Pantip Plaza: An Electronic Paradise
After losing our camera, our first stop in Bangkok was the famous Pantip Plaza:
- 5 Floors of Tech: A veritable wonderland of electronics spread across five floors.
- Vast Selection: Everything from computers and software to cameras and phones.
- Our Purchase: We bought our new Sony SLT-A65V camera here.

Exploring Bangkok: Food and Transportation
Our adventure continued with:
- Local Breakfast: We enjoyed delicious, freshly made donuts from a street vendor.
- City Sounds: The roar of motorbikes at intersections, reminiscent of Pattaya.
- Tuk-Tuk Ride: We eventually gave in to the persistent tuk-tuk drivers and embarked on a city tour.
The Tuk-Tuk Adventure
Our tuk-tuk experience was both thrilling and slightly nerve-wracking:
Duration: A two-hour tour of the city’s main attractions.
- Unexpected Twist: Our driver was slightly tipsy, adding an element of adventure (and concern) to the ride.
- Cultural Insight: The driver asked us to visit a jewelry store to help him get free gas – a common tourist experience in Bangkok.

Stay tuned for our next post, where we’ll take you to the tallest building in Bangkok – the Baiyoke Sky Hotel!
Travel Tips:
