After sleeping almost one 24 hours we have been exploring the city almost all day today. The Mall Bangkapi is quite close to our hotel so we walked there this morning. The mall is huge, at least 4 floors and it is full of really cheap stuff. The prices start from 2,5€ and there are cool brands which you can not find in Finland.
Mr. Oa and Ms. Ami came to pick us up from the hotel in the afternoon and they took us to the Chatuchak -weekend market. That outdoor shopping mall is humangous as well and the prices start from 50cents! And what is more; the clothes are at least the same quality as in H&M. Maybe here those clothes are actually worth their real price... Anyway, after the first 30minutes we were just exhausted because there were so many things to see and to buy. Crazy.
After Chatuchak we took the taxi to Khao San rd. which is the famous backpackers area. Nowadays it is more of a tourist attraction and you can see it from the high prices they have for clothing and food (well, it is still very cheap compared to Finland, but very expensive compared to the local prices). Khao San was full of people and we realized how pleased we are with our hotel which is almost a 40minute drive away from that tourist area. We had dinner at this Irish pub in Khao San. This Irish restaurant had a mexican interior, thai food and american rock music. I love the fact that these guys do not stick to the minor details, same same as they say. This kind of attitude should be welcomed in Finland too.
Ami promised to take us to the city again tomorrow and this time we will ride the river boat. Should be fun. All in all, Bangkok has appeared so cool that we probably will come back before going back to Finland.
