Here’s a really cool blog by one of our clients, Suzanna who actually named her blog after the apartment we put her up in last year! She’s from Malaysia and works as a interior designer here in Bangkok. Read about her travel exploits and adventure, and you can also ask her about our service here at Bangkok Finder. Hehe. Don’t worry, I didn’t pay her anything for this, but I might buy her a coffee though. 
Every mother should be told about Bambi Bangkok - A charitable organisation especially for mothers with young children living in Bangkok. It offers support groups for new mothers, single mothers, women without partners and even has a monthly dinner outing for working or stressed out moms who need a break from their family! I join then occasionally
The Bambi website has all sort of information and details of upcoming events including their fantastic bring and buy sale, monthly working mother’s dinner gathering and a very comprehensive classifieds section where you can buy and sell all kinds of stuff, in particularly baby stuff.
Goodwill Bangkok is a charitable organisation that helps disadvantaged women improve themselves. They offer these girls free English lessons, computer training and support in finding a better life in Bangkok.
I have found a couple of maids through them over the years, and they have always proven trustworthy and pleasant. They do not take any commission but rather are just glad you gave one of their girls a chance. Visit Goodwill Bangkok for more details
Here’s a site recommended by my Thai friends. http://www.bask1.com/
Apparently, they have a shop in Pantip as well as MBK. You can check prices online and they are said to be the lowest in Thailand. I need a brand new digital camera so that’s where I”ll be heading to compare prices.
Before that, don’t forget to check out the best review site for digital cameras to help you decide on a brand and model. www.dpreview.com
