Over the past week I have enjoyed a mini-spending spree in Bangkok. I bought so many things and you know what? It cost me 10% of what I would have paid in England or indeed, the Emporium or Paragon. And I could have bought ten times as much stuff and still been in the mood to buy more. Why? Well because I spent my time mooching around Chatuchak.
