Bargains in bustling Bangkok

Which stop over to make on the way from Australia to the rest of the world is a common talking point among regular travellers.

For Jennifer it's Bangkok. The country's new airport is promoted as the largest in the world, more square metres of shopping than any other airport, the longest runway and the tallest control tower. All designed to cater for more than 100 million passengers every year.

And while any serious shopper could happily spend hours, days, at the airport, Jennifer sees it as her duty to check out the other shopping opportunities in Bangkok.

The city's relatively new sky train makes travelling across the city into the heart of a range of shopping precincts, very easy.

Jennifer's guide offers some helpful shopping tips including how to bargain.

If you are shopped out there is so much more to enjoy in Bangkok from great food to breathtaking cultural and historical sights.
