It's done. We're spending Christmas in Bangkok.
After much research, hotel and rate comparison I have booked our hotel online with Agoda. We're staying in the Sukhumvit area in a boutique hotel called DREAM Bangkok . The hotel claims to be "Asia's new fashion hotel....a true Haute Couture". And I am so happy to find the best and cheapest deal on the hotel with Agoda! The rate even comes with free breakfast. I wonder how they can sell room rates cheaper than the hotel itself?
I have tried other online travel agency before but I think I am sticking with them unless of course I find better rates elsewhere. They also have reward points just like airlines having mileage points. So enticing!
I have already booked our tickets too. I thought Malaysia Airline's promo is the cheapest but I found a cheaper one at AirAsia. Since AirAsia doesn't have seating arrangement and doesn't prioritize family's with infants and kids during boarding, I booked their express boarding for RM25 for adults and RM7 for kids. This way we'll be guaranteed the front row seats.
Bookings done and all I need to do is plan our itinerary. So guys, what are the must visit places on a five-day tour in Bangkok?

i hd been in bangkok 2005 and i love their market, shopping ala tutuban 168MALL;
then their food in the streets.
Massage, madami dyan, haha.
Siya, photos photos, wag kalimutan, haha.
Excited na ako sa food at massage! Hehehe
-since kasama nyo si EJ I guess its better na mag-arrange nalang kayo ng tour with the hotel. When you arrive sa airport madami yan sila flyers kung san yong mga recommended places nila kung ano gusto mo bisitahin. Wag mong kalimutan bisitahin yong reclining buddha, yong grand palace, temple of emerald buddha, marble temple, nood din kayo nung traditional dance..madami yan at various dinner theatres..punta kayo sa me MBK area madami dyan pagkagastusan ng pera hahahaha! I dont recommend chatuchak market kase mahirap pag me bata...you might be interested din sa floating market...un lang ...at this moment parang un yong mga a must to visit, hehehe...Im sure Y would help you more on this...Im sure mag enjoy kayong talaga...I love BKK kase...hehehe'
Thanks for the tips cas...will check on those you mentioned.
Yep, its definitely not a good idea to go to the flea markets with a kid although if you want bargains, dun ka talaga makahanap ng pagkadami-daming rip-offs!! hehe
There are a lot of half-day city tours na with or without inclusions of Floating Market, Crocodile farm, Elephant Show, etc. Puwede mo yan ipa-arrange thru your hotel kasi they will have a list of accredited tour operators.
After that, you can visit some lesser-known temples like Wat Si Saket or mag river cruise kayo.
Hay naku, mag enjoy kayo talaga!!
