Bangkok: It crushed the hourglass of time 17/12/2024

Bang Sue Junction Shopping Center is located next to Chatuchak (Chatuchak Weekend Market). You can stroll around leisurely on weekdays. If you ask me what is the difference between it and Chatuchak, I will seriously tell you that it is better because it has air conditioning. There are many clothing stores here selling vintage items, including some band T-shirts from the 80s/90s (there was no concept of cheering at that time) or some commemorative movie T-shirts (there was no concept of peripherals at that time), some second-hand leather jackets, and even some avant-garde designed clothes and pants. Many of them are simply not seen anywhere else. Of course there are also costume jewelry here that are either pirated or have unique prints and designs! The first floor is filled with antiques and jewelry. They were all old, beautiful objects, with the distinctive smell of old wood and aged leather. It was as if the hourglass of time was crushed, and the sparkling sand flowed all over the ground and covered my whole body. Of course there are also many imitations and fakes. All kinds of countries, cultures and styles from all over the world are piled together in a complicated and redundant way, which is unexpectedly beautiful. The next level down has numerous shops with old series figures, old tin robots, trading cards, old cameras, comic book figures and more. Most are from the 1970s to present day. Everything has obviously been lovingly restored and is in very good condition. It will make people involuntarily fall into the strong desire for shopping and cannot extricate themselves. Of course, bargaining has become the most important part of the game. Its charm lies in its authentic and chaotic atmosphere. When you are tired of one exquisite shopping mall after another that is all the same, this disorderly and messy shopping mall with its own historical interest becomes invaluable. I was really excited by the narrow corridors, the piles of goods, and the piles of messy goods waiting to be discovered. It turns out that it really did break the hourglass of time, and then made everyone who passed by spin and jump for joy with their eyes closed.
