This was their first trip to Thailand.
The friend brought them to glitzy shopping malls like Siam Paragon and its famous gourmet market and Emquartier and introduced them to the food culture there.
The couple was totally amazed and impressed to find super high end cars such as Rolls Royce, Maserati and Ferrari showrooms at the mall and the varieties of food available.
It was entirely different from their perception of the country.
In their mind, Thailand is backward and not as developed as Singapore.
