Lovely Krabi 08: Aonang Street Shopping

i wasn’t planning to buy anything

but for the kids and their mom

i.e. my boss

*

and my travel mate

was looking at clothes

and bags

so i just followed along

*

but she didn’t manage to

buy much during day 1

and got hers when

she went out alone

*

well i guess that’s better

since we have different pace

when it comes to shopping

and everything else

so we end up going separate ways

*

but first

during day 1

while i was supposedly

so called companying her

*

i ended up buying

quite some petty stuff

while she hasn’t got any yet

well..

shopaholic pled guilty

i should have learnt from her

*

like how she careful

examined every item and

later said no as

there were some flaws

*

and she was so concentrated

on examining the items that

she forgot to say thank you

to the seller before leaving

*

and a few sellers actually

expressed frustration

because she wasn’t responding

to their questions and offers

*

for me my motto is

just do it

as long as the item is right

and the price is within

your affordable range

*

and i would say that

i guess this pretty much applies to

other parts of Thailand also

*

the items on sale

are pretty nice looking

like it’s not something

you buy for the sake of souvenir

*

some are something

i actually like and

don’t mind using / wearing

*

and despite the stores

are offering similar items

they are different on their own

*

that’s one of the reasons

i adopt the Just Do It motto

you wouldn’t know if

you’ll find the same item

further down the road

*

and some pretty

hipster or pop culture stuff

and there was this particular store

i am almost falling in love with

everything in there

my boss specifically asked for magnet

and please she definitely wouldn’t want

some 3 for 100 baht magnets

and yay

i ended up matching a pair

that i really like

it was pretty challenging

as there were less left elis

moreover for me

street shopping

has a lot more to offer

e.g. cool bikes along the road

i wonder if they actually get to

customize their Fino and Scoopy

because every bike is pretty unique

and something to

drink and eat

along the way

from Family Mart and 7 Eleven

as well as street stores

elephants keychains and owl pouches
