Looking for some cheap clothes, and can't be bothered to haggle in the markets? Or perhaps you need to stock up on toiletries for your trip, or you need baby supplies - for all of these reasons you might want to join the locals and head for the nearest hypermarket. Tesco have a major presence in Bangkok, but for most tourists the best located hypermarket is the Big C store on Ratchadamri Road, right opposite the Central World Plaza mall. As well as the main store, there is an excellent food court and a multiplex cinema in the building. Open 9am until 11pm daily.

Walk up from Chit Lom Skytrain station;

A cool, small cinema, showing unusual and less mainstream films. A good place to catch up with what's going on in the Asian film world and a good antidote to the megamultiplexes rotating Harry Potter and Narnia, seven days a week. Nice cafe and occasional talks by respected filmmakers.

RCA - Royal City Avenue. The listings will be in the Bangkok Post cinema section

Splash out on a gold class cinematic experience in the Siam Centre cinema.For around £6-7 you can enjoy the film in a cinema of around 20 people, in a reclining leather arm chair, with blanket and socks provided, table service plus a complimentary drink and nibbles.Definitely worth it to escape the buzz of the city.
