The one place at Bangkok every girl must visit is of course, the Chatuchak weekend market. 15,000 stalls selling everything from accessories, clothes, furniture, decorative items, to pets and food. Everything that you ever need, you can find them here, and usually cheap.

Our first trip to Chatuchak was on Saturday just before noon. It was way too hot and the girl somehow decided to buy 4 pieces of mugs for 15 baht each (a very good deal, I must agree) among other stuff which kinda made carrying the spoils a bit too tiring. We ended up spending half an hour for foot massage, nice!

We went there again on Sunday evening after spending some time in the city. This time around we got quite a bit more than previous trip (but no clay kitchenware this time), Mell got some 20 pieces of clothes and I got myself 3 pieces yey!

that small pile of 3 shirts was what I bought, the rest belongs to Mell

After 3 days at the funky room 202 “Hong Kong Pat”, we moved to room 303 “Medicine Machine” at Reflections Rooms. Instead of the converted shop lot, this room looks like it was a small office, about the size of 2.5 standard hotel room. Will have more pictures posted soon.

2 more days in Bangkok, and it’s been as awesome as it can get. I think a trip to the city is in schedule tomorrow, perhaps to catch another movie and visit the Ocean World at Siam Paragon. Be back soon with proper naisss photos!

    Go to Ocean World – is the best aquarium so far! Largest in SE Asia if i’m not mistaken.

    But could be quite expensive – 890 baht i think.

    Chatuchak market is a crazy place! They sell so many things, but I only got a few only cos most are not up to my standards. Haha! But for those who like shopping, can spend hours and hours there! Feel like going Bamgkok again! : )

    I’m seriously intrigued by the themed hotel rooms. I’m planning to go to Bangkok and stay there. I like the concept of the hotel. Very nice indeed.

    I would stay in a different room every day.

    Hi you’re visiting Chatuchak too? Yea, should definitely not give it a miss. I’ve been there 3 times in less than a year. Normally, I would buy clothes and taste the hawker fares.

    JJ apparently has a very nice park attached to it. Both locals and tourists can be seen strolling and picnicking by the lake. One can try out the gym sets at the far corner or go boating too. Else, people watching and enjoying the serenity like me.

    You know, reading this post again (cause someone clicked my link here), I just realized I have no idea where the hell those slippers are, or all the damn mugs or ashtrays. Or actually a lot of those random knicknacks I bought …
