R Selamat	26 January 2005
Stayed at Baiyoke Suite Hotel - Bangkok, Thailand.
If you have a short time to explore BKK, recommend the canal tour, which passes through more than 20 temples along the Chao Praya River and lets you see BKK as you will never see from land. Dream World was just OK. But good way to let your children spend their day instead of just sightseeing or shopping. Shopping in BKK was mind boggling. Too many night markets selling the same things at exorbitant prices. Not recommended for those who don't enjoy haggling. Shopping malls like MBK Centre, Central World Plaze, Emporium and Central Mall were OK. Lots of varieties too but more upmarket. Only managed three floors of the six floors of shopping in MBK Centre. But you can find almost everything you want there. Oh and I must recommend this Muslim, Pakistani and Indian restaurant called Al Sanar near Baiyoke Sky. Good food. Also another Muslim restaurant near Baiyoke Sky called Maeda.

Stayed at Royal River Hotel, The - Bangkok, Thailand.
We went to see the bidge over the river kwai; floating market as well as grand palace, reclining buddha, etc etc. One restaurant we can recommend is 'cabbages and condoms' off sukhumvit - excellent ambience and although not cheap is not expensive either. Silom village is worth a visit too, an up market hawker stall type place for tourists but prices are reasonable and again the ambience is great to unwind after a busy day walking the streets! Be warned Bangkok is not as cheap as it is made out to be; each tour you take has hidden extras so ask what exactly is included and what is not before booking.We did not find the traffic as bad as we imagined. Again, you need to know the correct fare before taking a tuk tuk, they will rip you off if you let them. A safer bet is to use a METERED taxi, they are cheap enough. When you arrive take a taxi outside of the airport, NOT one of the regular ones which charge Baht 350 to the centre as apposed to about Baht 120. Again, although we were informed the air quality was 'good' when we were there, it was pretty bad. Pollution is very bad and we did not see the sun for the whole time we were there due to the smog etc. Coming from Penang which is itself polluted, it is much much worse - Penang is extremely clean compared to Bangkok! At least you get nice clear blue skies and the air is clean too!

Stayed at Sofitel Silom Bangkok - Bangkok, Thailand.
Have been to Thailand 19 times for business and pleasure. My family too loves to visit as shopping is cheap, while food and service is the best in the world. I love to visit the Spa's and massage parlours like Health Land on Sathorn that are very good with reasonable prices. I visit restaurants like the Silom Village, Baan Rim Naam on the river and the Buffet style Food courts at the Night Market.

Stayed at Ambassador Hotel Bangkok - Bangkok, Thailand.
Usually the foreign food restaurants in Thailand are mediocre at best, but on this trip my girlfriend wanted to try the German Beer House across the street from the Ambassador Hotel, and I am glad she did. I had one of the best meals of pork roast, sauerkraut and mash potatoes I have ever had. And if you like sushi there are a couple of very good restaurants in the MBK shopping mall. Enjoy!

Stayed at Regency Hotel, Hatyai - Hat Yai, Thailand.
There is no pretence about Hat Yai. It is a small to medium sized Thai town, with nothing special...that's it. I went there with an open mind and came away feeling good about the trip. It is a clean town and the people are friendly. As for the shopping that I read so much about, I did not find anything that was very "special" or unique. Perhaps I am not a shopper and hence did not "look out" for things to buy. The Southern Bird's Nest restaurant in front of the Regency hotel serves pretty good food for a reasonable price -- 2 dishes with rice comes to B120. You can get a whole roast piglet for B800 but being alone, I could not possibly eat one whole piglet and missed the opportunity! No need for transport -- walk, as the streets are clean, and you get to see more. All in all, a very nice trip although it is not a place that I will return as there is nothing unique enough to lure me there again.

Stayed at Silom Serene Boutique Hotel - Bangkok, Thailand.
This was my third trip to Bangkok. It was a business trip so I did not have a lot of time for leisure. But there is a great restaurant two blocks away called Bua. The staff at Serene Silom will direct you. Avoid the TERRIBLE, and outrageously expensive mexican restaurant across the street on Silom Rd. Also check out the public boat on the Chao Praya river. For a few cents you can have a nice ride on the river.

Stayed at Rembrandt Hotel, Bangkok - Bangkok, Thailand.
Lemongrass on 5/1 Sukhumvit Soi 24 and Baan Khanita on 36 Sukhumvit Soi 23 are both fine upmarket Thai restaurants in walking distance to the hotel.

Stayed at Rydges Amora Tapae Chiangmai Hotel - Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Rattana's Kitchen just around the corner has great food which is really cheap.

Stayed at Royal Hotel - Bangkok, Thailand.
Turn right when you leave the hotel and after 200 meters you will find the Ratchadamnoen Cuisine: a small restaurant with friendly service and great food for little money. Try the prawns with garlic or tamarind and 'Morning Glory'.
M Sedam	01 January 2005
Stayed at Grand President - Bangkok, Thailand.
Two good places to eat our Thai House 2 on Soi 5 above foodland and Cabbages & Condoms on Soi 12 are nice and within walking distance to GP.
