Attention! Below is my feeling towards the trip and some advice, if you don’t wish to read, scroll down and it is an itinerary to download.

I went to Bangkok again after nearly five months. Actually, I prefer to go to different country but not Thailand again at first. However, I booked the flight ticket when my boyfriend had made me angry. At that time, my classmates (2 girls) asked me whether I want to join them or not. So, as I didn't want to bring my boyfriend along this time, I decided to join them.

As I went to Bangkok with my classmates this time, I couldn't really decide everything on my own. At first, I wanted to book the Dozeoff Guesthouse that I stayed with my sister before. However, one of my travel-mates said that its review was not so good (but I think it is really great). Through democratic method, we chose Tokyo Apartment (booked on Booking.com). It was more expensive than the guesthouse I booked before. They liked the private bathroom provided by Tokyo Apartment so we finally decided to book this stay although it didn't have a lot of review. We chose it because its location is near to Pratunam Market (around 1km) and its price was acceptable. But, I really not recommend for you to stay here! (If you are new to Airbnb and wish to have a discount too, click here http://abnb.me/e/miEldJsBp1.)

What I want to share here is the stay is really terrible this time. I like Bangkok a lot after first time travelling to there in May. I really like Thai people as they are friendly and kind, but the host of this stay is really not friendly and not kind (He is from Vietnam and stay in Bangkok). We already told him that we will check-in late as our flight arrived around 9 pm (we asked before we booked too). But, when we arrived there, he didn't show up and we can't even contact him through the number and messenger he gave (such a jxrk!) Then, we walked around and discovered the key was at the door! What if someone had entered the room before and waited for us to do something bad? He was very irresponsible! Then, he only online next day around 10 am! He didn't tell us that the key was at the door! If we can't find the key, where should we stay that night?! The experience really made me feel bad towards the journey!

The next day, we went to Grand Palace, Wat Arun and etc. On the third and the forth day, we went to buy the clothes and some snacks. For real, the feeling of travelling with classmates was not so good as I thought. When I traveled with my sister, I can decide everything but when I traveled with my classmates, I always made a concession although I knew the decision may be not good (as I traveled to Bangkok twice). But, this experience also taught me to be more mature and tolerate. After I went back to Malaysia, the host contacted me and told me that the toilet was clogged by the tissue papers. In Malaysia, it is very common that we throw the tissue paper into the toilet bowl if it doesn't mention at first. The point is the host provided the tissue papers and didn't provide the dustbin in the toilet! However, my classmates and I agreed to pay the maintenance fee as we knew it was our fault. But, we were really getting angry as the host changed his word! He said we needed to pay 300 baht at first, then we agreed to pay through Western Union. Then, he said we need to pay 400 baht! Holy! I think he was cheating! After that, we said we only can pay 300 baht, if he didn't want to accept, then he can ask the third party (Booking.com) to get involved in this situation. The host didn't want to accept and I dunno whether he asked another party to get involved or not. But he tried to threaten me that he will spam me if I didn't want to pay (I blocked him after that)! Oh my goodness! How come he can be like that! He tried to cheat me at first but behaved like a jerk after that! Then, I made a report to Booking.com about this case (chat history as evidence). This stay is really NOT RECOMMENDED!!!

Lastly, hope y'all gets something from my sharing. I think I will not book the stay which doesn't have much review after this!
