The Krispy Kreme Kraze in Bangkok

Thais crazy about Krispy Kreme   

Bangkok, 02. February 2011

After having lunch with Meao’s family, Meao took me to Siam Square which is a very popular shopping area among Thai and foreign visitors. While having coffee at Starbucks Meao told me about the new Krispy Kreme Shop next to Starbucks which opened few months ago and that Thais are really nuts about it. People were camping outside the mall 2 days before the first shop at Siam Paragon opened and until today they are lining up for 2 hours just to get some donuts. Thais became so obsessed with Krispy Kreme that some people got the idea of reselling their box of donuts to those who doesn’t want to line up for hours. Of course with surcharge!

My Chinese New Year’s Eve in Bangkok

Bangkok, February 2, 2011

My first visit in Bangkok lasted 24 hours and for a tourist an unusual visit.  Unsual because I haven’t visit any of those famous cultural attractions like the Grand Palace or Wat Phra Si Rattana Satsadaram. I haven’t planned anything what to do or what to see because my visit had another purpose. I stopped in Bangkok just to meet my boyfriend’s best friend back in College in Brisbane. Meao (her Nickname) studied with Kevin at QUT few years ago. I only know her by hearsay and facebook and after six years I finally got the chance to meet her in person on my way to Vietnam. An opportunity I couldn’t miss out and so I decided stay in Bangkok for a day before flying to Vietnam to meet Kevin in Hanoi.
