4 days in Bangkok

Aug 31, 2010 23:23


What I've learnt:

1) Always haggle before you go onto a tuk tuk. We paid 170baht for a trip back to our hotel which would only cost 100baht after checking with Mimi. Just take a cab and ask the driver if he follows the meter cos some doesn't. Majority do.

2) The stall owners don't give huge discounts like last time. When we were at Chatuchak, the maximum discount we got was 50baht -__- I think I'm losing my bargaining skills :(

3) Buy (all) lingerie in Bangkok because it's cheap. 6000++baht for a Triumph bra? That's before discount.

4) Nars, Philosophy, Laura Mercier. I'm quite bummed that the LM tinted moisturiser has spf 20 :/ Their MUAs are very friendly though.

5) I'm past the age of theme parks. After 3 rides I'm dizzy and nauseous and promised myself that I'm getting onto any of those scary rides anymore. Sian Park City > Dream World.

6) Eat plenty of fruits. Love the pineapples, mangoes and watermelons!

7) Walk fast, browse fast, decide fast. The malls are too big....!

8) If you want to drop by Erawan Shrine to pray, go in the evening where there's significantly lesser people and smoke from the incense. The smoke never fails to sting my eyes and make them tear. The afternoon sun is so bloody hot. Heat + smoke is really a bad combination.
