3)Activities to do in BKK???
4)Best place where night life can be enjoyed?

I will be leaving to Krabi from BKK. Will be taking train to Thung Song.

Please advice.

It is very refreshing to see someone going for lesser-known destinations. Indeed, in the dazzling lights of Shanghai, Malaysia and Hong Kong, people have more or less forgotten about Thailand. A shame considering the diverse attractions that this country offers. Bangkok is definitely a good spot for a vacation. It is also a very economical place for a vacation. Some advice - don't try to venture out in the city very late at night. Its not safe. Try not to go into the downtown area alone. Otherwise, Bangkok is quite a tourist friendly destination.
