I have just returned from one day shopping trip to Siam Paragon. The idea was to impress my new 18 years old Thai boyfriend. I am not sure that I have succeeded but this is not the point. The point is that IMHO Siam Paragon can give one a good impression of the current economic situation in BKK. Contrary to my expectations the mall was bustling with both locals and tourists and I was there just on pretty mundane Monday. With very bad economic numbers, faltering exports, tourists numbers down (definitely felt in Pattaya), drought I can come to only one logical conclusion: the economic gap between BKK and the rest of the country is widening. Perhaps, the analogy with Hunter games is becoming more pertinent but in Thai unorthodox politics BKK that what really counts (at least it always was the case so far).
