Friends who like department stores in shopping malls must go to ChidLom business circle, which is mainly divided into Central.
World Plaza and Siam Plaza are two famous shopping centers. The long overpass is connected, so you don't have to bask in the sun, cross the road, or suck the tail gas. Your conscience is at home!
Bottom line: the city is super convenient, walking on two legs for one day.
Central world
Transportation: get off at ChitLom Station of BTS.
A row of buildings are all CentralWorld, which is divided into three parts. In the middle is the CentralWorld ontology, and at both ends are Zen Department Store and Isetan Department Store. central
Most of the world are specialty stores with many brands, and there are also many restaurants and brand stores among online celebrities. ZEN is an open shop with both imported and local brands, and the price is moderate. Isetan is more advanced.
Nara, a Thai restaurant in Internet celebrities, is on the fifth floor. But! I think the cost performance is not high, and the taste is generally high. I recommend Qom on the same floor.
Poon, it tastes better! The service in Binet.Alfred is also good ~ This store is easy to find, the decoration of the forest department is very stylish, many trees are planted in the store, and the environment is also very fond of it!
There are also Imperial Duty Free Shop, local bag brand NARAYA, and Thai aromatherapy ace THANN. Everyone wants to go to Thailand. It can be said that all cards here can punch in.
There are often some theme fairs in front of shopping malls. It is not bad to buy some drinks and food, but other little things are not worth it.
Main recommendations:
THANN is Thailand's top pure natural skin care and SPA brand, and her perilla series has a good reputation. Sunscreen, facial mask and water can be bought or stored.
Siam Square
Transportation: You can start from centralworld, and you can walk there directly after the overpass is connected, which takes 5- 10 minutes. You can also get off at BTSsiam station directly.
Siam here mainly includes SiamParagon, SiamCenter and SiamDiscovery.
Department stores, such as Paragon, are dominated by high-end lifestyles, ranging from luxury goods on the first floor to bookstores, cinemas and digital appliances. Upstairs, and on the second floor underground, there is a huge aquarium, which is Siam.
OceanWorld), which is said to hold 20,000 people, also has various performances and interactions. I had a good time with my parents ~
Paragon's dining can be settled in the food court on the downstairs 1 floor. There are many dishes and the taste is ok. You need to recharge your card at the counter! It's just right to see the sea world after dinner ~
SiamCenter and SiamDiscovery, which feel younger, are worth exploring.
Terminal 2 1
If you think Siam and Central
The world is biased towards brands and high-end, so it will be younger, more popular and the architectural style will be more fun! A 9-story building, each floor is decorated with Caribbean coast, Rome, Paris, Tokyo, London, Istanbul, San Francisco and Chinatown. Each floor corresponds to a specialty store that represents local style decoration. One store after another can be full of amoy, and the price is really not expensive. 300B A sweater coat almost like 60 yuan, and a T-shirt with a price of 100 can be found here.
In a word: delicious, fun and easy to buy.
Main recommendations:
After the elevator entrance on the Tokyo floor
In your dessert shop, cotton-padded ice is really delicious! Very waxy and chewy, yes, as chewy as a smoothie. The ice is very thin and tastes amazing! There are more mysteries in this, and there is a lot of information. If it tastes good, I like the taste of Thai milk tea ~ Note: There are too many people to queue up, but it is worthwhile to queue up for this taste!
Convenience store supermarket goods
BigC
Transportation: Across the road from the Central World, you can go shopping together!
All convenience stores in Bangkok, the whole family and 7- 1 1 can visit hahaha, and there is another convenience store in Bangkok just two steps away, so it won't starve to death at night. Of course, if you want to buy food in one breath, you must go to Big.
C. How to describe its popularity? You can get a cardboard box opposite the checkout counter to pack it for you, and there is a Tong Yuan express service to send it home directly. Many people are packing crazily, and the sound of tearing tape keeps breaking out.
Main recommendations:
Small boss laver, Dongyingong Gewei Gaoli, Dongyingong instant noodles, instant squid, big brother peanut beans, all kinds of dried durian.
There are all kinds of packaging, buy as needed. There are also a large number of boxes sent back to family and friends by express delivery, which really takes up luggage space.
boots
Transportation: It can be seen everywhere. You don't have to look for it. Go in when you see it. Ha ha.
In addition to the Imperial Duty Free Shop, Boots is also a good place to buy beauty cosmetics in Bangkok. Like Watsons, it has everything. I will sweep it every time I come, and it is also very affordable to send my friends ~
Main recommendations:
Mistine, Thai local makeupNO. 1 His 3D eyebrow pencil and powder cake are all good.
Bananaboat banana boat, sunscreen spray, there are three kinds. The aloe vera I bought is light and not greasy, and it is a large bottle, which is more useful for my friends who are going to the island next.
I bought a small bottle of mosquito repellent, as long as it is enough.
Green grass cream, similar to mint cream, is quite popular in Japan and has similar effect, so I didn't buy it. It is more versatile and can relieve headache, stuffy nose and itching. If you can think of the use of mint cream, that's fine.
