casino_king SG Only Vegas really exists... Nisneynand, Unibersal Studio, only exists in his head. Still, VEGAS? Uncle Chin Eng u print money one is it?
casino_king SG OK I haven't been to Bangkok for 2months now... so sad OK there is a brand new shopping complex... supposedly the biggest mall in SEA - next to Siam BTS Station... called the Paragon... sells high end branded goods.... cheaper in Spore, branded goods. The biggest mall in SEA (until Mid Vallet mall in KL) used to be SEACON SQUARE at the outskirts of Bangkok (about 20km outside BKK city central. ) A little like MBK... but much bigger and cheaper; so if you are adventurous tell the taxi drive "Seacon Square, Tanon Srinakarin (tanon=Road.... ta2non1) After Siam station is Chit Lom station... the station is linked directly to Central Chit Lom (central is pronounced centran... check bill is check bin.. get it? tral=tran; bill=bin.) At central chit lom, you can get to a Marche style restaurant/food court on the 7th level. Oh if you are the type who likes to buy clothes for teddy bears, you can get it at central chit lom.
MCY SG Bro, care to share your tailor's location cause I'm going there soon. How much does it cost to make a business shirt?
Chin Eng SG okay.. DISNEYLAND, UNIVERSAL STUDIO, LAS VEGAS.... more specific: Anaheim/California, Hollywood/California, Las Vegas/Nevada everybody happy now? I photocopy money on color copier.... Still in planning stage, working out the budget, looking at accomodation and transportation options.... maybe I post pictures
Chin Eng SG There's a restaurant called CONDOMS AND CABBAGES in one of the sois along Sukhomvit. Where most restaurants give out breath mints at the exit, this one has a dish that has condoms that you can take away...... Nothing sleazy in there, just good Thai food.
casino_king SG I think progress package will come in handy... esp if he lives in big bungalow but put his address at a 3rm flat. let out a secret.
laoda99 SG but progress package at most only 1000+ per person, and I dun think his kids have progress package. My progress package only enuff for me to go BKK...

Ah Cek SG for watever reasons, try not to consume food/fruits from roadsides. i kena food poisoning during my 2nd last day in bangkok after consuming fruits bought from a roadside. so turn off. bring some medicated oil (feng yui), panadol and bao chi wan there. serious.
Chin Eng SG Projected expense: Flight, Accomodation, Transportation, Meals, Theme Park Tickets: about $15 - 16 grand. Some theme parks have 5 day pass.
MCY SG It's at 3rd floor MBK centre. cost about 300B to 1500B Another point to note : I always change my money in Bangkok (MBK centre) cause they can give you in smaller denomiations (down to 20B) unlike in s'pore the money changer always give 1000B (smallest) if lucky sometimes they give you in 100B.
Chin Eng SG I will never live in a bungalow, even if I can afford (and I can't afford it). Anyway progress package spend already.
casino_king SG Cannot beat Yaowarat (China Town) ... say to the taxi driver yao3wa1rat4 BTW try not to board taxis waiting around,..... they target tourists.. you have better luck is you flag down a taxi plying on the roads... tell them to on the meter but if they want to cheat, they take you on a joy ride anyway... so just enjoy the ride or take BTS; MRT to the nearest staion and walk or take cab from the station... about taxis waiting around... does not refer to those waiting at BTS/MRT stations... apply to those waiting around malls and esp hotels and tourist places. Always ask them to on the meter... all taxi drivers understand "meter" and point to the meter. Get down if he refuses.
