK is safe to go right...

Hey, juz came back from BK.
I paid 400 baht from new airport to hotel & vs (incl 50 baht airport srv charge & 60 baht toll).
Even I go by meter, the meter read 300 baht excluding toll & airport srv charge.
I need to pay 50 baht airport srv charge from airport to hotel. Do u all also need to pay ?
How come u all juz paid 250 baht (incl toll) ? U all no need to pay airport srv charge ?

anybody care to share their experience in baiyoke sky? im staying there in dec and would like to know where to get some cool t-shirts and jeans..
ian matthews: Pratunam market is juz below Baiyoke sky. You can buy lotsa T-shirts from there cheaply.
Take note that Baiyoke sky have smoking/non-smoking rooms, they might juz throw you a smoking-room even though you booked non-smoking and also turn on and test all their equipment to make sure they are in working condition cos some stuff usually spoil. Sometimes toilet bowl choked or basin choked which is disastrous. Change room immed if there is any prob cos their room service takes very long to come or don't even come despite several complaints made in a day.

yukie,
usually they dont charge by the meter to hotel from airport, they usually say eg 300BHT (a whole sum), excluding toll amt. Toll amt is fixed, there will be a station and someone will collect the amount from the driver.
and they wont bring you ard to the hotel, maybe they could have gone the long route instead of short route, which means you will reach hotel later and have less then for shopping.

Fixed price taxi won't bring you around the world. But some metered taxi will, depending on how honest the driver is... Not only from airport to hotel but from shopping to shopping. Esp when you travelling from Suan Lum/Chatuchak/Chinatown/ChaoPraya to main town area Sukumvit and vice versa. At most you pay 350baht for round the world trip

Taxi cabs are plentiful in busy Bangkok! There is also the BTS. So, really, you don't have anything tp worry about when it comes to transportation while you're vacationing in BKK!

Hi,
Anyone stayed at the Bossotel before? It's situated right next to the Shangri La near the Chao Praya River. Mostly good reviews from sawadee.com...

hee... i'm bk fm bkk last wk... gots lots of stuff!!!
Taking BTS is better than cab! It save us lots of time. For example fm my htl(Arnoma) if take cab will take abt 30-45min. We took BTS fm Chit Lom (jus round the coner of Arnoma) to MO Chit where chatuchak is only 15min...
Had a bad experience wif the cab on the 1st day so we gave up taking cab. We wanted to go for dinner @ SomBoon seafood n the 1st taxi driver took us to Somboondee seafood. I say tis is not the place as i've seen the place fm internet b4. He insist its the same. I went to hv a look @ the menu n a crab cos 850 baht!!! Some1 fm the restaurant indroduce himself as the boss n say tis is the rest i'm looking for. I say i'm looking for Somboon n not Somboondee! We told the cab to sent us bk to the htl. We took another cab fm the htl. The htl staff told us tat he can't gurantee tat the driver will bring us to the rite rest, we hv to try our luck. Sure enough, the 2nd cab took us to Somboondee again... b4 he turn in, i stop him n say no. Not tis 1. We sure him the map n insist he bring us to where we want. Finally we get to eat the famous curry crab recommended by the other forums...
sorry huh... so lo so...

Zenn 254 inclusive of the airport tax for bkk also and the bkk airport tax has increased to 700bth
Hi Zenn,
total price paid :
2 adults = SGD 198.00
Taxes and Surcharges = SGD 146.00
Service Fees = SGD 30.00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Price = SGD 374.00
but I don't think it includes the airport tax in bangkok

ok let's calculate this way, 254-60=194
60 is the bkk airport tax.
then -4 then =190. compared to the last time i took air asia which is 124. its slightly expensive by 66 but i still feel its quite cheap compare to no promotion. Mayb yah ling can advise.
I am still on hold now leh. cannot get hold of them.
