Trip Moments Recommendations
Bangkok Shopping Event Fair
There are always promotional shopping fairs at all the shopping centres on the ground floor. In Bangkok, there are many train lines to go from places to places and avoid the traffic jam. Most of the stations have their shopping malls at the station and also above the stations. It is a quick way of shopping via the train lines. There is a lifestyle event at Chamchuri Square and many items are deeply discounted. Just take note to bring your own shopping bags because it will cost extra for a plastic bag during shopping. Look out for free shopping bags gift away at the shopping malls too.

MBK Center - Bangkok
MBK Center in Bangkok is one of the city’s most popular shopping destinations. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of shops and merchandise available. From electronics to souvenirs, cosmetics to clothing, there was something for everyone. I particularly enjoyed browsing through the small vendors selling unique accessories and handmade crafts.
It is important to know that vendors will give you always higher prices, so keep in mind to use your bargaining skills in every shop.
Overall, I highly recommend a visit to the MBK Center for anyone looking for a fun shopping experience in Bangkok.

Quirky snacks in Cup Noodles Museum HK
#shopandtrip
There are a few cup noodle museums globally, and this one is located in Hong Kong. While this one pales in comparison to the one in Japan in terms of the size of the place and scale of the exhibitions, it is still a fun indoor activity for everyone young and old. The shop sells cup noodles, potato chips and snack fries in interesting flavours such as mala, cookies and cream, and even after dishes sold by well known restaurants such as Pepper Lunch. Some of these items cannot be found outside, and the prices are reasonable compared to those sold outside in convenience stores.
Workshops are also conducted here, with the most popular one being the noodle making workshop. The noodle making workshop teaches visitors how to make the noodle from scratch using the dough, and thereafter the noodles are flash fried. The other two workshops are the granola and cup noodle workshops, in which they will feature the processes behind producing the granola and cup noodles through animations flashed on the table coupled with interactive elements such as having to cut up the fruits the fruit ninja style for the granola. Thereafter, cups will be provided to draw and decorate on using your own imagination and creativity, together with a menu to select your own toppings for both granola and cup noodles, and flavour for the granola.

Luxury🛍️ Shopping in Bangkok🇹🇭
📍IconSiam
🚗You can get there by ⛴️ Ferry, 🚕taxi or 🚊BTS(Krung Thonburi station)
This shopping mall has a lot of wings with the most famous being the luxurious one. The roof, flooring, smell and lighting in the luxury wing is totally different from the basic commercial section. Every luxury Shopper/traveler should definitely head here during their stay in Bangkok.

Shop🛍️and STOP When The Train🚞 Passes
📍Maeklong Railway Market
The famous railway market where the train passes a few inches away from you. It takes more than an hour ⏰to get here from Bangkok . Therefore, I recommend going on a group tour to save you money 💰 and the trouble of getting lost. Be sure to get a good spot at least 30 minutes before the train passes to get good shots📸. Everything costs💰much less than it is in Bangkok, it’s a good spot to shop souvenirs.
Take a tour inside the train when it stops; nothing cute, just an old train but worth seeing if you’ve never seen one before.

Saphan Taksin Shuttle boat terminal
This is a preferred mode of transport to travel between Saphan Taksin BTS to Iconsiam. At Saphan Taksin BTS , there are several shuttle boats, some are complimentary and some are paid. Do not take the wrong boat. Besides going to Iconsiam, there are also complimentary boats to go Asiatique. In Bangkok, the traffic for vehicles is not so ideal so taking the water way is a great mode of transport too. At the same time, you can enjoy the beauty of the famous river and away from all the pollution. The pollution on the river is much less than on the road. This is an alternative to shopping around the shopping malls along the river.
#shopandtrip #bangkok #thailand

A pop up cafe event at the riverfront just outside Iconsiam and Iconlux. There are many food and drinks for sale and you can also shop for their fashion products.

Pretty park with many activities
Bryant Park is located behind New York’s Public Library. This is also my favourite park in New York. It is not as huge as Central Park but it has many free activities. From here, you can have a good view of the surrounding skyscrapers 🏙️ including the famous Empire State Building.
There are many table and chairs to sit around and enjoy the park. During winter, this place is transformed to the holiday markets with many holiday booths.

