Day 1 in Bangkok 2014

It's February 12, 2014, Wednesday.
Woke up around 8ish in the morning,took a bath then had breakfast in the hotel restaurant.

First Stop: Pratunam Market (Wholesale Market) you can find tops for 60 THB 
Second Stop : Platinum Mall, just across Pratunam Market (Wholesale Market)
Due to the protesters and road blocks, we decided to walk to the Central World, Siam Square , Paragon and Discovery and MBK

We had our late lunch at 3:00 p.m. at Inter, Siam Square, Soi 5
If you want to watch a Free Muay Thai Show, go to MBK they offer free Muay Thai show every Wednesday at 6:00 P.M. but since there are lots of protesters, we decided not to watch the show and just try Mr. Jones Orphanage in Siam Discovery
After a long and busy day shopping and trying thai food, desserts, etc. 
We decided to just stay in the hotel, buy dinner in hawker stalls and try the foot massage near our hotel.

PLANNER

I don't normally spend my money for myself. I also don't mind wearing clothes from bazaar or ukay-ukay and  I also don't buy expensive gadgets.

But there's one thing that motivates me and makes me wanna save money....TRAVEL

BANGKOK 2013

Bangkok is my second home. 

The happiest place on earth (for me)

Its also a good place to go shopping. 

They also have rich culture and nice places to visit. 

The hotels are very affordable

 The food is cheap and clean (a mixture of sweet, sour, salty and spicy)
.......................................

This year, I went to visit my second home with my bestfriendenemy

Its his first time so I want him to have a good time.

I booked my favorite hotel in Pratunam

Bodacco, The Living Place.


The hotel is chic, affordable and clean.

They also have good service and serve delicious breakfast.

I love the toasted bread, butter and strawberry jam 

.......................................

The hotel is near the shopping malls and markets.

I love Pratunam Market which is 2min walk from the hotel.

 Its a good place to buy clothes for women.

The more items you purchase, the cheaper.

Try the Thai Milk Tea THB20-30 each cup

............................................

Across Pratunam Market is Platinum Mall (Fashion Mall)

Its a 7 storey mall that sells clothes, shoes, accessories, etc.

there's also a food market outside the mall.

The strawberry yogurt is a must try for only 25 THB
................................

After Platinum Mall, you can walk to the next shopping mall

Central World. 

There's a shrine outside the mall and you'll see locals praying and offering fruits, etc.

You should try the food court on the heighest floor. It's so clean.

After Central World, just keep walking.

You'll see Siam Center, Paragon, Discovery and Siam Square.

Dont forget to try the desserts in Magnum Cafe.

After the Magnum Experience, go to the other side of the mall.

Siam Paragon

Siam Paragon is a highend mall. There's a lot of attractions to try and see

 Try the 5star movie experience. 

Too bad we didnt get to take photos.

After watching movie in a lazy boy couch for two pax and experiencing the complimentary foot massage for 15 mins with complimentary cake and drinks

Try to visit Siam Underwater World and Kidzania

 for sure kids will enjoy the place.

After Siam, you can take the BTS train to Asoke and visit Terminal 21 Mall. Every floor has its theme (Rome, Tokyo, London, etc.)

Its a good place to take photos

After Terminal 21, look for the Citibank exit, walk to Soi Cowboy and Nana.

After Terminal 21 (Asoke Station) take another BTS to Thong Lo

From Thong Lo station, ride a cab to Seenspace (Mellow) 

The Sparkling Jelly Sake is a must try!!!!
