    What to do and see in Bangkok?

    Me and a friend of mine are planning a 3-4 days trip to Bangkok. We are mainly interested in sight seeing ad shopping.
    Any Suggestions on what all thing we must see, do and what not to do?
    Also, where to go shopping, street shopping, can we bargain, other tips?

    Any other helpful tips appreciated.

    Thank you.

    You can always bargain in the street. If not, they WILL roll you with no regrets!

    Have you considered maybe a guidebook might be handy since it generally has all this information in it? Lonely Planet Travel Guides and Travel Information Download the chapter and put it on your iphone (or equivalent).
