Junjie 1st Gear March 20, 2008 Share March 20, 2008 That r many choices to cater for under asiaroom.com depends on your budget...try to choose hotel near to the BKK central if it's yr first visit...i.e near to Platinium (wholesale centre), MBK, Siam Paragon, Erawan Shrine(Phraphom 4 Face Deity)....For Wat visit, can try Wat Suthat, Wat Inn (Somdej Toh), Wat Paknam (Luang Poh Sod), Wat Pradochimplee (Luang Poh Toh), Wat Rakang, Wat PraKeow......makan can try Somboon (reasonable price seafood),Yao Watrug (Chinatown).. better hurry and visit Suan Lam Night Market (area closing down soon)if near weekend, can try chatochak market, can take BTS (= to MRT).... Just note try not to take the tutu or taxis that offer to bring u wats hopping or visit places, sure regret...take cab ask to on meter...if want to take river taxi, take the one in the centre (meant for locals, very very cheap)....

Yoyo700 Neutral Newbie March 20, 2008 Share March 20, 2008 Just came back from bangkok last week, stay in Asia Bangkok Hotel book from the internet. Rate per night is about S$100.00. Very convienent, skytrain is just beside the hotel. Can reach most of the shopping by train, personally don't encourage the taxi because the jam can be very serious. Don't forget to go and pray the four face buddha nearby central plaza. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed_ong Clutched March 20, 2008 Share March 20, 2008 I always go BKK two times a year to pray to 4 Faced Buddha. Stay at Holiday Inn Bangkok next to Intercontinential. Just opposite the 4 Faced Buddha. Rooms are great. Very modern and location is super. Next to Central World Plaza and 10 mins walk on Skywalk to Siam Paragon.

Megaweb Clutched March 20, 2008 Share March 20, 2008 Agreed with Yoyo700. Stay near to sky train or mrt station is convenient to travel around. When road is congested, taxi and buses are stucked. Go to their Tourist shop to get free map. Read this useful Bangkok link at http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showthread.php?p=28908541 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed_ong Clutched March 20, 2008 Share March 20, 2008 Correct. I stayed at the Marriott Resort and Spa at the Riverside. Its will take about 40mins to reach the 4 Faced Buddha. Have to take the free river shuttle service and the Skytrain. Although scenery is nicer and less traffic, but not advisable if u want to shop. Staying at hotels near the BTS is much better. If can, try to walk at the Skywalk which is very good idea. Instead of walking on the pavement and smelling all the fumes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutty 4th Gear March 20, 2008 Share March 20, 2008 Anyone knows if the suan lum night market is still opened? I'm referring to both the shops and the open air dining area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoonz 4th Gear March 20, 2008 Share March 20, 2008 Yup... Still open... Think the BTS station is called Lumpini or something like that... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil1001 Neutral Newbie March 20, 2008 Share March 20, 2008 stay anywhere along the skytrain (I usually @ the meriden) other popular hotels along the stretch Novotel (Siam Sq). try to stay along the skytrain cos traffic is a killer. for shopping the must do is MBK Marbonkong (shoes), Siam Sq, Chatuchat weekend market (T-Shirts S$4-5 must buy about 3-5pcs), Patpong night market,(copy watches abt S$10)Partunam wholeslae market (must walk, not along the skytrain). Enjoy.... "where you come from sir? me love you long time" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultramega 1st Gear March 20, 2008 Share March 20, 2008 After long day of shopping should indulge in massage mah! go bangkok never try their massage then is most of Bangkok stuff also can find in singapore what, except it's cheaper there. If u are buddhist then also must go see the famous 4 face buddha.Some go visit the White dragon which is very famous among HK celebrities and businessmen. where to find this White Dragon?

Babyckh 5th Gear March 20, 2008 Share March 20, 2008 i think it's abe 1.5 to 2 hrs drive from bangkok. You must go early to take queue number. People usually reach there by 5am to queue because there is a limited number of people the Master will see, hence the queue system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
