Was this of any help to you?
Hello, my friend, I am looking for the Indonesian embassy in Bangkok, do you, by chance, know where I have to get off the sky train?
Hi Pon, Thanks for visiting. I have to check that out with the Indonesian embassy, just a moment.
See you Stefan
Hi there, that is what I was looking for, thanks.
Do you live in Bangkok?
Hi. Oh again, no, sorry I don’t live in Bangkok my self. But that’s probably why I post these important BTS stations, so I find the right places the next time I visit.
Have a great time and see you
Stefan
This is a really detailed information. I’m impressed. I’ve bookmarked this and will definitely refer back to this when I’m going Bangkok! Thank you.
Hi Jerry, back already?
I will extend the list of important BTS stations in Bangkok soon, as it is quite convenient to quickly check how to get to places one has planned to go.
My next list in the row is the most frequent visited embassies in Bangkok and the most famous sightseeing places.
See you later. Stefan
Wow Stefan, awesome post! I have heard that the trains are pretty nice over there, so it is a bonus to be able to see the city knowing that you can get around quickly and efficiently. Do you do tours of that city? I think it would be fun to have a guided tour, since you seem to know where all the good food is!
Hi Irma, nice hearing from you again.
Sorry, no, I don’t do tours in Bangkok as it is too busy and smoggy and too hot for me there.
There are plenty of guided tours through the town though. You can book them on the internet or better and cheaper once you are in town.
The sky train is an efficient way to get around the city although the stations are quite far apart. Due to the huge size of Bangkok, you need to use several different public transport systems to get to every corner.
Good food you find not only in Bangkok anyway.
Thanks for your visit and see you, Stefan
