Temptations in Thailand

Chu is wondering why I would rather stay home than scour the streets of Thailand. Reason 1: I’ve already been here and done that before. No need to do it again. Reason 2: I’m trying to avoid temptation. Whenever I go out, I end up spending. Why is everything so temptingly cheaper here? Argh!

shopping from a street bazaar
 
 
is it a hat? no it’s an earring!
 
 
I’ve been wanting to buy midnight blue eyeshadow for a while. That I bought it with 11 other shades (6 more shades in a bottom compartment) for the same price is sweet indeed.
 
fell in love with this funky bracelet the moment I saw it
 
 
you can’t buy a 10 dollar dress as pretty as this in Singapore 
(yes, I convert to SGD instead of PHP now)
 
comfy and pretty bedroom slippers
 
DVDs
 
 
I had been looking all over Singapore for this, to no avail. Thank you MBK!
 
 
even books are cheaper here than in Singapore

And don’t even get me started on the food.

Pepper Lunch, at half the price compared to Singapore
 
 
Swensens ice cream, at half the price compared to Singapore
 
 
DQ blizzard, at a quarter of the price compared to Singapore and Philippines
 
 
delectable coconut ice cream with fresh coconut in a shell

Doitung’s choco-macadamia drink is a dream

banoffee pie, which I’d always been curious about

what I like to call Thailand turon – bananas wrapped in fried batter and egg

 

steam boat + grill buffet for 100 baht

 
salad buffet included with the steam boat one mentioned above

 

tamarind, the ultimate Thai pasalubong, and my fave too
