Thailand And Laos Journey: 30. Bangkok Itinerary?

Thailand and Laos (and Myanmar if I can manage it)

Hello, Sawatdee kaa and Sabai dee,

My next trip will be Thailand and Laos, and this is all about the before, the trip and the after - similar to my Malaysia/Cambodia blog. I am putting together from start to finish - tickets, do's and don'ts, tours, where to stay, places to see, things to do, as well as useful extras like transport, good places to eat, what to wear, climate, tourist traps, tricks and tips and whatever else I can think of that will be useful.

If you have any tips or advice, please, feel free to leave a comment and add your bit - whatever you think may be helpful or interesting.
Cheers.

Friday 25th - Arrive HuaLamphong Train Station 6.35am. Taxi to New Siam II.
Wat Arun, Royal Palace, Wat Po. Canal excursion? Royal barges?

Saturday 26th - Ayutthaya day trip

Sunday 27th - Jim Thompson's House, Siam Square?, Chinatown, Chatuchak market? Night market?

Monday 28th - Pattaya day trip. Train or bus?

Tuesday 1st - Depart

Palaces and Barges
Ferry at Phra Athit down to the stop off for Wat Pho and Wat Arun.

8.00am ~ Canal excursion
