Shoping paradise

The great thing about any large city is you an find and buy just about anything. Bangkok is no different, but it has that special Asian and Thai style you can find nowhere else. Of course you have to know where to go:
Markets are plentiful and most areas of Bangkok have stalls selling all types of clothes and souvenirs. On the streets, you have to haggle for everything and have to make it fun as well. Chatuchak or weekend market is just exceptional and always worth the visit if you're in town on Sat/Suns.
Siam Square has hundreds of shops mostly for the young, and you can spot the local styles easily, it is sandwiched between the biggest malls in Bangkok, namely Siam Paragon (newest and great for good quality Thai gifts, plus all the big designer names), Siam Centre & Siam Discovery (which have a range of medium sized shops with bargains) and MBK which caters more for locals an is excellent for electronics, mobile phones and souvenirs.

Sales in shopping malls are not restricted to any particular times, so there are always bargains, but watch out it is deceiving when things are cheap, you can end up buying twice as much.

I should also mention that gems and jewellery are very good quality, but there are scams and fakes so beware. Actually, if you want any jewellery, we (Image Limousine) can reccomend or take you to shops which are regulated and have 100% genuine articles (ISO Certified) - don't take the risk.

There are of course dozens of other malls and markets all over the city. The wonderful thing about Bangkok, you will most often stumble upon something quite amazing in the oddest of places. Shopping in Bangkok is fun and cheap if you know where to go. Discover and have fun!
