36 Hour in Bangers!

On our way home, Mr. LaPoo and I spent a quick 36 hours in Bangkok.  Very quick, since about 18 of those hours were spent sleeping.  Here is my photo diary of the day!

We'll begin with the lovely "mini bar" in our room at the Rose Hotel.  This consisted of snacks, some liquor and flavoured condoms of course!  This is a slight tip off to the quality of the hotel.  Actually the rooms were fine and definitely clean.  Nothing amazing though.  The best part of the hotel, by far, was the lovely pool area!

Our Bangkok brekkie...

Run in with real life Thai School Girls!  Those of you that know me, which, let's face it, is probably all of you, know how much I LOVE a good Asian school girl!  And one of these had a cutie little Harrods bag with her. I asked if she had been, to which she replied, "My father."  Fabulous.

Next we took a ride in a Tuk Tuk to the nearest mall!

 

Got our shop on BIG TIME at several different malls.  I found these two adorable necklaces for the equivalent of 20 pounds!

 

At the same mall where I got these necklaces, Mr. LaPoo and I also discovered a great Thai brand called Viera by Ragazze.  I bought some adorable white leather sandals and the Mister got a cooler than most leather portfolio case.  One store in particular, however, completely stole our attention for at least a good two hours.  It was called D&O shop, for Design and Objects.  A super cool open stall in the Gaysorn shopping center with home and fashion items from established and up and coming Thai designers.  Read the below if you can - it's super cool! We pretty much bought out the store. Suprised? Me neither. 

 

We also visited the food court at Siam Paragon Mall, upon our friend Dave's suggestion.  It was AMAZING.  I was mesmerized by the giant fish tanks, bright colours, uniforms, international foods and fashion statements that surrounded me. 

 

We even found a cupcake cafe!  Who knew that craze reached as far as Thailand! 

We really just needed a snack at this point in the day, so opted for some Japanese, we think, fish balls to tide us over 'til lunch.  As Mr. LaPoo said.  Nothing refuels like fish balls!

Lunch was at Soi Polo Chicken - fried garlic chicken, salad and a pork dish! All finger lickin' good! NO GREAT!

Later in the afternoon, Mr. LaPoo and I treated ourselves to his and hers Thai massages.  I mean you can't go to Thailand without getting a cheapy massage.   These actually weren't AS cheapy as we could find, but we decided to spoil ourselves at the spa at the Grande Centre Point Hotel.  Best decision EVER.

We finished off the day with some more amazing food and drinks...

 

....and maybe a little something from the minibar!
