After pregnancy and childbirth until the growth of Little Burger, in 2018, I finally allowed me to take my family back to Bangkok and return home to celebrate Mother's Day together. The family members directly named the whole shopping itinerary, in order to make them happy and enjoy the trip. Comfortable holidays are all arranged by word of mouth information from the community, so as not to step on the thunder and sweep the interest.
Day 1: Freedom to travel in Thailand is not difficult, but you must do your homework
- May 2018, 5 (Friday): Depart from Taoyuan Airport → Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport → Take KKday Bangkok Airport Transfer (Online appointment) → Hotel Solitaire Bangkok Sukhumvit 11 (Check price) → Terminal 21 Food Street and Shopping
1. Route information
When ordering air tickets, consider taking a 6-month-old baby on the plane together, and a larger seat space is required to spend the flight hours, such as providing a crib for the baby to sleep.In addition, if you carry heavier baby-related items (milk powder, diapers, medicines, etc.), you don’t have to worry about being overweight if you have a little more luggage. Therefore, it is more appropriate to choose traditional airlines.
And with the elders accompanying me, there are also professional flight attendants on the plane to assist with meals and guides, which helps me to avoid any questions from my elders when I am busy taking care of small burgers.
a. Traditional airlines
- Taoyuan Airport → Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport:China Airlines,EVA Air,Thai Airways
- Kaohsiung Airport → Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport:China Airlines
b. Low-cost airlines
- -Taoyuan Airport → Bangkok Don Muang Airport:NokScoot Airlines,Tigerair Taiwan,Thai Lion Air
- Kaohsiung Airport → Bangkok Don Muang Airport:Thai Smile Airways
2. Fare Information
In May, the single ticket price of traditional airlines is about 10,000 early, while the best departure and return time for Thai Airways is about 13,000 for early departure and late departure. According to past travel experience, it is absolutely fun and full of fun. At this moment, there is a little more. People and elders do not want them to be too tired from playing, so they choose to go early and return to the flight at noon. It will not be too late when they arrive in Taiwan on the last day of the trip.
3. Thailand Visa / Visa on Arrival
Anya is currently working full-time at home and bringing children. She originally planned to apply for a Thai visa by herself. However, the visa issued by the Thailand Trade and Economic Affairs Office was changed to manual stamping from January this year. The agency fee is 300 yuan, which saves the time and energy of doing it yourself.
The family members took the visa on arrival in Thailand. Some episodes occurred when they arrived, so that they encountered a situation when they left customs and delayed their time to the hotel. I will update the article on visa on arrival and remind everyone.
4. Hotel reservation and travel itinerary
In the previous itinerary overview, we can find one thing "changing hotels every day." The main reason is that I haven't been to Bangkok for more than a year, and there are too many newly opened hotels. Our hotel control is definitely to take a good tour and discuss with the family. Sukhumvit Road is the main axis, and family rooms or apartment-style hotels whose prices fall within the range of 2,000 to 3,000, so that you can also refer to your accommodation experience to choose which hotel.

▲I am very grateful for airlines and airports to give priority to passengers with babies.
▲ Take the new China Airlines A350.
▲ The Thai flight attendants of China Airlines have excellent service, take a group photo before disembarking!
[Take KKday Bangkok Airport Transfer]
Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport has a direct MRT to the city centre, and there is also a taxi schedule on the B1 floor. For a two-person group, up to 2 pieces of luggage can actually take a taxi to the hotel, and the fare ranges from 300 to 400 baht.However, if family and friends are traveling together, it is necessary to call two taxis. In order to avoid trouble, Anya chooses to order the "Bangkok Airport Transfer" service on the travel itinerary service website. The driver will wait at the airport with a sign at Gate3 and lead the follow-up Go and take a ride to the hotel. (Online appointment)

[Hotel Solitaire Bangkok Sukhumvit 11]
Solitaire Bangkok Sukhumvit 11 was newly opened in 2017. At the bottom of the alley next to the BTS Nana Station, there are various restaurants, bars and massage shops along the way. It only takes 7 minutes to walk to the 11-3 Superstore. That said, no discount is a good choice.A reminder that the driver will mistake "President Solitaire Hotel" for our hotel, remember to pay attention to the location of the destination (the former is near BTS Asok station).

