Bangkok is truly "the" shopping paradise. I personally attest to that. Bangkok is known for its very cheap bargains and its wide-selection markets. It's really the bargain-hunter's dream. Bangkok is a very busy place, and one of its areas which caught my attention is Pratunam. This is where the local vendors really sell hard. Many of the stores here sell in bundles and retails, for very low prices.
Pratunam is just near the World Trade Center, and it's surrounded by countless bazaars. I stayed at the Pratunam Hotel, which is a newly-built hotel. If you're looking for discount hotels, well then, this is it. I intend to
travel around beautiful Bangkok and not spend my days locked in the hotel. I went there to go around Thailand, to go on an extreme shopping trip, and to walk around the endless bazaar streets. I don't think that I need a luxurious hotel to stay in. If you're on an adventure holiday, and you know that you'll be spending your whole holiday trip outdoors, then don't bother booking into luxury hotels. Believe me, it's not worth your money if you can't really enjoy your hotel accommodations. There are other discount hotels around the
Pratunam area. There's the Best Bangkok House, the Century Park Hotel, the First Hotel, and the First House Hotel in Bangkok. These hotels aren't that bad; they're basic, clean, cozy and simple. You'll get to keep your
saved budget money and you'll get to spend it on your shopping instead!
