Shopping in Bangkok

If your ever in the Far East and looking for somewhere to stopover for a few days to spend abit of money on yourself, or others if you’re feeling nice... Bangkok is great!

Unlike the larger, better known resorts, Hua Hin has some lovely restaurants, low key bars and a fantastic night market.
