» For the first time ever, heel fanatics will be able to buy themselves a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes for approximately 62 baht. That's a crazy good deal, considering how a pair of shoes from this luxury high-end brand should set you back no less than 20,000 baht.

» Affordably priced tea pairing returns to Le Meridien Bangkok. Following their previous pairing of a mango-themed afternoon tea and massage, this second edition of the promotion goes rosy by taking on a more pink-toned colour scheme. The Rose Afternoon tea set is priced at 1,700 baht, which is slightly higher than the previous mango set, but considering that you get a tea set as well as a 45-minute rose oil massage for two, there isn't much to complain about. In fact, the upcoming festive (and gold-flanked) pairing they've got in store for the end of the year is likely to increase in price too, so don't miss this deal.

This year, it's Baan Sansiri Pattanakarn, where resplendent white houses (all lakorn-cameo worthy) have been erected on Pattanakarn 30. Inspired by the Regency era, much of the design aesthetics on these 37 rai of land will be derived from what is considered the golden age of arts and culture in 19th-century England.
