Bangkok, Day 1 (2014)

14-8-2014

Haven't been in Bangkok near 9 years.

This time chose to stay in Silom. Taxi from Don Muang Airport cost 250b exluding 110b Toll fee.

Triple 8 Inn

1060baht including tax per night

Twin deluxe room

BTS is 6-7 mins walking distance.

First stop, Chatuchak Weekend Market. Only open Sat & Sun. BTS to Mo Chit Station

This garlic bread is nice

20b per piece

The popular Coconut ice cream

Stop by a stall for pork noodle (50b)..

GG craving for crepe.

This is the famous coconut stall.

Much better than the earlier one. Come with free coconut drink.

We alight at Ratchathewi Station and take a Tuk Tuk to Pratunam.

100b per trip.

After this, we realised taking a taxi is much much cheaper than Tuk Tuk and Train. Most of our journey cost 50-60b in our this trip. Tuk Tuk easily cost 100-150b. If there is 2 or more to travel, taxi is much more worthwhile. No need to walk up and down the stairs...

But remember must mention to turn on meter, there are still alot Taxi don't turn it on.
