how to go to Big C huh?
supermarket?

 

[dede1217]

Will most likely stay around pratunam area, so you walk all the way down towards platinum mall, then you turn to the right and you will see centralworld infront.

When you reach centralworld, you will see BIG C Supermarket opposite of Centralworld, at the other road. When you walk down, you will see gaysorn and amarin plaza

5 - 8 pm (Big C, CentralWorld, Platinum Mall)

Yeah lah, can also lo
But mostly will go centralworld buy bags then wont walk on top those atas place haha. been there quite many times already before

shouldn't platinum mall and pratunam market be lumped together? since they are at the same place...
agree with dlrowehtleah that four-faced buddha together with big c and central world

do try to take the river taxi to bobae
very interesting ride and fastest way to get there
Bangkok Water Taxi (Canal Boat) | Khlong Saen Saeb Route - Fare - Operating Hours

as for chinatown, why not in the morning?
since you've been to bkk so many times, at least check out sampeng lane once...

personally, won't give so much time to asiatique
was there in sep last year, worse than suanlum
we spent 30 min there and left (including a hurried meal at MK)

 

[dede1217]

bobae market, how to go there via the boat?

i prefer d info @ wiki which lists down all d piers' names.

Khlong Saen Saeb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

- most ppl, tourists especially, will board @ Pratunam Pier which is pier #5.

- as there r 2 routes (eastward & westward), u ve 2 board @ d correct side of d canal. Ramkhamhaeng is in d east. bobae is in d west wrt pratunam pier.

- if my memory serves me right, boats nearer 2 BigC go 2 Ramkhamhaeng. d opp side goes 2 bobae. 2 confirm, just look @ those boats traveling 2wards d direction of central world/platinum plaza which is d direction 2 inner bkk (bobae & etc).

- juz a few words of caution. boats don't stop @ every pier, especially d small ones which r usually far fr d city center. most inner bkk piers r usually crowded, so they would stop. my pt is if u r @ pier #5 n want 2 go 2 pier#15 for eg, don ever think of counting 10 pier stops. it won't b accurate cos they might skip 1 or 2 piers along d way. make an effort 2 look @ d pier sign (but some only written in Thai) or ask ard.

good luck

Platinum closes quite early, usually by 6+ most shops will close

 

[limkopilimteh]

i think there is no way u can cover Chatuchak + Union + JJ mall in half a day. Unless u run thru outside the perimeter of the place... haha...

probably cut down the itenary by a bit to see which you would prefer instead of rushing around.

 

[Beno777]

Those ppl tat follow the above iti is not going bkk for shopping but for training of iron legs lol

for me i always skip JJ mall... just the CTC alone is enough to kill me already. I also skip the furniture n pets department but still can't finish walking from 9am to 3pm.

after CTC, sure shag out... if its me, i think no more energy to board plane...need to go back sleep.