[Terminal21 Food Street and Shopping]
Take the Skytrain BTS and get off at Asok Station, and walk to the flyover link. Anya recommends novice travelers to choose hotels in this area. Not only do the hotels have free tuk-tuk connections to Terminal 21, but also they The food street is the first choice recommended by members of the Taiwan-Hong Kong Aitai Tourism Association. Cheap, diverse, and local snacks are enough to kill several meals here.
Day 2: The small market in front of the department store is a good place to visit, and then visit the newly opened cultural and creative market
- May 2018, 5 (Sat): Enjoy hotel breakfast, facilities → Hotel Aspira Parc 39 (Check price) → Chinese food The EmQuartier Food Street and Shopping → ChangChui Creative Space (ChangChui Creative Space / Airplane Market)
Before departure, I discussed with my family that several famous markets and night markets in Bangkok are good for shopping. The Taiwan Aitai community likes crowded and lively night markets, such as Ratchada and Sikarina night markets; and Hong Kong The Aitai community prefers the neon night market near Pratunam Market. The number of stalls or crowds is not as high as the former. However, the environment is clean and it is very convenient to arrange a day trip to Pratunam Market. Novice readers can choose according to their preferences.
For my mother to visit Bangkok again, it is worth taking her to go shopping. We once voted in the club "Bangkok's Best Market?". JJ Market won the championship with more than 700 votes. However, considering taking a small burger with us, I need to change diapers and soak milk, so I gave it up first and arranged the shopping itinerary in the department store in the city, and then took my mother to see the emerging cultural and creative market: Changcui Arts and Cultural Zone, a small make up.

[Restaurant Aspira Parc 39]
In recent years, many of Bangkok’s emerging hotels are apartment-type. In addition to the needs of parents and family travelers, they also accept monthly or short-term rental services. When we took a small hamburger to the swimming pool to play in the water, we met a French dad and a When his children came to play, he said that he went to Bangkok to prepare for the establishment of a company. He brought the children to the accommodation first, and his wife came later.
The family room in this hotel has a kitchen, two bathrooms, two rooms and a living room, and even a washing machine is quite convenient!

[The EmQuartier Food Street and Shopping]
In the morning, my family happily proposed to take Little Hamburger to the swimming pool to play in the water. His baby swimming ring was forgotten at home. My mother thought this trip was to let her baby grandson play in the water as much as possible, and wondered "Where can I buy the baby swimming ring? I buy it." , I pay!".So, I came to the alley entrance The EmQuartier department store to search, but the three shopping malls were too big, and even the staff at the counter couldn't find the children's goods floor, so I had to give up.
However, The EmQuartier has a food street that I personally quite like. There will not be too many people. You can comfortably enjoy Chinese food, feed hamburgers, drink milk and change diapers. In addition, there are small markets in the empty courtyards on the floors to meet shopping needs. I can only say Bangkok. Department stores are good friends of novice travelers.
▲ The mango smoothie sold in Bangkok Department Store is super delicious. My personal preference is better than Thai milk.
▲Most shopping malls have a lot of space for partners in different industries. Such a market can sometimes find treasure.
[ChangChui Creative Space (Airplane Market)]
Since the establishment of the Changcui Arts and Cultural Special Zone, following reports from some media and bloggers, I have a high degree of interest in this market. Field visits confirmed that it cannot be regarded as the type of "night market" that Taiwanese tourists love. It is constructed with fun design as its name suggests. Recruit handicrafts, small shops, and bookstores to enter the premises, supplemented by gatherings in bars and restaurants, and a full report will be introduced later.

Day 3: Enjoy hotel facilities and shopping malls, exclusive urban vacation style for parents and children
- May 2018, 5 (Sun): Enjoy hotel breakfast, facilities → Hotel X2 Vibe Bangkok Sukhumvit (Check price) → Chinese food 4K Cafe → afternoon tea Open House @ Central Embassy → MBK Center shopping → Supper 7-11 Supermarket
The night before, I took a small burger to the Changcui Arts and Cultural Zone on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River. He returned to the hotel too late. Amidst his protests, he enjoyed breakfast and swimming pool facilities in the hotel in the morning. By the way, I could relax. Relieve the tiredness accumulated in the first two days.Then, take the air train to go shopping in the department stores along the Sukhumvit line and enjoy the afternoon tea time.
[Hotel X2 Vibe Bangkok Sukhumvit]
This hotel is located near the BTS On Nut (Annu) station. Next to the BTS station is Tesco Lotus Market. There is a food street and several well-known restaurants. According to the hotel’s public relations staff, the price of the food street is about 50-80 baht. Cheap and delicious, and a gathering place for local residents.If you want to buy a midnight snack late at night, there are 7-11 supermarkets near the restaurant to fill your stomach.

[Open House @ Central Embassy]
I learned that KDa Office, the operator of Tokyo's Takuya Bookstore, has opened a bookstore in Bangkok's six-star Ladies Department Store. I am actually very much looking forward to it!I want to see what sparks will come out of Japanese design combined with Thai creativity!The advantage of staying at X2 Vibe Bangkok Sukhumvit is that not only is there a free tuk-tuk from the hotel to the Skytrain station, but it is also convenient to make good use of the BTS to reach several major business districts.
So take the SkyTrain all the way to BTS Phloen Chit (Polenchi) Station, walk about 5 minutes from the sky bridge to the 2nd floor of Central Embassy, get ready to enjoy a delicious afternoon tea!

