Bangkok, Amazing Thailand - Thread II

[keyser_soze]

oh, and it's "Kop khun khap/kha"

kop - thank
khun - you
khap - if the speaker is male. equivalent of "po/opo" .."krap" formal
kha - if the speaker is female. ditto.


beware though that 'kop' is not stand alone, unlike the English equivalent. say the whole phrase, otherwise 'kop' would mean "frog".

pwede ring "kop chai" na lang. especially if you're speaking to a younger person.

^I guess I'll have to skip the exotic shows of patpong , sir do you think the iti is ok already or may mga lacking pa na places, as for the malls and shopping, what malls, markets, bazaars are quite near sa isat isa so I can have it placed in our visit and for our temple tour, what would you recommend me to move the next day for our Pratunam shopping. Thanks.

Pa-comment naman ako for this itinerary, I am having a hard time inserting the shopping time. If possible inputs for the bazaar and mall suitable for the given time or correction for the combination of places to visit is very much welcomed.

Thanks!

generally looks ok. here's some suggestions

Day 1 - malling. start at the Siam center area, all along the BTS route nakahilera lang ang mga high-end malls Siam Paragon, Gaysorn, Central World, Isetan, Central

Day 2 - i'd suggest mag-relax na lang kayo sa hotel instead of shopping pa in the evening. i see that it's a long, packed day

Day 4 - nag-overlap ang alloted times for Chatuchak at Siam Niramit show. give yourself ample in-between time to get to the show.

shopping?? kulang pa ba ang maghapon sa Chatuchak?

Day 5 - go for Option B

ayaw nyo ba ng day tour going to pattaya-koh lan island for some sun and sand beach hopping?

[ohsing]

Hi, patulong naman po. Im planning a trip with my mom for next year, singapore-malaysia-thailand. Alam ko madali lang yung sg-kl route. Ang prob ko is KL-BKK. Sa mga nabasa ko online, may train/bus daw from south ng thailand to bkk. Sa mga nakatravel na from KL to BKK, recommend naman po ng best way papuntang BKK. DIY po kami ng mom ko so medyo iniiwasan ko yung plane. hehe. Kung pwede po, pasabi naman kung paano, magkano, at gano kagtagal yung travel time via bus or train. thank you!!

What iti day should we remove and how much does it usually cost, correct me if im wrong the outlet store is at pattaya diba, do you think its cheaper to if we hire a van rather than book thru a travel agency, were 4 in the group.

any day from your iti basta you have to allocate this whole day kasi for sure pagod na kayo pagdating nyo ng gabi or pwede nalang kayo diretso ng mall after kasi before 8pm nasa bangkok na ulit kayo for dinner.

i have no idea in hiring a service vehicle. 'yung sa amin kasi dati 2 lang kami, all in all including transfers going to koh larn island and lunch ay kasama na. approx 1,100THB before.. ngayon yata almost the same.
nagbook kami sa

[winterskies]

I also have the same problem. I'll be in 4 countries on Sept.
2 hotels didnt require prepayment. they've just confirmed my reservation via email.
I've sent them an email if they could provide me with an official statement about my reservation so the immigration wont question me.. they cant provide anything except the email itself.

Last June, when I went to Singapore, Muntik nako hindi makaalis because I wasnt able to provide some booking confirmation. Akala ko kasi pwede nalang mag-hotel hopping pagdating. Ang strict ng immigration sa Pinas. Badtrip

HELP! what to do with no official booking statement from my hotels!!!

[winterskies]

Hi to those who booked for Lemonseed Room.

Maybe we are settled with this guesthouse. Kaso di pala sila nagpapabayad in advance. What will we present to immigration kung sakaling hanapan o tanungin kami.

Thank you for those who will reply.

Hi. I will be in Bangkok in November (22-25). Will be going there solo. Then I realize having a travel buddy might be more convenient, you know, splitting room costs and all, hehe. Just PM me if interested. This will be my first time in Thailand.
