More shopping @ MBK, an enormous 8-storey mall located
just next to the popular Pathumwan Princess Hotel. One can
practically find everything here, from fashion, food, to
electronics. Skytrain (BTS) Station: National Stadium or
Siam.
Well, I got this pair of beaded flip-flops for just S$4!
I like this cute “Puma” t-shirt & bought it for my
son. The letter “P” had been altered to “C”, which reads
Coma with the Puma signature leopard upside down
& bandaged. I got this for 100THB, which is less than
S$5!
After MBK, I went over to Siam Square
& also got this lacy top for just S$10!! The trick is to
bargain @ these 2 shopping areas.
Shop ’til you drop & explore the 10 facets of luxury, beauty,
sports, hi-tech comm, lifestyle & dining @ Siam
Paragon. MBK, Siam Sq & Siam Paragon are all
within walking distance.
We hopped over to Erawan area to have our dinner after
shopping. I like this cozy & chic Thai restaurant, located on
the 2nd floor of the Erawan Bangkok, famed for its
traditional Thai cuisine complemented by refreshing beverages in a
beautifully-appointed semi-casual setting.
The Erawan Tea Room, has panoramic windows overlooking the
fascinating Erawan Shrine & they’ve a wide selection
of teas from India, China, Sri Lanka & Thailand
available for sale.
We intended to go to Lumpini Night
Market after dinner but was shocked to learn that half the
market stalls were already gone. Apparently, the Thai govt is
making effort to close down this nite market. Left with no choice,
we headed to Patpong instead.
The vibrant Patpong wasn’t so alive as before, or maybe I
was already getting tired of the same old stuff selling there.
Honestly, Patpong does have its fair share of shopping
area other than being a sleazy place. If you're into "nite
life" & fake goods, this is the place to go.
For those haven’t been to Patpong, the place is home to
the city's most popular & renowned night market & it’s a
just couple of blocks between Silom & Suriwong Roads,
down from the Sala Daeng Skytrain Station.
Personally, of all the “markets”, I prefer Lumpini &
Chatuchak. Much bigger with more varieties. We
finished my stop @ Patpong in less than 15mins. We
then decided to go for foot massage.
Green Leaf is located just below the Sala Daeng
Station. The 1hr foot massage cost just 250THB & it’s open
till midnite!
Before heading back to our hotel, we dropped by
Häagen-Dazs to have our ice-cream before saying
good-nite.
