GAN LAY YONG

Very sophisticated place. A place to shop for brands like Rolex, Shatzy Chen( luxury neo Chinese fashion house); jewellery at Roberto Coin; Hoops station , a basketball specialty retailer; the Chamber for wines and cigars; Balmain , an elegant Parisian fashion house; MST golf premium for your golf necessities; browsing through books, magazines and stationeries at eslite bookstore. After all the shopping, we went for lunch at SHOOK, at lower ground and had a nice buffet time. There is also a CIMB bank at this place.

Not as crowded as Suvarnabhumi Airport. I took an Air Batek flight there and landed at Terminal 1. There are Bank ATMs and money exchanges, Vat Refund counter, Lounges, Lost & Found center, Tourist Information Counters, Amari Hotel, Sim card network kiosks. One can enjoy Thai dishes, as well as burgers and sandwiches, at the small selection of restaurants and fast food outlets before and after Security. One also can shop for wine, liquor, tobacco and chocolates at competitive duty free prices. There are also stores selling jewellery, souvenirs, books and gadgets, Thai snacks,

The hot soy collagen drink is too sweet but the dhot durian coffee is awesome. The chicken rice set tastes magnificent but the Yong tau Fu soup is of poor quality. The soup is too oily and the Yong tau Fu pieces are not fresh and look miserable. The sweet potato leaves look like just being poached in hot , boiling water, taken off and soya sauce poured over it.

Not crowded. There was the usual nasi kandar items. Had curry fish + cabbages + sotong + tea. Convenient for people who had done their shopping and felt hungry

A big, spacious outlet. The air conditioner really helps to cool one down. Different types of sitting arrangement, enough to accommodate everyone who walks in. Many Starbucks items to choose from and take home.
