Latest Bangkok hotel reviews

One of the best things I did in Thailand was order custom suits, shirts and coats. When I moved from California to Philadelphia, I needed a new wardrobe to fit the more conservative East Coast (and help me during the cold winters). While in Bangkok, I visited many tailor shops, but found the best ones (both in price and quality) to be away from the touristy areas. My two favorite tailors were located in luxury hotels, but surprisingly, had better prices and quality, as the hotels subsidize the business to keep their guests happy. My two favorite shops were Savile Row Custom Tailors (www.savilerowcustomtailors.com) and Tailor Pro (www.tailorpros.com). Both had an incredible selection of fabric, friendly sales people, and clothing at nearly 1/8 the prices in the US!

Jewelry Shops are part of a tour we got from the airport costing 500B good for 6 persons. Tour includes van transfer, 3 temple visits (Wat Traimit, Wat Benchamabophit & Wat Pho), 2 jewelry shops & a James Fashion Tailor). Lasting for half day, not bad considering the cost.
We just take a look around the jewelry shops. No pressure to buy. Offered us a drink. Quite pricey but nice quality items.

I would recommend that while you wander around Bangkok, stopping by at just about any market you come across. You never know what you might see or experience. From fruits you never heard of, to amulets or other unique souvenirs, to interesting displays of meats and etc. You never know what you may see!

I went there because I decided to buy a cell/mobile phone. Public phones aren't very reliable and a little tricky to use and I had contacts in Thailand.
There are countless mobile phone vendors on the 4th floor. Bargain for a good price with a SIM card included. I got one (secondhand but functional) for 700 baht, SIM card included, at 1 baht/min. 24 hours a day. Came with charger.
Also bargained for digital wrist watch. But the alarm function doesn't work.
Also lots of fake/knockoff? electronics like ipods, mp3 players. Food cooked fresh, unlike typical American fast food> But there is McDonald's and the like.
Clothes are not cheap, comparable to American prices. For example, a nice dress was $70.
There are many levels with tons of stores if you're into shopping. Very modern, with TV's all around and tons of people.
You can get to it by bus#15 from Kao San Road area. The SkyTrain also passes next to it.
