It's the second day! We were meeting our friend who flew all the way from Laos just to see us. How cool was that! We didn't order breakfast at the hotel for this day, so we hopped over to the Exchange Tower to have breakfast at Chu Chocolate Bar & CafƩ. It seemed like THE place to be for breakfast/brunch in the area. The cafe was filled with tourists and locals, and they offer a wide range of menu for food and drinks. We both ordered Eggs Benedict, DH's with smoked salmon and mine with back bacon. The food was okay, we both prefer the Eggs Benedict at the TWG. Latte was above average, but I would not say the best. All and all, we agreed that it was pretty good.

Our friend joined us at the Chu Chocolate Bar & CafĆ© and from there we headed down to ąøąø„ąø²ąøąøąø±ąøąøąøąøøąøąø±ąøąø£ (Chatuchak Weekend Market). I didn't get the chance to visit this Market on a weekend on my last visit so I really wanted to check it out this time. We took the BTS to Mo Chit Station, but the Metro was another option. It was a nice sun shining kind of day with clear sky, which means it was super hot outside. We each had to buy a hat as soon as we got out of the station, except Miss Kiki of course, who brought her own hat from home.
Shortly after we entered, DH decided that it won't be wise to keep Miss Kiki there. Too crowded, too hot, and too boring for her. So DH graciously offered to take her to the
ąøąø“ąøąø“ąøąø ąø±ąøąøą¹ą¹ąøą¹ąøąøąø£ąøøąøą¹ąøąøąø”ąø«ąø²ąøąøąø£ (Children's Discovery Museum)
nearby. They stopped at the ąøąø„ąø²ąøąøąø„ąø²ąøąøąøøąøąø±ąøąø£ (Chatuchak Fish Market) for a picture though....
They arrived at the ąøąø“ąøąø“ąøąø ąø±ąøąøą¹ą¹ąøą¹ąøąøąø£ąøøąøą¹ąøąøąø”ąø«ąø²ąøąøąø£ (Children's Discovery Museum) only to find that it was closed, either for renovation or for demolition. Not sure what. So they headed over to the JJ Mall (ą¹ąøą¹ąøąø”ąøąø„ąø„ą¹).
Meanwhile, my friend and I walked around the ginormous market and browsed and purchased some stuff. Prices seemed okay, not too cheap but not expensive either. Later on though I found out that accessories and clothing items at the The Platinum Fashion Mall (ą¹ąøąøąø°ą¹ąøąø„ąøąø“ąøąø±ąø” ą¹ąøąøąø±ą¹ąøąø”ąøąø„ąø„ą¹) are slightly cheaper, but the Chatuchak Market has more varieties. We had freshly squeezed orange juice, coconut juice, and honey lemon drink along the way. We also had lunch there, chicken rice with papaya salad.
We were so tired at this point so we joined Miss Kiki and DH at the JJ Mall and from there we went back to the hotel. Since Miss Kiki has been crazy about pools lately, DH offered to take her to the pool again at the hotel while my friend and I went to Health Land (ą¹ąø®ąø„ąøą¹ą¹ąø„ąøąøą¹) in Asoke to get Thai Massage. Well luck was not on our side, they were fully booked but suggested that we came back an hour later. Hopeful that we were, we went over to the Beer Garden Sukhumvit 19 for a light dinner and planned to go back to Health Land afterwards. We ordered Tom Yum Goong, Prawn with Garlic, and sauteed asparagus. The food was pretty good, and the spice level was done for tourist taste. That worked out well for us. Unfortunately, we were not able to get any spot at the Health Land after we went back, so that was too bad. We went window shopping instead at the Terminal 21 (ą¹ąøąøąø£ą¹ąø”ąø“ąøąøąø„ ąøą¹ąø§ąøąøąøµą¹ąø§ąø±ąø). In the basement of this mall they had a health food event, and they had some dried food, dried seafood, and some other food on display and for sale. Very interesting. And the dried mango..... my oh my.... so good!
