i tink tis r all the famous places u can visit:thumb:nt sure whether there r other places??

[mamu27]

wat i can recall from my last BKK trip..

 

if u wana go chatuchak or jatuchak market, go recce on saturday late noon.

take note of the EXACT location.

got block number, lane num, and finally shop unit number.

 

sunday all shops open but more people.

i usually come early2. shop till lunch time, den i go back.

 

if u wana buy kapchai bike accessory, stop at Saphan-kwai station.

alot of shops by the road side. closed 6pm local time. sun close.

 

majority taxi dun use meter.. unless...

its those 'government' company.

if im not wrong, those taxi green/yellow colour use meter.

the rest, those blue, pink taxis all use 'market price'.

use ur skills to bargain. hehe

 

after 10pm or so, the taxi price will increase.

 

DO NOT GO for those pink lady or watever shows..

alot of private drivers or taxi drivers will offer to send u for free!

den u go there already, they keep ur camera la. pay cover charge.

best part, its usually located in some ulu parts.

the few taxi touts waiting outside will charge ridiculous rates.

 

actually got lots of info found online.

go google it, and save urself from being conned while @ BKK.

 

ya, drink lots of water. its very hot there.

for hospital musuem...sorry i dunhav the map but check it out.

Forensic Museum

If you're into all things gruesome, this is for you. Preserved corpses of convicted killers, like Thailand's most famous mass murderer See-Uey, the Chinese cannibal, are exhibited alongside murder weapons, a gut-wrenching exhibition of autopsy photos and glass jars containing stillborn children pickled in formaldehyde. It's close to the museums of parasitology, medical history, and anthropology. The Museum of Anatomy next door, housed in an old 1930's building, contains a close-up and personal look at the human body. Often visited by medical students, it will prove fascinating for lovers of the macabre, horrifying for the rest.

Open: 09:00 - 16:00 (Monday - Friday)

Where: 2nd floor, Adulaydejvigrom Building, Siriraj Hospital, 2 Phrannok Road

Admission: 40 baht

Contact: +66 (0)2 419 7000

i bet they do sell a lot of chrome stuffs.. but these normally fade or rusts in no time..

 

 

My wife knows that museum and went there before..

and it's definately gross and gruesome..

a must go for me this time.. but no photos allowed inside..

[IceZ]

haha..ive been there too... ya no photo is allow...but u can take in ur own risk...

This kinda museum Not many in the world. And its only 40baht ...i remember theres a nice mango dessert somewhere aroud there open by a young friendly couple.

[biting_point]

better dun risk taking any photos.. you might not know what you will capture within your lenses..

 

for nice foods in Thailand i got so many places to share.. but quite a lot not in Bangkok..

 

here's some in BKK..

 

Roast Pork Rice 烧肉饭 - Soi Lang Num (near Victory Monument)

Pig's intestines 猪杂汤 - same stall. Nice soup base and clean ingredients..

Roast pork is very crispy but not hard until you cant chew..

if walk from Victory Monument the stall will be after a drive-in motel(left) on your right..

it's a shop.. not road side stall..

 

Fish Maw Soup - Stall near staircase from the bridge of Victory Monument..

 

if you love seafood.. i suggest go to their supermarkets..

why?? cheap and good and they even cook for you..

normally i will buy at eat at my place or bring it to a park as pinic with my wife..

 

seafoods like prawns, crabs and fish can be grilled, steamed or fried.. they even give you chilli sauce..

fish will be selling like max 40baht compared to restuarant rates at 200baht..

prawns and crabs will be definately cheaper too..

 

Grill in Thai is "Yang" chinese sound 4..

Steam in Thai is "Nueng" sound 4 also..

Fried is "Tot" sound 4 also..

 

Save money and enjoy!!!

how about riding gears such as suits, jacket, gloves, boots etc..? i know of some shops selling in bangkok but they are selling as expensive as singapore. any shops there selling cheap2 gears? goin there next week..hehe

[biting_point]

You can try Dirtshop Thailand.. but same as tpmotorcycle, most items are on orders only..

it's not much cheaper than buying it in SG..

 

The address of the shop,

On Nut 76/1 Soi Mu Ban Krai Son

accessories are much cheaper if you are in Italy or USA..
