What to do and see in Wang Burapha Phirom, Thailand: The Best Shopping
Golden palaces, floating markets, majestic porcelain-laid spires…you've never seen a capital city quite like Bangkok. Visit Pratunam or Siam Square for premium shopping, then unwind in the European-style gardens of Dusit. Thon Buri is home to the awesome Wat Arun temple, and over in Phra Nakhon, you’ll find the Wat Pho temple of the Reclining Buddha. Savor mango sticky rice at a food stall before taking in the gilded splendor of the Grand Palace.

Johny's Gems has served many American military, dignitaries and other famous people. Just look at all the pictures on their walls of famous folks who have shopped there! It is a family owned and operated business. Following Johny's death, his son Samart took over the management of the store. Also his brother Joseph works with the business. He picked us up at our hotel and returned us there after several fun hours of shopping. I was lucky that Johny's wife Annie was working on the Saturday we were there. She is retired but said she comes in sometimes just so she doesn't get bored! She is so lovely and warm and very helpful with jewelry selection. I found a pair of beautiful sapphire earrings and a ring to match. There is no pressure to buy. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. I felt that the prices I paid were very good for the quality of jewelry that I bought. After wearing the earrings that day, I realized that the clasps were too tight on my earlobes. I called and Samart said that they would pick up the earrings at my hotel and adjust them and then return them that evening. I was a little concerned because we were leaving to return to the States early the next morning. But no reason to worry. The earrings were returned and I can now wear them comfortably. When in Bangkok, you should visit Johny's Gems for an honest, reliable jewelry shopping experience.

I first heard of this shop a couple years ago, and kept meaning to check it out, and finally did. Reviews and discussion were split on whether it was a fascinating place that's well worth visiting, an old department store version of time travel, or if wasn't viable as a shopping outlet due to carrying really dated stock, in an environment that made people feel uncomfortable. Now I get it; it's both. I liked it, hence the 5 dots. Most of the stock wouldn't be of interest to people, very old clothes, some old personal goods, old sporting goods and musical instruments (really old--I suppose some might be worth money related to that), and so on. I wanted to take pictures, to capture the theme there, but signs say not to, and reviews mention that it's not welcomed. I saw a few modern items there, mixed in with really dated stock, which would make for an option if a visitor wanted to take part in a retail theme (new soccer balls, new dumbells). Then I saw what I would have been looking for, if I'd even considered that it existed: traditional Thai silk versions of Barbie clothes. Probably not actually silk, but that's hardly the point given that Barbie is going to be wearing it. They sold the outfits separately (for 100 baht, $3, and absolute steal) or with a doll wearing an outfit who is essentially an Asian version of Barbie (for 280 baht, less than $10, when the outfit itself is surely worth that, if there even was a retail for such a thing). Barbie costs around $10 to $15, wearing plain clothes; I just bought those for Christmas around a month ago. As for the Thai clothes version, forget about finding those anywhere else; it's not going to happen. My 5 year old daughter was thrilled. Except that she didn't love the Rama 5 era style Thai "pants" version as much, so in dressing Elsa and Anna of course Anna got stuck wearing that. She liked it so much I swung back through to buy more before posting this. I checked and it is stock they refresh regularly, so if word gets out others will probably buy out all they have, and then they'll get it back in. As for the staff seeming bored and giving you strange looks, sure, they did that. They warmed up when I spoke Thai to them but others won't have that option. Go anyway; you'll never see anything like this place again. "Old Siam" is a very old themed "mall" across the street that stayed viable; stop there too to actually buy Thai snack foods, modern clothes, or the modern version of what Barbie was wearing for adults. I bought a Thai silk jacket there for my wedding 11 years ago, the only time I've been in that building before this week.

More of a wholesale market than a shopping experience, the fresh flower market has become a tourist attraction thanks to its sheer size, beauty and exoticism.

Colorful, busy, different and very interesting!! Tons of beautiful flowers and greens, offerings mixed with food, vegetables, fruits, herbs and spices in many many narrow fields where you need to dribble people, motorcycles, bikes and men carrying their goods in small carts.

Snaking through the country, then the CITY to the ocean is the Chao Phraya river that breathes life in every way. From getting fed to feeding your self by boat or buying boats on a boat is the commerce and survival for many Thai people. Stay close to it - cross it - smile. This river was Bangkok before reviews like this were possible.
