A note of caution about apparels in Plaza Thaniya: have to be careful about the real stuff vs the copies.

Of coz when there, shop for their local brand unless u only buy branded stuff la.. Their local brand is gook enuff, I bought those climate cool golf appraell at those stores that is at the aisleway, cheap good lasting and comfy, IMO, as good than NIKE, ADIDAS etc.

Ok guys, received your orders, price supposed to be 99 baht right? Anyone can upload a picture so that we can confirm that the image in my head of the belt is the same as the image in your head?

Ye, its 99b. without the plastic box. 99b only at market area, not at shopping centers. shopping center price is ard 150b, without plastic box, and 299b, with plastic box. All plastic/rubber belts can fit waise size up till 38".

D,

are u just going to thaniya plaza??

it may not be the place to buy the 99B belt.... but i could be wrong

everytime i go bbk, i go partunam 1st n buy whatever we need, then go to slightly attas malls....

Hey Bro, I am there till Monday, and will be heading to quite a few places ... will stop over at pratunam first as suggested ... I have a local friend to bring me around (and bargain) if necessary ... after all my negotiation vocabulary is limited to pheang maak! and mai ao ...

Rest of the guys, thanks for all the advice! much appreciated

*ahem*

'near' is such an overstatement, how about 'right at the doorstep'?

OT abit, any good massage/spa inside or just adjacent to Thaniya in case shopping at Patpong gets boring...

what's your definition of "good"?

The "good" spas are concentrated somewhat across town, huay kwang, rama ix, petchaburi n ratchada

hmm.. something comparable to local spas such as spa botanica, estheva, aramsa...

professional masseurs (i suppose not hard to find in thailand), good techniques, nice and clean environment...

zephyr...
Okay serious answer then...
Try Healthland - it's in Thanon Sathon Neua / North Sathorn Road.
http://www.healthlandspa.com/sathorn.html

Good service, very reasonable rate (whole body massage is less than 1000B). It's real though so masseuse are not young ones but very professional and experienced.
No time, just go for the foot.

Complete packages available - you can see their website.

Want to have lavish one, in sathorn also have banyan tree.... but a good package will set you back at least 5-6K Baht.

Not exactly inside or adjacent to Thaniya but in the same general area...

Hahhaa~ Thaniya Plaza has got plenty of animal head covers selling there! But I never understood its appeal.

As for authenticity of clubs, I'm not too sure. But had bought my Iron set, Driver and Hybrid at 2nd hand at a good deal in a good condition. I can't be bothered going through the entire process of phototaking and emailing Nike and so on.

If you are really worried, Sportsmall at CentralWorld, Paragon and Emporium also sell golf clubs. But don't complain about their prices though.

Haizz.. dun even have the time to go there !

thanks for all advice though.

btw, the weather is HOT this week ! the opposite of last week which rain every day

CentralWorld and Paragon quite near to each other. Emporium's a tad far though but Emporium is also owned by The Mall Group which means you can goto Paragon to have a look. The discounts offered at both malls are the same.

Yup. This week's sun really damn glaring. Don't leave ur hotel without ur shades!

From Centralworld, you can take the BTS station down to Emporium. I think it would be about 4 -5 stations away if I am not wrong. Bear in mind though, there are new extensions to the BTS. The last station towards that direction is now known as Bearings.

Last week, it was raining cats and dogs there.

From CentralWorld, the nearest stop is Chidlom. Yes, take the BTS heading towards Bearing and alight at Prom Phong. Emporium is right at the door step.

Weather's obscene here. Last night it rained again and looking at the grey sky this morning.... its gonna be a somewhat wet day again. Can't test my new driver at the range again. Damn.
