CCK market is the popular market is the market that most people talk about in this forum. When you have the map, it's shown very clearly.
You might wish to try looking at the interactive map on www.sawadee.com to have an idea where it is. It's beside a BTS and very convenient. There is also alot of food stalls there...

Dear Icebaby,
Yes the suan lum nite bazaar is till around but I did not see the ferris wheel though....hmmm...
For Patpong, I actually quite enjoy shopping and bargaining price there,hehe...but would have enjoyed more if there is no pimps around...eeww...I bought most stuff from MBK and Patpong... It was a pity I was there on weekdays,therefore Chacucchak is not open..

Happiness&Bliss,
I never like Patpong cos it's overpriced (the stuff). I like Suan Lum because of the open space and also because the food there not bad leh.
Now I also dun bother to go CCK market, I would just go Pratunam and shop the wholesale. Normally can get alot of stuff from there and inexpensive. Every yr I go and stock up on clothes and office wear (less than $10/each)...and esp T-Shirts (which cost about $2/each).
However, this trip in Nov must see if got energy anot cos I bring my older son and going with my cousin-in-law and her kids. Hubby not going. Plus I preggy..hahaha. So dunno whether can manage to go Pratunam even. But I like Platanium Fashion Mall's food court...the food there taste better than MBK. But my 1st love is always MK...which my son also like!

bonjour,
the $2 T-shirts are along the Pratunam area...just have to walk around and check. I dun know actual place but twice (in 2 seperate trip), I stumbled to the place where alot of different kinds of T-shirts are sold. But hor..it's free size.
Platanium Fashion mall is along Pratunam...u just need to cross the road and walk along/around those places. There is alot more wholesale shops. Platanium is air-conditioned and price is slightly higher but it's a comfortable shopping experience.
Chinatown there are I think a few shops you can go. I forgot wat are the shop names...Nam Sing and something else. I didn't go there in Mar...cos I brought 2 kids + Parents along. It's abit hard. However, in MBK, they have some outlets...i think also have sharkfins.
Good food isn't hard to find. It's just what do u mean by "good food"...cos everyone's taste buds is different. For me, I just love the food courts in Platinum Fashion Mall + MBK and also MK resturant for the diversified food. =)

MrsWang,
What's impt is to enjoy. Not necessary to cover all places...cos you have a big group. What's impt is where you want to go and what u intend to buy. Cos different pple got different taste. For me I love normal t-shirts,simple working pants and skirts...so I not so picky.
Hello kitty stuff..last yr I went, I saw at Sampang Market there.
Oh...not sure if u know. Samran Place doesn't have buffet breakfast. Every morning u are given a menu of 6 items (I hope it's still 6 items) to choose from. The Western meal (consist of 2 eggs, 1 sausage, 1 piece of ham, 2 slice of toasted bread, 1 small cup of orange/lime juice & coffee/tea) is normally sufficient for me...and my kids. =P Bf is also till 10.30am (I think. Anyway, if hungry...got alot of places can find food.
Also if you intend to take cab most of the time to MBK and etc. My advise is to "cross" the overhead bridge (a short distance) to the 7 elevan there to get a cab...rather than the cab doing a U-turn. (i.e. when u leave samran hotel, turn left...if turn right, will be walking to BTS)

Oh..also on the left when u walk out of Samran Place..if u walk further after the overhead bridge, there is an A&W there. Normally empty. Not bad...if u miss A&W rootbear float and curly fries. =P
Opposite there is a coffee cafe (I dun drink coffee so didn't try).
For me, cos I normally bring my kids, we will always return back to hotel to ZZZZZZZzzz in the afternoon. Hubby and I are quick shoppers. LOL

there is an interactive map that you can look at. The BTS I think can be seen there.

Suan Lam is using metro...not BTS. Advise that it's easier to take a cab there. But cab back can be expensive.

Pratunam (eh...no actual near BTS. It's near to Grand Diamond Hotel..click on the map for location of grand diamond...platinum fashion mall is right beside it. Pratunam is just opposite that place)

Come to think of it. I can't remember if there is a kettle for boiling.
We normal just take the mineral water provided by the hotel cos we are water drinkers (n hubby is a coke drinker)...so we normally dun bother to boil water (if there is a kettle).
If they do not have a kettle, I think u can ask for it. I know they do not have a hair dryer but u can request. Remember to make sure ur bags are those with password locks...cos they do not have a safe in the room (same as Eastin hotel). I normally just stuff my passport and stuff in my luaggage and lock up. ) >_<

mrswang,
I dun know which particular day how bad the traffic but you will b able to see it. Normally if u are leaving for airport, I try to leave 3hrs+ in advance...just in case. The current airport is said to be around 30 mins away.
Hotel dun have hair dryer..but i think u can ask for it.
Metro is like underground. BTS above. They are not connected.
Sampang market is at chinatown (no BTS or Metro). Take cab

mrswang,
Actually I had been to BKK 3 times only. This Nov will be my 4th.
1st time I went was 5 yrs ago. 2nd time was last Mar. 3rd time was this yr Mar.
I normally read up on the places that I am going. Because my hubby won't ever bother. So I have to plan where to go, what to do...so we dun get bored.

last yr I took airasia...got FOC airtickets..i think around $80+/pax (include tax).
This Mar, I took tigerairways...$1+ one way..paid $95+/pax (include tax)
Then this coming one, airasia ...FOC tickets...paid tax...total $111/pax
I normally buy them when FOC or $1/way. =) Cos if I can't go, my pocket dun feel so painful.
