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
*
not forgetting
some cute things
got this from Family Mart
*
okay done for first half of Day 1
with magnets, pouch, keychains
my niece has a fetish for keychain
but she is not as hard to please
so i got her some 100 baht
elephants keychains and owl pouches
*
photo in the next post
as i lump my loots for the day
together with those from Night Market
