The Colorful Chatuchak Market

I heard it many times that visiting Bangkok without shopping at Chatuchak is not complete. On my first and second visit to Bangkok, I didn't have the chance to visit Chatuchak. Maybe that's why I had the opportunity to visit Bangkok once again. And this time Chatuchak was number one on my itinerary.

We left Bangkok City Hotel at 7.30, took the BTS to Mo Chit station, and found many buses and taxis once we exit the BTS station. It was Saturday morning and many people coming to Chatuchak. We just followed the crowd from BTS to Chatuchak. I was sure that everyone was heading to Chatuchak that morning.

Look at those pink buses and taxis :)

Hotel Review : Bangkok City Hotel

I came across Bangkok City Hotel when I searched through booking.com for hotels around USD 50 in Bangkok. Other thing which was a plus point: Bangkok City Hotel also has a triple room, perfect for our group which consist of 5 people. We could reserve one double and one triple room. 

I reserved the room directly through their website. The hotel only charged the room one week prior to our arrival. Tripadvisor reviews for this hotel is also positive. There are  reviews saying that many halal food stall are available around the hotel. I wanted to proof it by myself.

Rp 3 juta: Liburan 3 Hari 2 Malam ke Bangkok

Ini kali ketiga saya berkunjung ke Bangkok. Terus terang, ide awalnya karena menerima newsletter dari Tiger Mandala mengenai Return for Free Promo Ticket. Karena saya tau Rene kurang tertarik dengan Bangkok, saya pun berinisiatif mengadakan another tesyasblog's Mommies Day Out Trip.

Awalnya saya mengajak lima orang teman kantor, berkembang dengan tambahan dua group lainnya, peserta menjadi 12 orang! Sayangnya satu group yang berisi 4 orang mengundurkan diri, karena ada satu peserta yang hamil. Akhirnya kami menjadi dua group, 5 orang saya dan teman kantor, serta satu group sahabat saya @rona_willis beserta dua teman lainnya.

Berapa biaya liburan ke Bangkok?

Kami berangkat hari Jumat dan kembali hari Minggu (Mei 2014). Total biaya yang saya keluarkan Rp 3 juta dengan perincian:

1. Tiket pesawat: Rp 1,3 juta PP, tanpa bagasi.

2. Hotel dua malam Rp 500,000 (per orang).

3. Transportasi, makan dan belanja : THB 4.000 (sekitar Rp 1,5 juta). Saat itu 1 THB = Rp 358.
