We have a little Italian village in Thailand. Did you know that? It is a walking and shopping street in Khao Yai area called Palio. It is next door to the well known Juldis Resort. I went there yesterday.
It is so cute. I don’t think we have anything like that anywhere else in Thailand. There are many little shops and some restaurants. Only one problem – everything is very expensive. It was packed with people (holiday weekend) but I did not see many people buying anything. Mostly people just walk around taking pictures. I had something to eat and that was it. Not sure how all those shops will stay in business with prices like that. Definitely worth a visit though.
Google for more info about it. Lots of people have been posting pix and stories about it, including this one with a map of Palio that shows many of the planned stores.

It looks beautiful. And nice to see you again. Not quite so provocative as the “Me shopping” apparel (not that that was you, naughty girl), but likely much less sticky and better suited to the occasion.

Wow, Little Italy. Anyway, is this for tourists? I mean foreign ones, not local ones, since you said everything is expensive? I love the architectures though.

Anybody can go but I saw only Thai people. Lots of people come from Bangkok so see it. It has become sort of famous already.
