exchange rate
http://sg.finance.yahoo.com/m5?a=1&s=SGD&t=THB
To all,
Last evening my Hubby went to Chinatown to change baht.. he managed to get a good rate of S$1 to 24.25 baht from this money changer located next to Giamsco Travel Agency at the basement of People's Park Complex
where else can we go change baht in BKK other than Siam City bank (the bank which offer the best exchange rate in BKK)?? cos doubt the bank is opened on Sunday....p
Can we change small notes with the hotel ah, cos we mostly got 1000 baht notes...

Thanks winnie !
germ,
louis tailor is at suhkumvit area along the main road(near soi 8). Its abt 5 mins walk from nana station.
If u are tailoring mens suit i think there are better tailors along sukhumvit that u should try instead of louis collection.I have a few shops thats recommended. i did it at louis due to convenience only, but overall still satisfied.
If u doing ladies dresses and have time, try julie's but its located further away near oriental hotel. Seems they are quite popular and recommended by some thai sites for foreigners.By BTS its the last station on siam line. (saphan taksin station)
which area u staying btw?

hi fanyong,
all taxis have meter but it depends on whether they wanna switch it on
Only from airport or tourists spots do these taxi try to negotiate a flat rate. If the driver dun wanna use meter, then dun get in the cab and just flag another one.
meter starts at 35THB and increase 2THB per 2 km. Quite cheap so always make sure they go by meter.

germ,
macways custom tailor siam square soi 5 and marco tailor siam sq soi 7 is close to your hotel. Maybe u could try them. Ask for as many fittings as your time permit, check to see if they use the same material as the one u chose. These tailor are more men but they do ladies as well. If u want, u can ask if they outsource the tailoring to local people or they have their own master tailor. In-house tailoring would be better.
It is best to bring pictures of the style u wanna do.I would think long dress cost 4000THB upwards and men 2-piece suit 5000THB upwards.

hi winnie, can send ur compilation to [email protected]? thks.
hi germ
more than enough time.
lint,
suan lum have more home decor stuff/ gifts etc like a mini chatuchat except more orderly and more clean.
Patpong in terms of shopping more expensive and unless u know thai, u wun get good bargains there. On the other hand, patpong is the place to go to see girlie show, bar-pole dancing etc.. or just to soak in the atmosphere of the crowd there.
if im not mistaken suan lum closes at 12am while patpong at 1am.
anyway u can spend few hrs in patpong and another few hrs in suan lum.
more than enough time.

I am a thailand lover. Been there three times so far. Latest trip is to Krabi. My friend just got back from BKK. She stayed at First Hotel. When she wanted to book that hotel already tell her dun liao lor. Cos i remembered my first trip to Bkk staying at BaiyokeSuite and happen to walk pass First hotel, in my heart i thought. Finally got one hotel more lousy (exterior look) than baiyoke suite. she know thai and during our last trip she clicked quite well with the tour guide, so when she visited recently she called him up. He also asked her why stay at first hotel so she tell him that she is on tight budget. She was told that previously first hotel had a fire and a lot of ppl died.
