Bangkok is the capital city of and largest urban area in Thailand. It is known in Thai as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon or simply Krung Thep, meaning "city of angels". I have been to this magnificent city several times and luckily I was assigned to visit it again. I always make sure to have a land arrangement with day tour before coming here because most of the Thai people does not speak or understand English.
Upon arriving at the airport, a hotel shuttle will fetch you ( for land arrangement) to take you to your hotel. You can also take the free airport shuttle to the Public Transportation Centre in town. A taxi costs THB 200 (about Php 275). When in the city, you may use the BTS Skytrains to avoid traffic jams. Tuk-toks ( Tricycle version in the Philippines) are available but only for short distances.
Most of the hotels in Bangkok have free breakfast. If you want to have the best service ever then go to the chain hotels like the Conrad, Sheraton and Dusit Thani are conveniently located at the town center. By the river, you best bets are the Peninsula Hotel and Shangri-la. However if you are in a tight budget, you can choose other 3 stars hotel near the commercial areas. First House hotel is recommendable.
After your day tour package, fill your day with shopping and spa pampering. For good bargain, shop at Platinum and MBK then hit Chatuchak Market on weekends . For high end shopping, hit Siam Paragon, Central Childron, and Gasorn Plaza. For aromatheraphy and massages, Health land offers exceptional pampering services at good prices. Actually you can get an authentic Thai massage at your hotel so you can just relax at your own room at your own time.
At night, you can either clink glasses with your friends at Hide and Seek Gastro Bar at Athenee Residence (Soi Ruamrudee). Or, you can catch the award-winning Siam-Niramit Show. :)
Please note of the country code +66 (2)
