Bangkok Trip - Part 1

[ApeTruelove]

yalor. grab is the best. we know the fare up front. I didn't try bolt before

sometimes when we speak too fast. they won't understand our English. same as when I talk with my thai friends

agreed. tuk tuk worst. even thai ppl don't take tuk tuk

There is pros and cons for both. Some places grab etc need to wait very long but taxi is ready available.

Same for Tuk Tuk, just negotiate with the driver. Short distance, Tuk Tuk can cut through heavy traffic, as they can take back lane.

Anyone has any reservation staying in a hotel close to the hospital. I intend to book a hotel that is like 500m away, 5 min walk from Bangkok hospital. Like is there any saying don’t stay so close to hospital?

Just book what is convenient for you....

I am deciding between Maitria Rama 9 and
A-One Bangkok hotel. Both location are very similar. I just wonder which is a better hotel or in a slightly better location though from the map, they are close by.

 

[luckygal]

Can I check. Do your mind if the hotel you book is like 5 min walk or like 500m away from a not too bad private hospital?

maybe you can check with the hospital you are going to visit as they offers package deal including transport, accommodation, medical, etc where they will arrange for everything from the moment you step out of the airport till treatment is over.

Nope. Not visiting the hospital at all. What I meant is do your mind staying in a hotel that’s that near to a hospital.
