*City view from our hotel :)Breakfast was served in buffet style. Not too much of varieties but good enough.
Our strategic location of the hotel allows us to go to the famous Erawan Shrine in just 5 minutes walk. This is one legendary place that attracts many prayers around the world.
*Erawan Shrine.You may find it a little weird to find this place in such a sophisticated city.
*Make a wish, make a wish
Our shopping adventure has begun! :D behind me is the Central World Plaza. (See the SALE sign behind!) Go if you are a regular 1Utama shopper. You can find TopShop, Zara, Isetan, LaSenza, MNG etc there.
If you have a complete plan to Thailand, your list should not leave out this place. MBK Shopping mall. This is also where most Thais shop. Its famous for its varieties & also cheap prices. Just stop at Siam Station(BTS) & walk for 5 minutes to reach there. Go if you like Sungai Wang.Despite the shopping experience at MBK, the best part of this plaza is the Food Court at 6th Floor!Change your coupon at the counter & start looking around for your choice of food, many to choose from!We ordered Kuay Chap, Fried Oyster, & Mango Stick Rice!I love the fried oyster & mango sticky rice! :D
Right after lunch, we went to Siam Paragon, which is also 5 minutes walk from MBK. Its a nicely designed mall with all the international brands, Gucci, Armani etc. Its nice to take a walk outside the mall if you are not a shopper. Just to experience the modern architecture in Bangkok.
Platinum Mall is also a shopping paradise for shoppers. Its a textile wholesaler that offers great prices to not only boutiques owners, but also shoppers like me. The down side of this mall is that there's no fitting rooms.
There's also food court & places to drink in that mall.
*We've snacked fried beef noodle (Thai style, sugar & dried chilly flakes added), the cute mini Thai Fried Eggs with assorted flavor.Not to forget one best thing in Thailand is their Thai Ice Tea. It has a very special fragrant that i simply cant resist!
We ended our shopping adventure of the day at Platinum Mall. Without much delay,we moved on to our next destination for dinner at the Cabbage & Condom restaurant.There's always no problem getting a taxi around Bangkok, whom just cant resist conning the tourists. Another experience of almost conned, one of the taxi drivers approached us & asked where're we heading. We told him the restaurant name, at first he hesitated, then the next second he said "ohh..i know that restaurant, the condom restaurant right?ya, but that restaurant is not open today, they are closed for a company meeting, why not i recommend you another restaurant?" alright, we knew he was lying..so we left him for another taxi behind. Well, just have to becareful, usually these people will bring the tourists to the restaurant/any place that promised to pay them commission for bringing in customers. & Usually those places are not genuine & will charge the tourist a bomb.
It took 20 minutes drive from the mall to this restaurant, would be shorter if its not the traffic.
The Cabbage & Condom Restaurant. Nah..Don't get horny, its just a themed restaurant that promotes safe sex.
Its an interesting themed restaurant. Food was fine too.
We ordered : Phad Thai, Minced meat with basil & Chap Chay..I liked the Phad Thai most
