Centara Grand @ Central World(Bangkok hotel)

Hey peeps,we are back from our 5 days Bangkok vacation.Well,without a shadow of a doubt,the trip was truly a fulfilling one.
Basically,we went to every renowned shopping mall for some cheap and good apparels and popular thai tidbits.We also went to the popular chatuchak weekend market which consist of an impressive number of 9000 booths and shops.
The local delights there was also delicious and palatable especially a restaurant by the name of Hong Min in the MBK complex.
Meanwhile,we stayed in Centara Grand@Central World located in the shopping palace of Bangkok.The location was superb because the moment you step out of the hotel,you will see number of shopping malls.Prominent shopping malls are Siam Square,Paragon,Zen,Big C,Pratunam Centre,Platinum,Pintum,MBK and of course the 7 storey Central World itself.
The hotel also offers remarkable services and facilities like the gym,swimming pool,tennis court,spa etc.
Obviously,we went the gym on several occasion and the gym also offers aerobic courses like thai boxing,high intensity abdominal and lower back training,aqua aerobic,Pilate,yoga,etc.So,attached is a clip of the thai boxing programme with my personal trainer in the hotel gymnasium.
