Bagkok, Day 3 – Siam paragon & Central World

Headed to the shopping district today to search for G-Star Raw because I was eyeing a jacket from it and it was sold out at the stores here. I knew we had to head to Chitlom, a train station which was near a shopping centre where G-Star Raw was, but the help we got told the taxi driver to drive us to Silom, a totally different place. We ended up stopping at Siam Paragon which wasn’t too bad since it was on the same street as my main objective.

So Siam Paragon is impressive; it really reminds me of Vivo with all the empty space it has but at the same time it has the high end boutiques that ooze prestige. We didn’t spend much time there since there wasn’t anything to do but if we did really want to walk around and cover the whole place, we probably could have spent a whole day there.

So after walking around for an hour we decided to head to Central World. The first thing I noticed when I got there was how empty it was and how each of the shops that greeted me seemed to have displays at their windows that, just by looking, you know they hide in a secret safe in the shop at the end of the day. It’s probably the first time I called a place atas.

But that turned out to be just a greeting, something like how the bougainvilleas welcome you as you leave the airport by road; it’s short-lived and the beauty of it fades off quickly. I found G-Star Raw but sadly, they only had the jacket I was eyeing in print. My next option is to get it online and thank God I found a seller in Spain who’s willing to part with an M-sized one.
