Bangkok is famous for many things, one of which is the absurdness of its shopping malls. We decided to spend the day inside the A/C and visit MBK, one of the biggest, and best known for for its tech selection. MBK is great because they bring the outdoors inside: the basement floor includes market vendors and bargain prices. The upstairs includes a food court with foods from around the world (even Chicago was featured!) and areas for thai cultural events. We got to watch girls in traditional clothing make dessert cups (we then got to try them!)
That evening, we met my friend Jenna for dinner on the Wine Connection patio. Wine Connection is a favorite spot of ours because it is close to school, my apartment and has great deals on wine. Wine is usually very expensive in Thailand because it's all imported, so it's great to have a cheaper option.
After dinner I took Candace to a favorite going out spot of my friends and I, Bombay Blues. It's an Indian Restaurant with a swanky vibe- tables are close to the ground, seats are floor pillows and shoes are left outside. Although we happen to love the place, Candace didn't seem to think it had quite the same appeal. The best part though? Taking Candace on her first motor bike ride. We managed to get a two for one deal, so Candace got to be sandwiched between me and our thai driver while enjoying the sights and sounds of Bangkok nightlife.
