Hi VaNiLLa,
Haha.. I thought u have 4 persons in 1 junior suite! U going for honeymoon? I booked 2 junior suites too but 1 suite is triple room.
If you come out from the hotel entrance, just walk straight all the way till u see Platinum fashion Mall which is on the opposite of the road.I think beside Platinum Mall there's a bridge(smelly), just walk further up and cross the road then u can see big C, not that difficult to find. U will see lots of food stall outside big C ard 3-4pm all the way till night.
I can't remember the name of the jap fast food but it's just opp the food court.
U going for the Baiyoke Sky buffet, in house guest gets 50% off!.
Sure, will fill u up when I'm back.

Vanilla,
Dun worry too much lah. It's very easy to get around BKK. Worse come to worse take CAB..but just make sure die die go by meter.
Suan Lum closing (I think I remember reading) the land was rented out to people. But the govt want it back or seomthing like that. But I miss the ferries wheel...kinda nice...my kids like it.
Oh, you book AirAsia. I more kiasu..I book I think in May for this coming trip (next sat). Got it for $111/pax (include tax). That was before the taxes of airasia rised to $158 per round trip.

Wow, there is so much sharing of information. I cant wait for my turn to go there!!! So looking forward to it. 1 more week. There are places with shopping, traditional massage & food. What about hair cut and hair colouring? My relatives who have been there went for hair cut n colouring but all gave me different information. Any recommendation from you ladies? I even think of getting a tattoo there but scare of the diseases. LOL.

Hi All,
I am back with some nice hotels to recommend.
1 of them is Baiyoke Boutique Hotel. Its a nice, well decorated hotel. Although rooms interior are abit dark due to dark painted walls. But overall, its still a very budget hotel ranging $60+ to $70+ with buffet breakfast. Hourly, there are 10 seaters shuttle van to MBK and Siam Paragon.
If you are looking for non-budget hotel, other than Pathumwan Princess, Novotel Siam Square, Siam @ Siam, you can also consider Holiday Inn Hotel & Resort. It is only a mere 1 minute walk to BTS ChitLom Station. Breakfast is usually not provided, unless you are willing to pay a higher price for it.

hokkaido.lavender: Refer to my above post. Baiyoke Boutique hotel might suit your budget. Furniture are quite new therefore no worries.
As for Sampeng lane, just tell the cab you wanna go there. If they still don't know, tell them its near Yaowarat. Then they definitely know. It all depends on where they drop you off. Some may drop you in front of the small lane. Some may drop you along the main road and you have to walk in. Do take note of the direction you walking, cos i went in a few times and walk all over, sometimes lost my way inside. Then have to walk a distance to get to main road just to take a cab back. Bought alot of hair bands, soft toys from there. Also have the solar toy which Action City sell. Very cheap only. about S$6.

Girls,
Twice I went to BKK during their "riots" period where the papers and news kept saying got soldiers here and there..blah blah.
Twice I found the place safe and sound. Riots are taken place NEAR the palace..and it's on the outside areas n not at MBK, etc. Also in BKK to have riots, they will need licence too.
I guess I had always believe that, if you are meant to get injured or die or whatever...no matter where u are, it will still happen. Ultimately it's ur own choice.
If not, you can always go to a BKK forum (e.g. trip advisors or virtual tourist) and ask those WHO stays there what normally happens during elections.

hi icebaby,

cab fare to town is normally about THB 200 - THB 250 or so (on average, depending on whether u go by highway or normal roads...

Hi there, I went to change Thai baht yesterday. I went to the money changer beside the UOB atm machine. The rate was 23.15. I wanted to change 1K but he does not have sufficient Thai baht. End up changing at the bigger money changer [got aircon n two ladies inside, thk is unit 15B]. The rate was 23.18. Don't know isit weekend that's why the exchange rate was slightly lower.

MrsWang,
Just came back few hours ago.
yes, i stayed at Samran Place again (my 3rd time). Still as good to me.
Didn't go much places cos my Cousin-in-law has abit different taste and her size differs from mine. So she can't buy those Free Size items. But overall still enjoyable.
