Bangkok
Where to stay
For young people one of the best location to stay is the surroundings of Khaosan Road, which is zone of entertainment full of bars, restaurants, massage saloons or markets, where you can buy many souvenirs for reasonable prices. If you cannot afford branded clothes or accessories in your home country, don't worry about this, while watching the markets in Khaosan Road, you'll see plenty of copies of those stuff. Prices are much lower compared to e.g. original Ray-Ban glasses, but unfortunately do not expect too much from the quality.
The area itself is also rich for hotels or hostels and for those who would like to travel by coach to some islands, it is quite easy. You can see plenty of offers while walking, as the area is also full of travel agencies organizing transport to islands such as Koh Chang or Koh Samui.
Shopping
Bangkok is also great place for shopping, see below list of shopping malls worth to visit:
For fans of outdoor markets:
Transport
There are more options how to get from point A to point B in Bangkok, for fans of public transport the best option is to take sky-train (BTS) rolling above the streets. Network is not as dense as in other European cities but travelling via BTS is pretty comfortable and you do not have to worry about getting stuck in a traffic jam, which happens quite often throughout the day.
For individual transport the best is to take a taxi. Taxis in Bangkok are pretty affordable, but before the journey starts, it is good to check whether the driver has the taxameter turned on. If not, you can be terribly ripped off. In case your driver is reluctant to switch taxameter on before your journey, just jump out from the taxi.
Also check occurence of traffic jams, Bangkok suffers a lot from it. It is much better take a taxi outside rush hours, otherwise your journey can take ages.

Koh Chang
Transport
Unfortunately there are no shuttle buses in Koh Chang, public transport is provided by taxis only. Compared to Bangkok, taxis in Koh Chang can be very overpriced and without any taxameter. Drivers always take you somewhere for agreed price but unfortunately the do not charge for a cab but for a person.
The best option is to rent a scooter, which is possible in almost every hotel. Prices are usually around 200 THB per day. Do not bother if you do not have driving license for a scooter, nobody asks for. Just make sure you are skilled enough to ride (roads can be very steep in Koh Chang).
