Hi all.
I am planning to go to Bangkok in July. The main purpose is to go shopping! We four ladies are planning to go to Platinum Mall, Central World Plaza, Pratunam Market and MBK..Basically pratunam area!
Any nice budget hotel to stay around? Budget from RM100 to RM140.
Was planning either
1) Baiyoke Boutique Hotel
2) First House Hotel
3) Grand Watergate Hotel

Which of these is the most strategic??

I don't see Siam Paragon in the list. Its like Pavilion KL of Bangkok

As u said like Pavilion...can see but kenot buy..lousy place actually..so just look see place..nothing interesting exce[t the aquarium & the food court

How Should I Start My Schedule

Any Tips.

How Should Allocate My Schedule To Different Place.

Master Stimix, Please Advice

Don't agree. It's true that, it's not an interesting place. Go there though. Make it a "AT LEAST I WENT THERE ONCE" thingie.

I know this is above what you have planned but if you ladies are hard-core shopper then do give it a thought. My suggestion is Pathumwan Princess which is part of MBK. It cost us about RM250 nett per room thru travel agent. We work out the savings on taxis and sky train can go towards a better room and mainly location. It is like shopping in mid-valley and staying in the Cititel upstairs. The convenience of able to sent shopping bags up to your room any time, shop the whole day, be the first shopper when the shop opens and shop till the shops close!
And not to mention all major shopping complexes are reachable via the sky walk.

WOW!RM250 is expensive! If you shop whole day, u hardly stay in the room or hotel. anyway different people has different preferences.Besides the places that they are heading to...they gonna take taxis. So it cost even more. If they were to stay any of the hotels that they have suggested, it is all within walking distance. MBK will be more expensive to shop compare to Pratunam & Platinum.

True...RM250 is very expensive!! I thought about First House Hotel as well but when I go to Sawadee.com to look at the reviews, it seems that there are more negative opinions than positive...issit really that bad?
Coz that hotel is quite strategic as all the shopping malls are just opposite and we can just walk over!
