Day 10 - Landing at Terminal 21

Good afternoon guys ^_^

I can't believe I've been here for a week and half already and I know that all too soon, it'll be time to go home :(

I'm gonna be so sad when it's time to go back to reality....

Let's not talk about that hahahha...let's talk about what I did on day 10 which was spent mostly at Terminal 21 but a little bit at Nawamin Avenue Mall.

I have to tell you about Terminal 21 first...Terminal 21 is uniquely different from any other shopping mall in Bangkok because each level of the mall has been decorated into a "street" somewhere in the world. For example, the ground floor is decorated with inspirations from Rome and the 1st floor is recreated into the streets of Tokyo especially Harajuku Town.

Here are some pics to show you what I mean...

Day 9 - Shopping at Platinum Mall

Hey,

So the entire day 9 was spent at Platinum Mall which is the largest wholesale and retail fashion mall boasting over 2000 shops at the complex. It is one of my favourite shopping destinations in Bangkok because you can get SO many bargains there.

The way you get discounts at the shops/stalls is to buy 2 or more items because if you buy 2 or more items, you will get the discounted prices for each item which works out to be a lot cheaper than purchasing one item at the full price. I went to Platinum with my bf and his sister which was handy because sometimes I only wanted one item from a shop and my bf's sister also only wanted one item so we put it together to get the discount :D

I suggest that if you're going to shop at Platinum, go with a friend...

Most items are around the 300 baht range which is equivalent to roughly $10 AUD and if you buy 2 or more items, then the discounted price might say be 250 baht each or something like that.

Ok time to show you my haul ^_^

Let's start with jewellery first...

Day 8 - A Day at CentralWorld

Hi,

I can't believe I've been here for one week already and I'll be back in Perth in exactly 2 weeks :(

Whenever I say "I'm leaving next Sunday", it makes leaving so much closer :( wish I could stay longer but eventually everyone has to return to reality right?

Enough on that...so where did I shop yesterday? You guessed it! At CentralWorld. CentralWorld's website says that it is the largest lifestyle shopping destination in Bangkok and I suppose it's right because it has a huge number of retails stores plus food restaurants/cafes and also entertainment.

I LOVE shopping at CentralWorld. It has quite a few U.S stores which aren't available in Perth but it's so big that you really need the whole day to go from level 1 to 7 if you stop and look in most of the stores.

Time to show you guys what I bought :D

Day 5, 6 & 7 - Pattaya Getaway

Hey,

I'm so tired right now and I could fall asleep straight away but I'm staying awake to write this blog post for  you guys because I won't have time tomorrow until late at night so might as well write it now >_<

So on Friday, we set out with my bf's family to Pattaya for a weekend getaway and we booked the Phoenix Lakeside Pool Villa Echo which is a 4 bedroom villa with your very own private pool! It really is amazing and I highly recommend the villa if you're planning to go to Pattaya with a big family. It's also much cheaper than booking separate hotel rooms and you've got the added bonus of a private place with your own private pool and jacuzzi. Don't need to share it with strangers :D

Day 4 - Obsessed with Daiso

Good morning guys,

Yesterday I went to Majoy Cineplex in Ladprao which is not far from Central Ladprao where I went the day before but I spent quite a bit yesterday >_< at Watsons & Daiso.

You might be familiar with Watsons but if you're not, it's a store that stocks Asian branded cosmetics, skincare etc. It's the Asian version of our Priceline but way cooler hahahha.

Purchases at Watsons

So I bought 4 packs of My Beauty Diary facial mask sheets for 99 baht each which is equivalent to $3.30 AUD and each pack has 2 sheets so that was a bargain. I also bought Canmake's shading powder and brow powder. I've used the shading powder before to contour my nose which is really good but have yet to try the brow powder. I prefer filling in my brows with powder instead of pencil because I find that powder works better for me.
