Places to visit/shop:
1. Centralworld - the newest mall in Bangkok. Large, spacious, clean, it reminds us of the best malls along Orchard Rd, except it's not as crowded. Food in poshy restaurant costing only as much as that from food courts in Sg, quality excellent! We had dinner at a restaurant called Kobune. There are lots of Jap restaurants here, and Kinokuniya, probably because as we say in Mandarin, "the Japanese wind is blowing at the moment". But everything in ToysRus is more ex than in Sg. We know, we checked it out.
2. MBK - probably the most famous mall in BKK? I got a few bags from a shop here - Udom Age.
2. Indra Square - an older, more neighbourhood mall in the Pratunam area where our hotel was. Kind of like Peninsular Plaza, and Pearl Centre. Practically everything you can find at MBK, you can get almost at half price here, plus it's nearer to our hotel.
We stayed at the Eastin Bangkok Hotel, booked online via Agoda. Thanks to Lynn for the recommendation! There's a roadside stall just across the road (outside 7-11) selling the best chicken/pork satay we've ever tasted, and for only 5 baht per stick. Good business round the clock. We wanted to get more on our last day but it wasn't open.
