Getting TO/AROUND: On this particular boat which takes you from one part of the city to another would be most practical to take during the busy hours. It cost so little and so much more interesting than taking a land taxi, bus, sky train or the tuk-tuk.. On this taxi boat we are about 50 passengers in this little most effecient cool boat! There is also another kind of taxi boat which is quite semilar and they call it Chao Phraya, for only 15 Baht per person you can cross the city for miles. We enjoy all the water rides in Bangkok!

Getting TO/AROUND: We were in Bangkok last April. My wife and I took the boat that brings tourists from our hotel to china town. There was this young very well knowledgeable Thai and we lost her email mailing address. If any of you would notice her, kindly email us her email address as we would wish to send her some little present from Barcelona. She is just a wonderful, well spoken English Thai. She just started her job as a boat tourists guide and so lovely. Please email us her name and her email address. She is approximately 29- 31 years old. Very pleasant young Thaillady. Thank you all.

Getting TO/AROUND: We just returned from Bangkok and we love it so very much! My family goest to Bangkok quite often because of a bit of business...anyway, February is a very low season, so, have no fear that you need to book your trip. As far as hotel, best to book through internet, as rooms have great offers, we would suggest for you to book at the Sukhumvit Road, we stayed at the Dusit Hotel which costs us U.S.$27.00 per night, breakfast not included, but location could not be any better. Sky train is only 3 minutes walk. However, after 4 nights at Dusit Hotel, we then came across some English couple in there late 50's who were staying at a "Inn" located right infront of my hotel, it's called "SAM'S INN", which costs only 1/3 of what we were paying and they have a computer with free internet connection. Since we paid our stay ahead at Dusit Hotel, then next time we go back to Bangkok which we love so much, we definitely will stay at that Sam's Inn. The only good and great service with Dusit Hotel, is they picked us up at the airport and being so tired from the many traveling hours, having someone pick you at the airport was worth it, otherwise if you take a taxi, it would be more or less around U.S.$5.00 (that's if you are not taken for a long free ride by the driver). Best to do if you need to take a taxis as you arrive from overseas, que in next to a sort of police lady who will assign you a taxi with legal taxi meter. Now as I said, legally it only cost U.S.$5.00 from the airport to Sukhumvit, oh! yes, plus .50 balt for the toll fee which you will be asked to pay. Since we are still traveling Asia we have not yet had the time to do our Bangkok travel, so we are just doing it bits and pcs. while we are on our travel. Have a great time and happy shopping in Bangkok...Cheers!
