Part 3: Main Activities - Shopping & Eating
Day 3
One word: shopping. We trawled through Amarin Plaza, Gaysorn and finally CentralWorld. Like VivoCity, CentralWorld was so huge, we didn't even manage to finish shopping half of it before closing time.
It was a Saturday night, so we decided to go to Brown Sugar, one of the most popular jazz bar and restaurants. It is "one of Bangkok’s first and still one of its better bars for live music and a night out". I was glad it lived up to its name, because I enjoyed myself tremendously that night.
Part of the talented band [taken from upstairs of the bar]. The shining blob of white was the male singer in a tight-fitting shirt, and his beautiful partner was on the right. Both of them loved me because I clapped the loudest from above their heads. I also liked to think that it was because I was one of the few cute Asian females in the bar.
Something of note: when hailing a cab from the streets, most of the drivers seemed puzzled and shook their heads when we told them the location of the bar. We finally took a cab from a big hotel nearby. Turned out, the place was so near to where we were, the cab meter did not even jump at all from the base charge, even when we were stuck in the infamous traffic jams for at least 10-15 mins.

Day 4
We had authentic Lebanese cuisine for lunch at a modest restaurant outside Suk 11. It was a pretty tasty meal.
My beef kebab with very fragrant rice. The beef a little too tough for my liking. I had some chicken kebab off Monet's platter and it was scrumptious.
Delectable sauces to go with anything: (from top) garlic, chili, vanilla.
Erwan Shrine. Where many genuine and sincere prayers were apparently answered.
Bangkok's infamous traffic.
CentralWorld with its glass facade at night.
