Chinatown Shopping Day

Posted by Jill C. on December 2, 2011

Chinatown has pink banners up saying “long live the King”. Click on the video to play.

Thailand is OK for tourists once again after the floods in October/November. We went shopping along Sampeng Lane and walked to Pahurat. There is a good variety of quilt fabric, especially a lot of pretty Moda fabric. We shopped at China World mall and had lunch at the food court on the 3rd floor. It was a very nice day.
