KMs Website Progress

Great website. Easy on the eye, easy to navigate and good info.
Good luck with your venture

**klongmaster** · 26-06-2010, 01:54 PM

Well things have been progressing nicely and I have been struggling to maintain the website as things have grown. HTML has it's limits!
So through the past few months I've been working on developing a new site which is database driven and everything on the site is dynamic. So much easier for me to add or delete bits and pieces and for the customer to have the ability to book right on the page is a huge benefit.
I take responsibility for everything on the 'front end' but the 'back end' is where the real work is done and I am indebted to 'mediamanbkk' for all of this. TD is a rich source of help when it's needed.

Please have a look and let me know what you think.

It looks really good. Top job.

**Loy Toy** · 26-06-2010, 02:11 PM

Nice one mate but the only comment I can make is it would be more appealing to get predominantly happy smiling farang in your promotional pictures (particularly on your opening pages) as that is the market you wish to capture.

Again looks great and all the best for your future business.

By the way Little A sends her best regards.

Thats a nice site you done there, seems a bit slow to load though, no idea why as the images are all reasonably sized.

You have all sorts of good stuff to offer. Do you have a banner on TD?

Klongmaster Website look good

The Dress standard a bit steep
What about drinking beer in the grounds of the Temple.

Tour Dress Standards

Are there any special dress requirements when visiting the Grand Palace?
A strict dress code applies at the Grand Palace and Temple of the Emerald Buddha which is Thailand's most sacred site. Visitors must be properly dressed before being allowed entry to the temple. Men must wear long pants and shirts with sleeves. No tank tops or singlets. Pants must cover the ankles. Women must be similarly modestly dressed. No see-through clothes or bare shoulders. No shorts or tights as outer garment. If long pants are worn they must cover the ankles. Proper shoes must be worn by everyone. No flip flops.
Are there any special dress requirements when visiting the Tiger Temple?
As the Tiger Temple is a working Buddhist monastery, there are some dress codes in place. Women must cover their shoulders and knees. Tank tops, short skirts, shorts, shawls and scarves are not permitted. Tights cannot be worn as an outer garment. As well, bright colours, such as red, orange, and pink are not allowed. These colours excite the tigers, and are not permitted on the grounds.

the buying travellers are far more discerning to fall for that ruse...they want facts...information...things that will help them in their planning

We don't make the rules...just advise people what to wear so they get in with no problems...fortunately we don't attract the beer drinking crowd!

**dirtydog** · 27-06-2010, 04:55 PM

think this lady was one of the ones working at the tiger temple.

**Jesus Jones** · 27-06-2010, 05:39 PM

Nice site and pleasent to browse through.

I hope you don't mind me pointing out the grammatical error below.

"that this is an viticultural"

Floating Vineyards Thailand | Siam Winery Samut Sakhon with Bangkok Day Tours

It's not necessary on TD but a business site it's worth correcting.

**klongmaster** · 27-06-2010, 06:26 PM

Ah...you're looking at the old site...
the link to the page on the new site is here.

MBK & Suan Lum Night Bazaar Shopping Tour (Code:1009)
Spend an afternoon & evening combining the shopping pleasures of both the air conditioned MBK complex and the open air night bazaar at Suan Lum. You can buy almost anything at MBK as they have 7 floors of shops. Suan Lum is open late, with markets & restaurants, so you can shop & eat here as well. More...

Nah mate, good luck with it. I always love to see people succeed here.

It's just that 8,800b, just to go to MBK, then over to Suan Luang market, and that's it, did make me double take.

**Yemen** · 28-06-2010, 07:43 AM

Great web site. Good Luck.

Well we are still in business...guess that's the answer to your question...

CM: thanks for the good wishes.

First off: Our costs are the same whether they want a day shopping or a day visiting temples. We still have to provide a vehicle, fuel, driver, guide, lunch etc.

Second: You have to understand our market. These are people who have never been to Bangkok before. Always stay at one of the 5-star hotels and spend maybe 20-30k on a days shopping. Why should we make our part cheap?

You could save yourself a fortune....get them to pay this and then take them on the unique and interesting skytrain ride to MBK and then tuktuk to nightmarket....everyone needs a tuktuk ride.

Nice site....nice photos also.

**dirtydog** · 28-06-2010, 01:17 PM

Chairman mao would transporting them round in an old skoda or lada, lunch would be at some nasty insect street stall, he doesn't seem to realise not everybody is low end like himself

Definitely a sign of success given the huge decrease in Thai tourism.
