I did a Bangkok trip with 3 other girls and it was amazing.
I booked Thai Airways, which costed around Rs. 20,000 per person. We decided to do Visa on arrival and we booked Deluxe Club room at Pullman, Sukhimvit. We were quite particular about Sukhimvit region and we quite liked this property.
Feb 8, 2018: We had an early morning flight to Bangkok leaving from Chennai by 1:30 am and we reached Bangkok by 6:30 am (local time). I somehow felt the air hostess were not that warm. I didn't quite like the entertainment system and the seat. But the company was good and didn't feel a thing. Visa on arrival was quite easy and it roughly took 45 minutes for the whole procedure to finish
We took the taxi from airport and it costed roughly 350 bhat but the traffic was quite bad in spite of taking the flyover. We had requested the hotel for early check in and they gave us our room by 11:00 am. In the meanwhile, we went to terminal 21 mall to get a sim card. The hotel does have handy phone, but it was unlike the one I used at Singapore. Only local calling was allowed and somehow we could never call that phone. There was no internet pack in that phone.
We had breakfast at the hotel and went to Pratunam Market. We took the BTS from Sukhimvit to Chit Lom. From that station, it was a good 1 km walk. On the way, we stopped at multiple stalls and food stalls and did some shopping.
Pratunam market was not a place for us. We didn't probably know where exactly to shop. After going through the market for quite sometime, we had our lunch at a small restaurant. She made lovely vegetarian thai food.
The tuk-tuk costs you quite a bomb but you need to negotiate a lot. After that we went to Siam center and shopped a lot again. There was a setup like China town and I had my first coconut ice cream with coconut flesh and peanuts. It was yumm.
We then took taxi (it was working out cheaper since we were 4 of us), freshened up and went to Terminal 21 for shopping. At out hotel, the club lounge had unlimited drinks and snacks from 6-8 pm. We snacked a bit before heading out to Terminal 21. Terminal 21 setup is like different regions for each floor. You can easily spend sometime here. We went to the Pizza/ Italian place for dinner near the BTS station. It looked good from outside and the place was crowded but the food was quite average.
