A holiday in Bangkok in a large group

I can't believe it I keep going back to the same destination in phases, and this time again in July a trip back to Bangkok with a large group of 5 adults and 2 kids. I was a little concerned about walking for the kids, given the stairs one would have to climb when taking the BTS (subway). However after this trip I realize it is indeed possible for families with young children to travel to Bangkok, the only thing would be that one would need to travel around at a much slower pace.

As we were looking for an service apartment that could house 5 adults and 2 kids in a 3 bedroom apartment, we could only get the Somerset Lakepoint which had such a set up.

Bangkok a shopping, eating and massage paradise

I recently returned to Bangkok, Thailand after a 4 year break. This time it was mostly a shopping trip with the gals. And where would the best shopping be? Of course, it's none other than at Platinum Fashion Mall. You could easily get a dress from between 360B to 460B and that is without bargaining. Their fashion is now much more updated than it was 3 years ago, following the trends of Hong Kong and Korean styles. Sizes tend to be small, fitting those size 4 to 10 perfectly. There are still clothes for the larger size, but limited. Levels 4 and below are all the clothes, and Level 5 of Platinum Fashion Mall has been transformed to an accessory floor. Recently they expanded with a new wing, just next door, and Levels 4 and 5 of the new wing is filled with shoes like flats, platforms, heels, boots of every conceivable color and style. A friend of mine who is really into shoes had such a wonderful time shopping!
