Lets start with the Pratunam Street markets, a renowned market place for garments and textiles, no matter what your size, fashion or budget, there is something for everyone. Next is MBK Shopping Centre, 8 floors of wall to wall shops ranging from clothes, mobile phones, furniture, souveniers and a sensational food court on the 5th floor. Make sure you purchase coupons first though as cash is not accepted at the individual food stands. The World Trade Centre is yet another shopping icon, here you have the Zen Department Store which has all fixed prices and high quality goods. In addition, there is an extensive range of individual specialty shops ranging from tailors, gems, artwork and restaurants.
For computer buffs you have Panthip Plaza. Here you can buy just about any hardware or software at a reasonable price.
Unfortunately, the traffic in Central Bangkok is a nightmare so make sure you allow plenty of time.
Indra Regent Hotel is a large hotel (439 rooms) with a newly renovated lobby.
The location is perfect for shoppting as the hotel is set amidst a 250 shop complex and only a short stroll to the Pratunam Street Markets. Panthip Plaza is another popular shopping complex located about 15 minutes walk from the Indra.
Perfect location right next door to MBK Shopping and adjacent to Siam Square which houses more shopping and the Hard Rock Café! This hotel has spacious and comfortable rooms with all the required amentities as well as a fun Salsa Latin Club.
This is certainly one of my personal favourites because it is close to serious shopping opportunities! MBK Shopping, Pratunam Street Markets, World Trade Centre and Panthip Plaza. The hotel also has spaciously well appointed rooms and Grappino, one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever dined at. If you are seeking some fun in the evening then Henry J Bean is a must, an all American style venue, good food, cold beers and great music.
Located in the heart of Bangkok city this excellent property has fabulous rooms and unmatched facilities. It is also located at the Erawan Shrine, famous for local Thais as well as overseas visitors who flock here daily to pay their respects. The hotel has a unique atrium which provides an interesting environment of tropical plants and trees and is a perfect spot to enjoy a traditional afternoon tea. If it is excitement and fun matched with superb Italian food then Spasso’s is a must.

However, the Grand Palace also has many other interesting things to look at. Check out the murals on the walls, and the Thai worshippers behind Wat Phra Kaew, this is one place that should not be missed. Once entering the temple, the visitor will feel as if they are in a real "city of angels".
The market has its own stop on the Sky Train, Mo Chit and is open from 7AM to 6PM every Saturday and Sunday.
