And Lady's Aphordite's second home is....... ( fill in the blanks if you did not know already) - BANGKOK :) First love to shop and all things bargains , affordable and spoilt for choice. THE best ( quote me on this , I do not lie) place to shop in bangkok is the lovely HUGE mall called : PLATINUM :P
Time you need at this place - varies from 1 day minimum to 2 days . Last few trips I made , I made a second visit to platinum mall only to get more stuffs that I missed out in purchasing the first visit be it dresses, tops, shoes, belts, accessories! This place is heaven to all shopaholics :P Feast your eyes..

This mall is super accessible , get yourself on a taxi or TUK TUK whichever you feel like and everyone knows it by heart! Just say " Platinum Mall " and it is at Pechaburi Road. More information how to get there can be viewed on its official website http://www.platinumfashionmall.com/

You have about 5 floors and each floor dedicates itself to women or men fashion items and the highest floor is the accessory floor and also the food court. You can also view the floor plan on the website =) weeeee super easy peeeasssy isnt it ? hehe Now watch out for the exhaling lovely prices
Most of these shops allow you to still bargain so never fear , just ask again if you can get a discount and say " buy more, you discount? " as sometimes there is a wholesale price even if you buy 2 :) Which is amazing ! My favourite shops are those with prices on a banner in front of the shop so I know I will not get conned
Here are some prices to start you off so you know you are on the right track of bargaining or paying for your sinful pieces
Accessories - Bracelets 3 for RM 10 ( 100 baht ) , chunky ones can be about 2 for RM 15 ( 150 baht ) and earrings - please read post on market at jatujhak and buy your earrings there . Platinum does not have the lovely 12 for RM 10 ( 100 baht ) earrings galore
Dresses - prepare to pay minimum RM 25 ( 250 Baht) for batik dresses or halter dresses but if you are lucky you will find simple ones for even RM 15 ( 150 baht) . Maxi dresses go up to RM 45 - 50 ( 450 baht ) minimum .
Tops ( blouses / shirts ) - RM 10-15-20 ( 100 baht - 200 baht) average depending again on work on it for beading/ sequins or stitching.
And now you see with RM 100 you can possibly buy about 5-10 tops itself ! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Let us all celebrate ! * *break into song**
I might be naughty enough to share some of me selected stores from Platinum later on so be nice :)
