Just read one of Danielles JBR's and discovered that most shops in Bangkok dont open until 10am!!!! WTF! Thats a pure waste of a few hours valuable retail therapy time in my view ... and can anyone tell me if this is the case in Patong??? I certainly hope not, as Im (pathetic) and an early to bed/early riser person usually. Like to have brekky, hit the shops for a few hours, then lunch and lounging around the pool, before an evening meal accompanied by more shopping!!!
