Den ... yes actually Pratanum markets, Pantip Plaza and Platinum mall were all on my "to do" list this time, but, like a lot of things, we never got around to it!
A friend of my sons raved about Platinum mall for teenage boys clothes so I really wanted to get there. And forumites had told me that Pantip was the best place for it, gadgets etc.
So ... thanx for your info ... its all on my "to do" list for NEXT TIME!!!! I could see Baiyoke from our window at the Novotel, Im told its the tallest building in Bangkok - wd have a gr8 view from the top Im sure!
