Pratunam is the most %ell.kno%n shopping district in Bangkok and hence you can find
many hotels and street food around here for your convenience# The only dra%&ack is the
lack of trains 8BTS9 in Pratunam &ut it does not seem to &e a &ig factor &ecause many
Singaporeans still like to stay in this area for the convenience of shopping and street
food# Other than the famous Platinum $ashion Mall! there are also lots of outdoorshopping "ust opposite Platinum# 't e-tends all the %ay to Baiyoke hotels area# Those
