Shopping Day? U can say that la. The most taxing day of my trip, causing my legs and arm muscles to ache. Damn it! Hahahaha! Ok...blame myself for that.
Thailand's VAT, or GST known in SG is 7%. Not including service charge hor.
[Chatuchak Wkend Market] Took taxi to the market, it was located rather far north of Bangkok. (will write more about their taxis later in BKK special) We were there in the morning la, hoping to siam the place by mid-afternoon(very hot). Alot of things to buy, whatever u can imagine. There are alot of petshops there too...hoho! Bought many stuffs there...Stronly advise u all to walk around first before buying, coz' many shops selling the same stuffs but with different prices.
My personal shopping list: A scarf,a knee-length pants & souvenirs. Mum & sis also bought lots of stuffs. We bought something for mr mao mao, while aunt jo bought most of her stuffs for her 3 dogs.
Think only some sections are open in weekdays. So better dont go there during wkdays lah.
[MBK] A 7 storey shopping mall, selling rather cheap stuffs & fake stuffs as well. The 7th floor is their cinema complex plus restaurants. Had our dinner at Fuji Restaurant, queued for about 20 over mins. While, it's worth it. The food was just CHEAP!!! Tuan had her sashimi set meal for 6.27sgd. I had a full sashimi bento set+chawan mushi @ 8.78sgd. What's inside the bento? Egg, yakitori,sashimi,cooked salmon,fried prawn & vege, pork, rice rolls & some others. What's more? the sets come with Miso soup, fruits and coffee!! Wah their ice coffee was so nice! On par with starbucks. What else i ate? I ordered watermelon juice, sotong, sanma fish & mussels. Altogether it costed about 46sgd..less than 50 leh! Shiok!
Btw, Fuji restaurant can be found in many malls in bangkok, as well as Phuket & other major cities in Thailand.
Bought another bag in MBK...got sales there la.
[Other malls] Walked through Siam Square & Siam Center before reaching the newly opened Siam Paragon. Hahaha! Can just go walk walk lah, the stuffs are not for kids. (Branded gds mah) Bangkok's ocean world is located at the basement of the mall, but the tickets are not cheap la. So i didnt went in.
[BTS Skytrain] Took at Siam station. Was confused by their ticketing there. Coz they allocate the stations by zones, so kinda blur la. However, it should be easy once u know what's going on. Took the train to Sala Daeng station. You can glimpse the city view from the train.
[Lumphini Park] A very big one park ne! Can see the Thai's way of life there, actually same as us la.
[Suan Lum Night Bazaar] After a long walk through Lumphini park, i reached the night bazaar. It can be reached by MRT Lumphini station too. Surprisingly, I didnt see many tourists here. The shops were in much order compared to those in Chatuchak. However, soon we realised that the things were quite expensive lor. After some walking, only bought something for my cousin. There was a big ferris wheel too, but looked like nobody went up leh. Hahaha!
[Mrt] Basically, their mrt is underground train, while skytrain is above ground. Haha! Had to buy our tickets too, this time round it was in token shape. Then we scan and went in. They had something like ezlink too but, but cant be used for Skytrain, coz skytrain's using those cards we used before ezlink la. Sian right? Took all the way to their last station at Hua Lampong. Not bad too. Clean and nice.
[Tired] Very tired ah, took taxi back to our hotel at Thailand train station. Hahaha! Poor mum, so hard to find vegetarian food for her. Surprised right? We actually managed to find one at Hua lampong, but it closed down! Damn it! Other restaurants were at some ulu area, then mum dont want to go. The same thing happened at Robinsons Sala Daeng branch. We went to the food court, but realised that only some stalls were opened. Hardly any souls there...sianzzz
