2. PASSPORT BOOKSHOP
At Passport Bookshop, it is not a normal bookstore. It is a specialty bookstorethat gather traveling books from all publishers categorized by countries on the shelf.
Books sold here are not much different from what we can find from Kinokuniya, B2S or Se-ed; but its packaging does. Instead of wrapping the books with plastic cover and packed them to the plastic bag, this shop use the simple brown paper to wrap the book and stamp the shop logo on top of the packaging.
Communityof people who has the same passion in travelling and exploring the world is built here. At the time the shop open, there were some bike riders waiting in front of the shop. Coffee & tea are available at the coffee shop on the second floor to facilitate community building. Decorative items around the shop are from the community to communicate to each other through the message stuck on the announcement board and postcards traveled from all over the world to stop here.

4. Ka-Nom-Beung-Bo-Ran (Mae-Pra-Bha)
After we have the meal, let's walk a bit further to try our traditional dessert. The shop has been opened since World War II. I came across to this place and wondered why many people were in queue to buy these sweets. No hesitation, I was in the line immediately I really wanted to try it. Finally, it is worth to wait. The crispy thin dough coated with slight coconut sugar and a little dash of another thai sweet (Foi-Thong). The taste is really good. I recommend you to buy more than 1 pieces since 1 is never enough.
