Jatujak Weekend Market

Saturdays in Bangkok is always spent at Jatujak Weekend Market.

This is where  I buy stuff I need for the house. May it be ceramic knobs, water jugs and various colored water goblets. Even cheap underwear and swimming trunks I get here. Over the years, I have made a list of my favorite shops.  There’s a leather shoe/sandal store here. On this visit, my preferred sandal designis no longer in production. According to the proprietress, she promises it will be back on sale on mynext visit. My favorite perfume shop is right behind the MRT station. Unfortunately, the stall that sold my favorite shorts is no longer around. Every time I wore their shorts, I get stopped in the street and get asked where I bought them.

My trips to Bangkok will never be complete if I don’t set foot here.

Jatujak Weekend Market is accessible via MRT Chatuchak Park Station or BTS Mo Chit Station.

Eating in Bangkok: Laduree

 

A great way to spend the afternoon away from the blistering heat of Bangkok is to take refuge in one of the malls.

My friends and I, had some coffee and macaroons at Laduree. Although, it can be a little pricey, but to spend time with this two in a place like this is a luxury we don’t have often. Our time spent together is all that counts.

Laduree Thailand is located on the M Floor of Siam Paragon.

Eating in Bangkok: Sukhumvit Soi 38

A trip to Bangkok is never complete without visiting the food stalls at Sukhumvit Soi 38.

 

Over the years, the area has changed and right now, there’s only a small area left. Blame gentrification. Anyway, my friends and I enjoyed a sumptuous dinner of authentic Thai food on this balmy Bangkok evening.

 

The food stalls of Sukhumvit Soi 38 is open from dinner time and is an easy 2 minute walk from Thong Lo BTS Skytrain station.
