Shnicker posted:Some more advice solicitation... I'm going to be doing my CELTA in Bangkok in September. Any recommendations for a long-ish term place to stay near the Sala Daeng BTS station? After being in Singapore I kinda forgot what Thai prices are like. Maybe 15-20k baht for a month sounds reasonable? It would be nice if it had a pool and a gym too, but I've been spoiled. Singapore goons out own Bangkok goons day in, day out, sorry friend

Depends where. It's absolutely doable - assume you will be working/studying. Give me a location, and I'll give you places to look at. Also, is that total per month or just rental? (Utilities etc can be a pain here)

Okay, so - 2-300 is about right, just making sure that's not going to gut you. For 2k you are looking at a studio, out of town or geylang like you say. I wouldn't recommend the geylang approach, as most of those condos are tiny. You might actually be better off around where I live (west coast way) there's a load of studio apartments up for grab at the 2k mark, near MRT and nice to live. It's not centre of town, but that's literally 7 mins / 6$ in a taxi so, who cares. If you need help, I can set you up give you a hand etc.

Cheesemaster200 posted:Back in Bangkok for a couple of days. This city is getting increasingly fancier every time I come back here. They are streamlining taxis at the airport and have these new machines that direct you. I took a 90-minute traffic choked taxi ride for a mere 400 baht on the meter without a peep from the driver to rip me off. I felt bad for the guy so gave him extra. Also went to the new Siam Icon since it is next to my hotel. The place is pretty nuts, even by Thai/Asia megamall standards. Is that the place with the wee boat you can take to the MRT?

BizarroAzrael posted:Funnily enough, I can to ask about Grab. I'm planning how to get from Singapore Changi airport to my hotel, probably on Orchard. It's an hour by public transport, or Google maps offers 20 minutes via Grab for under 15SGD, us that the way to go? It seems like good value, maybe it's exploitative or bad in some way I don't see? It will be more than that, but probably the cheapest option. Cab will be 25 odds and much more convenient.
