The longest time this space has been abandoned, and we can’t be anymore embarrassed.
Excuses aside, here’s a quick update and tip for those who’ve plans to visit Bangkok.
Tip #1: Forget Asiatique The Riverfront!
This trip, we stayed at Grand Millennium Sukhumvit and the taxi fare down to Asiatique costs us 200baht(could have being 150 or even lesser but taxi driver threw us this deal halfway along the way).
The newest Bangkok Night Market which opened in May 2012 and boasts to have as many as 1500 small stores. Please don’t pin any hopes here if you are looking for some good fashion retail therapy. 1500 small stores is right, but what good is there when half of the 1500 stores are selling almost the same thing; mainly souvenirs and handicrafts. Quite a number of fancy restaurants but we didn’t try any so can’t provide any recommendations for that.
It’s still worth a look IF you have no other plans at night.
Tip #2: Tailor-make your shirts/suits at Alex’s Fashion Tailor!
There’s nothing more important than good workmanship, good quality and good service when one’s considering tailor-make shirts/suits overseas and this is what we got from Alex’s Fashion Tailor.
Slightly negotiable prices was a nice bonus.
