Bangkok help...

[Andrew833]

Hi, can i know what is the recommended way to go from Suvarnabhumi Airport to hotel near Terminal 21 please?

4 pax travelling. (4 luggages) arrival @ 11am.

Thanks.

Cab but if 4 big luggage, you need 2 cab or big taxi.

 

[Andrew833]

curious what are rare veggies you can't in sg?
I thought northern sausage are stuffed with sticky rice to ferment the meat, which gives it a little sourish taste.

I think there are many veggies grow in thai and eat by local, don't export out to sg. If you go to their wet market, there are many veggies you don't find them in sg.

 

[rrr2015]

yes there are uncommon ones but not alot, even thai don't eat that much of those

recommend cab.....1 pax sgd4-5max

Wow that's cheap man!
Thanks.

Usually for big taxi, is it like twice the price or is it common or have to wait long long that kind? Haha. Or we need to go to a special counter and not the regular taxi stand?

Most probably we will want to hire a big taxi @ the airport as my parents prefer to be in 1 taxi as compared to 2.

Thanks.

high chance u would need to get a bigger cab (toyota innova), you can try message drivers on tripadvisor, should be about 700b inclusive of toll
if u press the airport taxi ticketing for bigger cab, the price should be more than that. Friends have tried few times, everytime more than 700b ...
sometimes even 875b ...

Alternatively, you can try to take 2 normal taxi ...
which is about 350 to 450b one way ...

On the screen, you can select the standard taxi, or a bigger taxi ...
my advise would be best to book your own driver , also the bigger taxi car type, toyota innova, which is 700b

message few drivers before, at least 2 quoted 700b.
others quoted 750b to 900b ... inclusive of toll charges etc.
he will wait for u, write your name on a paper. u just go look for him ...

Asiatique is more jia lat

 

[Hamwichh]

I thought northern sausage are stuffed with sticky rice to ferment the meat, which gives it a little sourish taste.

I tried to ask mom but she doesn't know the english names for the vegetables. But according to her, they are best eaten within 1 or 2 days. The sausages I think I know what you're referring to but the variation she bought is more of a spicy, smokey kind, not the light brown/gray one that is stuffed with fermented pork.

 

[Andrew833]

Asiatique is more jia lat

I didn't go Asiatique during last trip. Actually, many places flood with tiong.

 

[dede1217]

Asiatique normally would advise my friends to go once or twice enuff already ...
Unless u like the atmosphere, then can keep going there ...

 

[surfbuyer]

Anyone fly on bangkok airways before can share your experience on their service?

Tbh the atmosphere and ambiences there is really nice. Very nice to chill at the bar area but too much tiong. Totally spoil liao.

Hi guys, any comments about this itinerary?
Possibly might have one day to explore Bang Krachao or Ayyuthaya, but KIV first.
I have 2 accommodation locations.
1 is near Bang Son BTS, checking out on Monday and the other is near Nana BTS.
Basically it's a relaxed trip, but was thinking of how to group places together so that won't waste time.
I have somewhat a rough idea, but was thinking of how to 'strengthen' the itinerary.
Please if you have any thoughts or comments, do let me know!
Will reach on Thursday, 16th May at 1210, then reach AirBNB probably around 1400.

I thought AIRBNB is illegal in Thailand like SG??? Anyway for your trip is you might want to change

16 May and 17 May
Can remove Chatuchak Market and Khlong Lad Mayom Floating Market because is weekend market.
Box Space Night Market and Hua Mum NM both is night market so you need to decide which one to go.

Maybe you can change your friday itinerary like visiting main tourist attraction like wat pho, wat arun, grand palace, chinatown and asiatique.

After reading your itinerary, I don't know where to start
1) too many markets, you will be bore with it. You can search through tripadvisor to check if that market is worth to visit, some not worth so why waste your time there.
2)pointed out by @ApeTruelove. Chatuchak Market is weekend market, so only open on sat and sun.The Camp Vintage Market is just beside it, so can be done in 1 day. Union mall and JJ mall are nearby, do check map for easy planning.
3) Khao San Road is happening in the evening with lots of amk and backpacker, I don't think you will like it.
4) you can group up attraction like, Chinatown, wat pho, lhong 1919. Chinatown is busy place in the morning and turn to night foodie place in the evening.
5) Pratunam got many malls example Big C, The Market etc, not just Platinum Mall and Pratunam Market.
6) Safari World - Need to drink more water, it's very hot there. There are many shows, get the time table from the counter, try to go 10 mins earlier for better seat, show with water don't seat too near, beware of water splashing. The last show end around 6pm but mostly book tour/klook with end around 3.30pm so check your booking.
7) lastly, your gf will love this place Talad Rod Fai Ratchada, so go early, maybe add another day if you/her like it.

I think it's illegal, but do and don't get caught I guess!
Haha.

Ah okay, I'll remove CTC Market and Khlong Lad Mayom.
I thought CTC Market is 7 days a week?
Guess I am wrong.
What do you recommend, Box Space or Hua Mum?
Quite similar right?

And okay, noted on the Friday itinerary change!
Thank you!
