bangkok: a shopping heaven

my budget has never allowed me to stay in luxury hotels unless its for working purposes. so this time around, as usual, we stayed at HI hostel, an international network youth hostel which we found on the internet. i felt myself so ang-mo cuz those i met were all kwai-lo(s).

this hostel was highly recommended on the internet. homey, clean... affordable!! pardon me for the messy bed. i went guling-guling, then only remembered to take a pic of it.

bearbear to watch tv.

tadaa!!! this is the hostel we were staying at sukhumvit.

see no.25 at the back? the hostel is located at sukhumvit, street 25. the first thai language i learnt fr cab driver at the airport was, "pai sukhumvit soi ye sib haa" which means go to sukhumvit street 25.

walking to the nearest mrt/bts station.

bkk is well connected by public transport. it takes only a 5-min walk fr hostel to this station.

reaching chatuchak weekend market.

this is a shopping heaven and i was shopping like crazy.

its a long and big market. you can find everything here, fr clothing to gardening.

having lunch at this i-dunno-what mall.

going to siam paragon. nothing to buy cuz its like our klcc, which serves high end customers.

bearbear waiting for the train.

4-faced buddha is always packed wiv ppl.

at the 4-faced buddha.

the buddha is located beside this shopping mall which burberry and coach outlets were so tempting!! but tax reduction was not worth a purchase.

i did bra shopping at mbk. absolutely cheap for brands like wacoal.

bkk street food. i was using sign language to communicate wiv the thais and the dishes turned out like this~~~ tasted not bad anyway!!

goodnite, my bearbear said.
