Sorry for the delay of the post. Most photos with Hui so I just post up mine first....
Before the trip, Hui and me had pre-planned to go to about 7 places in just 3 days! So once we touched down in BK, there was no time to waste and we immediately hit the shopping malls.
Here goes the photos....
Day 1
Reaching the land of smiles
An Excited Hui A mini van transferred us to Bangkok City Inn... And we are the only 2 passengers on the spacious van. Shiok!
First Stop, World Trade.... to get cheap undies. But were left disappointed, as the prices were about the same as SG.
We actually planned to go MBK next but passed by Siam Square so we stopover for a while.... Many thai designer shops but prices of the clothings are quite ex. I bought some nice tees and a pair of shoes from there. Hui bought some clothes.
Night time was spent at MBK. There were like 7 levels and endless stretch of stores.... That was when I started to SFS (Scream for seats!!!) My legs ached quite badly from all the walking and I tend to sit a lot if I saw seats in the stores. But me and Hui were still very determined to conquer MBK that evening!
Fully Loaded!
Haha... I brought the NTUC tote bag to carry my barang barang. It's quite embarrassing when a Singaporean lady at MBK recognised it and know I'm also a fellow Singaporean. Somemore, I was in the middle of a bargain with the seller (-_-)'''' I swear I am not going to bring any thing that will reveal my SG identity there anymore!
We took the Tuk tuk back to our hotel that night. It was a first-time experience for me. Very thrilling, as can be seen on our faces!
Here're the stuff I bought on first day...
Not a lot. You should see 2nd day's ones.
Day 2
We woke up, fully charged and ready to chiong again. First Stop to Chinatown!
The place sounds a bit dull when Hui first described to me before the trip. But I thought I shall just visit it to experience the thai's chinatown, as well as try the bird's nest (heard it's good!). When we were there, I can't help falling in love with it. It's a place buzzing with lotsa life and energy and exciting things for you to discover...
Wholesale shop selling slippers. Note that most of the shops in Chinatown sell wholesales items. Hui and moi saw a no. of pretty bags and shoes but unable to buy cos we don't need 6 items with the same design!
Hui with a sea of earrings... Chirp Chirp CHeAp!
We bought many accessories and some cute stuff there. We left Chinatown at bout one and headed to Platinum Mall, my shopping heaven!
We decided to have our lunch first before we start our shopping hunt at Platinum. While we were going up the escalators, our eyes scanned through the numerous funky retail shops at the diff levels and we got very excited. We quickly finished our food and start shoppping from the highest level.
For myself, I bought 2 pairs of shoes, 2 bags, more tees and thai-designer clothes from Platinum. Ultra Happy! Hui also bought a mountain of things I remembered. Haha.... Both of us actually had to return to our hotel first to unload our stuff so that our shopping bags have space for our evening shopping!
That's our Dinner at PM - the spirit of shopping divas!
On our way from PM back to the hotel, we chanced upon fireworks at Isetan! Think they were rehearsing for the King's 80th Birthday? We were so lucky! I managed to capture some moments of it =)
At about 7.30 pm, we took a cab and went to Suan Lum Night Market - to be exact, should be MarketS. We realised that there were not only one - but 4 football-field-sized markets in that Suan Lum place *Faintz* By the time I was half way through the first, I couldn't tahan and started SFS SFSSFS!!!!
The shops at the markets were arranged in a parallel manner so it's actually quite easy for you to get around the place.
Below is the shop where we bought our Accessorize-liked kind of slippers (u will see it later in my purchases pic). The lady shop owner below hand sewn the gems onto the slippers. Ichiban! In person, she is really really pretty and her skin is flawless. Me and Hui quite smitten by her. haha... So we requested to take a photo with her but somehow she doesn't look very good in it. Neva mind....
As we continued walking, I went SFS SFS SFS again.... really cannot tahan. Finally, we got to try the Thai massage after we finished the first market. I feel that the foot reflex is not that fantastic but the back, shoulder & neck massage is superb!
Then, it was more walking for us before we stopped at one nail parlour that Hui is satisfied with. And we got our nailart done. Think it was like SG$4-6 only!
