Making a jump from Bk to Shg might leave you a bit glum. Thailand is geared towards all types of tourism - from families to horndogs.
In terms of safety, I think Shg is very safe compared to Bk and actually more cleaner as well. Also its more organized and a bigger market for shopping.
In terms of mongering, you will be disappointed due to the fact that these things are hidden and one needs insider info. Other problem is the language barrier which is pretty bad. They have a completly different chinese name even for proper nouns like lets say "coke" "sprite" etc. So imagine telling the taxi driver to drop you at Holiday Inn hotel ... good luck!!
The last but not least, unlike Thailand, there arent exhange booths or foreign ATM counters all around the block. You will have to exchange at your 5* hotel counter or take a passport to the local bank.
