what do you do when in Thailand?

[sendtolee]

Try out Yunomori Spa in BKK! Very value for money, considering the standard of service and the atmosphere. They have onsens, snooze lounge and a cafe for all guests.

Which package did you get? How much?
Did you tip the therapist?

I been there too, I tipped 100 bhat for a 60mins massage.

No right or wrong, I think 100 bhat is just about right for a 30+30mins massage for 2 type, took the package. There are like about 10 different type of package mix and match, I took one with massage (2 types) + onsen.

Rot Fai Market mean train market, all night market in bkk, they like to call it train night market.
There are total of 4 if I'm not wrong, look out for the last name as not to confuse. Example Neon market which is at Pratunam.
Only Artbox is different night market.

in bangkok, some people do speak teochew especially those older ones ...

Because they are thai chinese. At least 10% of thai population is thai chinese just that younger generation cant speak dialect or chinese.

so far those that spoken to us, they are not thai chinese ...
they told us they learn thai due to more chinese tourists ...

I have thai friends learning Chinese in University, went to Beijing, Shanghai for exchange program. Even after coming back from china, their Chinese skills are not up to the level.

I think the better way is to speak to locals as in tourists in Thailand.

same like most of us here, we can speak Thai, I think is because we speak to the local not learn thru books
