Bangkok is cool...

Bangkok is cool...literally chilly. No one told me that Thailand can be cold, and I found out the hard way. I was freezing half the time at Chatuchat (JJ) with a sleeveless shirt.

And so the brave me went to Bangkok aka Shopping paradise with 3 girls...my sister, cousin and lyn. Many told me how daring I was, some say I may not make it back alive. But I came back in one piece (with bigger biceps too)

Suan Lum Night market is pretty much like the Perth's weekend Market, tiled floors and pretty clean. Most of the stuff here can be found at JJ, but you can find some really funky, artistic things from the independent artists section. Really cool stuff.

JJ has everything including pets. Like 99% of the places in Bangkok, barginning is a MUST! Slash it 3/4 or 1/2, use all the tricks u have. You can spend about 3/4 of a day here just to see everything. The layout is a little messy though, I kept walking back to the same place.

MBK is the place to go for dry food...all the crackers etc. For ladies, the bras are cheaper in toyku. Why do I know? Cause I was waiting in that section for an hour while the 3 ladies went CRAZY. I looked like an idiot walking around.

Siam Square is like our Far East, great place to shop. Nearby is Siam Paragon, just like our own Paragon. Very expensive, they have a Lamborghni showroom with a few cars. A little walk will bring you to World Trade, some people go there for Naraya bags. It does not look nice to me, just very cheap. The japanese love it, they buy them by 2-3 baskets. Check out this area next year, they are doing a major renovation over there.

Things to check out and see...
1) FUJI Japanese food, really cheap and good.
2) Durian chips, YUMMYYYYYYY
3) Assam gummies, addictive stuff!
4) 8am and 6pm....Thailand's national anthem, everyone will stand at attention. How cool is that!
5) Mango and papaya salad...good stuff, but ask them to leave out the soft shell crab!
6) Cheap coconut juice and beer
7) Baskin' Robins ice cream
8) Most toilets don't have auto flush system

One thing that irritated me was the lack of basins in the men's toilet. I mean, you can find 5-8 urinals, but there are only 2 basins. I had to queue to wash my hands (YES, I DO WASH MY HANDS).

Bangkok Rocks...the weather made it so much better. I am only going back to Bangkok in Decembers.

PS* I dont really know how to spell the names of the Places I visit. Forgive me if the spelling is wrong. Haha!
