Bangkok Thailand, The Land of Smiles - Chapter 1

We took a flight off Singapore on the 22nd Feb 2006 to Bangkok, Thailand. Arrived in Bangkok around Bangkok time 1945. After settling our travel documents, we quickly made our way to the taxi stand. This was my first trip to Bangkok ( that's if u minus the SAF-Sponsored one to Kanchanaburi camp )

One thing to note on their taxi service is that some of them goes by meter while others ( most of them in fact ) goes by per trip even thou they have the meter cab top on. So be sure to ask if they goes by meter. If they dun, decline politely and wait for the next one.

One thing we notice was the colours of their taxis. From green to yellow to purple to pink. Very colourful indeed. Their cabs also comes in mostly in the shape of Toyota Vios and Altis.

From the Airport to our hotel was a 45 minutes drive costing about 270bht. We stayed at Samran Place Deluxe room 312.

The room was very big. There was a big King size bed and a small living roomm. The room was simple and clean. After all this was a budget hotel and to have such a standard was a plus. Cleaniness values tops in my opinion.

After unpacking our stuffs, we took a bathe and decided to turn in early for the night to prepare for the long day ahead. The bathe room layout was simple but it's very clean and spacious. The towels were clean and smell fresh. Nothing could be said about the luxious aspect of the room but it was definately spacious and clean. Jus as long as it's clean and "clean".
