bangkok 4D3N shopping trip-Day 1

First of all, I would like to express my appreciation to Ginie that lead us to so many nice place throughout the whole trip.We've got very good bargain on flight+hotel by Air Asia for our quite last minute booking, approximately RM680/pax.

We stayed at the Baiyoke Boutique Hotel this time.It is just right beside the tallest hotel of Bangkok-Baiyoke Sky. If you're a shopping enthusiast like me and would like to get a good bargain on hotel, Baiyoke Boutique definitely suits you the best.Pratinum market is just a few steps away from your doorstep.Platinum Fashion Mall (wholesale) is on walking distance.Of course,don't expect too much other than a cozy sleeping place. You get what you pay!If you have more budget,there're many luxury boutique rooms out there in Bangkok.

Me and ginie took the double bed room.

Day 1:
Landed in Bangkok International Airport around 2.30pm local time.God damn it took about an hour to get out of the custom!They're not efficient at all!We took the express train from Airport to the hotel.It only costs about 42baht each person,if not mistaken.

Right after we unload our bagage,we headed to the platinum wholesale mall immediately.It is strongly recommended that you shop at Platinum before any shopping mall else 'cos you just don't feel like buying anything afterwards due to the price difference.Unfortunately, the mall closes at 7pm daily,very much earlier than our expectation =(

Next, we head to Suan Lom night market.Another unfortunate incident happened here.This night market has been officially closed.Thus, we head to Silom to look for some food.After dinner,we walk around until we reach the next street-Pat Pong, one of the red light district in Bangkok.It is dangerous to be on the street, honestly.They just sell their "show" everywhere on the street.So safety reasons, we went back to hotel very early that night.
