Bangkok

I visited Central World on Thursday. A huge shopping center but I found it a bit messy and too much for me. Lots of food but in terms of quality, I found the food at Siam Paragon to be better.

Yesterday I went by to the Jewellery Trade Center. Surprisingly rather quiet and then I found out that most of the shops were closed for the upcoming year end holidays. Pity. It is 5 floors of shops and a huge 55 floor office complex, almost entirely comprising jewelry showrooms and their offices. Still I managed to get an Indian Alexandrite ring about 1 carat in size for a surprisingly good price.

Thereafter it was off to the nearby Central Park, a newly opened shopping complex. Not a big one but as always lots of cafes and restaurants.

I find it amazing how many good cafes and restaurants they have in each shopping complex. All with comfortable seating and good service. No wonder so many tourists pick Bangkok as one of their choice destinations.
