Tips

• Make sure study, buat research tentang jadual train, map of places and distance, opening hours and operating days for every single place yang anda ingin pergi for proper planning, sangat penting!
• Jadual train boleh dapat dekat Hua Lampong railway station. Tak faham, tanya tourist information centre. Sebab lain railway, lain timing.
• Better ada google translate/reliable translator app sebab majority Thai people tak faham English, memang susah nak communicate even dekat town area pun.
• Antara semua tempat shopping, Talad Rod Fai market adalah paling best, murah and banyak sangat benda. Semua ada. Tapi the only way to get there conveniently is by taxi.
• Taxi kena make sure pakai meter, tanya driver tersebut. Kalau tak jumpa juga yang pakai meter, bargain sampai dapat harga murah yang berbaloi.
• Motor taxi pun kena bargain harga murah berbaloi.
• Nak tahu berbaloi ke tak, check distance tempat yang anda ingin pergi dari starting point. So anggar lah berapa harga yang berbaloi.
• Nak shopping, bawa bagpack kosong, nanti beli barang, simpan semua dalam itu, supaya tak tercicir or nampak macam kaya sangat shopping banyak, takut kena aim or nak bargain pun susah.
• Tak tahu number bus apa nak naik? Tanya sahaja locals.
• Jangan shopping or beli souvenirs dekat airport. Mahal sangat, berganda-ganda harga.
• Please beli sahaja terus check in luggage masa book flight pergi Bangkok (Airasia), sebab memang strict sungguh, masa check in from Bangkok, dia timbang segala bag yang ada kecuali handbag/pouch, lebih berat sikit sahaja memang kena check in. And harga check in luggage over the counter tripple price from online booking.
• My itinerary agak relax, sebab saya malas nak rushing plus train rides memang ambil masa lama, so penat kalau nak kejar banyak tempat.
• Hari yang ada rest itu anda boleh selit dengan melawat grand palace or wat wat sekitar Bangkok.



*Best juga travel solo kan? Boleh mula dengan negara-negara yang terdekat atau negara jiran seperti Bangkok. Enjoy your trip!
