Bangkok 2011: Shopping Spree ( Part 2)

SUNDAY, 18th (3rd day)

Sunday, it's Chatuchak. We reached there around 11am. We only spent a very short time there (compare to my last visit, my friends and I went there 9am-5pm), we went back to our hotel around 3pm, uh huh...

Of course, Tom Yam Kung !~

Coconut again! I love the taste :D

Thank God I found it! My chocobanana, I chose almond, it's yummy, 
now I'm missing it already T__T

Our night activity was going to watch the lady boy show, it's Mumba err.. I forgot.. but it's lady boy show, I can't show the pictures here because it's mmm.. 18SX hehe. After the show, we went night walking around our hotel area. One of my friend wanted to buy these things... yucks!

 beetles and frogs! yuccccckkkkkk!

 praying mantis?

bees?

MONDAY, 19th (4th day)

Again, Platinum tee-hee.. I found out that Platinum actually has three zone. Zone 1 and Zone 2 are connected building but Zone 3 is not connected, you have to go out from Zone 2 exit and Zone 3 is just next door.

I captured this for next time guidelines :)

I started at Zone 2. There is an accessories shop on the left from the entrance door, they sell around THB80 for wholesale accessories, I bought my vintage butterfly ring here also, too bad I didn't catch the name of the shop.

I bought two dress at the 222 shops, he sells all his clothes THB200! :D

Interesting shop, but I didn't ask the price for their clothes, next time maybe.

I bought two see through vest/jacket @ THB350 for wholesale price (THB450 for one piece)

Vibrant colour, most of the fashion is using a see-through material such as chiffon, lace etc. Must be probably because it's summer time.

I bought two colour contact lenses Fresh Look, each THB450 (5 pairs/daily usage) in Central World. I found out this shop located at fifth floor, Zone 1 or 2 Platinum, selling THB430 only!! Much more cheaper Y__Y

I bought two clothes here for THB200 each wholesale price (THB290 one piece). I like this shop, See Through!

I didn't bought any here, N-Rich, but I did bought one dress here during my first visit :)

I'll show my accessories in a different post later. I really like all the clothes, bags, shoes and accessories that I bought. 

Until then, Bangkok.

Bangkok 2011: Shopping Spree ( Part 1)

My second visit to the city of paradise, shopping paradise to be exact, Bangkok, I come to you because I miss you. I spent 5 days and 4 nights at BKK and my itinerary consisted of shopping, shopping and shopping. I touched down at BKK International Airport on Friday 16th Sept, afternoon.

FRIDAY, 16th (1st day)

After checked in at our hotel, we went to Platinum. At first I didn't planned to buy anything on the first day, but then again... I did grab a few pieces of clothing :). 

They use coupon system to buy food at the food court.

 I chose this, it's yummy and crunchy!

 Bird nest soup, my friend bought it for all of us

Mango with sticky rice

SATURDAY, 17th (2nd day)

I went to Platinum again while the others went for sight seeing. During my last visit, I already went to the Grand Palace so I decided to go to Platinum for shopping! I had my lunch at Platinum Food Court. After that, we met with the rest at Central World at 3pm by taxi. I realized that getting anywhere in Bangkok using taxi is cheap, almost THB100 from our hotel to all the shopping centre that we went, except for Grand Palace they said they paid around THB200, but it's still cheap.

Coconut! I love ittttt... I forgot the restaurant name

I'm not sure the name, but this actually otak-otak. 

nice colour!

Morning glory aka sayur kangkung, delicious!

The famous Thailand rice

This fish was crunchy!! unbelievable super crunchy! I'm gonna miss the taste

aaa, and the much awaiting dishes... my favourite of all, Tom Yam Kung Thailand!

I found one interesting place in Siam Paragon, it's NaRaYa! they sell fabric bags with cute design and colours!

For my belly dance scarf, THB90

My favourite colour, pink (THB270) and brown (THB300)

The pink bag is for office use and the brown bag is for my belly dance class bag.

We went to Gourmet Market and I had the chance to survey their supermarket, bought tom yam paste and chilli paste for tom yam (hopefully my tom yam will have the same taste with Thailand tom yam using these two pastes!).

I laughed when I saw this, I mean BABI mild? in my language babi is PIG. The english word is Baby Mild.

We had our dinner at Siam Paragon around 9pm, we chose Japanese food this time. I ordered Salmon Jyu THB450 (the restaurant is expensive!! but thank goodness the food is super delicious!)

[To Be Continued]

Can't Wait for September

Why?

It's Bangkok shopping spree! I'm going there with a few of my friends. Last time I went there, I promised to myself that I'll be going back again with rm5k in my pocket! I have to save money from now on, maybe rm500/month? Eh wait, 4 months left, that's means I can only save rm2k oh-ho... Looks like husband gonna be my BIG time saviour (he has to! ;p).

Bangkok City is really a shopping heaven for girls, especially like me. The food, fashion, accessories, bags, shoes... You can die from such an aaahh-mazing experience. These pictures were from my first visit sometime last year with my besties.

Oh my, this is the most delicious addicting Tom Yam ever! can't wait! can't wait!

Just some of the accessories that I bought

Accessories... yep, you've seen the ring at the far back on right hand side?

I've uploaded the pic not long ago, one of my favourite vintage ring

The Giant Swing, one of the place that I've visited

Most of the palace and the temple are along Chao Phraya river. The sight-seeing was an excruciating (mentally) and sweating (physically) experience uh huh.. I'm not gonna go through it again, once is enough

I've decided that I won't do any sight-seeing. My other friends seems like wanted to include a one day tour sight-seeing, but I'm gonna exclude myself and go wild shopping instead!

Shenzhen Trips

I went to Shenzen & Shanghai for a work trip on August 2010. Before we make the journey home, we spent a night at Shenzhen and of course, I won't let this chance slip by just like that! I've heard from my friends that China is a country of heaven, they're selling a lot of cheap things!! really cheap!! But then again, you have to check the quality of the material.

This bangles costs me around rm10-rm15 (I couldn't remember well) and the moment I see it, I'd fallen in love with it. It's like love at first sight.

Thailand Escapade

It is made from wood but it's lighter. I bought it at rm10 if my memory serves me well.

I bought this necklace during my trips with my two besties sometime early last year. Actually, I bought a lot of accessories but I haven't got the time to take picture and uploading it. I guess, one picture is enough for the time being. hehe.

The Third Escapade - Bali

Be my Bali?

The exchange rate was higher than the last time I went there.

Clothes are expensive compare to Bandung. Still, I bought a dozen of everything. hahaha...

Nevertheless, I like badong market. It's so cheap. This is the place where you should bargain till the last drop of your sweat. All the baju kurung, baju kebaya, the batik, my my... the design is way better than our own and it's super cheap! Tanah Lot & Uluwatu sceneries are unforgettable. Next time I go there, I know what to buy and whats not. Maybe in the next 2 years or more, I'll be back. weeeeee... and, hopefully two of my besties will be with me next time. It's not fun enough when laughing without them...

For the time being, let's spend time and day in a different location and different currency and different dialect.
