1. Consider staying at Novotel Siam Square rather at Novotel Ploenchit to save on travelling expenses on the BTS. Plus Novotel Ploenchit's bed is hard and it's light switches glow in the dark!
2. Consider taking Thai Airways or Silkair to Bangkok rather than Tiger as the return flight was delayed more than an hour :(
3. Go for Thai massage at Chang Foot Massage near Siam Square BTS. It costs 300 THB for a 1 hour body massage but costs 800 THB at the airport!

4. Get a single trip BTS card which starts from 15 THB for a stop or two. Just simply head to the station control to exchange your notes for coins! Remember to take out the card so that the gate will open and the entire BTS station map is on the overleaf of the card!
5. Shop at Chatuchak market just by taking the BTS to Mo Chit. Look for clothes, home furnishings, dog treats and pretty much everything under the sky. Such lovely furniture which makes me want to own a house but then the amount of cleaning to be done just scares the hell out of me! Just around the corner from the home furnishing stores are export agents who ship worldwide! Stop for some local Thai cuisine, sip some coconut juice and rest your legs.

Chicken satay, Crabmeat spring rolls and Phad Thai
6. Dine at Zen Cucina at Centralworld (L3) for its delicious Japanese cuisine. Go for the weekday lunch sets! I recommend the sashimi, sushi and Kobe beef! This is better and cheaper than any Japanese restaurant I've been to in Singapore

7. Shop at Platinum mall but remember there ain't any fitting rooms but they will help to measure you before you commit to a purchase! I particularly like one local Thai designer and bought 3 pieces from her! Apparently the more pieces you buy from the same shop, they may charge you based on wholesale prices.
8. Shop at Siam Paragon's supermarket called the Gourmet Market for pet treats and toys, some of which can be cheaper than Singapore! They have got lovely cold pressed juices which you can sample as well! Try out the Scones by Anothai and the korean pork miso udon from Miyatake Sanuki Udon!
9. Shop at Asiatique by taking the free boat shuttle from the pier which is conveniently located at Saphan Taksin BTS. It beats taking the taxi and being caught in the jam. Lots of good food at Rocking Doll, more shopping and we picked this up as a souvenir for 25 THB!
Now, I shall plan for my next holiday... but there are just too many places I want to go!
Reminds me of Koki
