Chinatown, Siam Paragon & Siam Center

We went to Chinatown after massage. The Chinatown district is one of the oldest areas in Bangkok. Here, you can see a lot of vehicles and people are busying walking here and there. The ambiance here reminded me of Hong Kong. Besides that, most of the Chinese here can speak Cantonese and Mandarin.

In Chinatown, there are a lot of good food. The seafood here is simply delicious and cheap. The bird nest here is selling 300 baht or 400 baht per bowl. For shark fin soup, it is around 500 baht per person.




Here is Lim Chen Xiang, 林真香, a place in which you can buy a lot of yummy junk food for your friends and colleagues. Not forget to mention, if you are running out of Thai baht, you can pay Malaysia Ringgit here, because this shop accepts Malaysia Ringgit and the exchange rate here is the best rate in which you could not find such best rate elsewhere.

After this, we went to Siam Paragon- a well known shopping complex in Bangkok. It is one of the largest shopping malls in Asia. Whereas, for Siam Center, it is next to Siam Paragon, just a walking distance.

Outside the Siam Paragon.
Four of us posting in front of the camera. This picture was taken by a Thai guy. While we shorthanded, a Thai guy took the initiative and offered himself to help us to take the photo.
Since the Thai guy is helpful and nice then i took a pic with him. Not only me, each of us also taken photo with this guy.


We went for a drink after tired of shopping. I have no idea what i had drank the day, but one thing for sure is the drink was delicious. Oh, ya, all the shopping malls in Bangkok will close around 9.00 or 9.30pm. Not more than 10pm, most of the shops are close. Therefore, for those who wants to shop all day long in the shopping mall, my advice is, shop for your favourite before night.

In short, i was happy on the day because i managed to get a skinny Lewis's Jeans. Hahaha. At first, someone (no idea who she was) wanted the same jeans as me and it only left one in the shop. Thanks for "someone" who took another type of jeans and i managed to get the jeans that i desired for. Also, thanks for the sales gal who helped me to look for the jeans!
