It is safe. Silom mrt is pretty close.

Depends if your looking for pirates fake stuff (the quality in bkk is very good and much higher than in Europe "markets") Or some regular handbags. For fakestuff i would rather visit patpong night market, you can bargain like hell there and even paying 30% is still too much If your looking for original branded stuff try one of the malls (maybe not MBK 😁) If you just want some beautiful handbags with no label on it... phew I think there's no special place to grab them since you get them anywhere...

Just google that. And you have your answer.

Yes I believe Silom Market will be open during the Songkran festival. Food stalls will always be open at any time and if one is closed another nearby will be open. As for the other stalls, obviously they will be selling more things for the festival example water pistols, water guns, small buckets etc.. Dress lightly on that day as the Thais will not discriminate anyone when showering you with blessings and water. Remember to plastic wrap your money and any documents you carry that day. But best leave them in your hotel and only carry money and credit cards with you.

Yes lots of genuine fakes, always haggle though as they tend to ask high prices to start with

yes bts go straight to silom easy access

This is a night bazaar.... a market with various vendors laying out their goods on the street. There are cheap hotels around, but you should see what they offer before you commit yourself to staying a long time with them. Enjoy your stay in Bangkok....

Not sure if got any fake converse or not around bangkok because too many there u can see. Maybe u can looking in Chatuchak Weekend Market (or Jatujak Market (JJ)). It was the largest week end market and many cheap thing u can get from there but not sure if they sale fake converse for kids or not but is the best place to locate for it.
