Hi all

I intend to bring my family to Safari World, 3A, 2C and 1Baby.
Any recommendations? Would it be better to hire pte driver or take their coach for the safari? If pte driver, any idea how much to pay and we also need to buy entrance ticket for them/their car?
Hope to have some idea before I start booking. We intend to go in mid November.

I am looking for a hotel that can accommodate 2 Queen Size beds in 1 room. I called Novotel Siam Square but they said they do not have. Anybody has any recommendation?
Centre Point Hotel Pratunam and The Berkeley Pratunam. They have family room.
I stay at Centre Point Pratunam 3 times this year. Very satisfied. Location is very near Pratunam market and Platinum Mall. There is also 2 decent eateries (night time only) in front of McDonalds.

Be sure to eat Cold Stone, only 65 baht.

And buy lots of pocky from Big C. Very cheap at about $0.50 per box.

Thank you, dragonmummy, for your suggestions.. Will look around for suitable tours.

I was planning to go Damnoen Saduak floating market f&e by taking taxi. Not too keen to take up tour package as they bring tourists to those factories along the way and no freedom to control timing. Not planning to stay too long there.

But I read a lot of reviews about tourists being ripped off when they are being dropped off at the wrong place and subsequently forced to pay sky high prices for their long tail boats. Anybody has some tips to share to avoid this? Anyone knows where exactly is the place where we can visit the market, with the option of either taking the long tail boat or paddle boat if we want later? What is the lowest or average price for the long tail boat or paddle boats?

Any sharing is appreciated. You're welcomed to pm me to share any info. Tks!
