Cute Cafe Shops in Bangkok - Matchbox / Pink Planter Cafe

I'm on a mission to visit as many cute cafes and stores as I can in Bangkok and I'm loving this trend of every cute shop having their own cute cafe. Last month I shared with you one of my favourite hidden gems so I thought this month I would share a slightly more popular place in Thailand but although these stores can be found in quite a few malls around Bangkok it's location in Siam Square is the only one to have its own cafe.

Matchbox call themselves a multi-brand store as it's exactly that you can find everything here from clothing from independent Thai designers to make-up from international brands like Limecrime. Prices can vary depending on the brands but there is a wide variety of choice to suit all styles, they also host sales and have special offers there quite frequently so it's worth following them on Instagram to keep up to date with them and what's happening.

Pink Planter Cafe is unique to Matchbox's Siam Square store and is one of the most aesthetically cute pink cafes I've ever been to which of course meant I had to order the pinkest drink on the menu! They also serve desserts to and after seeing it all over Instagram I was hoping to try out their ice cream candyfloss burger but unfortunately they had already sold out that day, but I'll definitely be back to try it another day! Pink Planter also does different collaborations with different dessert shops every few months and changes up their menu, so every visit will be a new experience and just like Pixie Dust Cafe they also host Kpop events so it's definitely worth checking in there after a hot day of shopping.

Whats the cutest cafe you've ever visited?

Chic & Sporty Wishtlist from Rosegal

Rosegal is a great store with so many different items at great prices that I thought with my birthday coming up and my wish to start working out and getting fit again that I would check out what sportswear they have to offer and put myself together a cute little outfit, because looking good is a great way to motivate you to feel good!

♥  Baseball Cap - I like to wear a hat when I workout as it keeps my hair (and my sweat) out of my face and this cap made me giggle, the perfect motivation to work out.

♥  Hoodie - Hoddies are my favourite thing and I've been wanting to get myself a red one for a while this one is so cute and perfect to wear whilst working out.

♥  Jogging Pants - So these might not look practical for working out but they're baggy so give you room to move and the zip pockets are great for keeping your belongings safe whilst you're bouncing around

♥  Sneakers - Because you need the right shoes to work out in and these look super chic and super comfy!

What motivates you to workout?

Love & Hearts

GOT7 Birthday Wishlist - Gifts for an Ahgase

It's my birthday in a few days so the perfect time to treat myself right!? I'll admit right now I've gone a bit crazy with the GOT7 merchandise already this year and I probably should cut back but there are so many more cute things I want in my life, pretty much all my money goes on these 7 boys now be it on food, clothing, concerts, club membership and everything and anything else they endorse with their faces on and although I have a lot of stuff already I still want more, so here are a few things I've had my eye on recently.... 

♥ 3rd Sibling First Edition Double Hoodie - If you didn't already know 3rd Sibling is a brand created by Mark Tuan's sister, who's created some really chic designs with beautiful meanings behind them. I absolutely adore this hoodie in particular as it's completely my aesthetic but I would totally wear any of the designs they're selling and I'm all for support the people who support my boys and helping their dreams become a reality.

♥ Jackson Eyes On You World Tour Pin - Whilst I was in the merchandise line for the Bangkok concert earlier this year I watched as every pin sold out, these were the one thing I really wanted to buy more than anything else that day and I hoped I would at least get the "Eyes On You" Tour pin but that sold out moments before I reached the front, how sad! But I'm hopeful if I can't get them all I'll at least get Jackson.

♥ Ahgabong Enamel Pin - I love this pin not just because it's an ahgabong but because it glows in the dark!! It would be the most perfect addition to my little ahgabong collection.

♥ JB Chicken Doll - GOT7 fans are just so talented and creative and there's so much amazing fan made stuff available that I had to share this one that caught my eye because it's just so cute and hilarious. It's one of those things that only Ahgase will really understand and I love it and need it in my life already! Oh and JB actually has one!

♥ Ahgase World Tour T-Shirt - This design is just so beautiful and I think this tour will forever have a special place in my heart. I've grown to love these boys so much and they're a big part of my life now, we've achieved so much, been to new places, grown and made a bunch of new friends along the way. Seeing this design is like a happy memory of everything positive that's happened to us this year and the year isn't even over yet!  

♥ GOT7 Gotoon Baby Figures - If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen my Jackson and JB figures which I love taking photo of in all the places that I get to visit, I literally take them everywhere with me and I would love to get a whole set of them to take out and photograph in different places, they're just so cute!  

♥ Ahgabong LED Ring - This was one of the items I was hoping to get when I saw them in Japan last year but it was unfortunately already sold out when I got there and it can be difficult to get Japanese merchandise if you're overseas but hopefully one day I'll get one as it'll be the perfect accessory to wear to all their concerts.

What's on your birthday wishlist?

The Erawan Museum - Bangkok - Thailand

I'm always asked what places there are to visit that are not commonly known to tourist in Thailand and The Erawan Museum is always my reply. Honestly, living in Bangkok,  I've never really done the tourist thing, I've yet to visit Wat Pho, The Grand Palace and Wat Arun but as The Erawan Museum is quite near to where I live I've made a few visits there and I frequently pass the huge three-headed elephant on the highway, but seeing it up close is a must!

Even seeing this huge elephant from the highway doesn't quite prepare you for how huge it actually is up close, this massive sculpture is 29 metres high, 39 metres long and stands on a 15 meter high pedestal, so yeah... it's big! The Erawan Museum was created by a late Thai millionaire to house ancient artifacts from his collections for visitors to come see, he's also the one responsible for The Sanctuary of Truth and the nearby Ancient City which are places recommended visiting to.

Inside the elephant houses the museum which is decorated with antiques and statues that reflect the story of life and the cosmos, there's so much detail put into the staircase alone that will amaze you, you really need to take some time to look at it closely to appreciate it, it's such a beautiful and vibrant place.

As you journey through the elephant towards it's head you really realise just how huge it is, there's a window in the belly of the elephant which you can sit next to and look out of and then you realise just how tall it is. The head of the elephant contains antique Buddha statues and so peaceful and serene, it really is such a beautiful way to display these ancient relics.

Surrounding the three-headed elephant is a beautiful garden full of statues of mythical creatures and of course more elephants, it's a great place to just sit back and relax from the hustle and bustle of the city, there's also a cafe there where you can buy food and drinks should you need to cool down. So if you're looking for somewhere in Bangkok to visit that's slightly off the tourist track I really recommend The Erawan Musuem and maybe pairing it with a visit to The Ancient City to, it's easily accessible by Skytrain and taxi so be sure to check it out if you're in the city.

Summer Shopping @ Zaful

I recently decided to clear out my wardrobe so decided to check out Zaful to pick up some new items to wear on my trip up to Northern Thailand. Zaful have a great selection of fashionable women dresses but as my summer style has been drifting away from the usual top fashionable dresses I decided to pick up some cute tees instead.

One of the things I love most about Zaful is just how diverse their selection is and as my style is gearing more towards the chic and sporty vibe there are some affordable sport items you can select for really great prices, which are so comfy not just for sports but for travelling to.

Zaful is one of my favoerite online stores and their service is always quick and excellent and they're always quick to respond to any problems you may have. Zaful unconditional refund with quality, non-received, size Issue within 24 hours which is great service should you need to get your problem resolved quickly, so I totally recommend them and if you're looking to place an order soon check out the discount codes at the bottom of this post.

Love & Adventure
