  1. 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 ...

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
