hi all, need some help, i'll be going on 31 Jan 07 for 5D. and would like to know if chinatown will be closed for the new year?
i read in some travel books that it will be closed? Is it true? Anyone been during this period b4?
Seems like if CTC is half closed and such, and chinatown closed or most of the shops closed, then it would be a problem...
Pls help...
Thanks

hi all,
saw in another forum that it's not that bad. here is one post from a forumer.
quote: "CTC market is perfectly fine, all the selling and buying is still GOING ON AS USUAL. xiaomyst you are worrying for nothing. the newspapers as usual have been blowing things up beyond proportion." unquote
FYI

hi dreamer .... i will stay at Ibis Siam this coming BKK trip end of the mth ... wanted to stay at Indra Regent but was fully booked thru Asiarooms so had to take my 2nd choice in the list.....
u can go read the reviews at Asiarooms..quite positive comments

ping: The dim lighting i referred to was Baiyoke Sky all of the rooms, Superior room, Junior Suite, Superior Suite. These 3 rooms have exactly same bathroom/toilet design and size. Baiyoke sky is good for those who wanna share with 2 pair of couples in a room cos of big space.
Superior room has 2 Super Single Bed, Junior Suite has 1 Queen size bed and 1 Super Single Bed and 1 sofa. Superior Suite has 2 Super Single Bed in a bedroom and 1 sofa. Thats the standard unless you gonna add a bed/triple sharing.
Yes other than pratunam market, there are some shoppings within walking distance along the lane selling ladies accessories n clothings. Pratunam stuff are cheap. An alternative to Chatuchak.

Hi there... I am a newbie here. I have some enqiries to check with those who have been to Memorial Bridge Night Market and Bo-Be market.
1)Have any of you taken a cab to Memorial Bridge NM from Asia Hotel? Was it worth going and how much was the cab fare?
2)And is it true Bo-Be market is near to Chinatown area? How long is the journey? Am I suppose to shop at a open-air market environment or in a building call Bo-Be towers?
Can anyone advice? Hope to hear some views and comments on this soon. Thank you for your attention...

Hi Serene

Kenshare: I went there too when hubby was on a biztrip so I had about 2 days to shop myself! For massage, go to this shopping centre Plaza 29 which is opposite MBK and linked by a bridge, u will see alot of shops doing mani and pedi with nailart at very good price! I paid only S$12-15 for my both my nailart.
Also, if you ladies have the time, drop by to Chinatown (Sumpheng Lane) where u get wholesale accessories prices! very cheap and good!

LY: I think MBK has a storey which sells cheap mascaras and makeup remover. think its the 3rd storey near the escalator. The stalls are like push carts stationed there but i think their stuff are quite cheap. not sure if its authentic though. L'Oreal Makeup remover is very cheap there! U should grab a few pieces!

Anyone here atayed at service apartment while you were there for holiday? Any recommendation?
I'm planning on going Bangkok with my family for 3/4 days. Since there're 4 adults and 1 child, I feel that it's better to get a 2-bedroom service apartment with a kitchenette.

Sue,
How much did you pay for your airtics and accom? So the apartment belongs to your company?
Sailormoonwt,
Did you book from agency or from the internet? How much did you pay? Is it within walking distance to any skytrain?

Hi! Aspiration
As for my airtickets, I got it free from airasia during its promotion. Just pay for airport taxes.
Yup, my co own a chain of svc apt under 3 brands namely Ascott, Somerset & Citadines.
As for accom, I paid THB 4200 per nite (staff price) for 2 bedrooms apt price (complimentary upgrade to 3 bedroom apt) Even got a washing machine it the apt. We wash our clothes every day... It is within walking distance to skytrain, think around 5 mins. Very near to Central Childom.
Btw currently they have some promotion for Bkk svc apt and it includes airport transfer. Quite a good deal.
Check it out at http://www.ascott.com
Fyi, usually 2 bedroom apt in Bkk can accomodate 3 adults only (comprises 1 double bed either king or queen size and the other is single bed). The 4th person usually they will charge or they won't let him or her in. U better check it out b4 u book.

LV: no prob! Hope u find ur stuff!
aspiration: You might want to try Grand Diamond Hotel or Service Apartment located very near to Pratunam Market. It is just 5 mins walk to Pratunam market and it is an ex service apartment converted to hotel. When i stayed there a few years back they have the room with 2 bed and a kitchen as well as a small living room. very spacious and it is not as expensive.

Hi Sailormoon and LY,
No prob! Enjoy your trip there and do drink more water cos the weather is really very hot.
As for makeup, can try MBK 3rd and 4th floor, they have alot of cosmetics there and they also have those samples sized items, mostly from Clinique.
I have stayed at Evergreen Service Apartment. It's in a lane just next to Asia Hotel. You can visit their website http://www.evergreenapartment.com/. The location is good cos it's within walking distance to MBK and also to BTS @ Asia Hotel. It's a no frills apartments that doesn't serve breakfast but they do have good food for the room service.
