Boski01 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Hey dave202. Our visits are going to overlap quite a bit and I could definitely use a wingman to help me from getting discombobulated! I'll ping you on LINE, most likely the 16th if that works for you. Dumb question, but how do BMs meet up, meaning recognize each other when they get to the bar? Do we wear white carnations or something? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave202 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Not quite. Just ping on line saying where you are and what you are wearing. Besides on the board group there's an actual photo of me. Albeit rockin a beard I don't have at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke main Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I'll be in BKK from May 19 - Jun 1, staying on Soi Ruam Ruedi (near Phloem Chit BTS). If I arrive after 9pm do you think a taxi is the fastest way to get to the hotel? Or should I take the train? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battenburg_army Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I'm not sure how long it takes to get the train to Sukhumvit, but I'd advise a taxi as it's quick and easy, and will take you right to your hotel entrance. No waiting for trains, no worry about having to change trains, no carrying your luggage. For a 9pm arrival, if you pre-book a taxi to be there waiting for you, you may well be at your hotel by 11pm, which will give you a few hours to go straight out!

Viandefraich Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) I'll be in BKK from May 19 - Jun 1, staying on Soi Ruam Ruedi (near Phloem Chit BTS). If I arrive after 9pm do you think a taxi is the fastest way to get to the hotel? Or should I take the train? The train is not bad but does take about the same or slightly less time as taxi or limo dependant on traffic. Depending on distance from bts station and amount of luggage the value can not be beat. However it is currently ungodly hot so if comfort factors in take a taxi. Edited May 15, 2016 by Viandefraich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke main Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Thanks. I'll take a taxi. Will pre booked actually be faster than just grabbing one waiting outside the terminal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battenburg_army Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Probably just as quick to grab one of the waiting taxis, and you'll probably get a better price too. For info, I pre-book my taxi through Tour East Thailand via Expedia, and I also book them to take me back to the airport when I go home. Costs around £35 for both journeys, so each way that's around 900 baht. Like I said, you could get a better price by grabbing a waiting taxi, but I prefer to pay a bit extra for less hassle when I'm tired! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlandish Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Thanks. I'll take a taxi. Will pre booked actually be faster than just grabbing one waiting outside the terminal? You can take a taxi at Level 1, you first get your ticket outside at a machine, and wait at the number printed on your ticket. Always make sure to the driver you want to have the meter on, and take the route with tollways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boski01 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 For what it's worth, I grabbed a taxi. 75 baht in tolls and the ride was 250 baht. I gave the driver 400 baht and he seemed happy. Took about a half hour to get to my hotel (Sheraton Grande). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
