Bangkok Trip 2006: Manna Restaurant & Suanlum Night Bizaar
Manna Restaurant
Nice day lounge for food and beverage after a long walk around the giant mall, Siam Paragon. Not only is the place cozy for gathering and refreshment, it has a nicely prepared menu for food. And what’s more? The price is just perfect! Not too pricey for this kind of quality food.
Suanlum Night Bizaar
Shopping in Bangkok does not end when the malls close. After MBK and Siam Square (2 places where I frequent most for shopping) close at 10pm, there is always Suanlum Night Bizaar if you’re not yet drained of your shopping adrenalene.
Situated not far from downtown Silom yet more easily accessible by cab, it is a favorite hotspot for tourists and locals alike. Not only can you get a good enough bargain (still can’t beat the bargains at Chatuchak Sunday Market) and a wide variety of unique objects. Ranging from garments and bags to interior deco, there are so many things I wish I could bring home if not for the size and weight limit for Tiger Airlines.
If you are a serious shopper, be prepared not to buy anything and instead plan what you’d really want on the first night, and do the actual shopping on the second night. You’d never know if you’d get better things as you walk on.
We found this unique stall selling all kinds of accessories for the ladies. Most of these are unsung precious sourced from various parts of Europe waiting to be rediscovered here in a treasure hunt. Looks like a cash machine grown out of a garang guni business!

Hahaha SURE~
So far I’ve only hung around Bkk, though. Might plan for trips to other parts of Thailand. Chiangmai, anyone?

o.O
Yes, that’s a deal then! It is very important to have someone who knows the place very well as tour guide. I hate those tourist-spot. I would rather go for something more “local”!