▲ There are many gourmet restaurants on the 6th floor, and we will develop a new list next time.
[MBK Center]
After finishing the afternoon tea trip, I also use the Bangkok Skytrain BTS to go to the Siam business district. I personally think that you should not miss the Siam Discovery Department Store. Its space furnishings, brand characteristics and catering have won unanimous praise from the Taiwan and Hong Kong Aitai community, which is not necessarily necessary Shopping is not a must. Go and see what is meant by "Thailand Creative Design Industry", which can increase your travel horizons.
This trip was not arranged to the JJ Market Chatuchak Weekend Market. I still want my mother to shop and buy. I want to go...MBK Center is very suitable. There are air-conditioning and small stalls for bargain shopping. My sister and I Individuals can also enjoy a foot massage, which is awesome!

▲ This massage shop on the 5th floor has a good master and is worth a visit.
▲ Did not take them to Big C, mainly because MBK has supermarkets to buy souvenirs and tax refunds! (No need to go one more trip)
[7-11 Supermarket]
Xiaoqi can be called the favorite snack shop of the members of the community. As long as the mention of heated food, hot pressed toast and various collagen drinks, you can get a lot of feedback. Seriously... I have been traveling in Thailand for 13 years and I have not eaten it at all. For the first experience, I ordered one for the first time to replenish hunger, and paired with a gar-throwing pork rice.

Day 4: SPA, shopping, and enjoy food, Bangkok free travel should be so cool!
- May 2018, 5 (Mon): Enjoy hotel breakfast → Hotel Vince Hotel Bangkok Pratunam Elite Tower (Check price) → Massage Divana Nurture Spa (Online appointment) → back to the hotel to rest → dinner Som Tam Nua @ Central World
My mother has been sleeping poorly for a long time and it’s not easy to fall asleep. My younger sister has been working in the service industry for a long time. She would like to arrange a comfortable and relaxing SPA for them. The schedule should be as loose as possible, and she can go back to the hotel to take a nap!After waking up, use Google Map to compare the restaurant recommended by my sister and colleague. It is in Central Wolrd near the hotel, ready to go out for a good meal!
[Massage Divana Nurture Spa]
This article introduces the Divana branch. An embarrassment happened that day. I have always mistaken Divana Nurture Spa for another branch, Divana Virtue Spa. The former was next to the hotel where we stayed for the first night, and the latter was close to the Blue Elephant cooking classroom, but it was far away. ! (tears)
When we arrived at the latter, we found an error and immediately asked the service staff to help. Not only did we assist in contacting the correct branch and telling the customer that they were in their store, please keep the service time outside, but also used Grab Taxi to call a taxi, communicate with the driver, and take us there!

[Hotel Vince Hotel Bangkok Pratunam Elite Tower]
For the first time, I chose a hotel near Pratunam Market in Bangkok and walked for about 8-10 minutes. There are various food stalls, restaurants and massage parlors along the way. With the new opening of the hotel, the floor design and rooms are also quite good!Especially the upper and lower bunks in the room are very pleasing. If you bring the children to live together, you are guaranteed that they will like it.

[Dinner Som Tam Nua @ Central World]
On this trip, I forced my sister to ask my Thai colleagues if there is any private pocket list. The answer for the first time was "Bangkok no longer has local food, all of them are tourists."This is totally irrefutable!Especially in recent years, the number of tourists has continued to grow, and they are always the faces of tourists. If you really find a restaurant where locals eat, you have to travel farther to find a way.
Som Tam Nua started in the Siam business district, and later opened a branch in Central World. It mainly focuses on Northeastern Thai dishes. The price is not expensive. The few of us are too hungry. We gotta order... and it was delicious.

