We went temple of dawn (Wat Arun) and Grand palace last Dec. Heard from cab driver there is a fun park which you may like to check it out. Also can consider the zoo and floating market?

For HuaHin can take train or van/. You see this blog for more info: http://kampungboycitygal.com/2012/01/getting-to-hua-hin-from-bangkok-transportation-guide/


For Pattaya I think on Van/bus.

You can take van/bus from Victory Monument or southern bus terminal.

Why not go Kanchanaburi which is more educational for kids. Can also go via train or bus/van from southern bus terminal and victoria monument too.

Hi

Hi,
I have the some concern with you, my family planing to travel during June school holiday with my two kids age (7&3) and I'm thinking to book deluxe room and request extra bed. Dunno the room is enough for four of us not.
Any advise???

Do you really need an extra bed? For my family, we usually request for King bed or twin bed (if the beds are super single). We never request for any extra bed. My kids now is 10 and 6 years old. In the past when my son was younger 4 years old and below, we used to ask for baby cot.

for Kanchanaburi , how long is the journey from BKK and will it be better to stay a nite there instead, if the travelling time is too long?
lastly, what can we do in Kanchanaburi ?

I have never been to Hua Hin but I heard that that is a place where more locals go. I went to Pattaya before and it is very nice - I believe there is a Hilton there.

To travel to Pattaya you can also rent a van. The vans will cost you about 500 Baht a day I think. Pretty decent rate. Taking the bus will take longer and sometimes it is not as comfortable I hear.
