The last time (and the first time) I went to Bangkok, I was fourteen. I bought a pile of clothes - most of them clothes which I look at now wanting to slam my head against the wall because in all honesty they're just plain terrible. Ripped threaded leggings, oversized t-shirts with holes in them to wear with my ripped leggings, and I think I bought some shitty little brown frilly dress that pretty much looks like a reject outfit from some cowboy movie??

Painful times.

I've been planning to go back to Bangkok with my mum since two years ago. Somehow there was always something else clashing that made it pretty much impossible to happen though. But, finally it worked out. It was completely impromptu. I was at a friends place when I got a call from my mum saying that my aunty and her booked a cheap flight and that we were leaving in 3 weeks.

I. FLIPPED. OUT. 

The three weeks went by agonisingly slow. And now just like that, my three days in Bangkok are over. Man, was it amazing though.


I stayed in this cute little hotel called Lemon Tea Hotel, pretty central in terms of location. A walking distance away from Platinum Mall which is where I spent most of my time. Seriously, it was such a cute hotel in a row of foot massage parlours (bless our souls, foot massage parlours <3). They served us little cups of lemon tea as welcome drinks and it tasted so good. There was a whole wall of different types of cans of tea arranged all the way up to the ceiling and bags of tea under the reception. It was so soothing to look at and be around! Not to mention, their beds were made of magic and pixie dust with pillows made of heaven's clouds and blankets threaded with the wings of angels. It was very hard to get off the bed without crying a little.


I bought most of my clothes from Platinum Mall. The prices were slightly more expensive than the last time I was there, not to mention the drop in the value of our currency. But of course in comparison to the prices we're usually accustomed, to a good 80% of the things there were worthy bargains. Holy cow, my shopping money disappeared in the blink of an eye, I pretty much scared myself with my speed of shopping. I had no chill, everybody. I had no chill.

We took a walk to Paragon and along the way we stopped by at Siam Centre. I don't know if I visited Siam Centre the last time, because I'm pretty sure I would have remembered such a beautiful place. I fell in love with everything about it! It screamed creativity and out of the box ideas, the whole concept of it had me hooked.
