First time bangkok advice pls

[darkgod123]

Hi guys I am intending to go bkk with gf ( though i wish i can go myself 555) in first week of JAN, can anyone recommend a good place to stay and great places to shop without chop ? where are the nice night markets like hongkong ladies street kind?

probably 3d2n or 4d3n to accomodate the tailoring.

Intending to tailor a nice suit there too as im reaching the age whereby wedding rockets come to me already.

I think the choices are quite overwhelming, BKK is building shopping centers at a more ridiculous rate than Singapore.

Maybe just choose an accommodation near a BTS station, maybe Chitlom.

For night markets, you can check out the article below..

haha normally if going with elderly people, is better to stay hotel near mall
for example:
arnoma: beside big c
grand diamond / novotel platinum : beside platinum mall
grand mercure fortune: opposite central plaza

maybe u can bring them to chinatown to eat restaurants there lol
not sure ...
normally would bring my parents to shopping mall to walk
then to some pasar malam ...

Chinatown morning got more things to see like Sampeng lane, etc. At night people go there eat zichar at T&K etc

You can eat bird nest there too.
