massage ..massage...and more massage!

[Ken_au]

Oh.. But cant leh.. Goin with gf.. She confirm wanna shop and shop and shop.. Is there really so much to shop there?

[Celicapimp]

After long day of shopping should indulge in massage mah! go bangkok never try their massage then is most of Bangkok stuff also can find in singapore what, except it's cheaper there.

 

If u are buddhist then also must go see the famous 4 face buddha.Some go visit the White dragon which is very famous among HK celebrities and businessmen.

stay at this hotel Arnoma or any other hotels at suhkumvit areas (not sure spell correct or not).. a good location in you want to shop and shop.. quite near to MBK(15 mins walk)

 

Generally their people are very shy and will not anyhow approach other people. So be aware if anyone approach you..

When take taxi, ask them to use meters.. Their meters jump slower than singapore meters..

Bro,

 

Ask the taxi driver to bring you to Poseidon @ Rachadhaphisek Rd for massage. Beri good one

[Hoppe]

Poseidon no good lah.

Go Nataree....better

 

Anyway, avoid tuk tuks. Getting really expensive these days. One bugger wanted to even charge me Baht200 for a ride.

What the heck.

 

BTW, he didn't know that I go to Bangkok at least once every month...

 

Taxi needs to ask meter ride.

stay at armani watergate....opp is the platinium shopping centre

that place will make ur gf crazy...

cos after a few hours of shopping there...the next thing u would wanna go is to put ur stuffs in the hotel before proceeding to the next stop...

 

at the basement, there is this shop selling crepe....

a kind of thin crispy waffle (used to be popular in sg at bugis junction B1) for about 30 baht each depending on the ingredients

try it...expect to Q up though but their serving speed is very fast....

stop by at pantip centre (also near platinum) for the local SLS visit.

Get softwares, etc.

 

Stuffs are also cheap (shoes, clothes) at Pratunam centre. Also nearby...

 

Other places...Siam Square near MBK lah...Try their bubble tea there. Quite good.
