Siam Discovery, Siam Centre & Paragon Mall

There are so many giant super malls here in Siam, its literally amazing how big they are. The three main ones I went to were Siam Discovery, Siam Centre and Paragon Mall. All of these malls were probably about 10 floors or so.

Siam Discovery is a whole bunch of different food places and exhibits sort of thing. Also a bunch of affordable brand names like Adidas and North Face and what not. On the very top floor there is a skating rink, Full size.

Siam Centre is a typical mall with mostly clothing stores. Throughout the mall they play a variety of Asian covers of american music like Adele, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and also Hip hop/ rap.

Paragon Mall is the fancy place. Picture every expensive brand name place and it has its own store in the mall. The food court in the place is literally the size of a regular mall in Canada. Its just massive. Every possible food from all around the world and there is even a supermarket in there too. An extremely oversized supermarket. In the centre there is a department store that stretched i think from the bottom floor all the way to the top. You can go to "The Canal" - a collection of stores and restaurants lining a waterway complete with fish, aquatic plants and escalators.

    Hi, I agree with you! The shopping malls are great! But please avoid The North Face store at Siam Discovery at all cost. They have the worst service.

Chiang Mai to Huay Xai

I've decided that I'm done with Thailand for now. From the hostel we signed up for a mini van to take us to Chiang Kong, the border town for Laos, and see what we could get up to there. We lucked out on the van and got the seats right at the front so we got a whole bunch of leg room. So it was Nisha, Selena, & I and then the rest of the van was filled with 8 other guys from the UK and the driver. This was one of the best road travel trips I have had so far. The driver let one of the guys plug in his ipod so we were listening to more western tunes and we had the most random conversations the whole time. Along the way the first rest stop we went to was part of a cashew nut factory. I was really surprised how big the fruit was and how small the nut you got was. Inside there was a huge room with samples of all different flavours of cashew nuts and of course i tried them all and didnt buy anything. The next stop we made was at the white temple.

Bali - Ubud and Kuta

Bali is beautiful I wish that we could have spent more time there but we ended up getting stuck on gili. To make up we spent 3 nights in a place called Ubud and did a day tour where we saw soooo much. We saw a traditional Balinese dancing. it was really cool cause there was no instruments. The men who were seated all around chanted and made a whole bunch of different sounds it sounded like there was music coming from all around you. They also made the setting by changing how they were sitting and moving around. at one point they turned into a snake that was transformed from an arrow that was shot by the evil king. afterword there was a man who was dressed as a horse danced around on burning coconut husks. i didnt really understand the reasoning but it was impressive all the same. We went to a bunch of different temples which were all very intricate. Harvested some rice with some old ladies who tried to charge me for it after. The s...
