Bangkok Platinum Fashion Mall

Platinum Fashion Mall is like an indoor version of the Chatuchak Weekend Market. It specializes in wholesale fashion clothing and accessories, with four floors of shopping space, packed with some 1,300 shops. Here, haggling is part of the fun, and you’ll save more buying in larger quantities. Platinum Fashion Mall location is smack in the centre of Pratunam, a 10-minute walk from either Ratchathewi or Chidlom BTS Skytrain, so it is easily accessible when compared to other clothing bazaars of the same scale. Plus, it’s air conditioned and comes complete with a large food court as well as cafés and fast food chains. There's even a four-star hotel, Novotel Bangkok Platinum, on top. Talking about a one-stop shopping for reasonably-priced clothes and accessories, Platinum Fashion Mall is your best bet. B

Bangkok Siam Paragon

Siam Paragon is an immensely popular shopping mall housing a host of international high-end fashion brands, Southeast Asia’s largest aquarium, a 16-screen Cineplex, and a comprehensive selection of world cuisine. Located prominently in front of Siam BTS Skytrain station - the interchange of the two BTS lines - it is considered by many to be the centre of Bangkok. Considering the mall contains over 250 shops, the layout is logical and fairly compact, certainly when compared to the sprawling Central World mall nearby. However, this mall provides mainly luxury items for well-heeled Thais and international visitors with cash to splurge. If you are looking for something extra-special then Siam Paragon is definitely the place to find it.

How to Open a Thai Bank Account

Opening a Thai bank account offers several benefits but foreigners often find themselves having a difficult time opening one or are unsure of what they need to be eligible for an account. We’ve provided the required documents to open a Thai bank account and a list of banks that are the easiest to open an account with minimal documentation. As a foreigner, there are two major categories you can fall into when opening a Thai bank account: 1. You have a work permit (obtainable with a non-immigrant B visa) 2. You do not have a work permit Expats with Work Permits If you fall into the first group, you are eligible to open a Thai bank account at most banks. In many cases, a passport and work permit will suffice in opening a savings account. However, check with each individual bank for any additional required documentation (i.e., proof of resident status, certificate of residency, etc.) Walk in, grab a number from the number generator near the entrance, and wait to be called on. It’ll take an hour or less to set up an account. The bank official will make photocopies of your documents and have you sign a few forms. Don’t forget important contact information, such as your address and phone number, too. Bangkok Bank Bank of Ayudhya CIMB Thai Bank ICBC Kasikorn Bank Bank of Thailand Siam Commercial Bank Krung Thai Bank Siam City Bank TMB Bank UOB Bank Kiatnakin Bank Thanachart Bank Additional fees will vary for each bank, including yearly fees, replacement ATM card fees, account cancellation fees, and ATM withdrawal fees. Interest earned per year will also vary, if offered at all. Expats Without Work Permits Most people fall into the second group. This includes expats possessing a non-immigrant Thai visa, including retirement, education, dependent, or a short-term Thai tourist visa. Never fear! Banks that do not need a work permit to open an account include: Bangkok Bank Kasikorn Bank TMB Bank UOB Bank In most cases, these banks want to see your passport and either a second form of identification or that you are currently residing in Thailand under a lease. Bring the Following to Open a Thai Bank Account (Savings): Bangkok Bank Minimum Deposit at Bangkok Bank: 500 baht Required Documents for Foreign Individuals: Passport One of the following: Photo identification (student ID card or license) Reference letter from your embassy or your home bank Lease agreement, utility bill, ownership of a place of residence Kasikorn Bank Minimum Deposit at Kasikorn Bank: 500 baht Required Documents for Foreign Individuals: A copy of foreign national ID card or other government issued ID card (i.e., passport) A copy of house registration or lLease TMB Bank Minimum Deposit at TMB Bank: 500 baht Required Documents for Foreign Individuals: A copy of a citizen ID card or an ID card with a photograph issued by a government agency UOB Bank Minimum Deposit at UOB Bank: 50,000 baht (yes, four zeros) Required Documents for Foreign Individuals: A certified copy of passport Either a work permit or student identification issued by local Thai institutions NOTE: We’ve heard wildly varying experiences from people trying to open a Thai bank account without a work permit. It may take more than one attempt because the bank staff may ask for a work permit even when it’s not required. We recommend speaking with bank staff that speaks English well and show them the official rules from the bank in question (linked to above). Keep in mind this is Thailand! The Benefits of Opening a Thai Bank Account No ATM Withdraw Fees No more 150 or 180 baht charges! No Conversion Rate Fees No more loss due to 3% conversion rates, whether from an ATM withdrawal or from currency exchange. Access to Thai Debit Card Issued as a Visa, a Thai debit card opens up opportunities for cashless transactions and online purchases. Keep in mind that cards branded with “Electronic Use Only” are limited to in-store purchases. Transfer Funds In and Out of Thailand Have means to transfer funds from your home country that are accessible in Thailand. Our Experience Opening a Thai Bank Account Thai Bank Card We first tried applying for a joint bank account at Siam Commercial Bank (SCB) at the Central Airport Plaza Mall in Chiang Mai. I was eligible to open a bank account under my name with a passport and a work permit. However, to open a joint account that included Chris’s name, the bank wanted a Residency Certificate (i.e., proof that we are living long-term in Thailand). We didn’t have one on hand, and since it takes ten business days to get one in Chiang Mai, we made a second attempt at opening a joint account at the Kasikorn Bank a few floors up in the same mall. Upon entering the bank we were asked if we had a work permit (yes, even though Kasikorn doesn’t need it), but we were never asked to show proof of it during the application process. We also did not have on hand a lease agreement or utility bill to prove we were living in Thailand. Instead, we simply wrote down our address and they accepted it. It took about 45 minute to set up the account and to register two ATM cards that we received immediately. They cost an extra 500 baht each.