In addition to fresh lively seafood, there are also some stalls selling cooked food and snacks with seafood as the main theme to satisfy hunger pangs.
Shop🛍️on the Move 🛶
📍Damneon Suduak Floating Market
Shopping🛍️ while floating 🛶in a sampan boat is definitely non conventional but certainly the most fascinating. Don’t miss out on this experience when in Bangkok🇹🇭.
🚌 It is located over an hour away from the city, so a group tour would be ideal for budget travelers to save costs💰.

Bangkok’s🇹🇭Most Beautiful Night🌙Market🛍️
📍Asiatique the Riverfront
Watch the beautiful sunset 🌅 from here, shop🛍️ and then take a dinner boat cruise🚢/Ferris wheel🎡 ; it’s an all in one market. From excursions to Egyptian cotton to Thai traditional clothing/food and Turkish desserts, you can get it all here. It’s also looks like the best spot for sundowners. However, I specifically went for the dinner boat cruise.

Exploring Taichung Second Market
#shopandtrip
Taichung Second Market is a small market located near the Taichung Second Market is conveniently located near Taichung train station. This place is just like the daytime version of the night markets that we normally see, as they have many food stalls, apart from the wet market that sells fresh produce.
Go for the popular stalls that attract long queues, such as the stalls selling braised pork rice. We went to a stall for lunch known for their noodles that come with their homemade peanut sauce, together with their soup with various types of oden in it. We also tried their red tea that only costs a few dollars for a big cup of refreshing classic red tea. The red tea stall also allows you to select red tea with other toppings for additional cost.
Hong Kong snacks galore
#shopandtrip
Looking for local snacks to taste or to bring back home as gifts in Hong Kong? Kee Wah Bakery may be one of the go-to places for such goodies. They have many outlets around Hong Kong, making it convenient for visitors to purchase from them. They sell a wide variety of local snacks, biscuits and pastries such as egg rolls and wife biscuits. Do note however, that these pastries and snacks have a short shelf life, hence it is strongly advised to purchase them only on the last day when you are about to fly home.
American Museum of Natural History is awesome
American Museum of Natural History is an awesome place to visit. You can spend the whole day here as the place is huge. Do some initial game plan first if your time is limited.
Tip-buy ticket in advance and you can breeze through the entrance. Don’t bring big bag as they do not have lockers. The place has 4 levels with different themes. Do visit the Blue Whale (under Ocean Life in Level 1) and the North American section.

Must Shop at Aeon Shinagawa Seaside
Aeon is one of the Japanese malls that I love going to, as it has just about anything and everything! It's the perfect place to do your regular shopping in Japan, from getting cosmetics, groceries, snacks and souvenirs, fresh products, etc. And what's best? It is easy to do your tax refunds/claims at Aeon for tourists too. The aeon mall that I recently visited is Aeon Style Shinagawa Seaside and it was huge.
Within Aeon mall, my favourite section would be the fresh fruits section at the supermarket. Everyone knows Japan produces the best Melons and one can find sweet and affordable ones at Aeon, to buy back home. Some of these melons are even packed nicely in boxes. At 450 Yen, one can get a pretty melon. Tons of Japanese snacks can be found and they make good gifts/souvenirs. Over at the pharmacy, there are japanese supplements and even collagen pills at inexpensive prices, which everyone love. A good bundle of branded shampoo and conditioner set is only 800 Yen and you will be spoilt for choice with their variety of cosmetics and personal toiletries. After all those shopping, head over to aeon mall's food court. The food court is clean and spacious with many tables available. I had takopatchi and a 490 Yen udon set, again it's really cheap for food and it satisfied my hunger pangs. Aeon Shinagawa Seaside is an awesome place to shop, grab good deals and to have a simple yet delicious Japanese meal. Have fun shopping there!

Walking and enjoying food trucks
Central Park is a good place to enjoy nature in the middle of Manhattan. The park is very huge so pack some comfortable walking shoes. There is bike rental options but it doest not come cheap (around $15 per hour). There are many food trucks around here. Started off at Fifth avenue entrance facing the Apple store 🏬 ( probably after you have enjoyed some window shopping 🛍️ along Fifth Avenue)
#shopandtrip
Shopping at Times Square
Times Square is one of the busiest pedestrian areas with many dazzling billboards and advertisements. You will be surprised by how bright all these billboards can be at night. There are so many shops around this area for everyone’s need, from M&M to target, Macy. If it is your first time in New York, come by in the day time when it is generally less crowded and come back again when it’s dark.
