Week 1: Shopping in Thailand

Malls in Bangkok

Seven Eleven

711 is everywhere in Thailand. Differently to China, most goods are cheaper. I bought some bento from 711, and it was delicious. But the quantity is not enough for me.

Lotus’s

Lotus’s is a supermarket in Thailand. It is a little bit like Walmart in China. Normally I buy some fruits and sheets. It is the nearest supermarket to my apartment.

Big C

Big C got the best bento. Sadly, it is a little far from my apartment.

Foodland

Price is lowest in Foodland. But it don’t accept alipay or wechat pay.

Tops

Tops is beside Lotus’s. It is a little bit expensive than Lotus’s.

Shopee

Shopee is an online service like Taobao. It looks it has it’s own delivery service.

Lazada

Lazada is an online service like Taobao. Some time lazada provides free delivery service for overseas products.

Boat Bus

I live near Asoke Pier. Meaning I can take a boat bus. It is a quick way to go to Siam. Only 14 baht. However, the smell on the river is awful.

Nana District

Previously, I lived in Silom District. Because I like the gyms in lumphini park. I never realized that it was a red light district. Different to Silom, Nana is a typical red light district. They sell sex toys on the street(it was kind of illegal in Thailand). And the ladies will welcome you on the street.

Next week

I will make an app to calculate my cost here.
