Bangkok help...

[bluetwinkle]

Yesterday reach BKK, today going Khao Yai . Weather super good, where the haze

For the recent two years, the haze worsens in mid to late Jan till early Feb and it will just get better as Feb passes by. Generally the air in BKK is not that great but the haze period can be really bad. In my recent trip, I stayed on the 20th storey and had seen particles floating in the air outside on one morning.

I believe the haze period could be over by now. It is probably just the usual not so great air quality now.

Somewhere not planned and not in bucket list just to clear leave vs somewhere you want to go. Thats the diff. I am sure bali wont be as hot as bangkok. Nothing much is bangkok, Bali got rice terrace and more

If you don't do research, or don't know then don't say other country don't have rice terrace and more.

Bangkok is a city, more developed, and for shopping and so on. Not for sight seeing. If you insist to go somewhere, and u chose the wrong place, then don't blame the place. Blame yourself for not doing research.

You don't expect people to come SG and see rice terrace right?

This thread is moving quite a bit. Partly from TS's repeated questions and the "bashing" he gets. =P

A primary school boy I know of is way better than TS. At least he is clear about his holiday destinations and has valid reasons why a destination does not interest him and hence why he is not keen to go.

TS should probably blame it on his own budget rather than coming up with excuses why BKK is a bad place to visit. To think he has spent 5 days there and does not even know the toilets there are of relatively high standards. Even an old mall has clean and dry toilets that come with toilet papers and soap.

I am sure we will all appreciate one less person to snatch BKK tickets with us.

Hahaha. Agreed. But hor, flowerpalms is the threadstarter leh.

A little hard to agree on this point. Amari Watergate is at a relatively good location with bigger and nicer room than Novotel Platinum at a slightly cheaper price. Other than these, there are some misses at times. For example, I have met a relatively rude service staff during breakfast. I was really appalled by his attitude.

Before i went to bkk, i heard from my colleague that her cousin bought lots of stuff and they were stolen by someone in hotel probably housekeeping. The hotel is novotel and i am surprised such thing will happen because it is a top end hotel.

Cctv and records of entry to the room were to no avail to recover what they bought back. So when i stayed in spenza, whenever i leave my room i just locked those stuff in my luggage. And also for spenza, they will come do housekeeping for ur room everyday, even if you do not hang the sign for them to clean up

Aiyo TS, can't help but to think you are new to travelling?

All hotels should have daily cleaning services by default unless you specifically disallowed them by constantly having a "Do not disturb" sign or monetary saving is given to you in exchange for not cleaning the room.

As for theft cases, most hotels will remind you to use the safe for your valuables. Since most luggages use numbered locks, it won't take too long for someone to break in actually. It is a better than nothing effort though. Theft can happen anywhere and higher end hotel does not necessarily mean lower risks. Even in Tokyo, a business chain hotel that I generally use has started reminding guests to chain lock the door when they are inside the room as the number of reported thefts in the area has increased (I do wonder what about the times we are away from the room though). It can be a little tough to guard against theft but it definitely helps not to be too flashy and keeps the more attractive items locked away.
