Ohstrawberry, u got the right choice of hotel ... the other time i also booked Bangkok City Inn. Its very near Big C and Central. Also u dun have to walk too far to get to the skytrain. But just to inform u that the hotel facilities are not as good as Bangkok Palace (e.g. swimming pool, great deals of food for breakfast), but its definitely worth the stay as compared to the distance u got to walk out from Bangkok Palace if u DIY ur whole trip.

passby, Bangkok Palace is quite far from Bangkok City Inn ... got to take a cab out, otherwise by the time u walk from this hotel to the other, you will have one bucket of sweat liao ..lol ..
Although Bangkok Palace is located nearer to Pratumum market, it is not convenient if you want to walk to the mrt station as you will have to walk a long stretch of road.

Mine's a free and easy... erm, i paiseh to ask the recep at hotel there on where is the ah gua show leh... clipart{kao_blush} Noted the price liao. It's the same as airport tax from bkk airport. clipart{kao_smile}
Milo66,
Maybe you could like email them to check? After all, it's their company's decision to shift the timings, tell them abt prior arrangments were already made and you couldn't cut back on them? Ext one more day is sure easier than cutting down....
Hi Nez,
I booked mine @ Bkk City Inn. I heard not bad from this forum, and FH wanted to save on hotel since we'll be out most of the day...

hey pple, i am back from my wkend trip!
its gd and the weather's cooling in BKK! can u all believe it? i actually felt i was walking in aircon, albeit mild one. the air was cooling and windy and i had to wear a jacket! anyone there over the last wkend that shared the same sentiments as me?
Suan Lum Night Bazaar is a muz go!!!! i love that place. not as crowded as Chatuchak and the stuff there oso quite gd.
cooldevil, u paid the same rate as me when u watched the ah gua and tiger show? yah, pitied the ladies doing such acts 4 a living, and in front of so many pple! i am sure she is only paid a meagre amt. sigh....
skywolf, the std rate is 500 baht, i think... try to bargain some more... seriously if u ask me, can skip the tiger show, so gross and nothing much to see other than sexual acts! the ah gua show is better!

yah, the part that they can keep razor inside juz amazed me!
hey i got weak tummy as well, but this time hor, i was ok. though i ate hot, spicy, and cold drinks all together. expected my tummy to "give way" and give me a hard time. i brought alot of diarrhoea pills along... but surprise! i survived!
lucky lucky! where do u usually eat? i tried the ones in Suan Lum Night Bazaar and a small restaurant in Siam area... juz dun hv the guts to try those roadside stalls, too much of a gamble 4 my weak stomach. dun think i can take it. and the smell always puts me off!
sakurasan! u were there as well last wkend? arrived on sat? same as me!
yah sooo surprised it was so cooling there, and yes, exactly, we were prepared to sweat it all out! in the end, we skipped taking cabs and walked from our hotel to Central World Plaza & MBK!

magix_wand, I arrived on Fri nite and left on Mon afternoon. I stayed at Novotel and we walked from Siam Discovery Centre to Siam Centre to Central World to Geysorn on Sat. We had to take cab back to hotel coz lugging too many things!! Did Central Chit Lom and Emporium and then MBK on Sun..then too shack to move! Feet all numb. We went to Suan Lum on Sat nite too..ooh, I think I like Suam Lum better than Chatuchak coz it's much cooler to walk around at nite than during the day. Ate tomyam soup for lunch and dinner my entire trip; suffering from the ill-effects after coming back. Think tummy can't take it anymore *ouch*

Hi Sakurasan,
I'm curious to know what you bought from the shopping area around MBK, Siam Discovery Centre, Central World etc. Cos I spent a whole day walking from MBK and covered all the shopping centers bet there and Gaysorn, but did not buy much. I thik I only bought a few items from Patra, Naraya and some tidbits.
Most of my shopping was done at Chatuchak, spent the whole of Sat and Sun there. Really enjoyed shopping there. Also went to Patpong, but it was quite boring. Also bought some stuff at the nite market and shopping centers around Victory Monument station.

My preferred hotel will be those around the Pratunam Market... This time, we are going to stay in Eastin Hotel...
sputnik I visited many shopping centres but didn't buy any clothes or shoes or bags. My husband was totally amazed.
But tailored working shirts and pants in a shop located my hotel *workmanship totally crappy*
Actually, what I was interested to buy during this BKK trip was nice, classy plates and bowls that you are served in restaurants and nice cushion covers, table runners etc! So every shopping mall that I visited, I headed straight for the household items section (*super auntie*). At Siam Discovery Centre, I bot stuff from this shop called Mae Fah Leung and spent loads of time in Habitat. At Central World Plaza, I was in Zen. Dragged back many squarish plates made from clay..*husband complained non-stop* So cheap! The same plates in Robinson was like $14 each..and I paid only $4 in BKK. I like Patra too! And Royal Porcelain...*sigh*
We liked Geysorn mainly coz we hvn't been there..it's nice, quiet and very spacious. Got lots of nice shops selling pretty household items. I hate MBK coz it's so crowded ~ but went anyway to buy stuff for a fren. I think it's a fire hazard; the way the building is designed. I loved Suam Lum for the atmosphere..but didn't buy anything except nightdresses ~ cheap! Didn't visit Chatuchak this time round..but must do Pratuman next time.
Wish I could lug back more plates and bowls.
