Bangkok is one of the world's best cities to shop in.
But where should you go shopping?
I have picked up five stylish, budget-friendly and a little adventurous shopping tip:

* Do not miss Chinatown
Chinatown is one of Bangkok's oldest areas, dating back to the late 1700's. It is said that up to half of all Bangkokbor said to have Chinese ancestry. Most are fully integrated into Thai society but still live many partially isolated in the Chinese area. Yaowarat Road is one of the most historic streets in Chinatown that also offers the greatest visual impression of a visitor. It completely weighed down by the glittering and gleaming gold shops and jewelers.
