Getting Around: EV Bus & MRT Adventure
This video begins after our breakfast at DERNLEN Market. We hopped on the 40 (4-39) EV bus for just THB20 (≈ MYR3/USD1/EUR1) each. Morning rush hour made the ride slow, but soon we were at Asok BTS, then down to the MRT for a THB20 (≈ MYR3/USD1/EUR1) token to Phra Ram 9. Destination: Fortune Town.
Tech Shopping Spree at Fortune Town
Fortune Town is a well-known four-story IT and electronics shopping mall located on Ratchadaphisek Road in Bangkok’s Din Daeng district, right next to the Phra Ram 9 MRT station for easy access. It opened in the late 1990s and spans about 50,000 square meters of retail space. The mall is a tech hub featuring over 200 stores specializing in computers, laptops, mobile phones, cameras, audio equipment, gaming consoles, and accessories. It also offers repair services and authorized brand centers. In just two hours, we scored:
- iPhone Screen protector + pouch from Big Power: THB600
- Mini tripod from Spy Enterprise: THB700
- Micro SD + SD card from Big Camera: THB2,180
💰 Total: THB3,480(≈ MYR454/USD112/EUR95).
We then stopped by the iGuitar Music store on the 3rd floor. I was especially taken in with a yellow Squier Stratocaster guitar.
After a quick ATM stop, Brendan explored vinyl record stores while we hunted for a manicure spot—no luck! So we chilled at One To Two Café with:
- Hot Caramel Macchiato
- Iced Thai Milk Tea
💰 Total: THB135 (≈ MYR18/USD4/EUR4)
We then headed back to Asok BTS, then the EV bus to Sukhumvit 42. Stay tuned for our next video as we make a return trip to Fortune Town to pick up my Christmas present!
