Hi ladies, I'm back from BKK
Sad to say, I didn't buy anything for my wedding. Didn't find any nice Angbao box leh
Saw some cheap wedding favours but think it's too early to buy cos' haven finalised the attendance also. Rokko, if you go there in Nov, could you help me buy an Angbao box too? Thanks
But I bought alot of other stuff, esp lingerie hehe
...and some bags, decorative stuff etc. Oh, for you ladies who are renovating your new house, do go BKK to source for furniture, decorations, paintings etc - they have some interesting things in Chatuchak.
Oh, one grouse - Chatuchak seems targeted towards the tourists and the stall holders don't appear to have the typical Thai friendliness. Their prices are higher than even MBK and when you try to bargain with them, they give you black faces and turn away - very rude.
I found an NorthFace backpack in MBK for 400Baht. The stall in Chatuchak selling the same thing insist on 500Baht and refused to lower the price. So we went back to MBK to buy the backpack and the lady didn't even bat an eye when we asked for 400Baht. Think that's the way bargaining should be - with a wink and a smile. Anyway, just my personal experience
