Mobile is like that

Time to pack your bags for holiday!!! So many place to go, where should you head to?

WAIT……Do I have enough money to travel? Arghhhh…If you are on a shoestring budget like me, we can still buy ‘cheap’ flight. Gone are the days of air tickets that cost only $120 inclusive of all the taxes to bangkok! Miss those days..

Now we need to be very alert so as to catch the latest promotion from all the budget carriers. To be informed first hand of the promotions, we have to (more…)

Further to my video on Baiyoke Boutique Hotel in Bangkok, I would like to help you decide if you should stay there

1. You like to shop. Step out of the hotel, you are at the Pratunam area. Lots of shop selling cloths at low prices. Shop till you drop. The hotel provides transport to Siam Paragon, the more expensive zone I believe every hour and last bus should be 7pm.
2. Pantip Plaza, the computer mall is nearby. Computer stuffs and ‘DVDs’.
3. You like to walk. The train stations are about 30 minutes away. I am fine with that. Able to take a short stroll, mingle with the people although at times, it can get crowded on the way there.
4. Just tell the taxi driver, Baiyoke Sky Hotel. They know. The hotel is so tall you can’t miss it. Baiyoke Boutique Hotel is located behind Baiyoke Sky Hotel. Many taxis located right outside the hotel. Just make sure they go by the meter.

Just my 3 cents of advise.
Lastly here is a Google Map. I mark down where the hotels, the train station, Pantip Plaza and my favorite chicken rice shop. Hope it helps (more…)

For short trips, I always like to hand carry my luggage onto the plane. Reasons are:

1. My luggage on wheels is small and light even with my macbook in it
2. I do not have to worry that my check-in luggage gets smack and smash by the airport staff.
3. One particular experience was that I forgot to take out some coins and a nokia battery out of the zip of my check-in luggage. I only notice the coins and battery stolen when I reach home.
4. After arrival and clear custom, I can move out of the airport in super sonic speed. Not many airports has a efficient and fast system like Changi. I waited close to 2 hours once for my luggage in another international airport.

Sounds cool with the reasons above. However, things get edgy with your favorite (more…)

After it was announce that budget airlines is flying from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, I was excited and went to one the budget airlines to check on the price of the tickets for a 2 way flight to Kuala Lumpur. Nice to know that there are more destination for short holiday trips!

Select a nice date under their promotion and the total cost of the flight is about $140++ including tax.

The budget airline to Kuala Lumpur saves on transport time and you feel less tired when you reach there unlike a 4-5 hour car ride. The price of ticket is not that expensive and not that cheap as well.

If you ask me I would prefer a promotion ticket at about $190++ 2 way to Thailand either to Bangkok, Phuket or Krabi. More fun things there. Beach, nice food, good parties plus shopping and massage.

Visit Tigerairways or JetStar for more flight details.

For my previous trip to Thailand, I have no choice but to make an overseas phone call to the hotel for room reservation. I was only a few days away from my trip and not yet make any hotel bookings. If I go through their website or via email, I will not be able to receive my confirmation in time before I leave. I presume that like myself, you know the standard room rates of the hotel you are planning to reserve.

So these are a 5 important details to note when making a phone reservation for a hotel room.

1. Remember the name of the staff who process the transaction over the phone
2. Ask for the confirmation number of the hotel reservation
