The last time I visited Bangkok was about ten years ago. There was a building maybe near siam, that was about four floors high, it sold clothing for locals. I want to buy croc. belts and bolo (polo) shirts. Any ideas?
Also, are there any late night movies in Bangkok?
Thank you.

If it's a mall, perhaps MBK Mall? There is now a Skytrain station there. I don't know about the animal belts, but it's more of a normal class Thai mall. You may also want to go and delete your other duplicate thread.

I did not post a duplicate post. My other Bangkok post was on the Thai Air board and was about airport lounges. So no reason to delete it because it was not a duplicate thread.

I agree with Jaimito, it sounds like you're thinking of MBK Center. There is direct access into MBK via the Tokyu Department Store from the National Stadium SkyTrain station.

There are several clothing-focused areas to try. They are relatively close to one another, except for Bo Bae.
My guess is that you are thinking of Siam Square, roughly bounded by Rama 1, Phaya Thai (MBK), Chulalongkorn 64 and Th. Henri Durant, which is a warren of shops on 2 ~ 4 levels, the majority of which are clothing stores.
The other area to try would be Pratunam on Petchaburi Road, off Ratchadamri Road. This is the same area that Panthip Plaza (electronics) is located. There is a new 7-story building across from the Amari Watergate Hotel called Platinum Fashion Plaza, all clothing, shoes and accessories with hundreds of shops. Across from this building and sort of underneath and around the Amari is the old Pratunam clothing market, which must be seen. No air con. but dozens of narrow walkways under a huge roof. Hundreds of clothing stalls.
The last area to try is a bit harder to get to. It is called Bo Bae, and is on Krung Kasem and Lan Luang, up towards Dusit.
MBK does have an anchor Dept. Store, Tokyu, and quite few clothing stores, maybe on level 4, on the side farthest from Tokyu.
Maybe Google "Bangkok Clothing Markets" for more info.

Sorry, overlooked this question.
The large theatre chains typically start their last showing between 10:00 PM and 11:30 PM.
Movieseer (http://www.movieseer.com/Showtimes.asp?Channel=2) is OK for getting a general idea on show-times but it can be inaccurate (about as good as the newspaper). I generally use the theatre chain's own websites to get accurate times.
