so i told him i will treat him to a 80th storey resturant in bangkok instead.. glad tat resturant is not bad... Yuppie .. to avoid disappointment .. my freind made the reservation for me already..

thanks...
 
i am staying at asia hotel, staying 3 nites too.. my package includes airport transfer.. i think most agency will provide the service, maybe u gals can try asking ur agency..

If not will need to spend abt 300 baht for the taxi trip.

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.... :op
Can we change small notes with the hotel ah, cos we mostly got 1000 baht notes...
 
wow andreal, envy leh can go BKK again =( me cant leh is nt surely go during NOV public holidays so wasted!! hais..... anyway have fun n update us when u r back!!
 
Ladies, need some urgent advice. Anyone stayed in Ambassador Hotel before? The location looks good, near to Nana station. But how's the hotel? room clean? breakfast edible?
 
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?
 
winnie
i emailed brenda and the meemee from the asia travel resend me the confirmation letter again.
i hope that means it's confirmed.

Btw, anyone know where exactly is Joy Collection being located?
 
hi all,
i will be flyng by Scandinavian nite flight 5D4N @Eastin fr 7-10 Oct (stay 2nites free 2nites)..cos thai flight coming bk got prob. Anyone try SAS-Scandinavian b4? wonder hows the svc and food....kakak.

hi bit bit,
thks for the weather forecast link! btw mi and fren already change some $$ at Suntec buy rate @0.0413(opp.Watson)

Hi gals,

Do u know how to know whether the taxi is a metereed taxi from the outside? Are all the taxis there metered ones or some are metered and some not?

How much shld I bring for a shopping trip for 4D 3N for me and my hubby?
 
hi fanyong,

all taxis have meter but it depends on whether they wanna switch it on
happy.gif
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 all,

I'm new to this forum. Must say it's quite good!! Everyone in here seemed so warm and friendly.

Anyway, just like some of u ppl, I'll be travelling up to BKK with my wife and friends this coming long Nov holiday. Will be staying at Asia Hotel from 11th - 16th. Was quite worried when i saw some of the treads mentioning that Asia htl is kinda dirty. Anyone been there recently??? can update me more??

Thanks....
 
hi all,
will be there with hubby on 15 Oct for 4 days. Coming back on Mon, 7pm flight bkk time.

however was thinking Patpong better or Suan Lum market? Tot of going one of them as dun think got so much time..
 
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.
 
Hi winnie, please share your compilation list with me. thanks. my emails is [email protected].

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.
 
A Good Monday Morning to all!!!

I'm new to this forum. I've actually booked a trip to BKK next month and need some sound advice from u avid travellers. Saw a lot of threads with regards to BKK but dunno where to start looking. Hope those who has just been there to pen down here if possible.

Was quite worried of the bird flu thingie leh... Did anyone encounter any incidents?
 


There's a new airlines flying to BKK from mid this year. Orient Thai. Anyone interested? I can forward the email from the travel agency to you guys. Too Bad I have booked mine via Thai Airway and Tiger!
