  1. This article popped up in my feed this morning. It's a year old, but hopefully still relevant. https://www.vice.com/en_asia/article/9kkwk7/bangkoks-most-expensive-street-food-is-totally-worth-it
  2. Ha, fish and chips are terrible. There's absolutely no seasoning on the fish or in the batter they fry it up in. It takes a strong ale just to get it down your throught. You'd think it's impossible to make seafood dry and bland but the Brits have perfected it.
  3. Uber's business strategy in most places is to keep prices very low to push out any competitors especially traditional taxi services which usually can't compete. They are even getting some cities to pilot initiatives that subsidize some portion of uber rides if they're taking you to public transit. Regular taxis just can't compete. In a place like Bangkok, they are taking on a different route since such a large portion of the lower income population may not even have bank accounts much less debit and credit cards. So they target a higher income demographic so can start at a higher price point than in other counties, essentially ignoring the lower income market.
  4. It seems a waste to travel to a place and not try the local food. And I don't mean in the high end restaurants I mean local. The best chicken I ever had was street fried chicken in India where I saw the guy pull the chicken out of the hot grease then just grab it with his hands and toss some dry seasoning on it that made it amazing. He must have no more feeling in his palms but the food was great. Not to mention street side samosas for 2 rupees.
  5. That's what I'm hoping. I arrive at 10pm on a Friday night. Have you experienced any troubles getting through that late in the evening?
  6. Thanks, yes I am arriving at BKK. And its not my first time, (2nd actually) but Ill plan on taking a taxi. Thanks.
  7. Hello all, Thanks for posting this topic. I arrive on a Friday night at about 10pm. Would you advise taking the ARL or a taxi at that time of night on a Friday?
