Bangkok Getaway Trip Day 1 to Day 3




Transportation 

Day 1.

Flight Air Asia - RM 300 return . Sampai Airport Don Mueng naik teksi ke tempat penginapan THB 256. Masa dekat airport ambil teksi dekat Exit 4.Print siap2 alamat hotel so that sampai sana terus tunjuk mana nak pi. Bahasa Inggeris kat sana broken kadang-kadang macam cakap ayam dengan itik. Ada papan tanda tunjuk pintu yang ada teksi.Pastikan teksi bermeter.Nanti kena ketuk. 

Day 2 

 Dari hotel berjalan kaki ker MRT  dalam 10 minit berjalan. Pastikan betul2 nak naik station mana.Like my trip kami nak pergi ker Bangkok Railway Station. So naik MRT dari Silom Station ( sebab tempat duduk kami dekat Silom ). Ok Silom station nie dalam 20 minit berjalan dari hotel.Ke nal pasti train line by color. Biru for MRT, Hijau for BTS dan Merah untuk komuter (nama komuter tapi tren biasa sebenarnya). 
Dari Silom Station naik ker Hoa Lamphung Station dalam 3 station. Turun sana terus jalan ke arah Bangkok Railway Station. Tak jauh macam turun LRT Putra jalan pi KTMB  kat Kl Sentral.Sampai Bangkok Railwat Station (BRS)  beli tiket ke Ayutthaya Station dalam THB20 /person.Make sure check betul2 berapa station nak sampai kat Ayutthaya. Check schedule kat bawah nie:






Tapi nanti nak sampai konduktor tiket tue akan bagitahu next station tue Ayutthaya. Sampai sana nanti keluar station terus ke kanan and ada meja kecik situ Tourist Information Centre. Dia akan advice mana wat nak pergi and akan offer jugak service tuk tuk . Kami cross jalan depan station terus ikut lorong sampai hujung akan nampak sungai. bayar THB5 /person untuk naik sampan cross sungai sebelah sana.Sampai seberang sana akan disambut dengan tokey tuk tuk , mini van. Boleh buat pilihan nak bawak moto sendiri, basikal or tuk tuk. Kami pilih tuk tuk sebab senang dan mudah. Kedudukan wat kat sini scaterred.Jarak dalam 3km to 6km to each wat, Kat sini charge tuk2  THB 300 / hour. Kami ambil 3 hour dapat dalam THB500 . Asal dia letak THB900 . Pandai2 la bargain.Selepas habis tour patah balik naik sampan dan beli la tiket nak balik BRS semula . Journey dalam  1.5 hour harga tiket pun sama THB20.

Balik ker BRS if nak solat ada surau dekat platform 4 . Macam kotak tengah2 platform warna hijau. Panas gila weih . Cakap pasal panas Bangkok memang panas .Minum air banyak untuk mengelak kan kehilangan air. 

Since another objective nak pergi Bangkok nak beli kain buat baju kerja . Nama tempat tue Chinatown @ Sampeng Lane .Banyak jual barang2 gift , jam , textiles , tutup meja , make up tools , rambut palsu. Haa u name it semua ada situ . Mak ayah jer xde. Pada peminat gadget sini pun banyak option.Dari BRS naik tuk tuk kena THB150 ke Sampen Lane . Turun kat situ jangan panik terus saja jalan ke setiap lorong yang ada. Rajin bertanya boeh jumpa lane untuk kain , lace , gadget , gift , jam and etc.Harga kat sini di jamin murah. Specially harga borong .

Dari Sampeng Lane kami naik tuk tuk ker  Siam Paragon naik tuktuk jugak kena THB 100. Dari Siam Paragon naik BTR turun kat Sala Daeng kena THB 20 .

End of story for Day 2


Day 3 - Silom - Sai Mai Tai Southern Bas Terminal - Mae Klong Railway Station -Amphawa Floating Market - Chatucak Market- Airport

Pagi-pagi kami dah check out dari Silom Hostel. Ambil Grab Taxi dari Silom to Sai Mai Tai Southern Bus Terminal. Dalam THB 250 . Sampai kat sana terus cari kawasan yang ada banyak van . Cakap kat orang situ nak naik van ke Mae Klong .Nie kira shuttle van nak ke kawasan pendalaman. Journey dari sini ker Sai Mai Tai dalam 1 hour untuk sampai ker Mae Klong Railway Station.Tambang ke sana naik van THB70 / pax. Pesan siap2 kat driver van nanti dah sampai kat Mae Klong suruh inform untuk turun. 

Turun dekat Mae Klong terus jalan susur kedai sampai jumpa jalan keretapi. Nanti boleh nampak stesen keretapi Mae Klong and nampak railway market. Tips nak cari port baik bila keretapi lalu terus sampai hujung sampai jumpa gerai jual air buah fresh. Beli air tembikai or any fruit jus lepak situ sampai keretapi sampai. Jadual keretapi as below. Make sure sampai ikut jadual keretapi supaya tak membuang masa

Ok few tips untuk perjalanan ke Mae Klong Railway Station 


GETTING TO THE MAEKLONG TRAIN MARKET


  • Minivan: departs Bangkok Southern Bus Terminal (Sai Tai Mai) and the Northern Bus Terminal (near to Mo Chit BTS) for 70thb per person, the trip takes about 90 minutes and the van will drop you off right by the market. Do not go to Victory Monument, services from there ended in 2016.
  • Taxi: a driver for the whole day costs about 2,000thb which is economical with a group of 4. The driver can also take you to the Damnoen Saduak or Amphawa Floating Markets for the same fare.
  • Train: getting to the railway market takes about 3 hours in total, one way. You have to catch the train from Wongwian Yai Station then get off at Mahachai Station. Next, cross the river to Tha Chalom Pier and catch the train at Ban Laem Station heading for the Maeklong Railway market.
The Maeklong Railway Market train Schedule in 2018 is:

  • Train Arrival times: 8.30 a.m., 11.10 a.m., 2.30 p.m. and 5.40 p.m.
  • Train Departure times: 6.20 a.m., 9.00 a.m., 11.30 a.m. and 3.30 p.m.

