Users Reviews of City 99 Asia Travel (S)

Never travel with this agency, booked a flight with them for travelling to bangkok in August 2011 and intended travel date is Oct 2011 where Bangkok is fooding like crazy. I called the agent in charge of my booking from City 99 to try to postpone my flight. Anawer from her is that i need to incur an addutional 75 dollars in order to change my flight. The problem is Thai airways has issued a memo for customers affected by the flood to change their dates free of charge, i called up another travel agency and their answer is that they will help customers change their travel date free of charge even if it is sale/restricted ticket, i cannot believe City 99 is asking me to pay. They are CHEATER BUGS. Dun go with them, terrible experience!!!!!

Have booked travel packages with them twice and always on good promo offers! Includes good hotels as well! Service staff are very helpful and patient. :) THumbs-up!

I have booked a bangkok tour with city 99 asia travel. Was taking this flight Myanmar airlines. It is my first time going overseas with my family so was thinking of actually taking a better flight. I have never heard of this airlines but still decided to go ahead and try because it is cheap haha!

I was initially skeptical at the flight timing, why does one airlines has such a weird flying time? until I realize its final stop is at Myanmar! Check in at the airport was ok although a bit crowded. The plane itself was nothing to shout about and since its only 2hrs flight and its cheap, so there is nothing to complain about it actually

When I proceed to the meeting point and even though the travel agency told me that the guys there will be wearing red t shirt, I was like huh? RED SHIRT??! Isn’t the red shirt something of a taboo in Thailand? Apparently I was quite the naïve and ignorant 1 haha..! There was like 10 of them waiting there. (I assume they are all tour guides waiting) all wearing red shirt! Oh my! Like a mini gathering! Oh my goshhh…

We got onto the tour bus and hit the pinnacles of what it seems to be the norm of Thailand… TRAFFIC JAM! It was about an additional of 20mins to our total journey to our hotel. We stayed at Centrepoint patchburi 15. The hotel exterior was pretty old but looks can be deceiving as upon entering the hotel and to its lobby I was taken aback..! It is not too bad actually! With many sawadeekrap from the staffs there, it is actually quite funny! We have a total of 6 person so we took 3 rooms. Initial though we wanted 2 rooms but the travel agency say since we are paying the same price, might as well take 3 rooms. They say they will not care how we actually sleep in the room. We went into the room and oh my gosh! The room is huge! Like an apartment! Do people actually stay there long term? I wouldn’t mind! Since its already late afternoon we decided to freshen ourselves up and go do some shopping!

Oh gosh.. Thailand is extremely warm and humid! There is a distance from the hotel and out, I dunno its like a very short walk of 4mins? We were brisk walking as it is extremely hot so we have no idea how far. We decided to hide in platinum fashion mall to do some intensive shopping and later in the evening we went to the night market nearby to grab some dinner before ending the night.

Second day started with a hearty breakfast, I like the spread even though my parents said its average. But hey, everything is subjective ok! We then proceed to the city tour. Woo hoo time for some praying! Went to 4 faced Buddha nearby, huh? It’s only so near? We could probably go ourselves next time! Floating market?! What is this? Seems like we only go there to feed the fishes! Floating market for the fish? Haha! What a hilarious morning for the half day tour! After that is more shopping and more sweating!Oh my I realized I have said too much as if it is my own blog! Haha!

Anyways I have enjoyed myself in Bangkok and will head down again! So will city 99 give me discount next time round if I manage to introduce customers to them? I wish!

p.s the tour guide also has a wacky English name. Hes Jacky! And he is like really handsome, not like those dark dark tan tan thai worker in Singapore! Not forgetting he is young as well ;)
I gave him my msn hope he remembers me! ;)
