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
tamarind, the ultimate Thai pasalubong, and my fave too
