First, I dragged Karen to this row of sports merchandise shop near the National Stadium and bought myself 2 high-end Yonex rackets costing a total of $285SGD, THE buy of my visit here! Those two babies would have cost me over $400 in Singapore, and I am raring to try them out on the court.Then we trawled the bewildering row of shops at MBK center for a while. Karen was more interested in this complex opposite the place which offers a great range of fashion wear at good prices, and I have to agree that many of the stuff there is so cute I’ll probably squeal in delight if I’m a girl. Back at MBK, I bought a really cute ‘Darth Vader’ 2GB thumbdrive, with the figure molded out of clay over the hardware. Damn cute.
And the food here must be mentioned. I had to go back to trying the stewed pork rice and the Thai iced tea every time I come here, and regret not having the stomach to get the mango with glutinous rice dessert.
On the streets, we got 2 bottles of the sweet orange juice to quench the thirst, a packet of goreng pisang, and 3 delicious fried chicken drumsticks on the way back. Am gonna get that mango dessert tomorrow night just outside our hostel!I spent a cool $10000 Thai Baht just on the first day! *gasp*
We went for a tour to the city of Ayuthaya yesterday, to see the temple ruins in that area.
We pretty much get the same picture wherever we go, and the day ended with a boat ride back to Bangkok with a so-so buffet lunch on it. Then some walking around Siam Paragon, probably the most upmarket shopping mall in the country.Stay tuned for more updates!
