2. Bargaining and Negotiating Prices

Bargaining is acceptable in Thailand. It’s a common practice when you buy something in any market or from street vendors. However, there are some tips to keep in mind when negotiating prices. 

  • Be polite and respectful, bargain in a friendly manner, and avoid being aggressive to any sellers.
  • Pre-research to find a fair price before buying in order to negotiate effectively.
  • Start negotiating with a lower price than what you’re willing to pay. For example, a seller told you that the price for an item is 100 baht, and you’re willing to pay around 80 baht. You can start negotiating at 70 baht. The seller may ask whether 75 or 80 baht is acceptable or not. If you’re willing to pay, it’ll make the seller feel like he or she is getting a good deal.

Plants and flowers are an integral part of Thai culture and everyday life, and they play an important role in religion, decoration, medicine, food, and tourism. Although there are many plant markets in Bangkok, if you need a market with the largest selection of plants as well as the most convenient travel, only Chatuchak Plant Market is your answer. Finally, although you can get various products from the Chatuchak plant market online using many well-known online shopping platforms, the best is still going to be appreciating them at the market yourself!

A Day trip to Ayutthaya

Steeped in history and adorned with captivating ruins, Ayutthaya stands as a testament to the grandeur of ancient Thailand. Nestled along the Chao Phraya River, this UNESCO World Heritage Site invites travelers to embark on a mesmerizing journey back in time.

In this article, we will delve into the enchanting world of Ayutthaya, providing you with a comprehensive guide to plan an immersive and rewarding trip.

AIRPORTELs

What is Ayutthaya?

Generally speaking, it’s arguably Thailand’s most impressive set of temples and their answer to Cambodia’s famous Angkor Wat, and it’s home to the famous ‘Buddha head in the tree’!

Ayutthaya was actually formerly Thailand’s Capital, and in 1,700 was the largest city in the world! It’s now a UNESCO world heritage site and the fact so many people go through Bangkok without spending a day here is almost criminal, it’s an absolute must-see.

Where is Ayutthaya?

The beautiful thing about Ayutthaya, Thailand’s former capital, is that it’s less than 100km from Bangkok so getting there as a day trip from Bangkok is no problem at all.

Depending on your budget, taxis, trains, buses and tour groups are all possible options.

The Temples

While Angkor Wat in Cambodia gets all the Instagram love and column inches, Ayutthaya’s understated beauty is a perfect alternative. Get yourself in a tuk-tuk or explore for yourself.

Once you’re on the mini-island with Ayutthaya where all the temples are dotted around, you come in and out of each individual temple complex, at some of the larger temples, you ‘donate’ 20-50 THB (roughly $1) for each one, so factor in another $5-$10 for temple entries as a maximum, well worth it when you see how impressive they are.

  • Wat Phanan Choeng: a large temple that houses a 19-meter-high golden Buddha statue, which is one of the most revered statues in Thailand.
  • Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon: a temple that was built in the 14th century and is known for its giant reclining Buddha statue, which is over 40 meters long.
  • Wat Phra Ram: a temple that was built in the 14th century and is known for its well-preserved stucco reliefs and intricate carvings.
AIRPORTELs

Historical parks and ruins

the Ayutthaya Historical Park, which contains numerous ancient temples, palaces, and other historical sites. Some of the most popular ruins include Wat Phra Si Sanphet, Wat Mahathat, and Wat Chaiwatthanaram.

 Wat Phra Si Sanphet
Wat Phra Si Sanphet
  • Wat Phra Si Sanphet: a royal temple that was once the holiest temple in Ayutthaya. It features three impressive chedis (stupas) that contain the ashes of three Ayutthaya kings.
  • Wat Mahathat: one of the oldest and most important temples in Ayutthaya. It is known for its iconic Buddha head entwined in tree roots, which is one of the most photographed sites in Ayutthaya.
  • Wat Chaiwatthanaram: a beautiful temple located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. It was built in the Khmer style and is known for its striking architecture and impressive views of the river.

Museums and cultural centers

Ayutthaya has several museums and cultural centers that showcase the city’s history and culture. Some of the most popular museums and cultural centers

Chao Sam Phraya National Museum
Chao Sam Phraya National Museum
  • Chao Sam Phraya National Museum: a museum that houses a large collection of artifacts and exhibits related to Ayutthaya’s history and culture.
  • Ayutthaya Elephant Palace and Royal Kraal: a cultural center that is dedicated to preserving the Thai elephant and its role in Thai culture.

Far fewer tourists and a fun day trip with the local train. You can even be back in Bangkok ready to party or move on to the islands, or Chiang Mai the same evening.

