My frens and i went to Bangkok for the New Year Countdown. And of course, we took this opportunity to shop till we drop as well. I didn't know Platinium Mall was that nice to shop in on level 4. So if you're a guy and you love shopping, better pop yourself up at Platinium Mall at level 4 for some shopping frenzy. I spent at about S$800++ for this trip but hotel accommodation was taken care of, so that is one amount i could use and spend on. The exchange rate was pretty favourable to SIN dollars and hence, clothes there was damn cheap.. All in all, i bought about 10 over pieces of long sleeve shirts, pants and bermudas as well, on average, the shirts was about $10 dollars and it was that cheap!
Other than shopping and more shopping, we went on a tour on our 2nd day in Bangkok. Went to Maeklong Station Railway market near the Authentic Floating Market. You can see alot of foreigners there waiting to take a pix of the locals keeping their produces when the train is coming their way. It is very unique and i think this is the only one you can see here in Bangkok that keeps such tradition here. I must say it was a eye opener for me, seeing the owners keeping their produces and then bringing them out once the train leaves. And its not once a day, its a few times a day, i think it has become a routine for the locals here, that they didn't feel anything at all for now.
Next, we went over to the nearby floating market, this i've been already but since my other 2 frens have not been there, i followed them. All seems the same to me as before when i visited them a few years ago.
Find your local travel agents for the above tours, it really worth the money and you can't find this in Singapore as well!
