Siam Square
by jrs1234
Siam Square is next door to Chulalongkorn University and is home to a number of language schools, so don't be surprised to see lots of students in this area. It's a semi-pedestrianised area with lots and lots of small shops, just over the road from the MBK and Siam Center shopping malls.
It's a bit hot in the daytime, but if you're looking for shops that are a little bit different to those in the malls, this could be the place to come. As well as lots of shops, there are cinemas and restaurants - including the Hard Rock Cafe on Soi 11.
It's all just south of the Siam (Central) Skytrain station, and if you want to stay here, there is a Novotel right on Siam Square Soi 6.
They RESPECT Monks a lot!
by Applelyn
You can see people greeting monks and even offering them seats on public transports. More than 90% of the population believe in Buddhism. There are about 10 000 temples in Thailand and 270 000 Sangha(monks). Monks are highly respected there as most of them doubled up as counsellors, teachers and even mediators.
Lightweight Clothes
by roamer61
Large enough bag for gift and souviners if going shopping. Bring lightweight clothing for Bangkoks hot and humid weather. Sandals for temple visits. You must remove them before entering places of worship. Bring insect repellent and sunscreen. You'll need both. Make sure you have plenty of film,memory and also bring spare batteries.