Get yourself in a tuk-tuk or explore for yourself, either way, you’ll love it I promise. Ayutthaya should be on the list of everyone who travels through Bangkok.

AIRPORTELs Nationwide Luggage Delivery

How to Protect Your Luggage from Any Potential Damages

If you prepare well for your trip, you’ll be able to protect your luggage and thus to prevent any potential damages.

To prevent yourself from running into that kind of trouble, you need to plan well to protect your luggage. The question is what can we do to protect our luggage from any potential damages? Let see!

AIRPORTELs

Luggage Problems

One of the problems that might come up when we travel by plane to other place is, as is commonly known, our luggage gets some physical damages such as scratches or scuffs.

The worst case is it breaks. Most of the time this is caused by rough handling by some baggage handlers, but sometimes it can also take place due to your carelessness.

Airport

Imagine you’re at an airport in a country you’ve never visited before and one of your bags breaks, causing some of your items to come out.

What’s worse is you don’t have any space left in any of your other bags.In that case, life would be a lot more complicated for you. First of all, you aren’t familiar with the place, so you have no idea of where to get your luggage fixed as soon as possible.

You don’t even know if it’s possible to get it fixed there. Should you get yourself a new bag? You don’t know where to buy it, either.

How to protect your luggage

Luggage

1. Buy the right bag

One of the best ways is to buy the right bag. That’s right. Buy the right bag! Did you know the protection started from the moment you selected your bag? Give priority to quality, not price. It’s likely for low-quality luggage to break easily. So, when you buy a new bag, always look for one with an appropriate design and a good material.

2. Maintain the luggage regularly

Clean your luggage regularly or at least before your next trip. Cleaning can help maintain the quality of your bags to some extent.

AIRPORTELs

3. Check the luggage

Always check if your current luggage is good enough for your upcoming trip. If it isn’t, get yourself a new one. Don’t be thrifty. Remember, some countries have higher living costs. If your luggage gets damaged there, you might have to buy a new bag at a higher price.

4. Put things in the luggage that are not too heavy

Pack your luggage as lightly as you can. Don’t put too much stuff in your bags. Too heavy a bag can cause its handle to break if towed or pulled with too much force.

5. Avoid sitting on your luggage

It wasn’t designed for sitting, so it might not be strong enough to support your weight. If you’re too heavy, some of its wheels might break.

6. Store liquid well

Zip up your liquid items or toiletries so they have less chance of spilling within your luggage. Some of these items can harm the material inside your bag.

6. Wrap your luggage in plastic

The plastic wrap is very useful. It can protect your bag as well as you. Read these two articles entitled 5 Reasons Why Wrapping Your Luggage Before a Flight Is a Must and I Need to Get My Luggage Wrapped!! Where Can I Do That? for more information on how good wrapping your luggage is and to have an idea of where you can find the luggage wrapping service.

Remember, your luggage is also an important part of your trip. You carry a part of your life with you. So, protect it well. You have less chance of enjoying your trip, or even less chance of surviving

AIRPORTELs Guide

Thai cuisine is the national cuisine of Thailand. Balance, detail and variety are of paramount significance to Thai chefs. In his book The Principles of Thai Cookery, renowned celebrity chef, writer and authority on Thai cuisine McDang wrote.

What is Thai food?

Bangkok Street Food
Many kind of thai food sell in street market , thailand

Every country in the world has its own food profile.

It reflects its culture, environment, ingenuity and values. In the case of Thailand, these words come to mind: intricacy; attention to detail; texture; color; taste; and the use of ingredients with medicinal benefits, as well as good flavor.

We not only pay attention to how a dish tastes: we are also concerned about how it looks, how it smells, and how it fits in with the rest of the meal.

We think of all parts of the meal as a whole – sum rap Thai (the way Thais eat), is the term we use for the unique components that make up a characteristically Thai meal.”

Bangkok Street Food

Thai cooking places emphasis on lightly prepared dishes with strong aromatic components and a spicy edge.

It is known for its complex interplay of at least three and up to four or five fundamental taste senses in each dish or the overall meal: sour, sweet, salty, bitter and spicy.

Australian chef David Thompson, a prolific chef and expert on Thai food, observed that unlike many other cuisines:

AIRPORTELs Guide

“Thai food ain’t about simplicity. It’s about the juggling of disparate elements to create a harmonious finish.Like a complex musical chord it’s got to have a smooth surface but it doesn’t matter what’s happening underneath. Simplicity isn’t the dictum here, at all. Some westerners think it’s a jumble of flavours, but to a Thai that’s important, it’s the complexity they delight in.

Best Thai Street Food Areas in Bangkok
