1. This was your go-to place for a solid meal...

Then it closed down.

 

 

2. But you're glad you still have the original Inter...

And Seefah, of course.

 

3. When you heard they rebranded Digital Gateway as Center Point of Siam Square... 

I mean, seriously? 

 

4. And you be like, “Back in my day Center Point had Lan Nampu not camera gadgets”... 

And it was totally your daily rendez-vous.

That and Dunkin' Donuts.

6. DJ Siam was like your music institution... 

 

But you'd spend hours in Doreme searching for these...   

 

7. You still have one of these hidden somewhere in an old wallet...

Before all those Japanese sticker booths took over. 

 

8. Happy Berry, Landme and Kinky were the only Thai designers you bought...

While dreaming of the day you could afford Issue and It's Happened to be a Closet...

 

Keep dreaming, hun. 

And your fashion-stylist-to-be friends were over at Mutation shopping for vintage.

 

 

9. Ain't nowhere like Bonanza before the renovation filled it with nail and hair salons... 

And the B199 shoes on the second-floor were the bomb, am I right?

 

11. You’d be so cool among your group if you got to drink at To-Sit...

Even though you'd rather be drinking cha nom kai mook from these.

12. Canton Suki's roast duck was wayyy better than MK's.

 

13. You discovered the original Baan Ying through your friends who ditched your high school for Triamudom.

And killed time at Be Trend.

 

15. You went to The Brain, GSC or Enconcept before the tutoring hype moved to Phayathai. 

 

16. Getting a rebonding at Art Hair or a Korean-style cut at Chic Club was a must.

 

So you can be like #wokeuplikethis

 

 

 

17. Your first time at the movies was at Scala, Siam Theatre or Lido...

And yes, Lido's khun loong usher still looks like this...

 

18. After 2011, you prayed that nothing would happen to the remaining two cinemas...

No more. You're gonna have to go through me.   

 

19. Even though you discovered that the SF movie tickets at MBK were even cheaper!

And you still don’t.

 

Hmmmm... still nothing.

 

24. Your friends all queued up for these in Soi 3.

 

25. The egg tarts at Ka-nom were the bomb. But when you look at it now...

Good times...

 

26. At least one of your exes took you on a classy date here...

But you're glad it doesn't exist anymore. Bad times...

 

27. You don’t really go to any of these places anymore...

Nor Somtam Nua. Because it’s just everywhere now.

You probably will after reading this.

 

28. But you know no matter how many years go by, there will always be a special place in your heart for this area like no other.
