Bangkok or Hongkong
I forgot to mention the arrival day .. its 22nd Jan and its a Sunday .. are Hongkong and Bangkok as crowded on Sundays as on weekdays? Sunday is 'Filippina day' in HK, a hundred thousand or so Filippinas picknicking in Central/TST/Victoria Park. Other than that there won't be that much difference. BKK will be exactly the same as always. Traffic might be a little lighter though, come to think of it. Are some of these attractions closed on Sundays .. Or do these cities have some special events on Sundays? Dunno if the royal palace in BKK is open on Sundays. I would think it is, but I'm not sure. In HK, as I said, Filippina Day of course. I am more interested in going to Bagkok and want to see "The Grand Palace" .. read so many good reviews about it. Would it be possible to see Grand Palace on Sunday in the amount of time I have in the city? It would be possible, yes, but it might be a little stressing to make it back to the airport in time. But yes, it would be possible if you really, really want to do it. Will I have time left to see anything else? Probably not, Does it make more sense to take a city tour in Bangkok? In my opinion, given your very limited time and Thai organisation at times , no. I understand that its very easy to get around in Hongkong but the reason I am not very interested in going to Hongkong is because I have lived in the US for 3 years. And am not sure how different Hongkong is from the US? Am I wrong in thinking this way? I haven't been to the US but I would think it IS very different. So, if you really want to see BKK, you can, but I still think time-wise, you'd get a lot more out of a visit to HK. It would be a lot less stressing too. If you don't get off the beaten track in HK (like visiting Lantau or something), you can get to the airport within 45 minutes to one hour from wherever you are. As I said in another post, I dearly love both cities; am merely advising HK because of time/practical considerations. Kris |
