After pregnancy and childbirth to the growth of Little Burger, in 2018, I finally allowed me to take my family back to Bangkok to travel back to my hometown 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. The comfortable holidays are all arranged by word of mouth from the community, so as not to step on the thunder and get rid of the interest.

Conclusion: Overview of the itinerary map
Day 1: Freedom to travel in Thailand is not difficult, but you must do your homework
1. Route information
When ordering air tickets, consider taking a 6-month-old baby on the plane, which requires a larger seat space 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 weight, so traditional airlines are more appropriate.
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 the 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 Air
2. Fare information
In May, the single-person fare for 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 return. 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 provide excellent service, take a group photo before disembarking the plane!
[Take KKday Bangkok Airport Transfer]
Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport has a direct MRT to the city center, 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. The fare is about 300-400 baht. Wait.However, if family and friends are traveling together, it is necessary to call two taxis. In order to avoid trouble, Anya chose 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. Follow-up Lead to the hotel by car. (online reservation)

[Hotel Solitaire Bangkok Sukhumvit 11]
Solitaire Bangkok Sukhumvit 11 was newly opened in 2017. It is located at the bottom of the alley next to the BTS Nana Station of the BTS Skytrain. Along the way, there are various restaurants, bars and massage shops. That said, no discount is a good choice.A reminder that the driver will mistake the "President Solitaire Hotel" for this 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 hotels have free tuk-tuk connections to Terminal 21, but also His 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 spend several meals here.
Day 2: The small market in front of the department store is good for shopping, and then visit the newly opened cultural and creative 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 "Bangkok's Best Market?" in the club. JJ Market won the championship with more than 700 votes. However, we are 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 hotel provides cribs and bathtubs intimately.
[The EmQuartier Food Street and Shopping]
In the morning, the family happily proposed to take Little Hamburger to the swimming pool to play in the water. His baby swimming ring was forgotten by me. 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?" Buy, I pay for it!".So, I came to the alley entrance The EmQuartier department store to look for, 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 is a small market in the empty courtyard on the floor to meet the shopping needs. Bangkok department store is a good friend 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, and such markets can sometimes find treasure.
[ChangChui Creative Space (Aircraft 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 a fun design as its name suggests. Recruit handicrafts, small shops, and bookstores to enter the premises, supplemented by groups 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
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 had a good relaxation. Soothes 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.

▲ The cafe in the hotel also provides breakfast and lunch services.
[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 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 connection from the hotel to the Skytrain station, it is also convenient to make good use of the BTS to reach several major business districts.
So take the Skytrain 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 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 vision.
This trip did not arrange to JJ Market Chatuchak Weekend Market. I still want my mother to go shopping 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]
Xiao Qi can be called the favorite snack shop of the members of the community. As long as the mention of heated food, hot 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. The overheated pressed toast, the first experience point is served as a midnight snack to replenish hunger, and it is super refreshing with a gar-throwing pork rice!

Day 4: SPA, shopping, and enjoy food, Bangkok free travel should be so cool!
My mother has been sleeping poorly for a long time, and it is not easy to fall asleep. My sister has been working hard 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 for a nap!After waking up, use Google Map to compare the dishes recommended by my sister and colleagues. It is in the 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 is next to the hotel where we stayed for the first night, and the latter is close to the Blue Elephant cooking classroom. Far away! (tears)
When we arrived at the latter, we found an error and quickly 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 and communicate with the driver to take us there! (→ queryTreatment price)

▲ Come and relax.
[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. The floor design and rooms of the hotel are also quite good after the new opening!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.

▲ The family likes the big bed and the lower bunk very much!
[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.

▲ Later, I will introduce it in a dedicated article.
Day 5: Shopping around Pratunam Market and Pier Night Market, shopping and replenishment on the last day!
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!
Therefore, I took directly to the shopping paradise No. 2 of the members of the Taiwan and Hong Kong community: Pratunam Market, and the souvenir purchase No. 2: 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, and the baby strollers of Little Hamburg are used as trolleys, full of everyone's trophies!
If you come here for shopping, you can go to the food street on the sixth floor for lunch 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.

[Hotel 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 that I had never explored before. ZENNIQ is newly opened and is an apartment-type hotel. The room type provides one bedroom, one bathroom, one living room and one kitchen. The spacious space is convenient for us to organize all the trophies, and the Grab Taxi to the riverside wharf night market is only more than 100 baht!

[Dinner Ko Dang Talay @ Asiatique The Riverfront]
Turning to the note written by the Thai flight attendant, I wrote that Ko Dang Talay seafood restaurant located in the night market in Bangkok Pier, 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, which may not fit your imagination of "Thailand things are cheap and buy well". I checked the product on the spot and the fineness 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, which sells the popular souvenirs Mei Zhenxiang. Almost all the must-buy goods spread by the Taiwan Port Stele can be found here, and the large quantity will help you pack it.

Day 6: Departure to return to Taiwan, plan the next trip back home (Bangkok + Chiang Mai)
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 to give XX, the price is much more cost-effective than Taiwan, and it’s not even comparable to the United Kingdom. We are close together, so my sister and I brought different combinations. If you want to read the special introduction, please leave a message and tell me hey!
Conclusion: Overview of the itinerary map
Frankly speaking...I am exhausted from this trip!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 going back to the hotel at night to take a comfortable bath, it’s impossible, even Massage has to lie beside me and sleep, I nest in a small corner to massage the master. (cry)
In these six days, getting the itinerary, calling a taxi, packing up luggage, taking care of your son and taking photos and recordings is a great test of physical strength!Back in Taiwan, he secretly vowed that "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 data.
