Annual affair to Bangkok 2011 – 2
Day 2 of our Bangkok trip in October.
Continued our shopping in Platinum before heading over to Paul’s tailor for the BF to do a fitting for his clothes.
We headed back to the hotel for a quick rest before heading out on our long journey to the new ‘suan lum night market’. That decision was a huge mistake, huge.
Even when the few taxis we flagged refused to take us, we persisted and walked the 15 mins to the BTS station to take the long ride to Punnawithi station. We had to walk around 10mins before reaching the newly opened Siam Paradise Night Market.
We settled for dinner at the open air food hall (think the old suan lum with a stage and live band music).Perhaps we were hungry after the long journey but the food we ordered was pretty good.
We proceeded to the shopping area only to be greeted by a ghost town. It was a rather huge compound but that night, about 90% of the shops had their shutters down and the one/two shops that I enquired, quoted me sky-high prices for the items I chose -_- (such a turn-off)
We left rather quickly and swore never to return.
Day two in pictures
I re-discovered the yummy street snacks along the street outside of Central world – the fried chicken wings and chicken skin. Omg – it was so damn shiok. Drools….
