BKK Trip

I was stalking Elaine's blog (:P) when I read about her BKK trip. That's when I realised that I'm going in less than 3 week's time & I haven't even planned our itinerary! It's our 1st time to BKK & I have absolutely no idea where to go & what to do. I know nothing except for MBK & Chatuchak. We chose Asia Hotel as recommended by my colleague who says that it is in a very convenient location for shopping & there's a BTS station just beside the hotel. She warned us that the hotel is quite old but there's no point getting a high end hotel & having to pay much more since we're gonna be out most of the time.

Our F&E package includes a half day tour which is on day 2. Becoz we booked our flight for early morning departure & last flight back to Sg, we have 2.5 days left on our own. We're taking Jetstar so should be Terminal 3 right? What should I expect when taking budget airline? Heard that there's no food, no drink & no entertainment. Is it true?

I did some research already & I found Chatuchak's map. So I hope it won't be too difficult to find my way around. Oh, Enrica, can you sell us any tripod that you don't want? This way we can take pictures of ourselves in the airport & hotel. Hehe.
