The multi-storey MBK (MahBoonKrong) is probably Bangkok’s most legendary shopping mall. Eight floors packed with two thousand shops that sell everything from clothing, fashion accessories, handbags, leather products and luggage to furniture, mobile phones, electric appliances, cameras, stationery and DVDs. It is not as up-market or stylish as Siam Paragon and Siam Center, but it offers a mind-boggling range of goods spread over 89000 sq/m. and is considerably less expensive.

How to get to MBK Shopping Mall

Take BTS SkyTrain Silom Line and get off at National Stadium Station (W1) or take BTS SkyTrain Sukhumvit Line and get off at Siam Station (CEN), 10-minute walk.

MBK Shopping Mall Review

I have never heard of MBK Shopping Mall and my pretty Thai friend insisted that I had to go so we went there together after our dinner at Siam Paragon. MBK is too big and little confusing for me, I still prefer Pratunam or Chatuchak market for cheap clothing and I do not think I will go there again.

A Mail to My Mom on Mother’s Day

Dear mama,

Happy Mother’s Day! I’m sorry that I couldn’t be with you in this special day. You know how much I miss you and I know how much you miss me too. So I decided to send you this email. It’s hard to find the words to say how much you mean to me. I don’t tell you this often enough, but I really love you. You’re such an important person in my life. I’m so lucky to have you.

Even though I might not say, I appreciate all that you do for me, more than you know. I will never find someone like you who loves, prays, cares and worries about me more than I do. You made me understand that some of the best things in life are worth waiting for. Through all the stages of growing up, you place trust in me, you let me do whatever I want to. You support me in every way. You comfort me in the coldest night with the warmth of your embrace. You give me strength when my life sours. You hear my every heartbeat. You see my every smile and tear. Right from the beginning, you are always there and I know I can never repay you no matter how hard I try.

Without even realizing it, you taught me a lot of things. You mean the world to me. Only a heart as dear as yours would give so unselfishly. No gift on earth is greater than you. No love is greater than your love. No treasure held above. Thank you for giving me the freedom to be who I am. Thank you for showing me how to appreciate life and to find happiness in whatever comes my way. Thank you for holding me close when I need you the most and never let me go no matter how hard the situation is. Thank you for always being there. Thank you for all the sacrifices you’ve made. Please know that they don’t go unnoticed. Your love warms and protects me. Thank you for everything I am today. If it wasn’t for your love and care, I don’t know where I would be.

Do you remember the first flower I gave you was a rose instead of carnation? You said roses are for lover. But to me, mama, you are the one, only you. That’s what the rose meant for when I was 8 years old. Now, you are still the one, you’ll always be the one. Mama, I’ll be a good girl. I’ll be a responsible adult. I’ll be kind and fair. I want to be like you. With you in my life, I’m blessed. You’re the very best. And just how much I owe, please know that I’ll always be there for you too. I will always there when you need me. I will walk with you miles and miles tirelessly. Please stay young, healthy and beautiful. Though your hair turns grey, your skin wrinkles, I will never leave you, because I will love you, forever. Nothing can separate me from you. I Thank You and I Love You, mama.

Dad, I Love You too. haha

Yours,
Chen
