Sawadeekap. Finally, another backpacking trip and this time I chose Bangkok, Thailand.
Let’s read my experience in Bang Bang Bangkok, Thai:
Arrived at Suvarnabuhmi Airport around 5.15pm. Long queue at immigration as usual 🙂
Thanks to 2 months research on transportation in Bangkok. We took City Link train (Airport train) to Makkasan for only 45bht.
Hey Air Asia!
Free shuttle bus service
Airport City Link direct to Makkasan station
They used coin instead of ticket
From Makkasan, interchange at Phya Thai to Ratchaprarop. I still got a problem in pronouncing it properly until today.
At Phya Thai station, we bumped into one lady in hijab. We asked lots of questions about Halal restaurants in Bangkok. Coincidentally, she’s a student from UIA and can speak Malay fluently with Kelantanese accent. Wow!
The adventure begins at Ratchaprarop station.
We walked down the street to find Pratunam City Inn Hotel. Ask lots of people about our hotel’s location. They showed us way to hotel via Pratunam Night market
Then, an uncle pointed out a small street near the night market as a route to our hotel. Okay it’s a bit scary as the street looks like I’m in Chow Kit Road, KL. (KL-ites u’ve got what I mean right?)
Yes, it’s Pratunam Hotel according to signage board. Passed our passports and booking receipt to the receptionist.
However, the girl said, this is not the right hotel. This is Pratunam Citiinn.
Oh gosh huh!!!!
We asked one luggage boy to write it in Thai language.
I can’t walk any further. But, we need to get out from this lorong and night market. We need to find the main road.
My idea to the girls was taking a tuk tuk to our hotel. A guard at Baiyoke Tower helped us taking a tuk tuk. It’s not that far actually.
Green Tuk Tuk
Riding a tuk tuk was real fun. So fast 🙂
Yay! Finally our hotel- The Pratunam City Inn Hotel. The righteous one.
Our room
Toi toi toilet
Dropped our bag in hotel room and back on the Pratunam street. We went to Pratunam Night Market again. This time we’ve got plenty of time to walk around without any burden J
Oh-I’m-so-in-love-with-this-coconut FACE
We’re tired! Tuk tuk please bring us ‘home’
Okay, let me talk about our receptionist in this hotel.
His name is Tommy.
He was so nice.
We asked him lots lots lots of questions.
He gave us free map and showed the most convenient way to go to favorite places.
He explained in super details J
He called taxi and tuk tuk with reasonable charges
He even won’t let us trap in tourist scam.
Alhamdulillah for meeting lovely people like this.
At lobby, we met a couple from Malaysia who just got back from Chatuchak market. They also very nice to us by sharing their experience in Chatuchak market.
Tommy explained to my friend about Chatuchak Market
