Trina On The Move

Bangkok Diary — The Night Before Day Four

Bangkok has started to settle into a rhythm. Tonight was quieter than the first few days. No temples. No markets. No rushing across the city trying to see everything at once. Instead, I wandered into a small bookstore a few streets from where I’m staying. The kind of place that feels more discovered than found. A cat slept on a shelf near the philosophy section while the owner read between customers. I picked up a book and lost track of time. Outside, a thunderstorm rolled through the city without ever reaching me. The air smelled like rain and jasmine. Motorbikes passed. Street vendors packed up for the night. Bangkok continued doing what Bangkok does. Later, I found a comfortable chair in the hotel lobby and finally slowed down enough to simply sit and read. Travel isn’t always about movement. Sometimes it’s about stillness. Tomorrow is another early start. More exploring. More stories. More corners of Bangkok waiting to be discovered. For now, the fan is turning, the city is humming outside, and I’m grateful for a quiet evening before the next adventure begins. Renee called it a night hours ago. According to her, the bed was calling her name and tomorrow’s adventures weren’t going to wait for tired travelers. Me? I’m still too excited to sleep. Tomorrow promises new streets, new discoveries, and another side of Bangkok waiting to introduce itself. I can’t wait. — Trina

Krung Thong Plaza

& Custom Sandals Bangkok Assignment: June 6th – Pamper day Some days are about temples. Some days are about food. And some days are about finding a place that reminds you that everyone deserves to feel seen. After my loc detox and retie earlier in the day with @Bonita_Dreadlocks_Thailand, Renee and I headed to Krung Thong Plaza, a shopping center known throughout Bangkok for its five floors of plus-size fashion. I wasn’t prepared for what we found. Store after store. Dresses. Casual wear. Vacation outfits. Evening looks. Colors everywhere. Not hidden in the back corner. Not a single rack squeezed between other departments. Entire businesses dedicated to serving women whose options are often limited elsewhere. Fat Beauty. Fat Girls. Fatty. Love Calories. The names made us smile. The confidence behind them made us stay. We spent hours wandering the floors, touching fabrics, comparing styles, and watching local shoppers livestream directly from some of the boutiques. It felt less like a mall and more like a community built around fashion without apology. Later we made our way to Make A Shoes. The process was surprisingly simple. Pick a style. Choose a color. Get measured. Wait. For our first pair, Renee and I both chose basic black sandals. Nothing flashy. Just something comfortable enough to test before ordering more designs later. Price? 499 THB. Less than many people spend on coffee and lunch. By the time we left, we weren’t carrying much. Just two pairs of sandals and a few shopping bags. But we were carrying something else too. Proof that sometimes the best travel experiences happen when you follow curiosity instead of a checklist. Tomorrow the city takes us back outside. Tonight belongs to comfortable shoes and freshly retied locs. — Trina What Trina & Renee Wore Today’s Bangkok adventure featured the Women’s Stretch V-Neck Jumpsuit With Pockets — a lightweight, comfortable one-piece perfect for long shopping days, market visits, and city exploration.
