THAILAND TRAVEL BLOG: SIAM CENTER, SIAM PARAGON, CENTRAL WORLD, BIG C SUPERMARKET AND MY FIRST STREET FOOD EXPERIENCE IN BANGKOK

_{So after settling and fixing our things in the hotel, we headed straight to Siam Center to eat lunch. From the hotel, take the BTS and get down in Siam. It costs 15 Baht each. The station has a link directly to the mall.}

_{NOTE:  Change your notes into coins because the train station here is not like in Manila. It is a self serve ticketing system like in Hongkong.}

So organize and clean BTS system

_{Siam Center has one of the nicest food courts I’ve ever seen. The standard of their so called “food court” is on a different level.} 

_{First, you need to buy a Food Debit Card then give it to whichever place you want to eat so they can debit the amount. If after eating you still have some money left, you can have it refunded.}

_{We woke up at around 6, and immediately we headed back to SIAM square for SHOPPING!}

_{We went to Siam Paragon and its adjacent malls, and walk all the way through Central World and Big C Supercenter.}

One of the many small praying shrines all over Bangkok

The king of all supermarkets - Big C 

_{We went crazy in Big C Supercenter. It’s similar to SM hypermarket. What is the difference? It is a 4 story building packed with so much grocery goodness.}

 

_{After grocery shopping, we walked back to go to the Siam night market, and it’s crazy! The only downside was that it is crowded and hot, the prices are kind of steep and you really can’t bargain that much but the energy in the atmosphere is so high; I didn’t mind all those things.}

Erawan Shrine

_{After all the shopping and walking, we decided to go back near our hotel to eat dinner. It was already past 10pm when we reached BTS Ratchathewi, and a few blocks away from our hotel is a massive line up of roadside street foods. (We actually did try out the entire line up during our stay)}


 

Line up of Street Food

_{Bangkok Street Food is ETHEREAL! The stores are close during the day and opens after 5pm till the wee hours of the night.  The type of street food near our hotel are all cook to order, though I’ve seen some stalls along Pratunam and near the Grand Palace with pre-prepared / already cooked meals.}

_{Let me show you guys our first dinner in Bangkok!}
