Thailand 2010

Oct 2010 Bangkok, Thailand

After my volunteer trip in Nepal, I stopped over Bangkok for a few days.

On my flight from Kathmandu to Bangkok, I encountered this unpleasant incident, which I have given my feedback to Thai Airways, but they have not response on my feedback.

Flight from Kathmandu to Bangkok



During my short stay in Bangkok, I stayed in a budgeted hotel/hostel, Take A Nap. It was good-value-for-money, very reasonably priced, clean and safe.

Hotel/Hostel:

Review on Hostel:
Very good value for money. The dormitory has 7 beds, with attached toilet/shower room. Each bed comes with a safety box, where you can deposit your valuables. Conveniently located near the night market at Silom (5 minutes walk).



my bed (comes with pillow and blanket)


A reading light and a mini-wardrobe by the side of the bed


Individual Safe Deposit Box for safekeeping of valuables.

How to get to Hotel from Airport:
Take the bangkok airport train from Airport to Phaya Thai Station, where you can change to BTS Skytrain (Sukhumvit line). From Phaya Thai station, you can take 2 stops to Siam Station, and change to the BTS Silom Line. Stop at Sala Daeng Station (2 stops away from Siam Station) along Silom Line. Walk to Take A Nap hotel (about 10 minutes walk).

BTS Skytrain

Silom area is famous for its night market, Patpong. The market opens as early as afternoon and closes around 1 or 2am.



Does this remind you of Petaling Street (Chinatown) in Kuala Lumpur?





I love this, for only THB20, I have got 12 quail eggs, yummy!
