chiangrai Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I am just about to fly to Bangkok and I see the zipper is going on my suitcase and I need to buy a new one. I was only planning to stay overnight in Bangkok and will be staying in Sucomvit,soi 4. I don't, the know Bangkok at all but now I have to go buy a suitcase while I'm there. What is the nearest place I can go to by taxi that will have a large cheap suitcase. I don't, the want to have to figure out the sky train,just hotel, taxi and shop. What do I tell the taxi driver.

reefsurfah Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Best bet would take a taxi or bts to National Stadium, MBK center has what you are looking for at decent prices, don't forget to negotiate. Just say MBK or use grab taxi and enter https://goo.gl/maps/NVh55hYFQYoPzCuU6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiangrai Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 Thanks, how many minutes by taxi and about how many baht will it cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianezy0 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 It’s an open and shut case then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyhat Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 MBK is cheap but it's really far from where you're staying. I can't guarantee it's still there but there's been a popup tent thing outside of Robinsons/Mc Donalds in Asoke selling suitcases the last few weeks. You may want to look there first. You can tell the Taxi Robinsons, if that provokes a "huh?" You can say BTS Asoke or Mc Donalds Asoke.. failing that say Terminal 21 and walk back a little. Look out for Mc D/ white tents etc. on the left side (driving side) of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyhat Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 This is the place, the white tent thing is where the black car is, or it least it was there last time I looked and I pass it daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holy cow cm Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Right on the corner of Soi 4 Nana and Sukhumvit next to the police box. Bought a suitcase from there many years ago and you just need to negotiate lowest price. Saves time and effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Just now, holy cow cm said: Right on the corner of Soi 4 Nana and Sukhumvit next to the police box. Bought a suitcase from there many years ago and you just need to negotiate lowest price. Saves time and effort. This is nearest to you and within easy walking distance. If they dont have what you want/like, cross the main road and walk right, there are a few shops on the left side that will have more of them.

chiangrai Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 Thanks, I'm now in Soi 4, I will walk up the street and have a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Maybe too late but if you didn't find a suitable suitecase around Nana, then go to Big-C, just down from Central World. Exit Chit Lom BTS and take the walkway. I've consistently found the best deals on inexpensive suitcases at Big-C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
