Thks Lynn..will give AE a call today. ;p

Hi hweiz,

Thanks.... so they will charge in US $ right? Hee my booking is confirmed liao.... How much baht do u intend to bring for 4D3N stay there? BTW, what is the current exchange rate like?

Is erawin shrine a popular temple there? If after praying and it comes true, must we go back to thank the buddha?

Do u intend to go to their Chinatown? Any idea how to go there?
 
sysa, the shop u mention @ chinatown serve seafood & sharkfin .. does they serve birdnest as well? ermmm.....another thing is how do i locate that store?
 
really skywolf? By ThaiAirways? Hee hee...possible, since we r there to shop n eat, maybe will "meet" on the skytrain!

chloef, u haven't booked on Sat? I booked at SA Tours. Gotta be fast, coz end of May school holidays already.
 
Hi all experts of BKK,

can I check with you how is the bargaining like over at the various shopping places in BKK? I jus came back fm BKK over the weekend trip and found that unlike what i read fm some websites, the prices there are pretty much non-negotiable except for the odd 99 baht or so. I was wondering if it was bec I only bought 1 or 2 pieces each or was it bec of my poor bargaining skills?

pls share your experiences with me..
 
Hi Droopy,

Nah.. mine's via jetstarasia... got to wake up really early wor...

For Baiyoke Sky, we gotta topup $90 in total.
 
thks droopy, chked out last Sat for the Vesak wkend but all fully booked..so gonna push back to last wkend of May.

Going to try at other agencies tmr..those people's park area quite poor service leh.
 
hi droopy,

If i m not wrong, the nearest BTS station to Baiyoke Sky is Chitlom Station. I think its about 10mins walk to the station.
 
hi, u all intend to take the bts station? i was thinking of taking cab from one place to another. coz i never take their train before and where to stop and what shopping are there .. i wont noe :P
 
Hi Droopy,

Min'e a 8.05 am flight... Similiar to Siewmai, i'm gg for budget tour too, thus will be staying @ bkk city inn... As for BTS... shd b Chitlom as what Squidhead mentioned... Have to walk past the pratunam area, if i didnt recall wrongly...

Siewmai, bon voyage!!

Thks Squidhead n Skywolf! Mmph...my frien recommended Novotel Siam she said very near to BTS, I think I stick to Baiyoke Sky, walk abit loh. If too tired at night, then take cab back.

chloef, have u gotten yr air tics? End of May is pretty tough coz school holidays started. I wanted to go 29th but no more tics for my package already. Anyway, hope u can get it!

Hi droopy,

U r welcome. Initially I booked at Grand Diamond which is near Baiyoke Sky but decided to change to Novotel becos I heard its much nearer to BTS.

Btw, I have managed to get THAILAND VISITOR CARD. It a discount card accepted at 3,000 locations in Thailand (BKK, Phuket, Ko Samui ...) to be used with Visa card.
I have extra cards .. so first come first serve.
I prefer to meet up to pass the card rather than waste on postage. Most likely at Harbourfront or Dhoby Ghaut around 5.50-6.15pm.
 
Hi sweetheart,

The Thailand Visitor Card 2005 is a discount card that entitles card holders to discounts of between 5 to 30% at almost 3,000 participating establishments
 
hi

I got the card from a friend who got it from friend (I think working in the embassy). I think its the same card as the one Skywolf got.

Discounts at some shopping centres. If I don't remember wrongly, I think Emporium, Siam Discovery are the particpating centres. Don't have anymore with me at the moment so I cannot confirm.
 
hi siewmai,

may i know how much u paid for yr 6D5N ? did you booked with travel agent or you booked air tickets and hotel online on yr own ? Coz i also planning to go for 6D5N, but dunno whether to book thru travel agent or book separately online. thanks
 
hi hweiz,

you mentioned that u booked yr hotel thru asiarooms, then what abt transfer from airport to hotel and hotel to airport ?
 
hi lynn n fan!

I can meet u all on Friday. What about Harbourfront Station or Dhoby Ghaut NEL ? Plaza Singapura is also fine with me.

We can discuss the time later. Fan, can you leave me your email? I think it will be better instead of "flooding" this forum with our messages.
 
Droopy,

You're welcome.

Squidhead,

Yah, i think its the same card.
happy.gif
But then got to pay by visa leh... tricky coz visa will add in extra charges after converting rite? But then, its valid till 2006, so it's still useful~~
happy.gif
 
oh yeah, can i jus chk if i wanna change my hotel to a grade better than Asia hotel, yet still convenient within the shopping area..which hotel shd I consider?

some gals mentioned that P.Princess/Novetal Siam are hvin some renovation
sad.gif
Is it all rite if i change to Arnoma/Baiyoke Sky?

sorriee..if someone has asked b4..heheee
 
Chloef,

Consider Arnoma. My col stayed there and commented room not bad. Location wise convenient too - its opp old World Trade Centre.
 
Hi everybody,
You can get the VISA discount card and maps from the Tourism Office at the Thai Embassy at Orchard Rd. You can go during their opening hours.

Alternatively, you can go to http://www.tourismthailand.org.sg/enewsletter.html to put in your particulars and they will mail you the map and discount cards within 3-5 days.

I went to their Tourism office to get the discount cards and i got their mail with the same discount cards and maps a few days later 'cos i had register it earlier on...
 
Hi fan, chloef, rainnie, lynn and racherlle,

Do you gals still want to meet up or as Twink said, can get the cards mailed to you from Thai Embassy which I think it would be more convenient for some of you.

Do let me know :-D
 
Hi Squidhead,

I have registered at the link that Twink provided.... Think I will wait for them to post the discount cards to me... Anyway, still have to thank u for offering ur cards..

hi squidhead,

Ive also registered for the cards, since im leaving end of next mth, ill probably wait for them to mail.. thks for the offer!
