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!

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

TERMINAL 21 - Bangkok

Instead of visiting mini Siam which is located in Pattaya, quite far from Bangkok City this time i decided to visit Terminal 21 Mall. I think its pretty reasonable since I traveled with Mom and Mother in Law who is having difficulty to walk around with feet under the heat of the sun which is lately become very evil.

Short of story, how to get there?
Since I stayed in Silom just under BTS ChongNonSi, I just took this BTS paid for 20 Baht, and went down at ASOK which is directly can take you inside the Mall.
What unique about this mall? this mall has a different interior design that is define each country their represent. What I mean here is the capital of the city? Nice to walk around and to grab some picture right. Let me show you the picture:

This is Istanbul Market

London

London Bus

London Castle guardian

Rding at San Fransisco

Japan Market

this is how they design the escalator, Quite unique right, notice it: ARRIVAL AT ISTANBUL

terminal 21 from the outside

toilet in Paris

Totaly I spent 2hours and grab some drink n snack inside the mall. Also, I bought accesories like earing, bracelet etc. The price is like mall usually, not really cheap compare other Bangkok market/mall, but what they can give is actually the ambience of sightseeing around the country and its inside the mall so not Hot at all like in "mini siam". My favorite city, of course, London which has numary many picture spot.

Worth to visit even youre not in the mood for shoppping.

Cherioo ;D

JAPAN SUMO ;)
