I've been there last weekend 

Bangkok is really the shopping place! We stayed in Windsor Suites Hotel in Sukhumvit. Okay yung hotel, not that expensive pero sobrang okay yung room. Wala nga lang breakfast pero carry lang, kasi pwede ka naman bumili outside. Every place is so accessible dahil sa mga trains nila, hindi masikip and with just a map you can go anywhere. Nagpunta kami sa Grand Palace, yun lang yung pinuntahan namin na tourist spot. Puro shopping halos nagawa namin.  We went to different malls like MBK, Central world, Siam paragon, Siam square, Terminal 21 and Platinum. Then pinuntahan din namin yung Asiatique, para siyang Tiendesitas tapos mura din yung mga clothes, bags and shoes. May malaking ferris wheel din dun tapos dami restaurants para tambayan. Pero the best place to go shopping is Chatuchak weekend market! Bagsak talaga yung price ng mga clothes, bags and shoes. Kung marunong pa kayong tumawad, better ako kasi hindi hahaha!  I'll really come back in Bangkok soon, I had a fun weekend there! Shopping!

Just arrived from BKK too last Monday.

I didnt do too much shopping but instead I have a nice 2 days tour for my photography hobby.
Yup solo flight while waiting to meet with my daughter. I booked a photography tour and I am so happy
with the places I was brought in by my personal tour guide.

I'd definitely go back again. =)

OK kaya sa FX Makkasan it's very near airport link/MRT. Yun lang naman talaga habol namin. Another option is Inn Saladaeng in Silom. Very near MRT din and plus point is may breakfast and free snack all day

kung tatanungin ka, just tell them the truth. kung may IT ka naman at hingin nila, i dont dapat magkaproblema. Ako nung unang punta ko noong nov, walang tanong tanong. Nung 2nd trip ko nung april, puro personal question and obviously the IO was hitting on me. So i just played it cool.

[leelou]

^ thanks sis! yey! 

[shayan30]

^^ah ok sis.. yep may IT at hotel bookings naman kami.. thanks

[greenpease05]

An easy answer would be "I'm enjoying your country so much so I keep coming back". =))

Mind you some IO are flirts! hahaha! Based on experience on my last trip
 gusto pa IO na tawagan ko daw siya pagbalik ko ng BKK. hahahahhaa!

[kenoy]

thank you sis i_v_y and sis yby2476 has anyone gone pai?

[kittycat228]

Ok ba ang weather in bangkok for shopping and sightseeing during november?

[supladitang cute]

I've been to Bangkok last 2009 pa. I forgot the things to remember that I jot down before. Which taxi color to take yung government?  I'll be travelling for 5 days but work yung 3 days. Anyone who has been to tiger temple? ANo pa ba bagong puntahan sa bangkok aside from shopping? I've been to the temples and ayutthaya last time plus of course the malls. Plan to go to tiger temple now. Pa-advise naman po sa mga queries kasi no time to back read. Thanks.

[i_v_y]

thank you sis i_v_y and sis yby2476 has anyone gone pai?

I have been to Pai. For me, nothing special. I realized why other backpackers were raving about this kasi walang ganung place sa country nila. For us Pinoys, normal lang, mountains and river. Siguro it is because it is called hippie village at laid back and town, that makes it extra ordinary to travelers.

It is a 3-4 hour ride from Chiang Mai at curvy yung roads, around 700 plus curves.

Anyone here who bought gem jewelry at bangkok? 

Where kaya ang mura and authentic?  TIA.

Scary coz dami ko nabasa na gem scams. 

[greenpease05]

Mga sisters try going to Choco ville Parang wala kayo sa BKK. =)) It's best to dine there and do photo ops. =)
