Is Sunday any different than Saturday in Bangkok? Meaning, are stores closed? hours shorter? What can I expect? I am travelling to Koh Samui and have the choice of spending a Saturday or a Saturday and Sunday in BKK and I wonder if the extra day will be a wash if things are closed.
Thanks!

Stores are not closed on Sunday. Stay the extra day in Bangkok.

i think you will find issolated store closings in bkk on sundays but very few as kathie says....there is the weekend market too if you are interested....lots of hotels have fabulous sunday bruches....i particularily like the indian one at the rembrandt hotel....

Sounds good - thank you very much! We will arrive at 11pm on Friday night and leave Monday morning for Koh Samui - one weekend of shopping and culture shock for this los angeles boy!

Hello L.A. boy...from L.A. girl...Yes, most of the stores are open. Now, there are some stores in the Siam shopping center that are closed on Sunday because in August I zipped over to one of them to buy my stainless steel serving platters and the boutique was closed...and I really wanted those platters!So, when I return in August, I'll get to that store before Sunday and hope they are still there. Happy Travels!
