Escapade: The Final Installment:-The road to being Fat part 2
Food..oooh…glorious food! In part One we gain a greater insight into the street delicasies that results in thousands thronging the streets of BKK. In part two, i would very much like to share with you guys my latest conquest !
T his is ” The Oriental Hotel Shop”.Do not be mistaken, for this shop is not within the premises of the world reknowned Oriental Hotel of Bangkok but tucked away on the ground level of “Siam Paragon”, the almost new mega shopping mall next to Siam Square. This shop is very much like a High society shop, with customers that are more atas la.. the angmoh food there is simply sooooooo divine..From sandwiches, scones,pate,biscuits,pastry..its simply heaven!
Beautiful settings and array of colours…
Gooseliver and herb pate and my all time favourite Scones with fresh cream and homemade marmalade and strawberry jam
Good food encompasses 色香味 and that is what you’ll find in this exquisite shop! The decor of this eatery is simply amazing! The price? Okay la..Looks more expensive than it actually costs! Floating above the kitchen area, a beautiful chandelier!
With all the pastries,pate, scones firmly tucked in my tummy..i am definitely happily strolling along the road to being fat and i guess the next best move would be some sensuous exercise…..Gym? Well…Kind Of……
“Health Land” is where you should go to be strong and healthy! Nestled away along the famous atas “Sathorn” road, this is the place to rest your ravaged body!
This is one of the most affordable yet clean and atas place for a good massage.Choose either the traditional thai massage or the aromatherapy massage. The charges are most reasonable but i do advise you to call and make a reservation..they are almost perpetualy packed..
After worshipping your own body, its time to pay respect to the heavenly bodies ..Located next to the Hyatt Erawan Hotel, the world rekowned :Four Face Buddha..
Some years ago, its been said that the buddha descends on every thursday nights thus explains the crowd there every thursday, after eight pm. However, recent study reveals that the time of descend is still on thursday but however,is in the afternoon..But even if you are not a buddhist, it is a site to visit as this shrine, located at the cross junction of chidlom, is very much a huge part of Thai culture today………

to joey,
one of the best location to stay in bkk would be the siam square area..you could try the Pathuwan Princess hotel, which is located right next to mbk shopping mall .Other hotels around the area would be the Intercontinental hotel opp the four face buddha or the holiday Inn which is located right next to the Intercontinental… However, the rates for these hotels are pretty much on the high side as they are located at the prime areas. One of the more affordable hotel around the area would be a hotel formerly known as the Swiss arnoma hotel and also, the tallest hotel in bkk the Baiyoke sky hotel. Recently, a good friend of mine namely the mermaid went to bkk and she stayed in a hotel in Bangrak, which is near to the river/chinatown and they have a promotion of staying two nights get a night free thingy and the hotel boast a restaurant located sky high on the top floor called Sirrocco.. Perhaps you could call Farmosa Travels in singapore for details..Have a pleasant trip krup…

Sawatdee krap!
Your blog is interesting… Thinking of going to Bangkok in the end of the year. I didn’t know that the 4-faced Buddha is especially popular on Thursdays. Will most certainly make it a point to be there on a Thursday. Wishing you all the best in your career!
