Bangkok Travel and Shopping Guide 2017

Bangkok is a very international tourist city. It also has a complete consumer shopping system and is also a distribution center for luxury goods in Asia. Every year, a large number of tourists come to visit and buy various products. kind of items, let me share with you the Bangkok travel and shopping guide in 2017.

Last month our company traveled to Thailand. After procrastinating for a long time, we finally put together a guide, please don’t hit me

September is already here, and I believe many people have already started planning for October. Many people go to Thailand for vacation and don’t think much about shopping, but in fact, the capital Bangkok is quite easy to visit.

To catch the thief, catch the king first, go shopping and find Central. The largest shopping district in Bangkok is in Siam (Siam Station). The large shopping malls near Siam include siamdiscovery, siamcenter, siam

paragon, and CentralWorld , ZEN, Isetan (Isetan), gaysornplaza, Centralembassy, ??etc.

For the shopping mall, I will pick a few representative ones:

Siamdiscovery

It is my favorite store to visit. It brings together a variety of internationally renowned designer brands, and the stores and decorations are quite stylish.

There are also some interesting Japanese stationery store lofts and home collection points upstairs, which are suitable for young and taste-seeking babies to check out.

Siamcenter

It can be said to be a shopping mall with the strongest local culture, focusing on keywords such as youth, creativity, and art.

On the first floor are all kinds of big-name sub-brands and brands loved by young people, suitable for babies who want to buy big-name brands but don’t have enough budget.

There is an entire floor upstairs filled with local designer brands. Thailand’s design style is more dreamy and exaggerated than everyday, but babies who like this style will definitely not be disappointed.

Perfumes and accessories are worth buying. Although many products are not practical, they are very novel.

EMBASSY

High-end positioning, mostly big brands, great shopping environment Comfortable.

When I went there, the mall was cooperating with KAWS to hold an exhibition. Fans who like KAWS must be very happy.

BOYY is a brand founded by a Thai designer who studied in New York. It became popular due to its frequent appearance outside the show. It has always been called the "King of Out of Stock" and is also out of stock in Thailand, but here Worth buying.

The shopping mall SIWILAI is also located in this shopping mall. It focuses on niche and high-quality lifestyles and also has a coffee shop.

In addition to Siam Station, Bangkok's main business district also has Asok Station, where there is the popular terminal 21. There is an Emquatier (Phrom

Phong Station) near 21, which has a lot of luxury goods. Being poor, I didn’t do much shopping.

Other shopping malls are similar, so I won’t explain them one by one

Cosmetics:

British drugstore boots can be found everywhere in Bangkok, including British and Thai ones. There are many local cosmetics and skin care products, such as Mistine’s mascara and powder, which have a good reputation.

The THANN perilla sunscreen that many people love to use is also from Thailand (THANN is a famous local fragrance brand, usually found in large shopping malls). Thai cosmetics are generally a bit heavy, so be careful when buying them.

L’Oreal and other products are indeed cheap in Thailand. People who come here for the first time usually buy some as gifts. By the way, the famous Thai blackhead remover on the Internet is not available in drug stores. If you ask the store clerk, they will look disgusted

If you want to buy big-name cosmetics, you can go to duty-free shops. The large duty-free shop in Thailand is called Kingpower, which is not much cheaper, but some popular colors are not out of stock there. Our baby bought Laoduo perfume at the airport duty-free shop, which feels like it will last a lifetime

Eat:

The first place to buy snacks in Thailand is the 7-11 convenience store, which is very popular locally. Sausages, yogurt, soy milk, etc. are all worth trying, and Xiaobo’s thick seaweed is simply addictive. I have recommended Brand’s ready-to-eat bird’s nests in convenience stores before. They are not expensive and are suitable for girls.

Snacks and fruits can also be purchased at BIGC, a large supermarket. BIGC is like Carrefour Wal-Mart, and there is one opposite Centralworld.

Thailand’s night markets are super delicious, with fresh fruits, seafood barbecues, crazy snacks, and everything. The prices are cheap. It’s not a dream to return to the hotel weighing ten pounds after eating! If you like spicy food, my favorite is green papaya salad. , this time I found that coconut ice cream is also delicious!

There are also many famous restaurants in the shopping mall, such as Jianxing Restaurant, NARA, etc. I think NARA is more delicious

It is most convenient to buy hotels near the shopping mall. I stayed at the Indigo Hotel this time. It's much cheaper than in China, only over 600 per night, with nice scenery and convenient transportation.

Bangkok’s tourism industry is very developed and there are many hotel options and features. It’s easy to decide according to your needs.

Transportation:

It is very convenient to travel in Bangkok by taking the BTS (Light Rail), but the rest is hard to describe. I think the current folk customs in Bangkok are not as good as before, especially when taxi drivers refuse to take passengers. It’s getting worse. The prices are sky-high, and tuk-tuks (electric tricycles) have to be negotiated for a long time

It’s best to ask the hotel doorman to help you take a taxi. The rejection rate will be lower. Be sure to ask the driver to dial the meter and say " bymeter" otherwise you will be tricked into crying.

Attractions:

If you want to see Buddha statues in temples, Bangkok’s Grand Palace and Wat Pho are all worth a visit. The temples in Thailand are very beautiful with glittering gold and are suitable for taking pictures, but they are a bit too sunny. You should also pay attention to your dress when you go there. If you are too casual, no pants, vests or slippers are allowed in.

The floating market is also famous for many tourists, especially because Chinatown Detective has become popular. There is more than one local floating market in Bangkok, but to be honest, the floating market is a local custom, don’t expect too much, it feels a bit like a smelly ditch

There are many local flower markets in Bangkok, and the photos are quite beautiful. It’s just average for fun

There are also some popular attractions such as Khao San Road Bar Street, but I’ve been living in Khao San Road all my life. It’s very dirty and messy. I feel like the street is full of hookers, so I refuse

In short, popular attractions may not all meet expectations. Before going there, be sure to read reviews on different platforms to have a more complete understanding

Krabi:

Come When visiting Thailand, you must go to an island to have fun. This time I chose Krabi, which has been very hot in recent years.

Krabi was developed relatively late, and its customs and customs are relatively natural. However, the disadvantage is that there are not many places to play. If you are willing and able, you can try a motorcycle tour around the island.

The hotel we stayed in in Krabi is called Pimalai Resort. The hotel is on the island. It takes two hours to get there from the airport, and the road is crazy.

Fortunately, the hotel's scenery and facilities are very good. You can soak in the swimming pool in the morning, enjoy the sunset in the evening, and spend the rest of the time in the spa, eating fruits and lying down
