- The weather at Bangkok is extremely hot - well, Thailand is one of the countries with tropical climate: hot and humid throughout the year. But, I can't help to feel that Bangkok is hotter than in Malaysia.
- People there are extremely warm and friendly. They treat guests very nicely. Honestly, I felt a little awkward at first.
- Ladies in Bangkok are slim and pretty. (Mmm...most of them)
- The food portion is rather small and some food tastes a little sweeter.
- There are a lot of stalls selling drinks, grilled and fried food by the road side.
- The traffic at Bangkok is rather bad when relatively compared with Malaysia.
- Some Thais look a lot like Chinese. They are fairer compared to others. Probably, they are the Thai Chinese.
- Thai guys and girls are extremely good looking!
- Majority of Thai ladies (in Bangkok) apply make up and wear high heels when going to work.
- I like the way the Thais speak (in terms of intonation and pronunciation). Sounds polite and gentle. Even guys speak gently!
- There are many similarities between Malaysia and Thailand. Most things in Bangkok can be found in Malaysia.
- The train service is Bangkok is as efficient as Singapore's. You don't have to worry if you have missed the train. The next train arrives about 5 minutes after the previous one.
- You could see a lot of people wearing yellow on Mondays. I was told that Monday is the King's birthday.
- The departmental stores and shopping malls close pretty early - about 9pm local (Bangkok) time. **Bangkok is an hour behind Malaysia.
- You would be surprised that the price of an item in night markets can be slashed up to 70-75% after bargaining! (Hint: a necklace can be purchased at 60 Baht instead of the usual 240 Baht quoted)
I hope to go to other interesting places in Thailand such as Pattaya, Krabi, Samui, etc. In fact, I hadn't been to tourists attractions other than night markets (Si Lom and Suan Lum) due to time constraint.

I like to visit Bangkok despite of the humid and warm weather. but what's more rewarding than a fulfilling retail therapy within your budget? hehe...my advice, always visit a country with a lower currency rate and shop till you drop!!!
Yeah, totally agree with you! Bangkok has always been ladies' paradise eh? The spa there is also very very reasonable ;-)
