Wedding 9999,
the Grand canyon cafe is a good choice for cheap meals, there is one at this Central mall, (previously world trade centre), and MK restaurant at MBK, try their duck, very delicious.
Jade,
you can try hotels at Sukhumvit, along the the BTS routes. there are many hotels along the ASOKE and NANA stations, the prices are comparable to Asia Hotel.
search at website for prices before you go to the agency for their choices for you. worst come to worst, book your own hotel online.
i used mainly http://www.gothailand.com/ and http://www.asiarooms.com/

wedding9999: regretfully,I am not a great foodie coz my diet mainly consists of vegetables & simple foods but I still eat meat occasionally so what I think is nice may not be to another person - anyway, the food there is like chiak boi liao, not like here, so uncreative or is it the people???
If I can recall at Cabbage & Condoms, dishes start above 300B & I think a course meal from 1000B - must do booking, ask ur hotel.
Over at Crepes & Co, depending on your choice most starts abt 300B coz I like crepes but get headache in choosing. have a look @ http://www.crepes.co.th/
Go Sky Bar for a drink on the 63/fl@ Silom for THE experience, itz fantastic & exhiliarating! but cannot wear too casual.
elchwong: U r welcome! Have Fun.....!!!
Jade Chee:Yup, I agree with elchwong, take it as a lesson to study the place up, so that u can do DIY on ur next trip!

Hi everyone, i'll be flying to BKK on 1st Oct. Want to find out more places beside the usual place i go like Chaptuchak and MBK.

Jade,
I book with Alvista. I'm flying with tiger air and stay in Novotel paying $380 for 4D3N. It may not be cheap too. Initially when i ask and paid for Novotel, the agent called and found out to be fully booked. We were so scared as we are afraid we dun have a place to stay. So he gave us another option thats Pratuwan Princess but jus top up another $20. Why dun you try to change to another hotel? I've not stay in Novotel before but my colleagues told me its not bad. Its very near to their BTS, HRC and MBK. Why not consider top up a little if they have slot there?

Hi Meow,
I jus came back this monday and I bought a few sets of children shop at Pratunam market, very cheap 2 piece set at S$4 and those 5 pieces set at S$7+, the prices i quoted are in 3pieces above purchase(they call it wholesale price). But to me pratunam is not fun at all!
FYI, chatuchak is not tat cheap like last time, partial of the stores wont give us much discount wan. But i would highly recomend suan lam night bazaar, the decor there and clothing are better than chatuchak though smaller than chatuchak
From asia hotel to suan lam by taxi is only about 50-60 bahts (depends on the traffic flow).
Do let me know if u have more queries.

Thanks Von,
But i recall Pratunam close pretty early right? They open everyday? The places you bought was at night, those hawkers or daytime in the market itself? Still need to bargain or not huh?
The very first time i went to Suan Lam night market was very empty. It was 2years back then when it was newly opened. Any idea how much is the cost if i were to take taxi to Chaptuchak?

Hi Jade,
I'm going on 24th Sep for 4D3N and staying at Pathuwan Princess cost us $378 per pax excluding tax of $123 by Thai Airline. When I booked with CTC, they assured me 100% refund if my choice of hotel is not available. I told them I only want Pathumwan Princess and they came back to me yesterday saying the standard room fully book so I top up for delux room. So you might consider choosing another hotel maybe in the range of 4 to 5 star or upgrade to delux room.

Hi Meow,
Pratunam from the info i gather its open 24hrs, but when i go there on a morning, the shops were just opening up for biz (so i think its not 24hrs).
I went chatuchak on sat and sunday mornings at abt 9am and left for shopping centres at about 12+noon to avoid the heat.
i stayed at asia and the train station is at the 2nd level, so we took a direct train to "mo chit" and walking distance to chatuchak is only 10mins. So most of the time, we took train and if most of the time u will be taking train, u can buy the 100bahts ticket for a day travel.
Suan Lam is much established now.....most of the stalls filled up....to me and hubby, we prefer suan lam....
both markets can bargain wan...but mus chop chop them, especially if u r the 1st customer.
BTW, the taxis there very cheap..pls note dnt get con by tuk tuk. Once i wanted to go suan lam, the driver quote me 150bahts and we find it ex and took a taxi instead...and its was only 60bahts...(for taxi, they will round up the fare wan....lets say fare is 63bahts and u give them 70bahts, they wont give u change wan(but anyway 7bahts is only S$0.20+.
And the food court system there is by coupon wan, if u have bought excess, its refunable.
I went to most of the shopping centres...if u need more info can ask me...hee

Hi Peggy, if am not mistaken, this hotel is so much nearer to Amari Watergate & Pratunam market than Asia & since its less than a year old, things should be new. I suppose no harm in giving it a try & remember to pull along your empty trolley bag across the road for your shopping ....... the nearest station wld be Chidlom
Hi batubata, i go to internet view that hotel pic of room, very ncie and very new. I think i wan change to tis hotel via booking internet only $45.07 per night inc breakfast. But 1 thing no good is, many taxi drive dun know the hotel b'cos tis is quite new hotel. Can give me more about ur feeling when u pass by the hotel? it is location at back alley, so the alley clean, safe?
Thank you
Thank you

blur blur,
D'ma is quite far from the sky train. If you intend to take the sky train often then I would recommend Asia as it's linked to the sky train.

Peggy: I only know this boutique hotel is in one of the lanes(Soi) opposite Amari Watergate & Pratunam Hotels on Rachprarop Road. I wanted to book also during my last trip but then I wasnt going shopping in that area. Most taxis should know & can speak broken English, look for the sticker 'I love farangs' Tell him u want to go Pratunam,Rachprarop Road, soi .......,PJ Watergate hotel. Always check with the driver first if he knows the hotel before getting into his cab.
blur blur: D'ma Pavilion is in Pratunam but a distance away from Pratunam market & itz neighbour hotel is Eastin which we can see from the expressway on the way into the city. A friend once told me it is cleaner & brighter than Asia with a great buffet BF.The ambience is good. If your main transport is taxi then ur location is not a problem, afterall u are still in the city & well-connected.

Hi dme check in 28 octber...24US per room per nite. Are u booking from sawadee? i book from asiarooms, cheaper than 1100 bath per room. At fist, i oso book from sawadee but haven give deposit. So, i check other website, i found asiarooms cheaper than sawadee, so i book from asiarooms and confirm.
cookie,
Pratunam market is very near to Baiyoke sky hotel. If i didn't remember wrongly, you just walk the direction away from the Central World Plaza(Past WTC). That means you'll passby Big C shopping centre then cross diagonally and you'll also passby a very 'old' kind of supermarket. Try search the map in the web. You should be able to find your way there. Else search for baiyoke sky hotel and walk towards the direction will do.
