The last time I was there was more than thirty years ago when my youngest sister and I went on a commercial tour. Our hotel was a very nice and comfortable one.
Now I know why young people make weekend trips to Bangkok for shopping. It is a shopping paradise!! No one bats an eyelid when young ladies pull big suitcases along with them as they go shopping.
All the shopping that we wanted to do was below the hotel where we stayed!! There were six floors of shopping! Hundreds of small shops sell all kinds of things ranging from bags, shoes, clothing, food and accessories.
The prices were unbelievable!! Everything was very cheap and we had a tough time selecting from the hundreds of choices available. However, the only drawback was that you couldn’t try on the clothes.
Thai food is exotic and spicy! We ate at different restaurants that were within walking distance of our hotel. We tasted dishes that are not available in the Thai restaurants in Malaysia.
Street stalls offered different kinds of food, even roasted crocodile meat!
I wouldn’t mind another weekend trip there for the food and the shopping.
