hi jl,
if u r toking abt buying clothes from the boutiques n dept stores.... the price is almost the same as spore.
unless if u wanna buy from siam sq, mbk, chat market, etc.... usually comes in free sizes for tops. usually not convenient to try on bottoms unless if they r the small shops in siam sq or mbk.
sometimes along the linkway at siam sq, there r some ppl who sell some clothes (those place on floor mats one) same design as those in siam sq but abt half the price only.
i was recommended by a local the other time to check out baiyoke garment centre/ tower. that is a wholesale centre, i heard. i din hv time to go during the prev trip so this time die die must go! cheap but u hv to purchase at least half a dozen. i heard from a fren tat she bought half a dozen, but managed to negotiate for diff colours n designs. same applies for shoes as well.

Hi, trazz
The last time i gone to bangkok, i did visited one of the famous temple.
Actually i wore a bermudas and tank top, but to be more respectful to the buddha there, i put on my jacket before i went in. We need to take off our footwear before entering the temple, thus footwear isn't a problem.
Actually most temples got displayed notice outside the temple for tourists regarding the dress code, wearing more conservative is better, as there are holy places after all. Hope this helps.

Got one more thing to ask... did anyone attend those compulsory gala dinner (during christimas or new yr's eve) at bangkok hotels before? how much additional did u have to pay, and was it worth it?
I'm going BKK over the new yr's eve period, and many hotels have this compulsory gala dinner, which costs as much as S$100 per person!
now having a hard time finding accommodation without tt compulsory dinner.... Anyone caught in the same situation?

Yupz, i agree tt at these shopping malls, the only things worth getting wld be the undergarments. When i was at Zen, I found Charles and Keith in the shoe department, and they are so over-priced. Even at MBK, Siam Center, VNC was almost double the price as compared to S'pore.
Chatuchak is a must check-out place.. Many interesting and IN stuff, and the material used for clothes can be quite gd.

i changed to Thai baht at Ppl's park @ 23.8, 2 wks ago
When i first booked my package in Nov, the rate at Ppl's park was 24.x.. How I wished I had changed back then
but if i am not mistaken, Golden Mile usually has very gd rates...
