Hi all just came back from BBK. Berry nice and fruitful trip for me and my friend. Can you imagine buying things is so siok and nothing to worried at BBK, situation normal. Alot of items and stuff are repeated at most of the shopping or night bazzar just the pricing difference. For ppl going to chatuchap do stop for plenty of water, and wear something light eg. camisole with shorts for easlier trying.....
Hi Deadstar, for pregnant clothes i recommend you go to Siam those small lanes we saw many berry beautiful mum2be clothes i think 1 stretch selling these clothes.... Those fashion type not aunty aunty one ya......Its those little shop like those at Bugis street around novetel hotel.

Hi, skywolf
The minced meat omelette with rice can be find along the roadside outside Big C or outside WTC.
In fact it's a street food which is very common and really cheap.
Worth the try. I remember if without meat, just egg is 15B, with meat is 25B. Try out the other street food like satay sticks, deep fried meat, sotong, lots of delicious food. Miss them so much now, I wanna go back BKK.............

hi Jes,
If you do not mind walking a bit, u can actually walk to MBK. Otherwise, Asia hotel is conveniently located near BTS, so u can take BTS I guess, only 1 station to MBK (sorry not sure about this.. anyone can confirm?)
By taxi should not be expensive coz it's quite near..
Big supermarket that I now in that area is Big C (near WTC). You have to take cab though, coz it's rather far.

Hi Jes
I stayed at Asia Hotel during my Mar trip...u can walk, take BTS or cab to MBK. By BTS, MBK is juz 2 stops away...alight at National Stadium Stn...but got to change BTS at Siam Stn first (juz cross over). Prefer to travel by BTS during my trip...bcos d traffic jam can be quite bad during peak hrs.
As for Supermaket, there's a TOPS (not very big) at MBK...but still prefer to shop at Big C Supermarket (it's like Carrefour). U can take BTS to Big C...alight at Chit Lom Stn...then walk for abt 5 to 10mins.
If u juz wanna buy drinks and tibits...there r 2 7-Eleven outlets near to Asia Hotel. Hope d above info helps...enjoy ur trip!

Suan Lum Night Bazaar
I took BTS and MRT there...so dunno abt d taxi fare. Take BTS fr Asia Hotel (Ratchathewi Stn) and alight at Sala Daeng Stn (3 stops). Fare is 20 baht but in between, muz change train at Siam Stn. Then fr Sala Daeng BTS Stn, u hve to walk to Si Lom MRT Stn by using the linkbridge...take d MRT fr Si Lom Stn to Lumphini Stn (1 stop)...fare is 10baht. U can see Suan-Lum Night Bazaar once u get out of Lumphini MRT Stn!

i'm going to bkk too, last min decison (last nite!) and managed to book via agent valuair, stay at either Novotel Siam or Pathumwan Princess @ $459 nett (4D3N)over the Labour day wkend. Not sure whether it's cheaper to book separately or not but time constraint, no time to do research. Price differ a lot due to long wkend! now trying to plan wat to do in bkk. Read through recent post for guide. tks gals.
deathstar
can u send your list to me as well?
btw, for those who are planning to stay at novotel, do u know that they r doing refurnishing of their rooms, till Aug 05? Same thing w Princess, they r renovating their ground flr. I m now deciding which is the better of two to choose from.
Also beside the King n I spa, another spa u gals recommend? We would like to do some sightseeing other than temples, any place to recommend?
getting excited.. just 2 wks away.

Hi,
Just came back from BKK. Can try Chang Foot Massage. It's directly opp Notovel Siam Sq. Was there every evening during my trip. 2 foot massages (300B)& 1 aromatherapy massage (750B). Thai Massage at 250B. The place stands out because it's has a cosy environment.
Thai makan at Ma Khun Mae Rstnt opp Novotel is absolutely delicious. Nam Sing in Chinatown serves chep seafood & sharksfins.
Chatuchak is alright for shopping for knick knacks. Bought aromatic soaps from a shop that was closing down at Chatuchak. Wow, really smelled great. Regret not buying more though.
The shopping malls are great though
Rather nice shopping, impressive & no big crowds. Bought some casuals there.
