Oh Chatuchak...I just went there last week. Sadly I don't have enough time to walk around and shopping over there.
But what puzzled me is, I bought 1 curl hair iron over Chatuchak at 190Bhat, around rm19. Yesterday I go Plaza GM shopping, I found out that the iron just sell rm3.50 per piece at Plaza GM....

oh, i forgot to add...
in sampeng, you will see LOTS of soft toys, and LOTS and LOTS of Sanrio product !! Hello Kitty is the favourite there !!!
so to all Hello Kitty fans, sampeng should NOT be missed out!!
i am not a fan, but i too cant help too "OOOHHHH"" and "AAAHHHH" throughout the whole journey !!

am first timer here. and i dont usually leave any comment to anyone's blog, BUT THIS ONE.... let just say that i am notmyself when comes to the word "S.H.O.P.P.I.N.G"!!
i was just back from bangkok myself last week. besides chatuchak, suanlom, pratunam(i personally dont really like this market, though.. not my taste)... there is another market worth checking out : the Sampeng market. near china town. open daily from 9am till around 4pm. its a wholesale market, with GOD DAMN CHEAP price, and they sell everything from hair accesories, to cutie stationaries, gifts, even "manly" items such as laser pointer and LED torchlight!!! they offer 2 pricing there. by buying only 1 item, they charge you slightly higher price, but if buy more than 3 items (in most cases, and try to go to shops where you can mix n match the stuff) they will charge you at wholesaler price !! i assure you, this IS the place for cheap stuff ! though, there is not as m uch sundresses as you get in chatuchak....
i would recommend anyone planning to go bangkok, to go chatuchak in weekends, and sampeng during weekdays, for total shopping experience.
oh, and dont forget to grab some nice, high quality quilted handbags from Naraya and Thanu !!

plaza GM is somewhere in chow kit. the place is quite new. some ppl r reluctant to go there cos it's notorious with the "ah gua" culture.. but it's really safe..so no worries..n parking is easy.

im not sure bout the price 4 the dangly earrings.. but i bought a few button earrings for rm1 each! curve is selling the same thing at 3 for rm10.. there're also lotsa other accesorries, if u buy more the price will be lower..

okay, so i've never been to thailand EVER (and this is partly coz i've always been kinda *uhhhh* about the perceived dodginess of the place) but you make it look astonishingly lovely. must be all the bright colors. i want to go now!

If you go mid-week (Wednesday, I think), JJ Market becomes a huge trading market for orchids.

emily : hahahaha dont ask!!! :P i spent too much :(

abby : i know who you are.. you're ezra's sister!! haha yes feel free to email me :) it would be great to meet you. ezra says many great things about you :)

poet36 : thank you poet36, and i totally agree with you because i've noticed the change myself :) it's been a very strange couple of months for me; i find that i dont think or feel as much as i used to. which probably explains the lack of emotional posts lately. i dont foresee this changing anytime soon, because i'm going to be super busy packing up my life within the next few months.. but i know that when i settle down in america, all the emo-ness will come back ;) thank you so much for your kind concern, i really really appreciate it.

jean : yup i've been to pratunam! haha i cant stand bangkokkkk there are just too many places to shop!

foreverjas : dangerous? no no not at all

cheryl : hahaha! im going in july :P or june. dont know yet.

jab : yes i have!!!!!!!! :( it's all those big macs. haha but i've always had cute chubby cheeks :P

bargain hunting / depressed aunt : awwww dont be depressed. i bring some nice flip flops for you when i come to visit you :D

huoy : oh yes you must go to chatuchak :) it's very, very amazing. yup he's in US, he left in january. but he'll be back for the summer :)

Yeah I agree with what you said about the boutiques, plus they also paid for the air ticket to go there too. But still.. I would love to go and explore the big market myself, because it's the process of finding the gems in each store that makes shopping sooo fun! I definitely won't mind about the crowd and hot weather, the merrier the better!

Oh shit... At this point I'm so sad already, we are actually paying the boutiques owner for more fun shopping trip at bangkok! They get to have a great vacation yet earning money at the same time... Jealous lah lol.

Ah I don't know freddy's surname btw... I know he's in taylor's adp programme though, coz that's how my friend who was in adp knows him too. So funny la I even went to his house before but I don't know his surname! He's in US d?

..and yesterday i was so 'high' to get a pair of flip flops on sale for USD 14 from Macy ..until i saw your cuter and prettier ones for RM 5.......then i sank into deep depression..

bargain hunting aunt — Thu, 08 May 2008 11:21:57 -0000

girl, stock up and pack them along! in usa, lots of things are made in china.etc.. but sold in expensive usd! to get an idea, you go work the math and conversion below..not sure about new york though..

* purses 100 baht - rm 20 - usd 19.99
* 7 pair of earrings 10 baht - rm10 for 3 pairs - usd 10 per pair.
* basic mani & pedi :- 300 baht - rm 70 - usd 40 ..and the courteous gentle thai girls as well as the professional filipino girls at one utama easily beat the rough vietnamese girls in most nail salons in usa..

p/s i saw toe rings sold by an asian girl in an upscale mall here for USD 8 ..i have seen the same ones/quality back in pj…. but forgot how much they cost ...

hey pinkpau.. i've been a silent reader of yours for quite sometime.. first time commenting..

i love shopping in bangkok too! hehe.. have u been to pratunam? if you havent, you really have to go check it out!! they have a lot of wholesale malls there selling really really cheap clothes!

poet36 — Thu, 08 May 2008 08:07:58 -0000

heyyy pinkpau, before i go on i just would like say how amazing your blog is. i just can't help but notice how your blog has evolved drastically over the last few months.from being one that touched on your feeling, emotions and experiences it has become focused more towards fun-filled sugar and spice-esque drama. its still a joy to read but it has lost some of tht maturity and depth tht every entry used to posess. i'll probbaly get a lot of sh*t for this but hey its just my opinion and i hope you take it with no offence. cheers poet36
