Shopping, Food and Party in Bangkok

Me in Bangkok city

Bangkok is hot (in more ways than one)!!

I have always wanted to go back to Bangkok as my first trip there in Oct 04 was on tour and I didn’t get to see much of the city. I managed to score free AirAsia tickets for Sept 06 but 2 days before my trip was the military coup to oust then Prime Minister, so I decided not to go for fear of political instability and the sights of military tanks and armed guards around the city was not really assuring.

Finally this time around I made it back, it was great - thanks to my dear friend Kung for your warm hospitality and to Dodge and New for arranging a sizzling, happening meet-up..

Shopping

Confession of a shopaholic • I love Bangkok, the shopping malls, markets and even the streets are lined with vendors, I was in my haven!

·         Platinum Mall • the place for wholesale, people here shop with luggage bags!

We initially went to Pratunam Center, thinking it was Platinum, no wonder it was a bit quiet and less stuffs

·         Siam Paragon • classy shopping centre with grand pedestrian plaza and well designed hardscape - waterfalls and cascading borderless pool

Meeting place for the TB meet-up

·         Chatuchak • marketplace with thousands of small shops, selling varieties of items from clothes, household items and decorations, souvenirs, food items and even pets

Went with Kung and met Sabine there, dragging them along on my shopping spree through the maze of shops.
