Bangkok, the city of value-packed shopping, where a dollar can buy you a hundred different and fascinating things, also holds a trump card in shopping value. The auctions that are held there, both regularly and as special events, offer tourists incredible savings on big ticket and everyday items.
The River City Shopping Center monthly auctions draws hundreds of tourists out of their Bangkok hotels every 30 days, looking for genuine Thai artefacts, ceramics, porcelains, lacquered and carved items, and other traditional handicrafts. Even Sotheby's has an auction house in Bangkok, offering rarer auctions, but such hot items! So, if you're planning on beating your previous eBay record for percentage saved on an item, these 4 star Bangkok hotels offer you a great base to explore the auction and market scene.

When you get your bill, you'll feel certain that you won your room at an auction where nobody else turned up ... the Bangkok hotel is decorated in luxurious Thai teak, with heavy, silken texture sheets, Jacuzzi tubs in room, valet service and people to do your laundry for you ... all at a fraction of the cost of Western hotels.
