  • In Bangkok shopping is heaven, you got money? then lets shop!!! You can shop everywhere, Chatuchak is the weekend market. There you can find cheap any kind of things! MBK Center is a cheap kind of mall situated in the heart of Bangkok(try to stop at the National Stadium Station-BTS) there you will find everything are 199 baht, amazing place full of tourists and everybody are just shoppin' around. They also have The World Trade Center(Duty free is in here) next to it is the Isetann( Japanese Style of Store), if you like a mall where you can sit around you can go to the Discovery Siam Center. You can also check the Siam Square and Siam Center. The Emporium(Phrom Phong Stn.) is a great shopping area, not too crowded and the place is for branded things compare to MBK. And the other one is The CENTRAL DEPARTMENT Store.

    What To Buy: Souveniers!!! Silver rains everywhere and Thai Silk!

    What To Pay: you can buy the least @ $1.
