Platinum fashion shopping mall in BKK

I’ve got another shopping spot for you shopaholics!

I just had the chance to visit the Platinum Fashion Mall (once again) this past weekend, and i was very astounded with the varieties of clothes being sold there…all i can say is it was astronomical. The first time i went there there wasn’t much open because it was closing time. But this time, i went during daytime and the place was swarming with clothes everywhere.

I did go there with a mission though, so i did not go through every shop (that would take more than a day) and i was able to get a plain t-shirt with a v-shaped neck (the texture was very smooth and light) for 150baht each, which is just puny. i also got a short for just 250 baht but some shops also sell it at 300-500 baht, just depending on the design.

For the ladies, my friend got 3 different skirts, ranging at around 300-500 baht as well. The designs here are very very trendy and contemporary because the market for the buyers here are around the 15-30 or even 40 age because of the different selections available. Oh, and there are also a lot of nice jewelry shops, especially rings that are made uniquely and not sold because the sellers usually produce it themselves.

There’s a lot more products there, from shoes, bags, clothes (male & female) and just so much more i can’t take in, so go check it out! i got the info for this place from –> http://www.tourismthailand.org/7wonders/ in the ‘06 trends’ section, then click on the ’shopping’ section.

To get there, just take the BTS (skytrain) and either get off at chidlom, siam, or rachatevi station and walk or take a cab, whcih is very close by. This mall is right next to the Central World department store, so you can walk from there as well.

Enjoy shopping!

shop till u drop at Central Chidlom - BKK

Shopping and Thailand seems to always go hand in hand because of the varieties of locations, both indoors and outdoors. The one i'm gonna highlight to today is the famous indoor one. Central Chidlom, which is under the famous department store chain Central in Thailand is worth a glimpse.

Central Chidlom's located on Chidlom Road and is considered one of the upper-end department stores in Thailand. Accessibility is great because it's in the downtown area with the skytrain (BTS - CHILDOM STATION) connecting to the department store or taxis that all know where this place is.

The place is filled with brand names, thai products/handicrafts, houseware, etc. Also, the restaurants and food hall here is one of the highest rated in town in terms of food in teh department store. The "Food Loft" which is on the top floor of the building has countless restaurants that are lined up to serve you all teh type of food in the world. The place looks very trendy as well. From Indian to Mexican food, you can find it there, with theme foods on a monthly basis.

Eat, shop, shop till u drop!

Davinci's Place

Davinci the artist, Davinci the movie...both very awesome, but now, i found another davinci that is nice as well... Davinci Suites & Le Spa. This boutique hotel/apartment is very nice, especially int eh interior. It's located deep in the heart of Sukhumvit Road, in soi 31. It is located right behind the famous Italian restaurant, Bella Napoli and many other restaurants are around there so no worries that you'll run out of food.

Actually, the owner of this place owns a restaurant in Lang Suan named "Airplane" and he brings the chef over to cook at DaVinci as well.

I found this hotel from the http://www.tourismthailand.org/7wonders/ on the "Trends 06" section. There are also a lot other boutique hotels there so have a go.

There are two types of room, the Superior rooms and the Suite rooms. I stayed in the superior room and it is very nice, for the price, which is 1,500 Baht. The prices for these types of boutique hotels are very competitive so teh price here is considerably good in the range. And when i entered the room, i was very impressed, especially with the interior deco with the nice tree painting above the bed that lines up to the bed sheet of the bed, a very nice combination.

The service is also very good, with the very well trained receptionist and teh room service.

Altogether, i was very pleased with the price i paid which i felt i got more than what i paid for.

Enjoy!

For You Serviced Apartment

Another very well priced place to stay is up for grabs in Bangkok once again! I found this serviced apartment at: http://www.tourismthailand.org/thailandsuperdeal/

The place is called "For You" Service Apartment, located on the vibrant Ratchada Road. This service apartment is very unique, especially with its interior design and concept.

At first glance, it looks like a modern Japanese room, mostly wooden so you do get that very Asian/Japanese aura. The price of the place per night is 1,400 Baht, which is very reasonable for the location, and especially for what you get in your room.

Best part is the serviced apartment is very close by the subway system, the MRT (Huay Kwang Station) so you can get anywhere in town with the subway.

It's really worth a check out and if anyone does, don't forget to give us an update!

Enjoy!
