Last Night In Bangkok

Our flight was really early the next day, but we still pushed to go out that night since we knew we’re going to miss this place so much. True enough, until know, we talk about Khao San.

Before we got to Khao San, we had a little adventure, wherein we were taken to different places because the taxi driver told us that it was dangerous in Khao San. Still, after going to one Thai restaurant and Pat Pong, we decided to push it to Khao San.

This kid had been in the same spot since we first went to Khao San. I felt bad for him even if he was smiling all the time. I knew that he was already sleepy and tired. It was a good thing that the people were nice to him. The tourists even played with him.

This beer is actually really good. This was the cheapest beer sold in this particular bar.

What I love most about Khao San is the people. They are all very energetic. Some would dance on the streets without caring who’s watching them. We even saw some guys making a video.

Tourists eating Thai street food! It’s funny how I don’t feel like a tourist in Bangkok. Haha maybe because people there don’t see me as a tourist too because we look the same. 

We went inside a street along Khao San and found a wall filled with graffiti art. Along that thin road were artists selling their creations. This particular guy was selling his own artworks while making some more. The smallest were sold for only 100 Baht! This is the kind of artists that I look up to.

Shoes were also sold in that street, or as we Filipinos call it ‘iskinita’. I didn’t bother asking how much the shoes were because I might get tempted to buy. Haha. Suede was everywhere!

The hip hop in me just couldn’t contain it. #lol

This has got to be the best visual merchandising ‘bangketa style’ I’ve seen! I wanted to buy every color just cause they all looked so beautiful together. I think she’s the one who made those tees too! She was so accommodating and friendly. 

Ugh. Beautiful.

We went home at around 2. We all bought Khao San tops and we’re all excited to wear them.

Time to sleep! Our flight was too early for our lives.

I will miss Bangkok! Especially Khao San and Platinum Mall. I plan to go back within the year with the same people.

Bangkok| Central World

On our 3rd and 4th day, we decided to check out another mall, which was Central World. It was near the hotel, so after going to Pratunam Market, we rode the tuk tuk (motorcycle taxi) to Central World.

The first thing we did was eat. Of course, I ate the usual fried chicken and Hainanese chicken. 

I love Thai humor.

Made In Candy! My new favorite candy haha.

Candy makers in action. It was amazing watching them make the candies. I’ve always wondered how these rock candies were made.

Bangkok Day 2 (2/2)| Buddhas, Wholesale Fashion and Khao San

On our second night, we decided to go to one of Bangkok’s night markets, Khao San.

We were greeted with a lot of food, clothes and accessories upon our arrival. It was like a big party, kind of what I envision Ibiza to be… (someday, someday) I was too excited to see what this night market has to offer that I, again, forgot to take photos of some really great stuff that were sold there. Sarreh.

I was seriously considering getting this done to me.

Leather bags were everywhere! I wasn’t able to find the backpack that I was searching for. Hay…

Tank tops were in every block! 

At first, I thought she was selling the dogs. Turned out, she was actually asking for donations so that she can keep her dogs. I love her.

Pink Pussy. We were surprised to see some accessories sold by big retail brands here.

This was my favorite stall. I saw two awesome shirts here. 

Bangkok Day 2 (1/2)| Buddhas, Wholesale Fashion and Khao San

Our second day in Bangkok was a delight. We were able to visit a lot of places. First, we went to the temples. We visited the Grand Palace and the temple where the Reclining Buddha was. 

The Grand Palace took my breath away. It was astonishing, particularly this golden temple. Golden plates were embedded to the entire exterior of the temple.

Here’s me. I was supposed to wear a tank top #asusual, but the tour guide made me change my shirt and pants. So, here.

Thailand really loves intricate details. 

Of course, I needed to have another photo. lol

Our next stop was the temple where the Reclining Buddha was. My friends already told me when we were still in Manila that this particular buddha was so enormous that the whole body would not fit in one photo. Well, I guess they weren’t over exaggerating. 

Part 2 is about Khao San, our favorite place in Bangkok.
