MBK - Largest Shopping Mall @ Bangkok, Thailand

Being a tourist, visiting the famous and biggest shopping mall is a must! The destination of the day was MBK! This mall have 7 levels. Since this was in the middle of the trip, I have to admit that I didn't explore the whole mall as my feet were aching.

Entrance to MBK
 At the entrance, they have a stand filled with directory. That makes my life as a tourist much easier! I roughly went through the store names and just went to the places that I want to go.

Moving along, we decided to start from the ground floor.

Our breakfast! Saw this by Auntie Anne's and decided to try it out. It taste good while it's hot.

Presentation wise is not as nice as in the ad
 Came across this part of the mall where cheap things can be found!


Mom was looking for 'dried longan' and the local directed us to this store. While my travel companions are busy sampling and buying snacks, I took the opportunity to rest and sit on the floor outside the store. The sales lady saw me and brought me a stool which I was really grateful for!

Anyways, their 'dried longan' is really fresh(still yellowish & not blackish colored) and also their Pepper Roasted Pork is really good! Try it if you do walk by.


After buying snacks to bring back to Malaysia, we explore more parts of the mall. There is this particular store that sells paper lamp. I really love the design but the wood used is not really of a good quality.

Another store which attracted my attention is 'Her Hands' Collection'. They sell handmade ladies' accessories.

Assorted pendants to choose from

Ready made stuff

More accessories

and more over here
 I couldn't resist buying one for myself, although I don't really mix and match my accessories with my clothes. This particular 'red leaf' pendant goes well with the clothes I was wearing. So, why not?
Mine!
Another thing that we bought at MBK is this!
Salt & Pepper thingyy
I have no idea what are these called. But mom love the design. It'll most probably end up as a decoration than being used. As long as she's happy :)

Side note, Thai people are really superstitious. They believe that if the first customer buys stuff from them, they will generally have good sales over that particular day(I guess a bit like the Chinese mind set). So, you can usually get the best deals in the morning!

Happy bargaining!
