BKK in May

There escalators follow timing one. And other then interchange stations, daytime all escalators go up and evening go down. Most likely you will be taxi all the way so you better know the meter pricing of places you want to go from hotel.

Airport rail have no problems with large luggage. It's when you want to change to BTS is when you might have a problem. Up to 25" still okay. I suggest go to ends of train rather then centre so that easier to go out later.

Take taxi ba

Honestly if your going with your mom. Why save that few dollars. Just take a taxi. If me i would rather my parents have comfort then to save on those few dollars.

Tks for your advice. I have decided to take taxi to and fro airport as my mom have problems with stairs and our luggages quite bulky and heavy.

I read that the taxi to and fro airport/Pratunam, anything more than 400B means kena carrot head. So I'll take note.

Some stuff can buy at member price at Big C. And I think Dede said buy 1200B got 120B off, but I don't think I can buy so much in a single receipt.

Think I won't be applying already since I don't have Thai address.

Will google for TOPS later. Tks for recommendation.

Is it easy to get taxi at Ratchaprarop Stn? Got taxi stand there? Was thinking maybe take taxi from there to Glow Hotel.

haha u alight the train station, then u stop there.
sure many cab approach you lol ....
think mostly wont go by meter ... coz they know u wont wanna walk even though the hotel is nearby ... 12min walk ...

 

[peanut_pancake]

Yes. It is a short walk, tried before. I walked along the main road though.

Wouldn't recommend you to walk to Glow from Ratchaprarop. You want you can alight at the station and take a cab, otherwise just take straight. 350-400 baht should be quite standard now. Give your mum the peace of mind lor. If younger people, by all means walk. The roads not easy to drag the luggage also.

I guess you can consider taking the taxi straight from airport as from the location of Glow, taxi driver may make a detour from the airport railway station to go to the front entrance of shibuya 19.
