Recommended for Bangkok Trip
There are few things I would like to share with u guys. I bet some of u went to bangkok before. Bet u guys already know stuffs that I'm going to introduce. For those who haven't visit bangkok before, this could be some helpful guide. Please dig in more info from internet ok?

Sightseeing:

  • Grand Palace - During summer, this place should be visited in the morning because after this destination, there will be more attractions. Within the palace complex, several worth seeing buildings are the Temple of Emerald Buddha/Wat Phra Kaew, collections of firearms, weapons, throne halls etc. REMEMBER!! U should visit this one 1st cause the ticket u bought is inclusive of entrances to Royal Plaza later. Both Grand Palace & Royal Plaza are located in different place.
  • Wat Pho (Temple of the Recling Buddha) - This place will only takes u less than an hour walking tour. It's up to u if u want to see a 3m long statue. Entrance Fees cost RM5, only for foreigners.
  • Royal Plaza - When u enter this area, there are a few more buildings, might probably take u 2hours ++ non-stop strolling under the hot sun. Vivanmek Mansion lived by few generations of Kings with their original antiques & furniture. Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall is the most stunningly domes. REMEMBER!! It is always nice for eyesight but most of them doesn't allow u to snap photo.

Important Notes:

  1. Please mind ur attire. For places above, NO bare
    shoulders/legs. Otherwise they'll give u a batik cloth to wrap around or
    they can prohibited u to enter.
  2. Check the visiting time & entrance fees as well.
  3. Prepare umbrella for sun shade or rain drops.

  • Riverside Cruise - If u don't run out of budget, try to have buffet dinner cruise. The cheapest we can get so far is from Riverside Hotel, RM68/pax. Start dinner at around 1830hrs till around 2100hrs. During weekend, additional RM16/pax is charged. Along the cruise at Chao Phraya, u can see the nightlife, part of Grand Palace, Wat Arun, all International Hotels such as Shangri-La, Penisular, Hilton etc.


Shopping Crave:

  • Along Sukhumvit Road, 4 giant shopping malls selling mostly branded stuffs. U can find any brand u like, as i was told... Siam Paragon, Siam Center, Siam Square & MBK.
  • Along Petchaburi Road, Central World Plaza is kinda International Mall with Isetan. At opposite, Big C Mall is like Sungei Wang Plaza. Platinum is a wholesale emporium selling all kinds of women & men apparels, shoes, accessories, bags, food etc, REMEMBER!! their wholesale is mostly 3 item & above. So don't blur blur go & ask wholesale price for 10 pieces. Pantip Plaza sells IT stuffs like Low Yat Plaza.
  • Khao San - opens daily from morning till night. Lots of stuff to buy & bargain. try some of their local food. It's delicious. In case u can't bear the sun heat, Swensons, Burger King, McDonald & Pizza Restaurant are ready to serve u. REMEMBER!! Their sterling silver are mostly sell as wholesale & in USD currency.
  • PatPong - night shooping streets infamous of those TigerShows, Strip Dance, pubs, prostitutions, stalls that sells stuffs like our Petaling Street. U can choose any girls u want & depends on ur budget. According to my friends, with RM270 u can bring back to hotel & stay overnight. Of course, the cheaper u pay, the lousier u get lor...
  • Floating Market - I think this is very well-known attraction in Bangkok. REMEMBER!! U really need to plan the time for this. From Bangkok city, It might take 2 hours or worst if u stuck in traffic jam. Another thing is, do Bargain.

Health Purposes:
  • U can find all kind of massage from face to toes.
  • Everywhere is cheap. Averagely less than RM50 for 2 hours. It depend how much u are willing to pay.
  • Hair wash / hair do is cheap as well. Averagely RM10 for normal wash & blow dry. Don't worry u can rely on their shampoo.
  • REMEMBER!! Don't over stress urself during trip. Try slot in some time to have massage to relief ur tireness & sore feet.
