I've gone crazy shopping at naraya. So cheap & nice quality! Bought 10 bags

First time going to BKK with family of mine, total 7 of us for 5 days trip. Would like to stay nearby Pratunam Market or Platinum Mall. Budget ~ RM100 to RM150 only. Any recommended hotel?
Wondering where can hire a one day tour driver to bring us around. Can anyone advise me on this?

Try Blutique Hotel in Pratunam Market, all street food just outside hotel, a min walk to Baiyoke Sky. Also walking distance to Platinum. It's a fairly new hotel, I stayed there for 4 night this July. Hotel staffs very friendly and helpful.