Back in Hotel, we sorted the things we bought on that day and started snapping again.
My Day 2 Purchases:
Anybody wants tim sum???
Choi Accessorises from Chinatown. Mine is a modest quantity. You should look at Hui's! She bought dozens of earrings.
All the things below are bought from Platinum, except the pillow, straw bag, slippers and towel.
And I must really show off this..... I finally found my ideal Mary Jane shoes (left pair). I can't find anything more choi than this in Singapore. And for the flats, my colleagues commented that it looks like a designer item. Hao Kai Xin!!!
I was very satisfied with my Day 2 purchases.
Day 3
We had our breakfast at the Hotel's rest., at the same time admiring our nails.
Close-up pic of my nails
After breakfast, we walked to the nearest train station to travel to Chatuchak (CCK) Weekend Market. Some photos along the way...
Their train system is pretty much like Singapore, quite organised and easy to get around to places. It is also clean.
The weather was very hot when we reached CCK. There were also many ppl around to add on to the heat. Can not take it! So we quickly went inside one section of the market to avoid the sun but was greeted by a disgusting drain stench instead. Neva mind... we continued walking further into CCK and saw many variety of shops. I understood from Hui that CCK has diff sections for diff things. Like fashion stores are clustered together in one section, deco in another etc. But to me, I don't really see a clear division. There can be like a pet shop in between another stall selling food and deco. Talking about pet shops, I must say the puppies there are really cute and tiny but the stinky smell from the pet shops just prevent me from going nearer.
We passed by several unique shops. There was one that sells seashells accessories. From bangles, earrings, seashells rings to necklaces.... I spent quite some time in that shop choosing the items to buy. There was another that sells really nice print tops. Hui loved it at first sight. But I did not buy anything from the shop, as I was not sure whether their tops will fit me nicely (Note that most small shops do not allow you to try on their clothes. One smart tip is to bring your own fitting top around when you shop so that you will know whether the size is right). I bought a rather unique designed top, some nice hair accessories and a chic cap from CCK. I love the cap very much!! Shuai!
Both Hui and me actually started to get worried about our baggages on the 2nd day evening. Cos the stuff we bought definitely can't fit in our pathetic luggage bags. So both of us each bought a big plastic bag (the china mainland kind) in CCK. It may sound funny to you but it is actually quite a common sight to see ppl carrying that everywhere they shop. Some even comes with a trolley. Good stuff!
We left CCK around lunch time and took a Tuk tuk and train to Big C / Hotel (something stupid happen along the way but I will cut away this part).
Later part of the day, we went back to Platinum Mall to comb the remaining shops we failed to visit in Day 2. That was when Hui bought her 3 pairs of nice shoes at a very good price. For moi, I bought hairbands, pouches and a hello kitty cosmetic bag (for my sis) within 15 mins cos all the pushcarts were closing for the day. Call it last min shopping huh! haha...
Hui choosing 3 pairs of shoes so that she can get the wholesale price. the shoes you see in this pic is only about 1/6 of the shoes the shop has.
After this 2nd round of shopping at Platinum, we went to enjoy Thai massage again. Shiok! We also had some nice fondue at Swensons before returning to our Hotel. I will suggest you to eat as much Swensons as u can when u are in Thailand, cos they are so cheap!!!
My purchases for Day 3:
Boots pharmacy products! Their hair masks are quite good and cheap. You should buy it when you go Thailand.
Food for my family and colleagues
These are the seashells accessories! Lovely!
Cute hair accessories for myself
Fake Burberry hair clip
More hair accessories for me and glam pouches
That is mainland plastic bag, the cap i like, earring stands, designer top and hello kitty bag.
That's our hotel room for you on the 3rd Night. Haha...
Ok, I "forced" Hui (that's what she claimed but I think she's also very excited about the recording loh) to do some sharing of her best buys and her thoughts for the trip. So each of us has 2 recordings which unfortunately I can't share/upload here. Though it may be silly but I think these videos will serve as happy memories of the days we had in Thailand =)
To conclude, Bangkok is really a Superb place for shopping! That wonderful feeling of shopping all day long and not burning too much of a hole in your pocket is just too good. Hope to be back in the arms of BK soon!
