Bangkok: Heaven of Shopping
We spent two full days for shopping in Bangkok. I agreed that Bangkok is the heaven of shopping.
We didn’t go to high class shopping mall such as Siam Square. We even spent two to three hours in MBK shopping mall. The one we spent the most time is at Platinum Shopping Mall.
The location of Platinum Shopping Mall is within the walking distance from Bangkok City Inn (the place where we stayed). This shopping mall is giving warehouse price if you purchase around three pieces of their goods. Although the discounted price is slightly higher than ChaTuChak (about 10-20 baht), but it has great shopping environment because it is covered by air-conditional! Most of the fashion, bags, jewelry selling there are Thailand made, the design is quite good.
At night, we continue our shopping at Silom night market. I saw a lot of natural hand-made soup at there. It is selling at 100 baht for three pieces. I regretted that I didn’t buy it. At here, bargain is a MUST. This is especially you want to buy bag. I bought a backpack for Cubby-Boy. The retail price is 1850 baht and I manage to get it with 600 baht after ‘negotiation’! So, you have to learn bargain before you go there, haha! Determination is the crucial part!
Okay, I have been talked a lot about shopping experience at Bangkok. Indeed, this is the activity that we spent most our time. How was your shopping experience in Bangkok?
