there u can go to those departmental stores and maybe buy bras and panties since it's super cheap
then u can also go to MBK,MaBrongKong (shld be) n walk ard n see see.
then at MBK u must bargain with the shop pp, the prices are usually quite high, so at least cut half

Email received from traveller2000.com
Bus fare 300baht, Train fare 548 baht
Handling fee + delivery fee + credit card surcharge = 392 baht
The above +++ I believe can split cost.
So assuming got 5 ppl going, each person will pay $39 (is like bao staying and travelling)
Anyways I just emailed them asking about 5 to 6 travellers will cost total how much. They say they will mail to the hotel in charge.
Not as safe as mailing it to Singapore, but I think once they mailed to the hotel that we choose and has informed us, we can call up the hotel to confirm that the tix has been delivered there.
Another thing hor, the timings they give us is must board bus by 11am, then reach BKK super early at 5.25am
What do you all think?
Also, can someone help me to read through the
