Siam Niramit is amazing .. and I don't like theater ...

Erawan Museum, at the end of To Bearing ...

You have the major items ... Don't forget Wat Pho, Democracy circle, Victory monument, the Skytrain, a SkyBar/Dinner event. The boats to Wat Arun just cross the river. I'd suggest taking a dinner cruise from the city pier. Make sure you get an inside table in case it's hot outside. There's also the Hajime robot restaurant where a robot serves you, and you cook your food at the table. A trip to Ayyuthaya should kill an hour up and back, and a few hours up there looking at crumbling ruins of the old Siam empire. Mo Chit for the Chatuchak weekend market. A real, legitimate 2-hour massage and wrap in a mud bath. The Siam Ocean World aquarium is in the bottom floor of Siam Paragon. National Monument, Golden Mount, Royal Barge, Wat Suthat and the giant swing, Jim Thompson house, Bangkok art center, MBK, Gun ranges ??? Here's a list of over 250 things to do ...

This should probably be in the 'Restaurants, Places to Eat and nightlife' forum.

If you go in the next few weeks then give a shout back. I'm considering this a venue to hit on my next trip (soon) and any feedback would be appreciated. Your opinion of the quality of food, atmosphere, view, etc. Prices and pictures help as well. If I have this right, it's just down the street from Soi Cowboy (Asoke) ...

Long Table Looks nice

I see a lot of people carrying cameras around, and they still had their cameras with them.

I went to the one on the corner of Suk Soi 8 and had alterations done to my jacket. Now you all know tailors in Thailand don't like leather jackets, but they got the work done.

There are a ton of tattoo shops all over Bangkok .... Just look at the artwork outside until you find one with a style you like.

WTF ... Why is someone with just 1 post to their name posting links to the Holiday Inn Express Siam? Was this supposed to be a new post that they are trying to sell their HIX reservation they have to let go?

You can make real boobs from the bodies natural material now. One of my medical investments does this kind of work.

what?

It is one of the safest cities I have even been in. But it's also a city and I never leave anything worth over $20 out in the open regardless of where I'm at. Most laptops will fit in the safes. While the staff may not do anything there's always that chance something could happen, like someone slipping into your room. And if they can't see it they're not motivated to try anything. Out of sight, out of mind. I've always put my laptop in the safe. It looks like it can hold up to 15" easily on the common room safe types.

Always lock valuables in your safe when you are leaving them in the room. While there is a high trust factor in the city it's not 100% guaranteed.

I've never been required or asked to show return flight information after arriving at BKK.

3k/day is very comfortable, as long as you don't get carried away.

At the cheap end ... If you get 1 drink in a bar, no LDs and just BF 1 girl for ST ... And let's say you're eating on the skinny with street food and nothing fancy .... The tourism is done yourself without guides and you SkyTrain or walk where you need ... Then on average you could do this on 1,500 baht daily easily. This could drop if you go after beer garden girls or freelancers instead. Add 500 baht/daily if you're looking for a better time and non-negotiating or starlet BF girls. Estimates for 2-days 2,000 BF for girl 150 for bar drink 250 baht transportation 600 baht food (300 baht/day) So that's like 1,500 baht daily.

Other people apparently did .. Any they were his accomplices. Courage is not the lack of fear but the ability to face it." ---- Lt. John B. Putnam Jr. (1921-1944)

Seems like we have nothing to fear, they have no idea how to throw grenades. On the other hand, it was way down on Soi 71 which is pretty far away from most of the tourist stuff and more around the Muslim neighborhood.

Take the middle road and let the people of LOS lure you into that which entertains you.

Next time you go loot at the VAT total on all of the receipts you receive. You might be surprised how little you can actually document.

People are prone to only put up good reviews though. I take any negative review seriously.

The best places to get electronics, imo, would be the 4th floor of MBK where all the electronic gurus hang out at in their shops. But if you ask me, you won't get any deals there better than you would get in your own country.

A river dinner cruise is a good way to go. Here's a night shot of a dinner cruise going by.

Stayed at the hotel again. Still the same place it always is but there are a few locals living there due to the flooding on the edges of the capital. Here's a view of the hotel from the back alley. This is how you'll enter in the evening/night as the front door at the restaurant is closed. The entrance is at the end of the alley on the right. It's behind the 'Eight Plus' sign in the picture.