Snake oil cream, bought for my family to relieve muscle soreness, is not used much, and the effect is hard to say, but I bought it for the sake of snake oil's status in Thailand.
Your own cucumber series, mask cream can be used, delicious, fresh and cheap! A bottle of about 20 RMB, when the body lotion feels good ~ you can consider it if you can't choose a gift.
Market articles are all over the weekend market.
This is the largest market in Asia, covering an area of about 14 hectare, with more than 5000 shops/kloc-0, with a flow of over 200,000 people. It is only open on weekends, and only some shops are open on weekdays. Although everyone says it's a small commodity market, it's crowded around in the crowd, but I came across a small shop I like and I can watch it for a long time. Mainly divided into several types:
1) clothing bag
Even if it is cheap, you can't expect good quality. You can set a local example by casually wearing dozens of T-shirts. Canvas bags and A goods are everywhere. This year, I bought a canvas bag for my husband, with special prints on it, which have never been seen in other stores. Price 100B, about 20 RMB.
2) Small commodities
All kinds of gadgets with Thai characteristics, special-shaped soap with sunflower and fruit shapes, wooden tableware and so on are quite interesting. Last time I was here, I also found a marcasite bracelet, which has a good style. I brought it to the present, and the price is more than 200 RMB.
3) Aromatherapy
In addition to the big names in the mall, you can also look at them here. Essential oils and scented lamps are good.
4) Works of art
This is truth and art! Many painters and artists will show their works here, including oil paintings and sculptures. , you can purchase and deliver directly. But there is no place to hang at home.
It's like watching a small art exhibition
5) It is said that there is a "flower and bird market" further inside. For example, I didn't check the thumb monkey because my leg was about to break, so I told my friend directly.
He Bin night market
Transportation: You can take a taxi directly and tell others that the drivers of AsiatiqueTheRiverfront know it. Every day at 5pm, Saphan will also provide free shuttle service by barge.
Taksin station picks up tourists.
It was converted from the old wharf warehouse. Compared with the traditional night market, it is a mature business model and the environment is much cleaner. There are all kinds of food, handicrafts and clothes here. The shop is divided into different areas, so you can bargain. Although it is a night market, the food here is not very recommended, but it can fill the stomach, but the price is slightly expensive and the characteristics are average.
Main recommendations:
The most touching thing is the iconic Ferris wheel. Sitting on it to see the night view of Bangkok and Chao Phraya River is also wonderful, but the speed is a little faster, and the circle will soon end.
The famous performances here are Muay Thai and shemale. The first time I came with my parents, my parents didn't dare to watch Muay Thai. They thought it was too cruel. This time, I decided to make up my homework with my husband. The performance of Muay Thai shows the feeling of stage play 1 hour and tells the historical evolution of Muay Thai. The plot is OK, the action is not as wonderful as China's kung fu, but the actors are very serious and hard-working. After the performance of the historical stage play, there will be two real people fighting, which is the real kung fu. The first time men and women fought, I was red all over, but I still didn't see any blood. Gentle? In the second female-female showdown, at round2, the blue side directly slammed KO, and the other side could not get up. It is also very handsome! If you can't take pictures of the performance, you won't let them go. )
About payment
Alipay's popularity is not bad Many department stores, boots, convenience stores and BigC can use Alipay, and there are often full reductions and red envelopes.
The penetration rate of UnionPay is also good, and there will be activities to compete with Alipay. When you don't know which one is cost-effective, you can ask the cashier directly (many people can speak Chinese)
I also withdraw cash directly from the local ATM, with a single handling fee of 12 yuan+1%, which is more favorable and convenient than the money exchange office. The first thing to do when the plane lands is to withdraw money.
Visa is not recommended, there is no advantage here, unless there are any special activities, which I haven't seen yet.
About tax refund:
With "VAT" logo.
"Tax Refund" Shopping malls or specialty stores can apply for tax refund when their consumption reaches a certain amount, and the minimum amount of tax refund consumption is about 2000B or 400 RMB. According to the needs of the staff, register the passport and other information at the cashier in the store, and a yellow form will be given on the spot to bind the cashier documents together. Money is refunded at the airport, so when you leave the country, take all your tax refund forms and receipts to the airport for unified handling.
Airport tax refund: before passing the security check, go to the customs tax refund point and stamp it! (Looking for VAT)
After the security check, go to the tax refund window to queue up, sign and get the money. It's convenient to have Chinese tips. But be careful to leave enough time for one month. The check-in speed in Thailand is really slow. If you suggest two people, all the tax refund information is in one person's passport. One person goes to apply for tax refund and stamp, and one person goes to check in and queue first. It took about 2 hours from the airport to boarding the plane, so I went to the duty-free shop for quick shopping ~
Does the customs have to look at the goods when the tax refund is made? Not necessarily, I haven't seen it yet, but it's really hard to say ~
