absolutely bro... i too don't really take taxi during the day... the traffic is horrible...
I remembered a few years ago i took the taxi at 8 plus from airport i can only reach my hotel at 11 plus! Somemore I have to take the bike as the driver gave up and ask me to take . Now i take the train service and only need 30 to 45 min. I can save the 2 hours to sleep in the hotel to recharge. The traffic in BBK now is similar like Jakarta .
I difffer that. Most international expensive hotels dun allow guest in (must pay guest fee)where else most local 4 stars and below allow......most accor/mercury group allow.......best is to check with hotel first before u book.....
You are in Bangkok not staying in 5 star hotels in Ho Chi Minh !.
You know Bangkok verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry well, oh !!!.

Exactly correct !. Holiday Inn in Silom and Ploenchit, Intercontinential Hotel....same same as the hotels that sojo just mentioned.

my friend took the airport express and i took a cab from airport. bugger reach hotel faster than me. next trip i will try taking the airport express.
there was once i had supper with the mamasans till 7 in the morning.. so hard to get a cab, and ended up being stuck in a jam for 90 minutes to get from raminthra to suk 10. not fun at all after a night of drinks and you badly need to pee!

You can also take the normal city line pretty fast provided which station u alight. And it is cheaper like 15 to 45 compare to express which i think is 130 Bht . Difference is express goes all the way to makkasan without stopping but express freq is 40 min per train. So if u miss one need to wait 40 min.
And yes i m going to take the airport train tomorrow
tired the lvl of service provided by mp, so tried escort from bangkok-1 a gal call mary. omg photo so nice ral person totally dun look like her lo. but svc not bad. anyway shoo her off after 1.5 hrs thous still got 30 mins left lol.
You can buy the 3 day train pass . I already gave up taxi during daytime in BBK,It take you only one stop from Thailand Cultural centre to Huai Khwang, I will only take taxi at early hours (3 - 4am) after drinking . Ppl in BBK have to sleep right ?
55555. During daytime I need to work so my sales mgr will drive me around so I will take taxi at night.....
Sometimes bts n train also a nightmare........just like shanghai like that......too many pple
If u talking about BKK, 2.5 LT in SC or Nana is almost impossible unless u talking about those standing outside by the road.
If u talking price in BKK vs Pattaya, then it is not a right comparison.
Ekamai has a few. I always go there and have dinner. The beef is damn good but a bit ex.
Will try ekamai.
In pattaya, bar fine is abt 500. And FL normally charges is 2k but sometimes can nego to 1.5k.
The last time I brought my boss to SC and its on valentines day this year. They charge Something like 1.5k for bar fine bcos its public holiday.....dun know wat logic is that.....maybe it's supply n demand factor la.......then turn midnight, bar fine revert to normal 700. And the FL charge 2.5k leh.
Pardon me hor......is there any event from 17-20 may? Seems like a few friends going to bkk during this period. I only know there is an exhibition going on from 14-17 may.
