Flying off tom for another trip. Thought I’d blog about my Bangkok trip. Playing catch up.
Bangkok was a little too “City” for me – hustle, bustle, hot, packed. Plus I’m not really the shopping kind. I like shopping but not all the time, and often it is the last on my priorities on trips. Don’t think I’ll want to visit in another 10 years at least. Heh.
Saving grace for the trip was the local Thai design – Suan Lum Night Market + 2nd level on Siam Center. Wonderful. Suan Lum Night Market was like a Haji lane enclave – just that it was outdoors. People dressed the same. There were self designed clothes, interior decor items (retro!) and the highlight for me: jewellery. My fingers are so thin and can’t find rings in Singapore (costume jewelery) that fit me. Happy to find them in BKK + also funky ones too! Was inspiring just to walk down that lane – and enjoy the creativity of the Thais. My fussy brother finally bought something at ANR @ Siam Center. That floor housed more upmarket and established local Thai designers – nice, very nice. Nearly succumbed to buying an expensive pair of orange shorts. Tried on a short dress made of Satin-Silk – Gorgeous feel; too bad it did not fit
