Help for First Time BKK Itinerary

[ApeTruelove]

DMK...I went to the taxi queue on far left side...many people but still clears quite fast...

You mean there's another queue called IMM? What's the difference?

I think I saw a big "TAXI" sign when I first exited immigration. That's the one? Wanted to first get the tourist map as recommended in the forum and was pointed to the Tourism ministry counter. Then when I asked about taxi, was pointed to far left of airport not the one I saw originally.

Anyway, DMK arrival hall like Penang, Kuching kind...very cannot make it. Was surprised when I entered their departure hall....Almost like our T1. Haha....

Dmk departure now really jin jialat. Last time very smooth de

I cant seem to find how much is the bus fee per trip .. like from pratunam i want to go to MBK by bus .. or to asiatique by bus .. How much will it take ? I am planning how much should i have in my rabbit card LOL!

Oh the PRCs....Haha, can hear them from a mile away...

I and an ang mo sitting on same row of seats at our airport gate watching in amusement as one after another member belonging to the same PRC family walked over to the plastic dustbin nearby to throw their bottles and instant noodles boxes. The dustbin has a lid that you supposed to push open with one hand and then throw the stuff in with the other hand. Those pp use their rubbish to push the lid, refusing to touch the lid with their hands at all costs. Haha.....End up bottles jam the lid and the last woman came and opened the whole lid to throw her instant noodle box. Faintz.....

Not all buses have Rabbit service. I also walked from Pratunam to MBK. It's practically malls all the way there or can take the under BTS skybridge there. Prices depends on what type of bus also so can be 9 baht to 25 baht.

In the end never bothered with rabbit card.

Only can use as stored value card. Need to apply to activate point accumulate feature and stay long enough. So far, only Siam bts is that bad during rush hour that its convenient to have Rabbit card. Otherwise usually 20-30min queue at ticket machine. Rather walk to National Stadium BTS.

later u take bus the bus driver wont understand english ...
the best way is to take bts to saphan taksin then walk 5 min ferry pier
then take free shuttle boat to asiatique, 10 to 15 min ...

 

[sianeveryday]

Hm, usually i just grab a cab.. it IS possible to go via meter. Been there 3/4 times, always on meter. Just gotta be patient to find one that takes you on meter...

You can probably take bus 17, but what's the point of travelling across central Bangkok, with its traffic jams? You have better control of your time if you take the metro and river route. This way, you will be above all that. If you are going anywhere near the Chao Phraya before heading for Asiatique, take the river taxi to Sathorn Jetty (aka Saphan Taksin BTS) and transfer to their boat.

Depends on individual. In my case, saved enough for a meal at mbk foodcourt by walking.
