Eh ? Hong Kong got similar supermarket ? I've been to Hong Kong many times but i never come across any Gourmet Market like supermarket in Hong Kong. Perhaps I wasn't at the right place. Where is it ? Wanna check it out next time 
I totally agree with you!!! Taxi at KLCC is the worst. Now they provide this premium taxi service at the entrances and the additional fee charged is such a turn-off 
Bangkok was even more fun back in the 90s. Things were far cheaper than they are now and there were more street food stalls. People were a lot more polite back then too. Not saying that they are not polite now. Just that Bangkok people in the 90s were even friendlier and polite 

Dad brought the whole family to Bangkok twice in the late 90s and both trips were such memorable trips. Then I did not return to Bangkok until last year. Quite a lot of things have changed but Bangkok is still a shopping heaven and it is just such a wonderful city. That is why I already went there 3 times in the past one year. This city has character and it is so culturally rich 

Hi I want to know..for you guys who bought clothes, bags & accessories in chatuchak, how much you usually bargain with the traders? If the starting price for the shirt is say 200 baht, how low will you bargain with them?
Cos I don't want to get scolded like those Hongkie traders. I'm not so good at bargaining also..
