I'm finally back from my Bangkok trip...now I'm broke because Bangkok is really a place to shop...shop till u drop...i regret not eating good food...=((( massage there is cheap and not too bad as well...=))))
Day1: I reached Bangkok ard 9 (BKK time)by the time we checked in and everything...we had our dinner at almost 11 (BKK time)...din had any good food...eat somewhere near our hotel and it's a food festival...ermm...the food sucks...=(( din had my fill also...=((
Day2: We finally decided to wake up earlier and conquer some places...Went to pratunum wholesale market and they sell really cheap clothes but then they are all wholesale...so the more u buy the better price they will give you...i bought 1 pair of shorts there for onli $2.50 SGD...dirt cheap...our initial plan was to complete Pratunum Wholesale Market and travel to chinatown to shop and have seafood later...however...we completed Pratunum too early and visited Big C because we have a bigger mission...spend too much time on the big mission...in the end...we couldn't make it to shop at chinatown...sooo we had our dinner at central world which isn't fantastic at all...boring...
After dinner...we went to Suan Lum night Market...hmmm...a veri big place selling all sorts of stuff...quite nice...however...the stuff there u really have to be careful...because the first few shops u see are normally the high end areas...as u travel down...u will see similar stuff at cheaper rate...=))
The KTV in BKK is damn cute...they are individuals rooms located either in the shopping malls or the road side...the best part of these rooms is their sound proof is like super duper good...
A nice KTV i found at the roadside at Suan Lum Night Market...=)
After that we went for supper near Central World...it's a nice place to eat...although it's on the streets but they serve great tom yum soup...something u will not have a chance to taste in SG...they serve a veri nice BBQ fish...something u see in those chinese shows..."gu zhuang" shows...where they set up fire by the river and started BBQ-ing the fish...the fish looks exactly like how they look in the show and it tastes fantastic...=)))
Day3: We woke up even earlier because we need to conquer more places...Because i din have a full meal for the past 2 days...i decided to make use of the buffet breakfast to the fullest. After that we proceed with our plan to Chatuchak...A tuk tuk came and offer to send us to Chatuchak for only 30 baht...omg...it's dirt cheap...and the uncle is damn cute...but because they need the free gasoline and free lunch...he send us to some export centre before sending us to Chatuchak...
This tuk tuk is new and Cheap
Chatuchak is really a great place to shop...all the things there are really unique...but too bad they only open during the weekend...and worst is at ard 1 pm it will be super crowded...sooo u need to shop and get everything done from 11 am to 1 pm...i bought super a lot of things there which i really really like...=))) i'm soo happy...but then my colleagues wanted to visit their PETS market...so i'm soo FORCED into it...the market is really gross and cruel...those animals were kept in a small cage...so cramp and warm...worst part is they flick their fur and feathers all around the places...i almost fainted...
After chatuchak and the scary experiences...we went back to hotel to rest while my colleagues went for massage and i took my power charge nap...after that we went to chinatown...hahaha...nothing for me to see...cos they are almost all closed and it's veri scary...it seems like those shows u see where u walk on the roadside and someone will grab your bag...the whole place is selling 2nd hand stuff...and these mums are looking for hair clips for their child...=))
Our dinner was finally a sumptuous one even those it's along the streets...it's those DA PAI DANG...however they sell veri fresh seafood...4 of us finished 10 dishes...how amazing...we are the great eaters man! but the tom yum soup there isn't as great as the one near Central World...but they serve great mussels cook with Basik and lemon grass...it was a great dinner...the one and onli dinner i am full...=)))
We are the biggest eaters
Susan and jessica=)
Thai ppl are damn weird...they eat damn lil and their serving is damn small...that might be part of the reason why i always din get to eat a full meal...
Day4: The last day we are spending there...So we visit MBK...a veri big shopping Mall in Bangkok...we din complete exploring there because i was too bored and nothing entice me...maybe i'm too broke so i dun have the mood...but MBK sell alot of fake branded...saw something that looks real and they have the sign Original but second hand...it makes me think how come second hand looks soo new...sooo i dun dare to get themmm...=(
Den for lunch we had Yum Saap...supposed to be a famous restaurant there i guess...they serve nice green curry...i think having a bowl of rice and their green curry feels heavenly...=))) but they dun serve good tom yum soup...i realise not everyone in thailand u can find tom yum soup and green curry...especially if u want nice ones...
after lunch, i wanted to visit chatuchak again...because MBK is not entertaining me even though it is damn big...travelled all the way back to get this bag which i really really think is damn nice...if CK doesn't want it maybe i will just keep it for myself...hahahaah...=P but it was a bad time to go back...it was damn crowded and it was raining lions and tigers...that's the worst part...soo we are sort of stuck at the place going rounds and rounds...it was damn difficult to get a cab because the area we are staying is the CBD area of Bangkok...it's always jam even till late night...unless the princess visit that road and the police controlled the road...Taxi normally do not want to pick us up...so during the heavy rain we can onli resort to paying a higher price instead of going by the meter...but to our surprise the usual road was not jam...so we conclude a princess just went by...
As it was raining...we can onli go for massage...soo i went to try foot massage...first time massaging...omg! i simply love it...
Our last day was simply wasted because of the rain...couldn't visit the A-go-go party...=(( soo we can only get red wine back to hotel and a-go-go...but it was quite fun too...chatting and laughing in the hotel rooms and trying to squeeze our things into the luggage together can be quite fun as well...
