Finding a reputable gold bracelet vendor in Bangkok
I'm visiting Bangkok and want to buy a gold bracelet but found MBK vendors overpriced and unhelpful. Seeking recommendations for a place with fair prices, knowledgeable staff, and minimal haggling.
Try checking out the gold shops near Siam Paragon or CentralWorld. They tend to be more established and less likely to pull the "tourist trap" pricing. You'll probably still negotiate a bit, but it shouldn't be as aggressive as MBK. Look for places with displays that seem well-maintained and staff who speak English reasonably well – that’s usually a good indicator of legitimacy.
That's solid advice. Siam Paragon and CentralWorld definitely feel safer than some of the more chaotic markets. Negotiating is half the fun (or frustration, depending on your skill level!), but knowing where to start helps a ton. I'd also add checking online reviews beforehand, even for those established places – you never know what hidden gems (or landmines) might be lurking.
71 Sports Club Mystery
I'm heading to 71 Sports Club next week, heard it's legendary. My buddy swears he saw a ghost there, a former boxer who apparently lost a big fight and haunts the ring...or maybe it was just the dodg… more
Nah, the ghost stories are total bunk. It's @Bangkok, everything's a bit spooky after a few Changs. The dodgy lighting is definitely real though, haha. But the Pad See Ew? That's the real legend. Get extra chilli. You won't regret it. Seriously, amazing.
