bangkok

i am back from bangkok

I LOVE THAT PLACE.

the stuff is dirt cheap
seriously.

bags cost S$8, dresses S$12.
nice.

anyway, i bought a LOT and this is an extract of my list:

-2 bags [for school]
-2 bags [for going out]
-5 t-shirts
-5 tops
-4 dresses
-6 hairbands
-2 necklaces
-2 belts

and other random things like cool colour changing clocks and underwear. and my very pretty manicure. :D

anyway, since it was a shopping trip, just me and mum, we didn't see much of bangkok except for the interiors of shopping malls but this is what i observed

- the people love the king. like seriously. there's posters of him everywhere and this taxi driver put up a bumper sticker that said long live the king when he could have earned money by advertising some company.
- food is value for money. the tom yum soup was filled with prawns[very fresh], mussels and other seafood and it was like damn cheap. we paid S$12 for the meal which in ying thai[melb.] would have cost at least double that.
-shopping is good. international brands are equally expensive but local brands like lingerie company Wacoal [made in thailand] the price is lowered alot. like S$20 for the most ex. design. Heck lot of fakes at street shops and shopping malls. and piracy seems to be legal there. pirated dvds own proper shops in reputable malls. its like WTH??!! anyway, there's this place called platinum wholesale centre. its REALLY wholesale. people will go there with trolley bags and order 20 pieces of the same design and sell it elsewhere. it is crazy, comparable to a wetmarket in the morning. oh. and the best thing is they give discount if you buy 3 pieces from an individual stall. so for once, my mum is telling me buy more! instead of stop spending your parents' money can?
-i only saw 4 transversites there. well, they're very pretty and tall and omg, you would NEVER guess that they were once men. and the way they dress is very tasteful.
-and there should be a term for thai girls who like caucasians only. like SPG but in a thai context. cause there's so many of them

and that sums up my 4day 3 night stay in bangkok, thailand. Land of a thousand smiles. :D

p.s. there's no fbts there!!! since fbt stands for football thailand, why is there no fbts?! where are they coming from?! *looks at the fbts i'm wearing and wondering about its heritag.. oh. its made in thailand. so why is it not sold there?!?!

p.p.s. the thais are conning us. the best rice, they keep for themselves.

p.p.p.s. i sneaked a look at the price of condoms cause it reminded me of something posted on talkingcock.com:

One day, our beloved Senior Minister went to Thailand and had lobster for dinner with the Thai King. After SM had finished, he asked the King....

SM: Your Highness, what can you do with this lobster shell?
King : We cannot do anything with it, we just throw it away.
SM: Oh, no. In our country, we send it to the factory and produce prawn crackers.

Then SM had an orange. After he had finished, he asked the King.
SM: What can you do with the orange skin?
King : We cannot do anything. We just throw it away.
SM: Oh, no. In Singapore, we send it to the factory and produce orange jam.

Then SM asked for some chewing gum. After he had finished, he put it on the plate and asked the King.
SM: What can you do with the chewing gum?
King: Oh, no. We just throw it away.
SM: In Singapore, we send it to the factory to produce condoms and then send it to Thailand.

SM was about to leave but then the King asked him...
King: What do you do with the condom when you finish using it?
SM: We cannot do anything. We just throw it away.
King: In Thailand, when we finish using the condom, we send it to the factory to produce chewing gum and then send it back to Singapore!!!

And that is the reason why chewing gum is banned in Singapore.

anyway, back to the price of comdoms, its S$2. So does that mean its recycled?! because i check online and the price is like $5. so maybe that's why its so cheap!