Day 5: Shopping at Pratunam Market and Wharf Night Market, shopping for replenishment on the last day!
- May 2018, 5 (Tuesday): Enjoy hotel breakfast, facilities → Chinese food The Platinum Fashion Mall Food Street and Shopping → Erawan → Hotel ZENNIQ (Check price) → dinner Ko Dang Talay @ Asiatique The Riverfront → Dock night market shopping
Before leaving, I once asked my mother and sister "Come to Bangkok, do you want to buy anything?", which can be used as a reference for the itinerary. I didn't expect the response I received was "Oh~ okay~ I just need to buy some accessories. "(Mom slaps her voice of thanks). Everyone knows that the most feared travel companion is this kind of casual and unobtrusive travel companion. After the actual development, there will be many opinions!
So, I took directly to the shopping paradise No. 2 for members of the Taiwan and Hong Kong community: Pratunam Market, and No. 2 souvenir purchase: Dock Night Market Meizhenxiang, which can definitely satisfy my mother's shopping desire!
[Chinese Food The Platinum Fashion Mall Food Street and Shopping]
Pratunam Market is still a place for Bangkok vendors to buy goods in recent years, but the number of foreign tourists has also increased a lot, and the content of the goods has gradually increased to be similar. Even some early design and hand-made shops disappeared. Some members of the community did not comment on this. Furthermore, I am a little worried that my family will not like it.Unexpectedly... it is still full of combat effectiveness. The baby strollers of Little Hamburg are used as trolleys, full of everyone's trophies!
If you come here to go shopping, you can eat at the food street on the sixth floor at noon. There are also some restaurants there. Personally recommend you to go to Yum Saap.
▲ This is just the beginning, behind... it's scary.
▲ Ready to start!The non-staple food of small burgers is also solved here.
[Four-faced Buddha]
Since the construction of the empty bridge between Central World and Pratunam Market, Pratunam Market is very convenient to walk all the way, and the distance will not be too far.My sister came to the Erawan Buddha to repay her promise, saying that in response to environmental protection issues, incense cannot be lit, but there are bunches of unburned incense on the incense burner.

[Restaurant ZENNIQ]
My family asked me, "Where did I live on the last day?" I glanced at it... it was an area on the west bank of the Chaobie River, an area I had never explored. ZENNIQ is newly opened and is an apartment-style hotel. The room type provides one bedroom, one bathroom, one living room and one kitchen. The room is spacious and convenient for us to organize all the trophies. Moreover, it only costs more than 100 baht to go to the night market by Grab Taxi!

[Dinner Ko Dang Talay @ Asiatique The Riverfront]
Turning over the note written by the Thai flight attendant, it was written to Ko Dang Talay Seafood Restaurant located in the night market in Bangkok Pier. It was delicious!After finding the route, my sister suggested to eat the food street a few days ago. Since I want to help my mother celebrate Mother's Day, I might as well order good food for this meal and share it.Charcoal grilled shrimp, crab curry, vegetables, Tom Yum soup, etc. are all served on the table. There is also a perfect tableside service. In order to allow me to have a good meal, several service staff volunteered to help me with the small hamburger. Willingly.

▲ Many gourmet restaurants in this area are waiting for us to develop.
[Asiatique The Riverfront at Dock Night Market]
With the change of stores, the unit prices of popular products in the market are getting higher and higher. It may not be in line with your established impression of "Thailand things are cheap and good to buy". I took a look at the products on the spot and the fineness of the products is not bad. It depends on myself. How bargaining skills are, but my mother is definitely the queen of bargaining.However, there is one place in the Dock Night Market that is definitely worth visiting. It sells the popular souvenir Mei Zhenxiang. Almost all the must-buy goods spread by the Taiwan Port Tablet can be found here. The large quantity will help you pack it.

Day 6: Depart for Taiwan and plan the next trip back home (Bangkok + Chiang Mai)
- 2018 May 5 (Wednesday): Check out → Take KKday Bangkok Airport Transfer (Online appointment) → Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport → Duty Free Shopping Store Jo Malone
We are about to take a flight more than 11 o’clock. The KKday airport shuttle service reminds us that the driver will wait for us at the hotel lobby at 7:45 in order to avoid the delay of the shuttle bus. Chinese pop songs, after all, it takes a little patience to stop and go along the way.
After checking in and clearing customs smoothly, my sister suggested to go to Jo Malone to stroll around. How did she know that she would come out one by one... (laugh)
▲ When going to Bangkok Airport, be sure to reserve time for traffic jams.
[Jo Malone]
I remember that Goris, a blogger in the fashion field, wrote a price comparison table for Jo Malone all over the world (with no errors). Under King Power’s activities or the brand’s full XNUMX free XX, the price is much cheaper than Taiwan, and even not the same as in the United Kingdom. We are close together, so my sister and I brought different combinations. If you want to see the special introduction, please leave a message and tell me hey!
✅Comprehensive evaluation: Overview of itinerary map
This trip is frankly...I am exhausted!The seemingly loose pace, I didn’t expect Little Burger aka Little Mambo’s sticky mom’s character to be fully developed. Leaving the line of sight is definitely crying to earth-shattering, let alone a comfortable bath in a hotel at night, it’s impossible, Massage has to lie beside me and sleep, I nestle in a small corner to massage the master. (cry)
In these six days, getting the itinerary, calling a taxi, packing luggage, taking care of your son and taking photos and recordings is a great test of physical strength!Back in Taiwan, he secretly vowed to "I will definitely take Wendy, my dad, with me, and never leave my husband alone in Taiwan."If you want to see other itinerary suggestions, you can refer to the following two materials.
