Stayed at Pathumwan Princess - Bangkok, Thailand.
|
We were only in Bangkok for two full days so did not do a lot of sightseeing. Visited the Royal Palace which is excellent, but do watch out for touts trying to tell you it is closed and wanting to take you on a tour of their own instead. Ignore them and once inside you can hire a proper guide if you wish.

Stayed at Montien Hotel Bangkok - Bangkok, Thailand.

Shopped at MBK and World Trade Center as well as for raw silk. Used MRT and maybe 1 or 2 cabs. MRT far more useful and fast.

Stayed at Admiral Suites - Bangkok, Thailand.

Bangkok is always an enjoyable place to be in. There is always something new to discover each time you go there. Take the river boat along the Choa Praya and stop at any stop to go discover places. And do not fail to walk through Chinatown. This trip, we discovered Little India, which is fascinating in itself. Forget the mega shopping centres - nothing interesting.

skytrain is a great way to travel and is inexpensive(around $3AU all day). stops are conveniently placed to hotel, access from second level and close to many points of interest EG shopping, River tour pier and chatuchuk markets.

Stayed at Mandarin Bangkok, The - Bangkok, Thailand.
|
Although it's my first time to visit Bangkok, I feel very comfortable to look around there. People are very friendly, food is also very nice. Pattaya is 3hour drive by bus from Bangkok, it's a very relaxing city if you'd like to enjoy sunshine, beach as well as sea sports.

Stayed at Royal Benja Hotel - Bangkok, Thailand.

Gullivers bar is in the same Soi and has the best and most comprehensive sports coverage in Bangkok! The MRT station is about 300m easy walk.

Stayed at Banana Fan Sea Samui - Samui, Thailand.
|
We went in the low season (May) but Chaweng Beach didn't seem crowded at all and it was kept really clean. Transport was easy along Chaweng road. There was lots of Taxis and Songthaew. Chaweng is ideal as a base to go on tours, see the island, buy things you forgot to bring or simply take a break from backpacking although you might look forward to something a bit more peacefull after a while. The food and accomodation can be expensive compared to what you pay on Koh Phangan or Koh Tao. Blue Stars kakaying tour to the marine park is well worth paying a bit more for.

Stayed at Asia Bangkok Hotel - Bangkok, Thailand.

We visit Bangkok at least twice a year. The thai food, shopping and massage/spa never disappoint us.
For good thai food with nice ambience, we recommend Baan Khanita & Blue Elephant.
If you enjoy shopping at Chatuchak (exclude the sunny weather), be sure to visit Suan Lum Night Bazaar although the price can be higher than Chatuchak. But don't hesitate to bargain.
Massage & spa are easily available everywhere in Bangkok, but we like Marble House (for thai massage) and Dulaya Spa especially.
Travelling in Bangkok is breeze. You can reach most places by BTS and MRT. Otherwise, the racy tuk-tuk is fun for short distance.

Stayed at Felix River Kwai, Kanchanaburi - Kanchanaburi, Thailand.
|
Kanchanaburi is small enough to get around on foot, although the heat can slow this down a fair bit. I would highly recommend takiong a trip to the Erewan waterfalls. It's a bit of hard work but nothing too exhausting and swimming in the pools more than makes up for this.
A great place to eat is the restaurant at Apple's Guest House. The food does take a little while to arrive, but it is more than worth it. The best food we have had in Thailand by quite a long way.
