玩法/第一次 中秋节
I've travelled to some places and saw some people were in a relatively awkward position, such as, some people wore some short jeans to climb the volcano in the midnight.....and they gave up for the heavy wind and frozen cold. What a pity!
So I decided to write travel notes in english version from now on to let more people see it, hope to do some help......anyways.
1)checking the weather of Bangkok city, such as 22-24 temperature, rainning,so it could help you to make decision about what kind of clothes should bring.
2)the time should be one hour later than China, such as when there is 8 a.m. in China than it should be 7 a.m. in Bangkok.
3)documents: passport, ID card, flight itinerary, hotel booking invoices, VISA card, phone number card(brought from TAOBAO)
4)clothes & other stuffs: umbrella, hat, Sun Cream, stomach medicine, jeans, leisure trouser, short-sleeved clothes, thin coat, black pen, phone, battery charger, Charge Pal, tissues.
5)daily schedule, Bangkok cultural tips, subway map of Bangkok, templates of arrival and departure card, google maps downloaded on your phone.
Arrival Don Muang airport at 2 a.m. and then, go to the first floor, turn right, go straight until arrival at 8 gate, and get the formal ticket of Taxi, then show the driver your hotel address, usually, you should ask: by meter? if they say: yes. then you can confirm. And you need to pay extra cost 50B to the dirver for the airport taxi administration expense.
Taxi Ticket from the Airport
It spent us about 30min to get to hotel from airport and the cost was 230B(including 50B extra cost)
Sillemon Garden Hotel (pretty nice hotel with tea kettle, slippers and other bathroom goods)
We got up at 9:00 a.m. in the morining, and packed up our stuffs then check our suitcases in at the desk and left the hotel.
Turn right from the hotel, then turn right, turn right and go straight.....keep walking about 7mins then you will arrive the subway.
this is the station that we went down and headed to the Chatuchak Weekend Market, the cost should be 21B per.
We got off from the "Lat Phrao" station, and went out from the 1 exit, then turn left and walked and crossed a pedestrian bridge, and arrived the Chatuchak Weekend Market.

I brought one from this stand, and it's delicious, needed 100B per.
(mixed with squid and pork, also some vegetable.)
the parking place.
On the way back to hotel, we took photos from the pedestrian bridge, cars were so colourful.
This hotel is a nice place. I like the style of this hotel, and it's pretty close to the China Town, when you walked out from the hotel, you just needed to turn right and keep walking then you will see the China Town, probably needed 15-20mins. But this hotel has no tea kettle, slippers, toothbrush, toothpaste and shampoo. So if you care about these things pls think twice before your booking this hotel. What's more, bringing durian to this hotel is forbidden, once found, you probably would be charged 3000B.

Phra Phrom was built in 1957. According to some records, when they bulit Grand Hyatt Hotel (once called Erawan Hotel ), many accidents happened and some people died. So they bulit the Phra Phrom near the building sites, from then on, everything went well. The Grand Hyatt Hotel was pulled down but the Phra Phrom still there until now. So it's a very famous place in Bangkok, many people go there, make their wishes, some hire people for dance performance to the Buddha.

From the Phra Phrom, we crossed the street, and went straight about 20mins, then saw the Pratunam Market. If you want to buy something with high quality and low prise, you can't miss the Pratunman Market!!
But we didn't buy anythings there for our next destination was also a good place to buy things...

After passed this bright, then we just turned right, and walked about 10mins and arrived the famous restaurant:Go Ang - Pratunam Chicken Rice Restaurants.
(to be honest, i don't think the chicken is delicous and the rice is greasy.....disappointed)

It's a quite small market, when we were there, we have near 1 hour to play and walk around by ourself. But you have to ask the guide to get the train ticket and in what time you should take the train to make sure that you won't miss it.....

End of these four days journey with my family members!
①In Thailand, most of the cars have been covered protective films to peotect drivers and passangers away from the sunlight, so you can not see what happened inside the cars from outside the windows, which was so different from China.
②Speed limit on the freeway is 120 km per hour almost like China, but most of the time the drivers will speeding until 140 - 150 km per hour~~~
③The central air-conditioning in Bangkok subway is pretty good, when you get inside, a cold air would around you immediately, so be careful the children and the elders, quite easy to get cold.
④Many buses or sight seeing buses don't close the front door, which is strange, and I don't know why, maybe someone knows, pls don't hesitate to share with me....thx
⑤The pricing for 400g per bag dried durian should be no more than 200B, and I think China Town is a nice place to buy gifts, it's more cheaper than other places.
⑥In Bangkok, thought, many dirvers said they only can carry 4 people, but actually, taxi can carry 5 people once, so if you were a 5 people team, no need to ask for a seven-seat taxi.
