芷冰: Bangkok Scootin'

05 MAY 2017 - 07 MAY 2017 /

So, adele & co. had left all the planning of this trip's itinerary to me (my full-time work for one day and one night) and there had been so much I wanted to see and eat and do, it was unlikely that we would cover all in prolly two and a half days. And there were some places the rest weren't that interested in - like the airplane graveyard, and we gave up some cafes like theCOMMONS, the Audrey Group cafe & restaurant, and even the popular ones like After You just so we could do more SHOPPINGGG and this particular melted cheese scallops damn elusive, I need to make a reminder to myself to go find them again at Talad Rot Fai Ratchada (this is the new one near Thailand Cultural Centre MRT; we only went to the original one in the suburbs - Talad Rot Fai Srinakarin) And purely FYI - 'talad' means 'market' and 'rot fai' means 'train', so these are basically train markets which open mainly at night and during weekends.

Besides the shopping (which really is THE highlight of this trip - since this is actually the first time all four of us are exploring Bkk proper, I almost never just whack everything), two other highlights got to be the husky cafe called True Love @ Neverland, as well as the Chocolate Ville. The former is a private space where we got to be surrounded by the most handsome Siberian Huskies, and not to forget their commander - MoMo!! (which I think totally steal their limelight hahaha) The dogs don't really warm up to people (almost as aloof as cats), but they don't go around barking loudly which made the whole experience better (in fact, I read somewhere these huskies are one of the friendliest breed) And Choco Ville has food tastier than I expected (spicy too! - I like), with a truly chillax vibe. The only pity has got to be that I didn't take my photos at like sunset hours (which will defo lend a more dreamy feel to the whole place), but at least another place checked off the list!
