SHORT TRIP TO BANGKOK

If you have like 2 or 3 days stay in bangkok; these are the things I recommend you could do...

If u'd like to stay in a nice hotel you should look for PRATUNAM PRINCESS HOTEL; but if u want to splurge a lil bit more on dining and shopping; you prefer to stay for a reasonable,clean yet convenient hotel; please consider ASIA HOTEL.

If your stay falls on the weekends; please don't miss the chance to go to cha tu cak market.
Its a weekend market selling all kind of stuffs; from street food, snacks, clothing, accessories, souvenirs and literally everything.... haha >.<
Its gonna be crowded, hot and stuffy; so please wear casual wear that allows you to moves freely.
its few minutes walking distance from 'MO CHIT STATION' if you use skytrain.
The published opening hours for the market are from 9.00am to 6.00pm on Saturday and Sunday, though many of the stalls actually open sometime between 9.00am and 10.00am and close around sunset.
Chatuchak is also open on Friday as a market for wholesalers, but there is no problem doing normal shopping on this day either (same opening times).
BARGAINING is expected; if not mandatory.

If you prefer to do last minute or any evening shopping; consider going to SUAN LUM NIGHT BAZAAR.
How to get there: Take the MRT subway to Lumpini station; the market is near Lumpini Park, a short walk from the station.
Items at market: Creative gifts, trendy home items, clothing/jewellery boutique shops by local designers, packaged dried fruits, a few stalls selling the usual market CD's/clothing.
Open: 18:00 - 00:00 (every day).

You must try the dinner buffet at the Baiyoke Hotel, cheap n good spread n see city view n can go up observation level free cos U had dinner.

Enjoy nice before/after dinner at Sirocco sky bar atThe Dome at State Tower or known as LEBUA STATE TOWER(MUST GO!!!)
By CAB maybe about 20-25 mins from city centre.
Its at 64th floor ; correct me if I am wrong; dress well to go there.
The place is exclusively for classy people; they have open sky bar and also fine dining restaurant.
REALLY A GREAT PLACE TO HANG OUT WITH GREAT COMPANION.

Very special way to eat is called 'Bed Supper Club' at 26 sukhumit soi 11( like jetson cartoon)..

The basement foodcourt at Siam Paragon is very good too(ie. the japanese one cheap n good)
Shopping at SIAM PARAGON is great too but XXX.
You can shop at Siam Square area cheap n good can bargain too, also MBK n buy bra =D at Isetan at New world shopping (all closeby to one another).

Dont forget to check out the Fashion Mall near Baiyoke area (very big building at whole price)...enjoy spa at the Health Land near Silom, north Sathorn road OR at the Oriental Spa inside New World 4th floor( check special rate 1st).

If planning to do spa; please make advance booking.


XOXO...
