shop shop in bangkok

Visited bangkok over the weekend for a shopping trip (its a place that makes the literal meaning of "shop till u drop" literal! if u know wat i mean.) Stayed at the Novotel Siam Square (extremely convenient for shoppers). A little shopping route from the hotel: -
1. Novotel - Siam Paragon - Siam Discovery - Novotel
2. Novotel - BTS Skytrain - Chatuchak (or JJ as the locals/ our cabby called it) - Novotel - MBK - Siam Square shops - Novotel
3. Novotel - Siam Square shops - Centralworld - Gaysorn - Novotel
4. Novotel - BTS Skytrain - Emporioum - Novotel - Siam Paragon - Novotel
5. Novotel - Suan Lum Night Bazaar - Novotel

notice the numerous times we headed back to the comfort of our hotel room for a quick sit and nap! trust me u need it coz the place is hot and humid, your legs will go aching mad with the constant walking and there's more to the above shopping route!

surprisingly there are lots of pretty and handsome thai people walking around the malls (maybe its just paragon?) anyways we are convinced plastic surgery is the thing that keeps them looking so nice - imagine their clothes sizes are not the normal sizes you would expect back home, everything is a size smaller in bangkok, making me feel a tad bit big!

on our way to the airport, we had a f1 wannabe cabbie - he was speeding at 160kmph, even i don't drive that fast! bangkok being notorious for its traffic jam - it only took us 25mins to the new Suvarnabhumi airport! after check-in ... u guessed it ... more shopping!
