Review

This was my second time visiting Bangkok, Thailand. I had chose this hotel because it was affordable and good location to the shopping paradise. If you first time visiting Bangkok, maybe this hotel slightly hard to find. It's because it located at the alley. 

The staffs were friendly and greeted us.

We checked-in the our room within 5 mins. We had booked standard twin. 

Good - 1. The room is spacious and neat.

            2. Two drinkable bottles provided ( Daily )

            3. Room always clean after room service

Bad - 1. The toilet ceiling is too low

          2. The toilet is so small

          3. The bed was hard and uncomfortable.

The location is convenient and is accessible to the Airport Link Ratchaparop station. A walking distance to Patrunam market, Baiyoke Sky, Platinum and many more. 20 mins walk to the Siam.

Address : 178/35 Ratchaparop Soi 5, Ratchaparop Road, Pratunam, Bangkok, Thailand 10400

Travelling the Malay Peninsula by train

Normally we get hook on riding fancy cars or accumulate on riding buses that are quick, cheap and efficient. But riding these are a pain in the neck, when long hours journey, we can't simply complain in agony about long hours being cramp inside an uncomfortable bus if it were not an express or a car that does not do justice too. Taking a plane maybe it's the best solution behind these two modes but it's not taking anywhere near to our destinations. So where do we look at? Taking the train!

Keretapi Tanah Melayu or in short " KTM" is the sole operator for the tracks that runs through the Malay Peninsula in Malaysia. Based in Kuala Lumpur, it's distance are on 1,677KM in length and a track gauge of 1,000mm that's considerable as metre gauge compared to other countries. Having a reasonable comfortable speed and fares that are generally reasonable too, their low frequency of the intercity trains does not usually make them competitive with other modes of transportation. But despite of that, one does not simply enjoy by taking the scenic scenes running through the Malaysia countryside.
