Madame Tussauds Bangkok : Cool Enough

Super Cool Spiderman

Continuing about things you can do in Bangkok, I want to tell my experience visiting Bangkok in 2011 and this time I would like to mention Madame Tussaud.

To get a ticket you can click this link, but its actually what you can do is you can just visit the place and I did and I got the cheapest ticket because they had the promo in front of the Mall Entry. (i am lucky not to get from the internet, but I don't know if the promo would end).

I got THB 280 at that time/person ;) lucky me

Where is the location?
From my hotel, I went to Siam Paragon Mall, and the Siam Discovery Mall in the 6th level, just entry from the fountain? at the front door of the mall.
Want to know how to get there you can click this link. Map.


I went there with my husband and my baby Zac who is still 4 months old ;D
mommy love travelling poor baby Zach ;D (kesiannya babyku yg harus ikuting emaknya jalan2 terus)
Madame Tussauds museum in Bangkok is very narrow. I dont know in Hongkong, but in here, they only few of Hollywood star and maybe im not informed few of them I dont know, lets just check the picture.

BANGKOK RECAP: What to do in Bangkok?

Hi There,

Bangkok is never been a bad city to visit.

Even though I visit the place just twice, but I could already comment that its a Hilarious Place to visit.

It is the best city to visit for money so far.

The meals, transportation, market, ticket and accommodation is the best in Asia, i have to quote: "in price".

The people also friendly, i love them, they are helpful and nice, instead of being rude they love to help.

The city not as clean as Seoul or Singapore, but its clean enough compare to Jakarta.

Here is the list I did and you might try as well when you visit Bangkok, Just click this link to connect you to another review of the place and please comment, thanks!

Place to visit:

ASIATIQUE Night Market, second visit to Bkk

I looooooooooooooove this market.
Its an open air night market and its so edgy, we feel like in the mall but the ambience is more cozy.
Yes, it is Asiatique The River Front that is located in Charoen Krung Road, built around a restored pier constructed in 1900s.

What to offer?

Entertainment of cabaret show, middle class shopping, Food and dine!

For shopaholic don't worry because although it sounds like middle class the price is not that really expensive compare to other tourist area such us Damnoen Saduak. The close to Chatucak weekend market.
The store are very iconic, and very cute! I really love them and of course i visit Naraya the authentic bangkok bags store.
The price range for the meals is a bit expensive from THB 100-1000, but food stall you can pick the meals for THB 60-80!

To get there?
you can take a taxi, take BTS/MRT hop on Saphan taksin and they provide you with free shuttle boat to the market, fascinating isn't it?

This river front open daily from 5 pm until late. What I like is they are well organized, the have this Gigantic Ferris Wheel, where you can hop on just paid THB 250! 

Let me share some picture then:

Alternatif to Saphan taksin by Tuk TUk

Finally in Asiatique the river front

Free shuttle that take us to Asiatique - its free of charge

Naraya near the gigantic wheel

the gigantic wheels and also the clock tower, its great!

After Shopping

Cute shop are everywhere

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market - Second trip to Bangkok

DAMNOEN SADUAK FLOATING MARKET?

a dirty floating market.. and not so crowd and wonderful as talked

Regret! Menyesal!

That's what I felt when I finally visited this floating market (#&(*#&*!%#$). I have been doing some research before I visit and read that wont be very expensive to visit this place! (please consider I brought 5 people with me and its all charge on me, or lets just say my treat).

I rent a car/taxi for THB 2000/10 hours. I think its cheap since the floating market is out of Bangkok, it is in Ratchaburi province which take 1.5-2 hours by free way. You can

The driver didn't take us to the main floating market, but to the port so we need to rent a boat/very small boat/kayak with machine that cost me THB 700/person or in total THB 3,500 or USD 120!
I was shock with the price but no bargain, I want to cancel but our trip there is taking 2hours so canceling would be a very disappointing for my Mom and Mother in law. So I paid. I went there because i want to buy "Durian sticky rice" which the hotel person said plenty there, but its not the season of Durian +__+ *burst in tears*. So we actually went there for nothing!

The view is ugly, the river is very dirty ( i have seen Chonggye Cheon river in Seoul, its amazing clean).
the life was very bad to see, and the price of the items is the most expensive of all. For example, I bought t-Shirt in Chatucak for THB 150 and they sell same stuff at the cost of THB 900!! Crazy price isn't it?!! The food not really nice, the people are annoying and unfriendly, I really hate this floating market.

My mom is complaining because this place is like untouchable, and also its not clean after all. we spent only 1 hours and back to our car and do sightseeing in another place.

Its not worth the price is USD 120, I can use the money to pay the hotel in luxury for 3 nights at i-Residence hotel. So, if you want to see the wonder of beauty of Bangkok do not visit this place.

Here is some picture!

My mom shop Durian finally

My Mom in law eat Kwetiaw

Some Fruit seller,

me and my baby-poor him to be in a small tiny boat

other touriest try shop here.. nasty

Experience Tiger Airways to Bangkok

My second visit to Bangkok, why? because of ticket promo from Tiger Airways.
last time I got ticket in tottaly IDR 2mio which I consider cheap, but with Tiger I got cheaper IDR 1,5mio. Actually since tiger bought Mandala Air from Indonesia, the price could have been cheaper during promo time. yesterday my friend got IDR 750,000 on departure and return for free. I mean IDR 0,- isnt amazing?? Just check their promo.

Last first visit, I visit Chatuchak market as you can see in my previous blog. I also visit Madamme TUssaud which I havent share here. I visit Siam Paragon Mall, Grand Palace and wat Arun. Thats all, since so lil time and so many things to do.

In my second visit of course I re-visit Chatuchak, who wouldnt go there twice? right?
A high fashion market with cheapy price! Then at night I visited Asiatique, patpong just for a glance sight,. I went to Damnoen Saduak floating market, and also Grand Palace area without entering, Wat Pho, Siam mall for lunch and the new Terminal One.

Will tell later about all of them!

My experience using tiger airways: the flight is OK, standar the same with Air Asia.
Tiger Airways very punctual, boarding time is very accordingly and flying time also on time.
I order food: lasagna which taste OK. the flight attendance rather old but its ok. The service is nice for the price and the luggage price is reasonable same as AirAsia.

yes I bring my mom, my sister in law and also my husband

my mother in law very happy to trip with my baby

Breastfeeding in plane make it easy ;)

Overall I have a good experience with tiger airlines so far, thats why i bought another ticket to Medan for October trip!

Hope they run smooth also.
