Bangkok 2nd Trip - Day 3 - MBK Plaza

Destination of the day : MBK Plaza and Chocolate Ville
How to go MBK Plaza : Take BTS and go to Victory Stadium Station. Walk out from the station and MBK Plaza is on your right hand.
How to go Chocolate Ville : This place is at outskirt of Bangkok city. Require about 1 hour car drive. So get a taxi for this.

There is a nice pork noodle shop near the hotel that I stay. Just turn right after going out from the hotel and walk in direction of Double Tree Hilton Hotel. Before you reach Double Tree Hotel, you will notice this shop. I love their fried fish skin. Crispy and won't have fishy smell.

After the breakfast, I took the BTS to Victory Stadium and then walk out of the station. MBK Plaza is on your right. I visit MBK Plaza hoping to make a set of suit with coat here. Unfortunately, the tailor shop say can't finish on time before I go home. Thus I have to give up. If you planned to make suit here, please do it on the first day. And prepare to go on the next day again so that you can try the sample of the coat that they make. The price for a set will cost you about 2000-3000 baht depending on the quality of cloth that you choose.

MBK is a very old shopping complex in Bangkok. It is target market is for lower income people. The shop here sells a variety of things. It feel very similar with Kuala Lumpur Sungai Wang, where you can find a large variety of shop. A good place to hunt for some cheap stuff. The food court offer some nice local thai food at a very reasonable price. I had the shark fin soup here for just 180 baht.

After the meal, have some walk at MBK and notice some nice looking Iphone casing.
But ridiculously overprice.
