Edit on 11 July 2012 - This post is the most popular post for my blog. I hope everyone found it useful when they plan for their trip. If any question can ask at comment.
Today is the last full day I have in Bangkok. Must shop for whatever left that I need to bring home. So off to another important shopping location Platinum Fashion Mall. Some back ground about this mall, why everyone that come Bangkok now will include this location for shopping destination? Because it is a wholesale shopping mall. Even the seller from Jatujak get their wares from this mall. The principle of this mall is "One item, retail price. 3 item and above is wholesale price"
So if you can find a group of person to shop with you, you can get very good deal for all item you bought here.
Man Utd Scooter. I feel want to smash the glass and burn this scooter. ( I am MU HATER)
On the way to Platinum Fashion mall I spent some time to pray for "LOVE" at the shrine. Warning thou, there seems to be some suspicious guy that keep on promote this "Happy Buddha" and ask me to go pray at the buddha there. Keep say the buddha is only open once in a month and today is "the lucky day" it open. I feel very suspicious so make up a story that need to met my friend at Platinum Fashion Mall. Becareful of con artist.
While crossing the river, I see this billboard. X Japan concert in Bangkok on 8 Nov. WOW!!!!
Never know Bangkok have that many X Japan fans. Until they include this place for their world tour.
I notice a Taiwan girl also take the photo in front of me. I guess she will be blogging or facebooking about this too. XD
Wonder why I know she is from Taiwan?
Because she and her friends not sure how to go Platinum Fashion Mall. I ask them to follow me, since I am going the same place. Be friendly when you travel, and you will know more friends. (^___^)
Platinum Fashion Mall have 6 floor of shop and another condominium tower. At the 6th floor, there is a big food court that have many Thailand street food for sale. You can have your meal there as the sanitation is much better compare to the road side stall. Take note that the stall at food court do not accept cash. You need to go counter to purchase a card and then swipe the card at the stall to pay. The value of your card vary depend on how much you load the money in it. You get the balance refund when you return the card.
Some cute gift that I hope to bring home. But my wallet do not allow me do that. It is at 5th floor. So visit there if you want.
Shopping at Platinum Mall is much like Jatujak, anything you see and you feel like it, just buy it first. The shop location is like a maze. Very hard to come back later and purchase.
On the way back to Chit Lom BTS station, I stop at Big C to do some groceries purchase. Big C is similar to Carrefour or Tesco. So you can get your tomyam noodles, Tao Kae Noi seaweed, Pocky chocolate stick, those medicine for muscle ache etc here. Take note if you purchase more then 2000 bahts in a single receipt, you can get form for VATS return. But you need to bring along your passport.

Destination for the day : Platinum Fashion Mall and Big C
How to get there: Take BTS to Chit lom BTS station(The BTS station on the left of the map above), then walk towards direction of Central World Plaza but do not go in. You can easily get lost if you go into Central World Plaza. Walk on the roadside between Central World and Gaysorn. On the way near Central World, you will pass 2 shrine, one is for pray for Love. Also take note of the Big C that is opposite of Central World. Continue your journey for another 5 minute and you will cross the river. Once you cross it, turn left on the junction. Platinum Fashion Mall is near here.
Or just get the taxi to avoid walking too much.
