Asiatique, The Riverfront, south Chaophrya river, BKK

Once again, when we asked how many days to spend in Bangkok, we may reply "not days, should be weeks". Big and small malls are growing like dandelions. We feel dizzy and confused in planning an itinerary for friends who are new or not that frequent to visit BKK. Even it's not easy to write an apps for a comprehensive BKK "check".
Lately TC brought us to this newly opened riverfront giant shopping and dining bazaar. This place is in the south of Chaophrya river (about 5 min. walk south of Ramada hotel). Due to the heavy traffic of Charoengkrung vicinity, Asiatique offers a free shuttle boat to Sathorn pier (the BTS stop for the riverside hotel - Saphan Takshin) in a 15 min. interval. It has 10 pier sections covering lots of shops and restaurants and a big food court. Good for you to spend 1 whole day or 2 days if you love the atmosphere of bazaar.

Mickey, I think TC would wait for all the shops to be open and so that's the right time for him to bring you there.

Mickey, TC will bring you to try the sizzling hot plate shop in the pier 6. It's a nice shop selling everything organic and natural, especially the seasoning. :)

Wow the second part above is nice.
I can skip the first half though.
Yes I always like night bazaar a lot.
In fact I like any bazaar, any shopping, any swap meets, any outlets........

SS, you would love this place (told by someone)... Also, it's nice that there is some river cool breeze. Walking in such a cool place and shopping around.
