My best friend and I are going to Bangkok and (possibly) Chiang Mai around New Years. Any recommendations on cheaper must-see places ang must have bargains and items from Bangkok?

i've only been to bangkok..
so from my experience,(OH I JUST CAME BACK 3WEEKS AGO),
some of the must go IMO are:
Chatuchak Weekend Market:everything under the sun,but very cramp and if you are claustrophobic,might not really like it,but still a good place to check out.DEFINITE BARGAIN PLACE!!
Suan Lum Night Bazaar:Opens everyday from 7pm till late..similar to Chatuchak,but LESS CRAMP.there's also a HUGE ferris wheel to check out the night scenaries...and several pubs and bars there to chill out and just have cheap drinks w ur best friend!
Siam Paragon Food Hall:CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP FOOD!!!45baht for a meal???
Erawan(SP?) Temple:at the heartland,it's the famous budddha...
Pratunam:Indra Square,Platinum Mall,Pratunam Market..ALL THE WHOLESALE ITEMS AT WHOLESALE PRICES!!!
PS:dont go to PRATUNAM CENTRE cos there's nothing there!
basically cheap food is everywhere,but if u board the taxi-s and tell 'em u're going for dinner..they'd recommend places for u to eat...and these places are usually MORE EXPENSIVE!so dont be taken in by them..
Yaowarat/Chinatown:Cheap and nice seafood..at T&K Seafood...can check it out too..
Floating Market:another touristy sight!
sorry,cant recommend ChiangMai cos i havent been there... :)
HAVE A GOOD TRIP!

I have been to Bangkok this October and I can say its good use of money.
Places to visit:
1 Buddhist temples Reclining Buddha and Principle Buddha are very good
2 Safari World+4 shows at the Marine water world
3 Rotating roof at hotel Sky Baiyoke(tallest hotel)
For shopping:
1 MBK shopping centre
2 Sumlum Night Bazaar if you are interested in bargaining
For stay
Bangkok Palace is good-Not very costly and assures a good stay.
I dont know about Chiang Mail but do visit the gems gallery
HAPPY HOLIDAYS

The best website I have ever seen is www.visualthailand.com No ads or popups, and 100's of current photos from Bangkok and every cool thing to see and do listed in one place. This site is the bomb for visitors going to Thailand the first time

In Bangkok verify ot the Sawasdee crew,not something fancy yet low-priced air con rooms three hundred-500 baht with particular expenditures in case you stay more advantageous than 3 nights.. In Chiang Mai attempt Na motel +Very clean, A/C, refrigerator, towels, cleansing soap, television (English inclusive of BBC, CNN, AL Jazeera, and a pair extra) large rooms, new furnishings and fittings. next door to a very helpful laundry provider. Small shop downstairs. loose WiFi. sturdy region. 550 baht.

I'm not sure if this is what your looking for,I like to go and check out the food courts on top of many of the shopping malls, they are cheap and you get to taste real Thai food cooked by real Thai people for real Thai people,its a great way to use up a few idle hours.
