Went to look for a bag in the local mall to pack for trip to villages on Friday. Large concrete monolith overlooking six lanes of traffic on the Phathonyothin Road. Shopping hell. All the major brands were there - Boots, Body Shop, Nine West - you name it. Six floors of designer goods. Took a chance and went next door to Union Mall which turned out to be a shopping centre for the trendy under 25's. A cross between Claire's Accesories and the old Camden Lock except with strip lighting. It's obviously packed at weekends but mid afternoon mid week was bearable. Lots of trendy little boutiques for teenagers, plus make up, false nails and henna tatoos. Also several shops selling second hand bags. Shop assistants too cool to be helpful so had fun throwing the great pile of stock around. Am now proud owner of Le Coq Sportif squashy bag - trendy or what? Interesting that for middle class young people branded goods are no longer enough, they want something more individual, and that includes second hand.

Should be a pretty big contrast to this once the field research gets going.
