[Bangkok] - Street Views

Did you enjoy my guest post on Wed? Those 2 were certainly my favourites for this recent trip. For this last post of the Bangkok series, I'm sharing some random things which I found interesting/cute when I was out and about.

The cables that hang all over in the streets amaze me.

I was intrigued by the pattern on the gate. Fancied the baby blue colour too.

Thought the "う" in "うなぎ" (eel) was interpreted in a cute and smart way.

Look at the tiling on the floor! Resembles a Japanese motif.

Love the illustrations on this coaster.

That's all for this series. I wish I had more but it was a short trip. I hope you enjoyed it. The good news is, I'll be heading to Tokyo (!!) very soon and you know you'll be showered with great blog posts after I return! Man, I can't wait to go!

Guest Posting on Bloesem

Hello, today I’m so thrilled to be guest-posting on one of my favourite blogs-- Bloesem! I’ve been reading Irene’s blog for a long time for my regular dose of beautiful interiors and designs. Love it! So, it is with much excitement that I’m inviting you to hop over for a read of what I’m sharing on BloesemTravel today. It’s on 2 charming cafes in Bangkok! 

[Bangkok] - Audreys Cafe & Bistro

Hi there, as promised, here is the first of the current series of Bangkok post. If you’ve missed it, I did a number of posts on Bangkok previously too. Lots of lovely cafes were discovered and shared! Click here to read them. 

So, no longer submitting to the calls of the malls, I continued in my quest to uncover another side of Bangkok (which I’m really enjoying by the way). Opened for only a couple of months is Audreys Cafe & Bistro which I visited on one of my walks. Stepping in, it became obvious to me that the colour theme is Tiffany Blue (even a drink I later ordered came in this colour!) “Audrey”, “Tiffany Blue”, geddit? Audrey Hepburn and Breakfast in TIffany! The 2 storey space is furnished in European/French style with Chiavari chairs and cozy sofas. I especially love a few of the stools I spotted which were made with old sewing machine legs. Wish I could take these home with me.

Little things from Bangkok + Feature

Hello there! How is your Monday getting on so far? It’s raining cats and dogs over here right now as I type this post. Hmm... it’ll be perfect to cozy up on the couch and watch the Emmys. But I’ve got quite a bit to catch up on since I was away in Bangkok from mid last week till Saturday. Yes, you are right, there’ll be exciting Bangkok related posts coming up. But right now, I’m going to share a few of the cute things I bought on my trip there.


Remember these erasers from years back? I used to collect erasers. Had them in all colours, shapes and some were even scented! Most of the time, I wouldn’t bear to use them.

Glue for craft making used to come in this little container with a cute face on it. I’ll stick my fingers right in and get them all sticky.

Wooden measuring spoons. Aren’t they gorgeous?

These are what I spend my money on when I travel. Little zakka items. Can’t get enough of them! What do you buy when you travel?

Last but not least, a piece of good news to share with you: Cookie Cutter’s featured on Culturepush today! Hop on over for a read :)

[Bangkok] - Miscellaneous

Because so much of colourful Bangkok cannot be neatly categorised, I had to have this post titled “miscellaneous”.

Somehow, we stumbled upon this bookshop cum cafe. It was filled with students from the school next door, eager to fill their ever hungry stomaches with comfort food and also to enjoy the air-conditioning. The furnishing in this place differs greatly from those in my previous Bangkok posts. Here, it’s pretty dated but it’s so reminiscent of 80s american high school sitcoms that I have to say I do like it. For being so unashamedly itself.

Hostel cum cafe which screams south-east asian.

What’s Thailand without chili?

Saw this cute little ceramic while I was seeking shelter from the rain.

So, we’ve come to the end of this series on Bangkok. I hope you’ve had fun. I know I did! Looking forward to introducing you to my new plushie next week. Meantime, have a great weekend!

[Bangkok] - Crepes & Co.

Are you a crepe lover? I am. I love those nutella crepes I had in France. Of course, there’s the unbeatable one filled with ice-cream I had as I thronged the crowd in Harajuku, Japan. Generally crepe = sweet to me.

I sampled a savoury crepe during this recent trip to Bangkok. At a nice place called Crepes & Co. True to its name, they serve crepes with all types of fillings. You’ll be spoilt for choice!

[Bangkok] - Vanilla Cafe

There was a little path leading me inwards. I stepped onto it feeling like I was in a little park but unsure of what to expect ahead. What soon unfolded before me had my heart skipping a beat. Nestled among lush greenery was a cool bookshop specialising in art and design.

Next to it was a cafe that charmed my socks off with its gorgeous interior. With its bookshelf of manga collection and a foosball table on the first level, I almost thought I was in someone’s living space.

Yes, you heard me right. This is in Bangkok!

[Bangkok] - Tuba

Hi there, I hope you’re enjoying this series of posts on Bangkok so far? If eclectic is your cup of tea, you’ll like this place that I’m about to share with you today. T and I walked in the cold and drizzle for awhile before we found Tuba. It was worth the effort because I felt like I stepped into a different world. This place has a charm that is uniquely its own. It was filled with interesting furniture and deco pieces which I assumed the owner amassed over the years. You’ll feel like you’re eating in someone’s home instead of a restaurant.

These tuxs are actually the menus. Over retro music, T and I enjoyed some delicious Thai as well as Thai-Italian dishes. Topped with Singha beer, of course. Yum!
