PRE CHINESE NEW YEAR IN BANGKOK

I was in Bangkok for my January monthly trip and while in a supermarket, what I saw really tickled me. The stores there are so advanced and really know how to take advantage of the busy people that they actually package all the required things for you for your Chinese New Year Prayer.

No need to shop around and no need for any fuss, just buy the package suitable for you. See for yourselves....

See, they even supply you with all the paraphenalia for prayers. It really a one stop centre. The display makes it easy to avoid misunderstanding.

Then, there are also ala carte items for those who wants to choose certain items only. There was a wode range of food and other items but I took these photos of the whole chicken and roast pork.

Outside the supermarket, lighted cherry blossom lights on a tree added to the festive cheer. It was actually quite nice.

The next day, I had the opportunity to have this coconut ice cream with peanuts and coconut flesh served in a coconut.

Imagine, this was sold by a motorcycle cart and it cost a whole Baht 3 (about US$1.00). What a treat and it was really good too.

It's all these simple things that makes my trips to Bangkok so interesting.

Until the next time, cheers...
