潮游泰国- 曼谷之旅 - CHAPTER 2

.

.

so coincidencely our second day in bangkok was the four face buddha day. i think it should be a big day as believers from singapore, hong kong and other asia countries were there, doing prayers, some of them actually worship the buddha with wooden elephants and some of them paid dancers to perform a worship dance for them. the rates are based on the number of dancers and the duration of the worship. personally, i think the dancers were not sincere, though... hmm... interesting..

siam paragon

central world

siam square

we went to the hi-ends in siam. christmas decors are everywhere. i like paragon the most - the decors are extended to the walkway to siam square. beautiful...

central world is the mall that i long to go. at first i wanted to get myself a custom made scheduler for 2010. i watched from a tv show, that the mall has a counter, which does design for calendars, note pads, diaries and photo albums. but i couldn't find the counter, 算啦! i know there's a shop in the tropicana mall which is doing 'more or less' the same thing as this is doing.

siam square is like a park with unique boutiques. erm... similar to our jalan telawi in bangsar but the size of the park is like 2x of jalan telawi. big billboards and colourful window displays are simply too attractive.

we went to the big C for groceries. hahaha... once an auntie, always an auntie. i wanted to buy instant noodles-lah and rainie wanted to buy phad thai for dad, so there we went to.
