Bangkok Day 2: Pratunam market + Platinum Mall + Big C & Central World

We planned this day 2 trip to Pratunam market, Platinum Fashion mall, Big C and Central World.
Pratunam market is located opposite to platinum mall, However when we went to Pratunam Market, there were not many shops open, but we still managed to buy some clothes there. we had to bargain in order to get a good price for the clothes, and especially if you bought more than two you can definitely get a discount.

Overall, we were surprised that the market that we went was just not the same as what we have watched in youtube but still get a good prices for the clothes that we bought at the market.

After two hours spent at pratunam market, we then headed to Platinum Fashion Mall. At the mall the overall price is quite pricey compared to the market that we went the next day, but you will still be able to buy clothes at around 100 - 200 THB. Overall all the good and nice clothes will cost you around THB 200- 400. and one more thing that you should do is try to go to the upper level at the first time you go to the mall as the price would be cheaper than the lower level. Also, Platinum fashion mall is divided into two building or wings. one building was way crowded and full of people, while there is one building you will find very few people. If you feel that the place you are going has few people around, you may try to go to the next building as there is bridge that will connect you to the wings (you will be able to see the difference).

Every floor of the building will have different categories of products on sales. However, you will find more of Ladies than Men's. Men's clothes is only at one floor max, it is definitely a heaven for ladies to go thee, and I managed to buy lots of clothes there.

After done with shopping, we went for lunch break at McDonald's in the mall. We tried the Samurai Pork Burger set meal, around THB 150. It is really nice, but there is no Lunch Value meal as like in Malaysia from 12 PM to 3 PM.
                                              
                                                Samurai Pork Burger super nice!!!

Afterwards we then went to BIG C supermarket (It is like Giant, Tesco, and Jusco In Malaysia). Here there are lot of snacks you could buy, i.e Seaweed, Pretz, Big C Brand snacks,Dried Mango,  Peanut. For Seaweed and Peanut you can find it in Malaysia but of course it  is more expensive in Malaysia.

                                                       Bought a lot!!!

Finally, we went to our last destination for the day, Central World, here we only go for Naraya Bag, and went for the Shibuya French Toast, A must for every one to try after a tiring day. The name for the cafe is "After You Dessert Cafe" you definitely have to queue first before you can get a seat, you will be given the queue number and once it reach you number you will be shown the seat table, but you would have to order it at the counter. Once you have made the payment you may wait at your seat table and they will serve your order.

                                               Big Naraya outlet in lower level of Central World

We ordered the "Nutella Toast" big portion for around THB 190 and it was a fair portion for both of us. We enjoyed our time at the cafe, and we were able to relax after a whole day of walking.


                                                           Q and waiting for seat....


                                                                      Delicious~

                                               

We found Citibank branch in Central World, and as our money seems to have dried up after this day trip, we decided to use Citibank credit card to withdraw some money for our next few days shopping.

                                                   Spent all $$$ in Platinum & Big C @Day 2
