1) cabs in bkk are amazingly cheap so not worth to rent a car (always do meter or youll get ripped off)
2)Floating market-palace-alligator farm(has tigers and elephants as well)- Elephant trekking-night market
3)We stayed at the Davis-very nice hotel and very worth the price. its about 8 minute walk from Chabad(keep in mind that there are 2 or three chabads inn bkk-the davis is not near the main one,with the resteraunt,but def. does the job with meals and davening.)
We always got food delivered to the hotel and its much faster and easier then going there.

Regarding bkk-we found one very good market(i think its called potpong or something) evrything else, like mbk and other malls wasnt too gr8. Theres the palace,floating market and some elephant, snake and aligator farms. id say you need two days to get it all. Dont know how it comparres to cnx

Unless youre really into history and statues, you dont need more then a full day in rome. Paris is a much nicer city and has more to do other then seeing ruins.

I got it from jetsetter on a flash sale (it was in off season/augst and I think it was around 280. After doing research I got the lowest level room-which is what I advise. The 2nd level room,I think its called the lagoon room, is the exact same size and room type,except its on the lagoon. All that means is that its near the water. My friendd took that room and he said it was terrible bec much more mosquitos and lizards. And u barely see the "lagoon". Stick to the reg room.its perfect very large and gorgeous.

Had the visa, applied for mc but got declined. So called to close visa and open mc and worked no problem. Now after a week I accidently used my visa and it works-and my online account shows that they are both working seperately. Any one have this? I don't want to call chase to ask cuz I may ruin it.
Also does this mean I can earn UR points with two different accounts,not affecting eachother?
