Shopping Haven in Bangkok!

SHOP TILL U DROP! It's a shopping paradise for all women out there! So much to see and so little time. With almost 20 malls around Siam Square, one can hop from one place to another without ever getting bored. From shopping malls, to the little nooks & corners of the tiniest street, one can see so many things on sale. One of my girlfriends, a Naraya Fanatic just hops into the shop like 3 times in 2 days and bought practically almost the whole shop. There's an array of decor items with a tinge of Thai flavour, lovely dresses, lamps of different shapes & sizes......etc.... Siam Paragon & MBK

Anyway, right till the 11th hour, a day before our flight only did I get confirmation from my 'gang members' on the go-ahead green light. Like them, I wa also worried if I made the wrong decision. All went really smooth as we take flight as early as 8.20am. Upon arrival at the LCCT at 7am, we were told our flight was delayed....sigh* for 3 HOURS! Gosh! After waiting & lepaking at the airport fo about 3 hours, we finally boarded safely. So many were seen wearing masks at the airport. We were one of them. Kiasu mar.... It seemed like hours before we arrived at the Bangkok International Airport. Now to search for a cab. Prices at the front desk were sky high @ 1200 Baht (RM120). We walked further o...
