And shopping begins, at the end of the shopping time I calculated the total I've spent, below is the list of things I bought.
For myself:
3 shorts - 600 baht
2 strip tops (formal) - 700 baht
2 dresses (formal + shirt dress) - 700 baht
3 t-shirts - 435 baht
1 long top (DOTS) - 250 baht (impulse buy)
4 underwear - 200 bhat
For family:
2 kids tops - 180 baht
4 kids family tops - 520 baht
3 sets of couple tees - 760 baht
After the first round of shopping, we went back to the hotel and drop our 战利品~ Next stop will be Central World to eat the famous BAKE Cheesetarts (so much wooha in SG and queue is up to about 2 hours just to buy) but in BKK it's just a normal queue! Got to taste the yum yums! As a cheese lover I love it! If you are going to try the cheesetarts, it is located at Level 7 near the cinema.
We settled for lunch right beside the BAKE place (I forgot the name of the food place). Stomach wasn't feeling well that time so settled in with soupy boat noodles and ginger tea. Not sure was that the authentic boat noodles, it tasted kinda salty though.
I had to run toilet while walking around the mall after the lunch. I decided not to join the girls for Art Box due to my stomach condition while they go ahead with plans. They dropped me off at Platinum Mall and continue their journey to Art Box at EM District.
On the way back to the hotel, I grabbed a bottle of 1.5 litres mineral water, 4 mini bottles of yakult looking drink, 1 bottle of lemon 1000C drink. Started nua-ing in the hotel room while texting the girls making sure that reached the place safely. They took a photo and asked me about how the taxi meter, it's quite useful to know.
Sorry for the blur image. Anyway how to read this metre..

Just some tips if you are travelling via cab in Bangkok. Not every cab drivers will go by taxi metre (what i understand if they go by metre, they are also earning lesser due to the rate per jump). I'm ok if taxi drivers give me a flat rate of 100-200 baht per trip. Just be careful of drivers who goes to you and offer a ride, usually that will cost you about 700-800 baht. Bottom line is be clear of what the driver is offering before hopping on to the cab.
Anyway they didn't stay long at Art Box because they felt it's a disappoint with little stalls and they covered the whole place within 30mins or less. Thus they headed back to the hotel for a foot massage while I continue to nua in the room, packing my good buys from morning.
Settled our dinner at the night market outside Platinum Mall, had the Omu Rice I've been eyeing on the previous night. The cashier of the Tokyo Truck is a 美女, and in my opinion the Omu Rice is so pretty and nice! I 打包 another serving to eat for supper.
Ate Mango Sticky Rice also! I only ate the Mango. Tried another stall selling Thai Milk Tea & Charcoal Vanilla ice cream, it was yums too! Happily sharing the ice cream with the girls while walking down the roll of stalls. Made more keychains, and by now the stall owners already recognises me.
