Day 2: Bangkok Trip 2016

Good morning from Bangkok!

Our breakfast buffet was not the usual heavy menu. Food served were mostly salads, bread and cereal. Fried rice, vegetable noodles and eggs were the only legit breakfast from the menu to me.

Anyway, as I've said on my previous post, our Bangkok trip will be mostly be about shopping and lots of food trip. So for our first agenda for the day, we went to Terminal 21 to go window shopping and explore the mall's unique interior design. Each floor represents a different country and is designed accordingly.

Unlimited BTS ride for a day.


To get to Terminal 21, board the National Stadium and alight at Asok then take the exit towards Terminal 21.

Here are our pictures:

We basically just toured around the mall and took pictures. We were saving our budget for the wholesale shopping at Pratunam which was our next stop for the day.


From Asok (E4), we boarded the skytrain to Mo Chit and alighted at Ratchathewi (N1) and took the exit to Pratunam. Going to Pratunam was a 10-15 minute walk from the BTS exit. You just need to keep walking until you reach the Platinum Shopping Mall. Right infront of the mall is Pratunam (which we didn't know yet until we got home and searched the Internet).

The Platinum Shopping Mall also sells items in wholesale and gives you a wide variety of the latest fashion style and clothing. If you want a cheaper  and wholesale price, you can go to Pratunam instead which is located just across the street.

We spent the remainder of the day at Platinum Shopping Mall to shop for just anything. Tired from all the shopping, we went home early to get some rest.

At night, we went to the flea market right beside the MBK center where we discovered food stalls that sells affordable Thai food.  Food costs ranged from 10 - 50 baht. We found out that this is where most of the foreigners dine.

Before we called it a night, Arian and I went for a massage at Kaseman Thai Massage located just across Wendy House. The Thai massage was good for one hour for only 300 baht. It was rejuvenating and I would say that it's another must try when in BKK.

Up next, more shopping at Pratunam.
