• Be aware of airport taxi scam as you may pay more money than it's truly is. Read the this article for more information: http://justgola.com/blog/scam-in-thailand_1-19
• Buy a map when you get out the airport.
• What to bring: You should bring personal belongings, medicine, sun cream, hats, camera, bottles of water, snack, scooter for kids.
• WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW WHEN VISITING BANGKOK:
• Department stores and other shops offer forms to get refunds of the country's 7% VAT at the airport departure hall.
• When you travel with a motorcycle taxi, ask for a helmet as they usually ignore it.
• Eating directly from your fork is considered impolite, use your fork to push food onto your spoon.
• Always say: "Meter, please" when you get on a taxi as they will be overcharged. Keep the door open until you see number 35 presented on the meter clock. (35 is the starting point for the price calculation of Thai taxis).
• Wrong change scam: When you pay for goods, the cashier may complain your notes are counterfeit and they need to look closer. It's time they change your note with a counterfeit. So you need to keep your notes in your eyes to avoid this scam.
• Don't talk about the Kings.
• Don't expect to stay in lines when you and Thais are waiting for something. Queue is not in their dictionary.

Chinatown Bangkok has a number of activities for you to explore ranging from entertainment, sightseeing, shopping or even nightlife activities.

• From The national museum: Take bus 35ร to get to Chinatown.
• One side of the main street sells dry goods, clothes, shoes, hand bags, all sorts of fun stuff. On the other side of the main drag is the food.
• It was not really clean though
• Visiting Bangkok's Chinatown at night is quite a wonderful experience but we get there first for our lunch
• Streets there are very crowded, some store wholesale only and some others have minimum quantity to sell.
• You can find all the copied brands there.
• Remember the streets or you will be lost.

Wat Ratchabophit is the former palace where the ashes of many Thai royal family are still kept. It's also conveniently located near some of the main tourist destination in Thailand (The Grand Palace and Wat pho).

• It's not crowded as other tourist destination.
• It is located very near to the Grand Palace and Wat Po, around 10min walk. We didn't visit those places as they were super crowded. Instead, we went to Grand palace and wat pho with Tong on the second day.
• There is also a royal cemetery with monuments containing the ashes of various members of the Royal Family.
• We stopped to talk to one of the monks who was really friendly and talked proudly of the history of the wat.

Madame Tussauds is a wax museum in Bangkok which presents a selection of wax celebrities in several fields from music, films to politics.

• Some of the statues are very well made... make sure you go with someone coz you'll need to have your picture taken a lot of times.
• I suggest to order the early bird ticket, because it will save your money about 50% and the place is not too crowded before the midday.
• he best part for me was getting one's own wax sculpture from the gift shop.
• Before you book or buy your ticket you might want to go to the Tourist Center in front of Siam Paragon and they give discount coupons for Tourists along with Traveler's Guide to Bangkok.
• This has been very well made and the kids had super fun clicking selfies.
• Look out for your way to not fall in the statue