Ada apa dengan badan manusia yang membuatkan Thailand begitu minat mewujudkan muzium sebegini? Selain Muzium Siriraj, The Human Body Museum juga turut memaparkan tubuh badan manusia, namun untuk masuk ke muzium ini adalah percuma dan tidak sengeri Siriraj, muzium ini kelihatan lebih ‘basic’. Tapi yang menariknya, di salah satu bahagian di muzium ini anda dapat menyentuh otak manusia yang sebenar.

Sofitel So Bangkok

When deciding where to stay in Bangkok it’s often the larger and more luxurious hotels that are noticed first. While Sofitel So Bangkok is by no means the largest it is on the larger side with its 237 rooms. What stands out about this hotel is the cool urban design of it, achieved because the Sofitel So was designed by a revered Thai architect and a group of interior designers. Together they created themed rooms that were inspired by the five elements of water, earth, wood, metal and fire. Wonderful views over Lumphini Park and the city skyline from many of the rooms make this hotel all the more special, along with the fact that each room has a complimentary minibar and free wifi. The hotel features a very inviting infinity pool that allows you to swim while admiring the canopies of Lumphini Park and the tops of the buildings of the central business district. You can also enjoy a massage and some time in the sauna, solarium, Jacuzzi and hammam, or hang out at one of the hotel’s three restaurants and bars. 2 North Sathorn Rd, Bangrak

Mandarin Oriental Bangkok

Another hotel brand that is synonymous with luxury, the Mandarin Oriental is also set on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, just opposite The Peninsula. You can expect the same levels of service and luxury at this hotel where the staff call you by name and everything is done perfectly – the service levels are on par with the best hotels in Bangkok, and the world for that matter, and they have the awards to show for it. It’s also nice to know that when you stay here you are staying in a piece of history. The original structure was the first hotel in Thailand when it opened as The Oriental in 1879. Through the years it has hosted many world famous names including Diana Princess of Wales and Prince Charles, Sean Connery, Noel Coward, Tennessee Williams, Audrey Hepburn, Richard Nixon and many more. Today the hotel has 393 rooms with 35 suites. Many do have full or partial river views and all are elegantly furnished with the finest furniture and fittings. Choose one of their extravagant suites for the ultimate in luxury. 48 Oriental Avenue, Charoenkrung

Oriental Residence Bangkok

The Oriental Residence Bangkok is another of the city’s most luxurious hotels but what separates this one from the others on our best hotels in Bangkok list is the fact that this hotel only offers suites, not standard rooms. For anyone looking for somewhere with more space and is perhaps planning a longer stay this would be top of the list. Of course, there’s nothing stopping you from staying just a night or two but either way, you’re in for real luxury here. Overlooking Lumphini Park the hotel has a contemporary elegance to it, different to that of the Mandarin Oriental. Here you’ll find a combination of colonial charm and modern sleekness in all the 145 bright suites. It is crisp and clean but not overly so, retaining an air of comfort and homeliness. All suites feature a fully equipped kitchen, beautiful marble bathroom, and complimentary wifi. There’s casual dining at Café Claire or go a step up and enjoy dinner at the exclusive French gourmet restaurant, Savelberg Thailand. The hotel also has the usual fitness centre and swimming pool, but this pool is a cut above the rest with its unique indoor/outdoor setting and cozy cabanas for privacy. 110 Wireless Road, Lumpini
