Ratchada-Lat Phrao Night Market

My number 1 highlight of the trip was this treasure trove of a weekend night market.

1. Thai youth dominated, awesome. Barely any foreigners, except the occasional white dude. And us, but we can pass off as Thai so.

2. Wonderful vintage galore! And plenty of new stuff also.

3. Cheap. At the legendary Jatujak Weekend Market one vintage dress = 500 THB. Ratchada Night Market = 150-250 THB. Bargain bargain bargain, 110 THB. That's about SGD$5/USD$3 to you. I don't even mean the ratty raggy funky-smelling vintage, I'm referring to brand new vintage.








1. Dim lighting or none at all. One of my cheap tees had a teeny tiny hole. If you're really anal, bring a torchlight.

2. Apparently only opened on Saturdays.

3. Getting there is quite tricky. Because of the many night markets in Bangkok, even taking a cab won't guarantee you'll get to this particular one. Sure-fire way to reach, take the subway, known there as MRT (confusing I know). Alight at Ratchadaphisek station, get out at Exit 2. When you emerge, you'll see nothing but buildings, chill. Turn left, walk straight ahead for less than 10 minutes. You know you've reached when you start seeing a line of parked vintage Volkswagens.


I should probably take photos of what I got instead, but urrrgggghh laaaaazzzzzzy i haaaavvveee beettteeerrr thhhiinngggsss tooo doooo bye.

Get-Away Styles #1

How can I NOT think of holidays?!

According to GAP's designer, Patrick Robinson, these are the must-haves in your luggage.

1) Maxi dress

2) Classic shirt

I love these button shirts for shopping trips because they're easy to change out of and into.

Only one thing though, I have yet to find one that does not require ironing -__-.

3) Floral print Cami

4) Cargo ShortsGAP said they have a slim as opposed to a bulky fit. Really? Hmmm.

And throw in your swimmies, a weekender's tote, lightweight scarf for chilly nights and flip flops.

Heads up, a lot of online sites are having swimsuit sales! My bestie and I splurged on them for our confirmed yet not confirmed holiday trip. Can't wait for them to arrive *rubs palms together*.

I have about one and a half more months to make my plans concrete! When I told my friends I get only 2 reactions: sceptical ones and enthusiastic I-wanna-tag-along ones. For now the sceptical ones are reaaalllyyy beginning to prove their point -__-.
