Palio de Khao Yai – Thailand’s




Once reviewed before, Khao Yai is becoming a very well known spot for everyone to visit and even spend a weekend. The hotels and resorts popping up in Khao Yai is at such an amazing rate that it's really unprecedented elsewhere in Thailand (maybe Phuket and Hua Hin over the last decade).

What many people like doing is going to the different restaurants that follow the European theme, (since Khao Yai is in the mountains), and there's been a lot of booms lately, especially in restaurants and community malls, so i decided to pick up on one of them.

The place is called Palio, which is relatively new and interestingly, one of the owners of this place owns the Famous restaurant in Khao Yai called "Primo Posto", and i loved it, so of course i'll love this place as well, but just on a much larger scale. This community mall has over a hundred shops/stores, including coffee shops, restaurants/pubs, even spas, and all that stuff.

This place is actually pretty close by the famous Kirimaya Golf Course/resort , just on the same main road but before it. The thing is, these types of places have really been popping up and i just want ya'll to help share it and post up ur own places that u've been, i got mine from http://www.tourismthailand.org/7wonders/ so u can check it out there as well.

Hope you have a good time!

Enjoy!

Platinum fashion shopping mall in BKK


I’ve got another shopping spot for you shopaholics!

I just had the chance to visit the Platinum Fashion Mall (once again) this past weekend, and i was very astounded with the varieties of clothes being sold there…all i can say is it was astronomical. The first time i went there there wasn’t much open because it was closing time. But this time, i went during daytime and the place was swarming with clothes everywhere.

I did go there with a mission though, so i did not go through every shop (that would take more than a day) and i was able to get a plain t-shirt with a v-shaped neck (the texture was very smooth and light) for 150baht each, which is just puny. i also got a short for just 250 baht but some shops also sell it at 300-500 baht, just depending on the design.

For the ladies, my friend got 3 different skirts, ranging at around 300-500 baht as well. The designs here are very very trendy and contemporary because the market for the buyers here are around the 15-30 or even 40 age because of the different selections available. Oh, and there are also a lot of nice jewelry shops, especially rings that are made uniquely and not sold because the sellers usually produce it themselves.

There’s a lot more products there, from shoes, bags, clothes (male & female) and just so much more i can’t take in, so go check it out! i got the info for this place from –> http://www.tourismthailand.org/7wonders/ in the ‘06 trends’ section, then click on the ’shopping’ section.

To get there, just take the BTS (skytrain) and either get off at chidlom, siam, or rachatevi station and walk or take a cab, whcih is very close by. This mall is right next to the Central World department store, so you can walk from there as well.


Enjoy shopping!

shop till u drop at Central Chidlom - BKK


Shopping and Thailand seems to always go hand in hand because of the varieties of locations, both indoors and outdoors. The one i'm gonna highlight to today is the famous indoor one. Central Chidlom, which is under the famous department store chain Central in Thailand is worth a glimpse.

Central Chidlom's located on Chidlom Road and is considered one of the upper-end department stores in Thailand. Accessibility is great because it's in the downtown area with the skytrain (BTS - CHILDOM STATION) connecting to the department store or taxis that all know where this place is.

The place is filled with brand names, thai products/handicrafts, houseware, etc. Also, the restaurants and food hall here is one of the highest rated in town in terms of food in teh department store. The "Food Loft" which is on the top floor of the building has countless restaurants that are lined up to serve you all teh type of food in the world. The place looks very trendy as well. From Indian to Mexican food, you can find it there, with theme foods on a monthly basis.
