I did not went to much places when I was there.
I went to the Extra hypermart and Pelangi Plaza
to get the necessary shampoo and the likes although
the hotel do provide.The shutter services provided
by the hotel was good as I had experience on the trip
back from Pelangi Plaza.

Our most touristic outing in Bangkok was a pilgrimage to Jim Thompson's house, which we enjoyed. The National Museum was also worth an afternoon. A pilgrimage to the royal palace and the temple of the emerald Buddha and to Wat Po is de rigeur, but we also enjoyed visits to some smaller and less visited wats. If you go to Wat Po, try to be there on a Sunday, when traditional arts and dance classes are held for members of the community.
Some of our most enjoyable time was spent just watching Bangkok go by. The city water taxis were great and we wish we had travelled more on the river. Simply watching the city's population navigating its famous traffic was mesmerizing, and even in the heat of March, walking the city's streets and seeing how people live and work there was well worth the effort. It was the small sights of the city that most intrigued us- a storefront where motorized delivery carts were being built from the ground up, the hand-painted designs on a vendor's truck, the saffron-robed monk talking into his cell phone in the chaos of porters in the train station, the brave soul delivering a stack of full egg boxes on the back of his motorcycle. Bangkok, like the other cities we visited in Thailand, was a dynamic and fascinating place, populated by some of the most friendly and likable people I've met anywhere.
It is also a wonderful place to eat. We tried some excellent restaurants mentioned in a recent newspaper article (New York Times 2/27/2000)especially a place on the river called Baan Klang Nam, and found some great places on our own. In Sukumvit we ate very well on Soi 11 at Kannicha, as well at at a large and well run street stall under an awning on your left hand side just after a large garden with caged parrots. (The street stall is open only until 14:00)
As for transportation, be sure to check out the sky train. It's efficient, clean, and air-conditioned. May it prosper and expand!

Excellent value hotel (at the discounted rate) and close to entertainment area. We rented a car and driver from the hotel for the evening, which was very reasonable value between three of us and certainly hassel free compared with the taxi drivers.

We managed to watch the Chingay on the 25th Feb. I heard that you can only watch Chingay in two places in Malaysia i.e. JB and Penang. In my opinion it is a Chinese cultural exhibition. You get to watch lion and dragon dances, big headed dolls, Chinese opera, chinese bands, tall flags and many more. I think this occassion can be used to attract foreign tourists. Furthermore, the chingay passes the hotel!!!

The location is quite easily accessible and to get around to the town center is not that difficult. The only thing is transportation, which is only by taxi.
