Chinatown

Chinatown
Since the first time i visiting Bangkok, Chinatown is on my wishing list to visit. But I found out so far and so troublesome to visit that place. So at last, I have to cancel my visit to Chinatown. Finally, I found out we actually can visit that place by using public transport. (details at bottom of the post)

The reason why I must visit Chinatown as they are famous with those super duper cheap accessories. And yes! They do super duper cheap but in wholesale quantities (10 pieces and above) So I do enjoy shopping accessories in Chinatown such as earings, hairbands, rings and so on. Besides, you also can find toys, children stuffs and handbags in Chinatown.

Seafoods
I strongly recommend to visit Chinatown if you really want to shop in bundle or huge quantities. Because like this you can only get cheaper prices. If you plan to start your small online business, you may find your inventories in Chinatown. But Chinatown is quite complicated and so pack with peoples. We been searching in Chinatown for about half hours only we able to find the exact market to shop as that whole area is Chinatown and you wouldn't get any helpful directions from local people.

The entrance to market
You can reach Chinatown by using public transport BTS and MRT. But their system is slightly different from Malaysia, you only tap once and can exchange from MRT to LRT. But in Bangkok, you cannot do so. You have to tap out if you want to exchange from BTS and MRT. I will explain the road from where I start. At Siam, used National Stadium BTS line and take to Sala Daeng station. Than exchange to MRT Si-Lom station (is a long way from BTS and MRT, you may follow the crowd) to reach last station Hua-Lamphong station. When you reach you may follow the direction board (which direct you the correct exit way) and take taxi. It only cost about 150baht (if traffic jam).

Terminal21

Terminal21

Terminal21 is a 9 stories shopping mall which classified to different theme such as Tokyo, Istanbul, London and so on. It is located at Sukhumvit Road which you can reach by BTS.

Terminal21 is huge and each level have different theme according to country. Each level design according to that specific country especially their toilets. LOL. But I can said their design really attractive and will definitely fill up your memory cards.

Besides, I found out a super huge food court located on 5th floor. You can also found out so many restaurants, Japanese, Korean, Thai food and so on. So you wouldn't starving to find foods but you will take time to choose which restaurant to have your meal.
Terminal21 - Tokyo Street
Terminal21 mostly selling branded stuffs such as Nike, Adidas and so on. Women fashion located on 1st floor (Tokyo) and for men fashion is located on 2nd floor (London). Besides, Terminal21 also selling those local designer brand which I found out quite attractive.

I will introduce a nice restaurant in Terminal21 on my future post.
