Today I spent the day wandering about Siam Square. Siam Square is a really nice shopping area. The malls, Discovery Siam and Siam Paragon are super high-end. Fun to walk around to look at all of the latest trends here from concepts stores and furniture, clothes, of course, and cars...BMW is on the 3rd floor... "Honey, I just need to run to the mall to pick up a couple of shirts and a Beamer. Be right back."
People are super friendly and want to practice speaking English with you. Oh and tell you where some great deals are to be found. One woman in her 40s came up to me to chat because she's been learning English... oh and to tell me where I could get a great deal on jewelry! She was very sweet and pointed out a few places on the map. Of course all of the deals are only for today and the stores close at 4pm. Haha!
It's nice to just wander about. Yesterday I went to MBK which is a cheaper mall with floors upon floors of what seems like just cell phone stores. I've never seen so many in one place! A lot of the malls here are 4 or 5 stories. It seems crazy.
Tomorrow I'm off to Hanoi. Tickets booked, Visa acquired and hotel pending.
More soon... with pictures hopefully!

Sounds like you're off to a great start! Bangkok is such a funny name too. I guess shopping is universal. Hong Kong is like that times 10.