Tip: get down to the railway tracks 10 to 15 minutes before the train arrives or departs. You don’t want to wait another hour if you miss the train by just a few minutes. 
Lepas dah tengok keretapi lalu ambil gambar seberapa pantas yang mungkin sambil jaga keselamatan diri dan barang . Kami beredar dari situ ambil tuk-tuk dan terus ke Amphawa Floating Market.
Dekat Amphawa jalan-jalan tengok jualan yang di jual tepi sungai dan gaya hidup . Tempat nie bersih dan souvenier jauh lebih murah daripada bandar. Pilih la yang mana berkenan.Since trip kami trip berjimat so beli yang ala kadar ringan-ringan nak angkut masuk beg . 
Dari Amphawa Floating Market kami naik semula van dan ke Southern Bus Station. Sampai ke sana nak Grab Taxi ke Chatuchak Market. 














Chatuchak Market 
Business Hour : weekend market opens from 6 am to 6 pm on Saturday and Sunday
Below cara nak ke Chatuchak Market dari Bangkok itself.Ambil dari internet for panduan semua. Sebab kami agak lost dalam nak mencari pintu masuk Chatuchak Market hari tue. Jangan ulang kesilapan.
Getting to Chatuchak Market 
The MRT journey to Chatuchak Market couldn’t be simpler. If you get on the one central line for the MRT and ride it to Chatuchak Park, you are there! The train will drop you inside the park which is a short two-minute walk from the Entrance 2 at JJ Market.
Travelling on the MRT is very cheap which is similar to the BTS. Travelling from Silom to Chatuchak Park will cost 40 Baht for an adult and 20 Baht for children and elders. The service is open from 6 am to midnight so you can hop on and off while you explore Bangkok’s largest market!
Skytrain (BTS)
One way of getting to Chatuchak is by Skytrain (BTS). The Skytrain runs throughout Bangkok and you are able to get on and off, but make sure to jump back off at (N8) Mo Chit Station (Sukhumvit Line). From here, if you take exit no. 1 when leaving the station, you will eventually come across rows and rows of canvas stalls. Keep following the crowds until you come across a small entrance this is the clothing section of Bangkok Market.
Tuk Tuk 

Tuk Tuks can be more expensive as they are more of a novelty to tourists rather than a taxi. There is not meter inside a Tuk Tuk so you will need to barter for your fare. Depending on where you are staying, the fare can range from 100-350 Baht from central Bangkok. You can ask your hotel concierge to agree on a price for your fare. 



Chatuchak can be roughly divided into 11 categories: 
Clothing & Accessories (sections 2-6, 10-26) 
Handicrafts (sections 8-11) 
Ceramics (sections 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 25) 
Furniture and Home Decoration (sections 1,3,4,7,8)
Food and Beverage (sections 2, 3, 4, 23, 24, 26, 27) 
Plants and Gardening tools (sections 3, 4) 
Art and Gallery (section 7)
Pets and Pet Accessories (sections 8, 9, 11, 13) 
Books (sections 1, 27) 
Antiques and Collectibles (sections 1, 26) 
Miscellaneous and Used Clothing (sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 22, 25, 26)

When buying goods at Chatuchak, particularly ‘antiques’, it is wise to exercise a few precautions. Check your goods thoroughly to see whether there is any damage, as many vendors sell factory rejects. For ‘antiques’, don’t trust the vendor when he tells you it is genuine. It’s better to bring along an expert, unless you are happy with what you are paying for.  

Ok sedikit panduan untuk shopping dalam Chatuchak. Boleh ikut lorong /soi di atas. Kalau nak explore semua pun boleh . Kami sekadar touch n go di Chatuchak. 

Ada few selection untuk kedai makan halal di Chatuchak Market .

1. Saman Islam - Kami cari tak jumpa kedai nie tapi dek kerana lapor maka kami makan jer mana kedai yang jumpa. Landmark nya adalah cari Clock Tower dalam Chatuchak . Sebelah tue jer kedai makan nya.

2. Ramazan Kebap - Nie jual kebab. 

Basically , kat sini jalan2 jer boleh jumpa Halal Food dalam nie. Boleh jugak bertanya dengan orang kat sini.Kebanyakkan mereka ramah dan mesra. 

Kalau bercadang nak bershopping baik bawak duit extra. Sebab macam2 barangan ada jual dan murah. Rambang mata pun ya. 

Coconut Ice Cream is a must try item kat sini. Mango sticky rice too.Jangan lupa jugak famous Thai Milk and Thai Green Tea. 











Sempat la membeli untuk diri sendiri Pasport Cover dari Leather dalam THB 100 .

So lepas tue balik ke airport dan berehat sampai flight sampai. 



Overall ,  nie trip rendah budget. Apa pun happy dapat jalan and explore Bangkok.
