Shopping in BKK

terminal 21 is near which shopping area? or it is by it own?

it is a shopping mall by itself. at Asoke BTS station, same line color as chit lom BTS. the shops r not like platinum mall. it's like illuma but bigger scale.

clothes how ex at terminal 21? i put it behind so by the time go there, my gf shd alrdy stock up 1 closet of clothes alrdy lol

Terminal 21 will have nicer clothes which are mostly from their local designers. But the prices are also significantly higher. Like 400-500 baht for a top and 800 baht for a dress at least. Some people don't mind cheap stuff at platinum while some don't like too many to wear the same thing.

can consider Asiatique, Terminal 21 as others have said. for CTC honestly i haven't been at night because out of the 3 times i went, all times it seemed majority of the stores closed by 5/6pm?....

if you wanna cover all the shops in platinum you need 2 days or more! or if you're an efficient shopper like me then 1 day...

CTC can spend more than a day, it's HUGE.

pratunam market is open v early e.g. 8am so you can do that before platinum.

Asiatique is too far, dont think is worth to spend so long travelling there right ?

Another alternative to Platinum/Terminal 21 would be Union Mall, at Phanon Yothin MRT, 2 stations away from Kamphaeng (CTC), they also have fashionable clothes at reasonable prices... Got cinema/MK restaurants/cafes etc...

if your sole objective is to shop for cheap things then best you leave this out.
If you want to get exclusive things, or want to shop in a nice setting/atmosphere then you should check it out.

also things aren't that expensive. i bought some pouches, prices similar to CTC, only very slightly more ex than pratunam.
some stalls have exclusively designed stuff but you need to have a sharp eye...

ctc things aren't as cheap as saphan phut, pratunam or bobae... but of course the designs are different...

Platinum Mall
Central world
Big C supermarket
is enuff to cover first day right? or is there anything to throw in

Day 2
MBK
Siam Paragon
Siam Square
Advisable to throw in Floating market inside?
Ladyboy show/ Massage either of
Chocolate Ville for dinner
any more to add in?

Day 3
CTC in the morning
Chinatown at night
T&K for dinner
This able to cover the whole day?

Day 4
CTC (night) as i hear morning & night is different
what more can i do on a sunday?

where shd i slot in Saphan Phut Night Market & Major Ratchayothin Market

Why don't you keep to one post instead of 5.
You can't visit the Floating Market on Day 2. You will need at least half a day for it, and better on the Sunday.
