Reviews for Bangkok, Thailand

Switzerland is home for many other things that watches and cheeses; Bally is a high fashion house originated from there, and nowadays found in every continent of the world.

'm a huge fan on Books Kinokuniya, the Japanese bookstore chain usually found nearby Isetan department stores. My experiences are mainly from Singapore -- and unfortunately their Bangkok branch was a disappointment.
