Hi ladies!
It's been a long time. Hope you'll are doing well. So, next month I am going on a trip to Bangkok and Pattaya, Thailand. One of the reasons for my trip is to buy make up or cosmetics that are too expensive or are nowhere to be found from where I am living (S. Korea). Do you ladies have any suggestions about what to get there or where to find the best deals? Thanks xoxoxo

I love to shop in BKK. So far I love the Shisheido line. Bought it in Siam Paragon. They even have Shiseido salon and spa. Although I havent tried their spa due to limited time. Also, go to Emporium and MBK. BKK has lots of good products in low price. Not necessarily expensive.

Also, go to Phuket. It's a nice place to see. Here are some pics of my trip way back 2009. Throwback! Lol

Kelly, lol! It was actually a baby elephant. Yes! A ginormous baby! Imagine if it was the dad or mom. Lol. I almost peed in my pants. Lol.

The fish spa was fun too. At first it felt weird. It took me 30mins to soak my feet in the tub. It was sooo ticklish. Good thing I didnt had any cuts or ingrown nails cos that would be painful. They eat your dead skin.

Sarah, first of all, these elephants are well taken care of. They only have shows once a day. Elephants massage is part of the show, synchronized dancing. They dance first then a volunteer will lay on the ground. Then they dance around you and tap your back as if they're massaging it. It's NOT like they literally massaging your back ALL DAY. They have vets local and foreign to ensure the safety of the animals. This has been going on for years and years. And this is part of their tourism. Each country has a unique way of attracting tourists. And as far as I know, their government supports these attractions/parks. It doesn't only help their government to prosper but also for people who work in this. This is a third world country and this is their way of living. So who are we to judge.
