I m in Bangkok now staying in Best Western Plus Hotel @ sukhimvit soi 20. The room is new and nice @ rm 380 for two night thru Agoda. Still thinking if to try out another hotel for remaining two days . Any nice recommendation?

Yup I m still in Bangkok n just move from best western plus soi 20 to best western soi 13 sukhimvit. Both nice. So far the best meals is shabu shabu Japanese buffet at 6th floor MBK really cheap only 315++ b for 1 1/4 hour of non stop eating. Now there is an asiatic river front shopping bazaar replacing the previous Suam lum n located not to far for saphan taksim bts. N free shutter boat is provided to bring u there. And Nataya begs are just too cheap n u can go central to buy. Basically Bangkok to me is relax walk eat shop !

nice try their Japanese buffet nice n cheap

AKA also not bad.

AKA is Japanese buffet with both grill n steamboat . I had it at Central Pinklao.

The new bazaar is called asiatic . You can take bts to saphan taksin . The boat terminal where u can take free shutter boat to go there. If u hv nothing to do at night it is worth going.

If go bangkok try stay at hotel rm 150 above, dont stay those rm50 one. You will regret as hotel even though u only sleep at night form big part of your travel experience lo.

Going first week of july. Should spend more time in hua hin away from the capital.
