Awesome Bangkok: Part 1: Shopping

Aahhhhh Bangkok. The land of awesome cheap shopping. There's a severe lack of pictures because in my 3 trips, I was too giddily shopping to take pictures ^^

Malls / Department stores

Platinum Mall
My favourite place in Bangkok! Full of shops selling lovely sundresses, adorable T-shirts, pretty bags… I can spend 2 consecutive days here in complete bliss… with occasional trips to the upstairs food court with yummy Pad Thai.

MBK Shopping Center
BTS National stadium
This is a huge shopping centre with lots of shops selling shoes and bags at 199B. The Japanese department store Tokyu, also holds fairs selling cheap, cheap Triumph/ Wacoal underwear. There’s a great food court upstairs selling gorgeous mango sticky rice, fried oyster omelette etc. There’s also Coca and MK Steamboats for big eaters ^^ You can also buy foodstuff like durian chips, pork floss crackers etc.

I miss mango sticky rice from MBk^^


29 Plaza
Connected to MBK through the 2nd floor, this tiny building has lots of manicure and pedicure places… a full set of nail art starts from only 200B!! Super pretty and worth it, even though the places are very cramped and it’s like a conveyor belt system.

Central World Plaza
BTS Chit lom/ Siam
There’s a cinema and Isetan with fairs selling cheap, cheap Triumph/ Wacoal underwear. Lots of girls like Naraya too, but I don’t really like the flowery designs.
