Bangkok - something new every time
Bangkok is truly a fascinating place. Every time i visit this place, i discover something new which is uniquely thai and interesting.
We're back at Suvarnabumi airport again!! Super excited to start our shopping spree.

The foot of the huge statue behind Caryn.
School girls!
These girls are wearing school uniforms, with heels!! How cool is that?!
A day after the release of Transformers. I'm so glad I watched it the night (during the premiere) before my flight. Love it. The part where Bumblebee lost his leg was damn emo for moi.
These SALE signages were everywhere! So bloody tempting!
Our 1st stop: Emporium
I'm not used to waiting for a cab, so near the curb!! Pretty freaky, not to mention the amount of exhaust fumes i've inhaled into my lungs!
Thai ppl are very creative. I love all their ads! And their models are HOT!
More street ads.
This was something I didn't expect to find. I actually found a stall in Chatuchak specialising in couture gown designs for Barbie dolls. And I got so excited. =)
Damn glam okay.
The designer of the Barbie gowns actually designed this headgear as a decorative chair for Barbie.
Which one do you like most?
We saw this young girl performing on the street, along Chatuchak.
A typical weekend in Chatuchak.
We visited the Pets area instead of the clothings area for a change.
I saw this cute shih tzu by the name of Wax, who belongs to one of the stall owners. I was missing my doggies at home by then. And Wax sorta cheered me up, by showering me with lotsa xoxo =)
Puppies for sale! I was tempted to rescue them all.
As well as Bunnies for sale.
Talk about being faithful.
Everyday, there is a continuous stream of ppl going to Erawan Shrine to worship the 4 faced Buddha.
It seems like it's a huge thing to give prayers on a Monday. Caryn bought some flowers and joss sticks from the street vendor and proceeded to pray to the 4 faced Buddha.
Look at the amount of wreaths there are on the railing.
Yups, thats a Burberry outlet alright. Erawan Shrine is strategically located besides the Erawan Shopping Centre, right in the heart of the shopping area.
Holy water?
I saw this mummy feeding her daughter the holy water, then she used the said water to wash her daughter's face.
These 2 couple on the right made a donation and requested for a specific prayer. The dancers actually sang and danced (i think it's some sort of a prayer ritual).
After the performance, the lady looked much more relaxed and at eased. She looked as if she was troubled at first. Good for her.
Back to Suvarnabumi..and leaving Bangkok finally!
Can you guess which store is behind me?
Gucci of cos! ;)
Back finally!

Alice: yeah i know so cheap. But i'd rather these cute pups be rescued by someone who absolutely can take care of them. Cos i've got my hands full with mine already. I'm so greedy arent i?
Mel-T: yups, Bkk = the shoe haven! ahahaah..I sure hope so but chances are, they're probably give me a privilege card to go shopping instead :P
