What to eat in Bangkok? You may wonder. Thailand may be better known as the Land of Smiles but I’m sure many would agree that it is also the Land of Street Food and the perfect foodie’s paradise. Every trip to Bangkok is always a mouth-watering one. And there is just no reason not to […]
On our last night in Bangkok, we opted for a quiet and relaxing sit-down meal in one of our all-time favourite restaurants, Ban Khun Mae. After a week’s worth of street food overload, we just had to have something different. ? Ban Khun Mae is located in Siam Square, just across the road from Som […]
I’m the kind of traveller who likes to head straight to the nearest supermarket upon checking in at the hotel so as to stock up my room with essential supplies like drinking water. It is also kinda fun to explore the supermarket at the same time just to see if there’s any new and interesting […]
There’s always room for dessert at After You Dessert Cafe in Bangkok. ? After an enjoyable meal of som tam and fried chicken at Som Tam Nua, we popped over to After You Dessert Cafe that was just a stone’s throw away. I never fail to eat my favourite Thai street foods like moo ping, […]
Som Tam Nua on Siam Square Soi 5 is one of the most popular places for som tam (green papaya salad) in Bangkok. If you come here during peak meal time, expect to see a huge crowd and/or long queue. The nearest BTS station to Som Tam Nua is Siam. Once you exit Siam station […]
After a good lunch and shop at Terminal 21, we made our way back to the BTS station to catch the train to our next stop – Phrom Phong, where The EmQuartier is situated. The EmQuartier is a relatively new high-end, upmarket mall in the Sukhumvit district of Bangkok. It is located opposite the Emporium, which is another […]
Terminal 21 is a one floor, one theme shopping complex located on Sukhumvit Road (next to Asok BTS station) which is quite different from other shopping malls in Bangkok because it resembles an airport (hence the name). This mall was launched in late 2011 but I hadn’t had the chance to check it out as […]
When you’re shopping at Pratunam Market, it’s very unlikely you will miss the Platinum Fashion Mall on the other side of the road. It is a huge wholesale fashion shopping mall which is also said to be the largest in Thailand. This mall is like an indoor, air-conditioned version of Chatuchak Weekend Market. If rubbing […]
I love cheese and in fact anything with cheese but I’m not so crazy about it that I will just join a long queue for it. When hubby and I stumbled upon BAKE Cheese Tart in Siam Center which is their latest outlet to open after the ones in EmQuartier, Central World and Central Ladprao, […]
If you are staying near the Pratunam Market area and are thinking of heading to Siam Paragon and the nearby malls for some shopping and eating, check out my earlier post on How to get from Pratunam to Siam Paragon in which I’ve shared this alternative shortcut route without having to go through the skywalk. […]
Many of us love flocking to Bangkok to eat and shop. And it’s not surprising that the Thai Tea trend had caught on in Singapore in recent years as well. Hmm, we always adore everything Thai, don’t we? ? My favourite Thai Tea brand in Bangkok is Cha Tra Mue which literally means ‘Number One […]
One thing that I really love about Bangkok is that it is never short of pop-up markets. Even if you come back twice a year for holiday, there’s always new things to see, eat and buy. No wonder E mentioned that he wanted to live in Bangkok, haha. Anyway, if you’ve been to this city, […]
After having a good brunch at Or Tor Kor Market, we made our way to the Chatuchak Weekend Market via the underground walkway of the Kamphaeng Phet MRT Station. We had to walk through the Metro Mall to get across to the Chatuchak Weekend Market. This was a small air-conditioned underground mall which we had […]
Or Tor Kor Market (also known as the Marketing Organization for Farmers) was previously listed as one of the world’s best markets by CNN. I kinda agree with that because it is indeed one of the best markets I’ve come across while travelling in Asia and it’s possibly also the best fresh market you can […]
It wasn’t our first time taking a tuk-tuk in Bangkok but it was the first time that we nearly got scammed. We wanted to get to MBK Center from Pratunam Market. Saw a couple of tuk-tuk drivers waiting by the roadside (and harassing tourists for business as usual) but we totally ignored them and flagged […]
Victory Monument in Bangkok may be the best place to go for boat noodles as the Boat Noodles Alley is just a few minutes walk from the BTS station. However, there is also another gem in the neighbourhood – a popular mookata joint, Pla Thong Mookata, that is frequented & highly recommended by the locals. […]
