Ladies, beware! Once you are in Bangkok, make sure you bring CASH only! Put all your credit cards in the hotel or anywhere safe, just don’t bring them along. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
It is a shopping paradise in Bangkok, I tell ya. There are so many malls in Bangkok that I cannot possibly list them all down, in contrast, I will just specify one mall here in Bangkok for your reading pleasure – Seacon Square in Srinakarin Road.
This is the view of Seacon Square outside the building.
Imagine walking from one end to the other end! KL’s Midvalley Megamall is nowhere as MEGA as this one. It is like (Golfers will know this) walking 4 x Par 4’s and 2 x Par 3’s in one floor alone! And there is 6 storey, so you are actually walking 24 x Par 4’s and 12 x Par 3’s! Better to walk in Seacon Square than playing golf!
This is the view on the top floor
And we are talking about only the East Wing! Then there is Center wing and West Wing. Phew, talk about shopping!
On the top floor, they have a EGV cinema featuring 12 cinemas. The seat, in my opinion also beat any cinema in KL hands down. Look, they have Honeymoon seat, Premier seat, Normal Seat and they even have Toilet Seat, (Nah , just kidding!) Honeymoon seat comes in couple, so if you were to go in alone, you have to buy two tickets because they come together. And then people will stare at you one kind coz most of them goes in as couple.

The promotion was so hot here that they even give you a free James Bond T-shirt when you buy a dozen of Heineken complete with cooler box (Talk about good deal!) , all for 699Baht (About RM69.90). And these Heineken are tall ones, not those normal ones, OK?
Then they have a HUGE Yo-Yo land for kids. You can spend almost the whole day there playing there with your kids. And there is a Fitness First gym and it is HUGE! I found that Thai’s are as healthy as Malaysians and most of the working people use to workout after office hours before going back to avoid the jam. Very Stylish, in my opinion.
Then on the other side there is a Food Court. Need I say that this is huge too? You just go there, purchase a coupon for say 200Baht and the value is stored in the card. Then you buy whatever food you want to eat, pay them, they will swipe the card and off you go. The balance will be return to you in cash at the counter. The good thing in Bangkok is that, this system is used everywhere inside any mall. No cash is used at all. I found it convenient coz there is no long queue. These comments was also made by my relatives when they came here.
Then if you do not want food court, there are so many spoil choices for you. American = Sizzler, Japanese = Oishi, 8 Ramen, Fuji, (And LOTS of people queue up at FUJI!) Thai Food, Chinese food, Italian Food, well almost anything that can be eaten. They even have Secret Recipe in Bangkok too! Sometimes when I crave for Nasi Lemak, I will be there, but it cost me $#@!#@$120 Baht (RM12) for one bloody Nasi Lemak!
I personally like the beef meat and the wanton mee here
Noodle Beef, yummy. My favourite.
Of course, sometimes, I still crave for Menglembu Wantan Mee in Ipoh but on an empty stomach, anything is good.
Toilets. Ah…toilets here is mostly cleaned. The cleaners do the cleaning most of the time. In fact, every time I pee, there is always some “Ah-Soh” , mopping the floor. Dunno she is there to “Gap Yeh” – peek in Cantonese, or not, but there always is someone. And you know what, some places even have people massaging your back when you are facing the wall and doing your business! I am telling the truth!! At first, I don’t know and I got a shock! I press myself so close to the wall that my “…” almost drill a hole on the urinal pot! Please don’t touch any part of me when I am peeing, OK? I am not used to it! I saw some people just enjoying it, sort of like finishing his job at the same time…I dunno.
I know the service here is good, but please….next thing you know, they are helping you to support your “----“ during pee-pee, so all you just need to do is look at the ceiling with your hands at the back and relax. Haha.
Well, these are all on the top floor only. The rest of the floors are filled with goods and products to sell. Anything. And I mean anything! As I said, you can spend the whole day shopping in Seacon and still cannot cover it. Once, I got lost inside the building that I can’t find the way out. In the end, I ask the toilet “Ah-soh” without extra service, no thank you. I’d rather massage it the traditional way on the second floor. I think I will cover massage in my next issue. Hope you enjoy this blog.
Duuno if Heineken will award me a draft of beer or not for appearing in this blog? Yeah, right, they probably give you the gun!
