apple: Branded Lingerie is cheap in Bangkok. Not sure those cheap 1s. Famous brand people buy are usually wacoal.
I usually use the weighing machine in the hotel room to weigh my luggage and make sure they don't exceed, if they do, i take some stuff out and hand carry them. Everywhere sell luggage bag, chatuchak, MBK, Isetan... but i am not sure about the prices.
peachbloom: Pratunam market is open on weekdays as well, but there are more stalls on Sunday therefore some of the small lane are closed for cars. Chatuchak, nowadays most stores don't give discount as much as 50%.. Probably only 10 to 20% thats all. You can't bargain much for items tagged with price. They won't give so much discount as compared to last time because last time prices were raised very high for people to bargain, but now prices are reduced to their "almost" best price.
zenn: Hi zenn, yeah, i know insurance don't cover those stuff thats why it isn't worth buying since Bangkok is so safe except for some pickpockets. How many times have u been to Bangkok this year?
Stacy: If you want Pratunam area, then take Baiyoke Sky or Indra Regent. As Ling have said, Baiyoke Suite is an old building. Thats all i can say. My last trip at Baiyoke Sky, booked a junior suite and was upgrade to a Superior Suite. The room was almost the size of a 4room HDB flat, a door seperating bedroom and living room.
