Why you nv stay pratunam?

Hmm personally don’t like that area, too crowded and noisy.
Asoke is okay, but pratunam is a no for me.
Favourite area is still thong lo though.

[flowerpalms]

some questions:

how to go from Pratunam to Wat Arun? Where to take the ferry to cross the Chao Phraya river

is the Chao Phraya riverfront means the same Asiatique? is my day 4 ok

 

[flowerpalms]

i can't really group them carefully.

and if there are recommended places to go and see, can you help me see if theycan be slot in any days? somehow i feel something is missing piece in my trip plan

Go 2 - 2 1/2hr before your flight. No need to go the night before and camp at airport.

for the insurance, i will buy next weekend b4 i go.

If there is a discount now (always have), then just get it. don't have to wait actually. But up to you.

Lunch at Pratunam market?

personally, i don't think need to plan dinner and lunch eat at where, unless there is a specific place you want to go to eat. otherwise, just eat wherever u are at the point of time.

Day 1 and 2

central world, Pratunam is only side by side. now with the bridge, it's even easier to walk.
no need to split into two days. if you been to orchard, tampines mall, you been to central world.

massage can also be anywhere, can places even offer hotel room massage service. you can check with Arunda if u want, since they basically just beside your hotel.

Day 5

u can leave your luggage at your hotel after you check out. u still have around 1 - 1 1/2hr to walk around before u leave for airport.

your night activity too little. massage then go back hotel? and massage after dinner? maybe massage before dinner? are you those type that sleeps at 9-10pm oversea or in sg? otherwise, all your night, you can go to night market or pubs instead of dinner > hotel.
u are basically wasting all your nights there as far as i can see.

lastly, if possible, don't buy last min item at their airport. markup x 3-5.
if you need to burn your cash before you come back, i am willing to collect that cash u want to burn at your house. get your item over the days when you at the city, not at the airport.

[Delsamor]

I go bkk until sian liao, even spending 3hrs there I feel super bored. Now got this iconsiam mall maybe can go see see look look. Too bad bkk is a transit city for me to fly cheaply to other parts of Thailand.

Haha i nv go bkk b4 i also feel sian ah having to be there just to clear leave. No choice nowhere to go solo if not i choose other place. Wanted to go chiang mai, khao kho etc for the scenery though

Take the regular ferry to Tha Tien, which is the pier for the Grand Palace. The shuttle to Wat Arun operates from there.

This is not a scenic stretch of the river, and you cannot see Wat Arun from there.
