Trips to Bangkok, Thailand, part 2

My 2nd day in Bangkok is very interesting because this is my first time I came to Bangkok. Bangkok is one of the most popular shopping destination in Asia. But there is not many different with Malaysia. Only that I miss Malaysian food. With assists by our friend, Ifni who was studying there for about a year, he plan to bring us to interesting places at Bangkok. He bring us to MBK (Ma Bun Khrong) shopping complex which is a shopping mall packed with shops that sell affordable price everything from clothing, accessories, handbags, leather products and luggage, furniture, mobile phones, electric appliances, cameras, stationery and etc. We just had a walk to MBK plaza cause it's just took about 15 minutes walk to MBK plaza from our hotel that we stayed.

Tourism Conference: 10th International World Joint Tourism Conference, Bangkok
On 13-15 November, I'm attending International Tourism Conference at Bangkok, Thailand. It was great and interesting for me cause this is my first time experience attending international seminar and presenting paper. This seminar was focus on global issues of cultural tourism. I'm presenting my seminar paper title" Cultural, Tourism and Local Community: the Heritage Identity of Karai, Kuala Kangsar". Thought that this seminar will be splendid cause it's involved almost 1000 participants, but it's only about 300 paricipants registered and only about 60 presenting the papers.
