Get yours nails done in Bangkok

Because it’s so cheap (starts from 200 THB), it’s everywhere, there are so many independent vendors. Many girls in Bangkok do this because it’s so cheap, easy and fun. You can do lot of crazy nail styles and drawings, like putting fruits, or fake diamonds, drawings. The vendors will customise a lot for you for each nail because for them it’s like drawing and making a small piece of art which you can Instagram/TikTok it coz it’s photogenic. And they last for weeks so you can still show them off after you’ve left Thailand.

What to Buy in 7-11 Thailand

If you’ve been to Thailand before you’ll know that 7-11 is the go to place for a lot of the Thai Population, so much so that the Thai Family who own’s the company are the richest in the Country. And you’ll probably have used 7-11 as a hideout from the hot weather and for some hygienic fast food.

Here’s a few items you might want to try from 7-11 Thailand whilst you can

Grilled Sandwiches/Cheese Toasties – These are easy to find, they’re hanging on up in the fridges. When you go to check out the cashier will ask if you want it grilled, they might say “Lonn Mai?” (ร้อนมั้ย – Do you want it hot/heated?) or “Oun Mai?” (อุ่นมั้ย – Do you want it heated?). You can answer by saying the adjective “Lonn” (ร้อน – Hot) or “Oun” (อุ่น – Heated), to confirm that you want them to do that for you now.

Traditional Thai Food in Ready-Made Format – In the fridge isle you’ll find lots of ready made meals, which are traditional Thai dishes, you’ll also find some Thai Versions of western and other Internationals foods, like Spaghetti, Sushi etc. This is a great way to try you taste palette at some Thai food with spending too much money and without having to worry about food hygiene issues. So try a few different things and see how you like them, a lot of Thai’s eat this for breakfast/lunch/dinner so you’ll be eating what a lot of Thai’s do also.

Again when at the cashier they will ask you “Wave Mai Ka?” (เวฟมั้ยคะ – Do you want it Microwaved?), and you can answer “yes” by using the adjective “Wave” (เวฟ – Microwaved please), or “No” by using the Thai word for “No” which is “Mai” (ไม่ – No).

Shopping in Bangkok

For fun and cheap shopping it’s the Night Markets that you want, like ChatchuJak Market, Siam Square, and other Night Markets.

But if you’re a Girl who likes called Air-conditioned places, middle class shopping experience then it’s the big and famous malls that you’ll want like, Icon Siam, Siam Paragon, Central World. There’s also a lot of restaurants, Food Courts at these Malls, and they usually have small indoor markets where you can still catch some bargains whilst there.

Sight Seeing (instagram spot)

There is endless sight seeing options for you, but one that we would recommend is Wat Arun, the site of the old capital city, seated on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. It’s very Instagramable, tourist friendly, and has a lot of historical significance for Thai Culture, so it’s worth a quick visit if you’re short on time.
