Bangkok Trip Story~

ahsun: =)

Day 1:

Arrive @ changi airport terminal 1 with debbie and joyce.... joanne also went to send us off to the "Land of Smiles" -- Bangkok!!! Our flight was 1130am....but we're reach bkk like 1230pm due to the time difference.... had MacDonald Breakfast and BK Breakfast set before i board the plane (*ate the macDonald Big Breakfast myself becos i know the two gals will be late for meeting in yishun....) haha....den we took bus 858 to airport and there was some random security check ba....would say it's kinda sloppy checking....anyway....boarded the plane on Jetstar 3k311 and reached the "Land Of Smiles".... after learning previous experience in bangkok....we decided to fetch a "metered cab" to save on the cost.... haha.... there we go.... "Samran Place" again!!!.... located along ratchaburi road....around 5 mins ride to big shopping malls like MBK, Platinum Shopping Mall and so on.... Had a short rest at the hotel before moving off to our first stop.... MBK~~~ Saw alot of stuffs there....mostly electronics as didn't get to go there on my first trip to bangkok.... quite a huge shopping mall....i would describe it as a mixture of sim lim square and vivocity.... haha....also went around Siam Square area and had our first meal -- Swensen Ice Cream There~~ Same place same spot somemore... lolx.... funny man.....how time flies.... Lots of events going around there as well....saw the famous beer brands there - Chang Beer, Heineken, Vodka etc.... Maybe it's King's Birthday on Saturday~~~ Woohoo....so lucky....and the king loves to wear "Light Pink".... went around in taxi mainly for first day.....haha....

Spent quite alot on food and transport....luckily we planned to put aside some money as pooled amount so that transport and food can be settled first.... first step towards financial planning during overseas trip.... set aside essential money for food and travelling around is impt!

Day 2:

Woohoo..... Woke up and ate the great Samran Breakfast.... collected our breakfast voucher @ the counter and ordered Set 1 - American Breakfast~ Woohoo.... Since it's a saturday.....our first stop will be --- ChatuChak Weekend Market.... went there in cab.... and it's fast... lol.... we reached there pretty early....who is bad....as joyce's fren told her bkk shops will start to reduce prices by as much as 50% after 12pm/1pm....so bad choice for us...nevertheless....we went to the area whereby there're more fashionable clothes for us to browse around....haha....since we're more or less familar with the area.... saw some really nice clothes....jeans....and also caught debbie on camera trying on the skirts or something... lol....also had some food by the roadside.... kinda like those whereby thai people will cook and den deep fried into a cup for you to choose....haha...NICE!~ weather was pretty bad over there....hot hot and HOT!!!.... dying of thrist while the two gals are busy shopping for hoots....Day 1 shopping winner goes to -- DEBBIE~

Also side tracked to platinum shopping mall but mostly gals stuff...nothing for me.... bought a jean and some t shirts from JJ Market - also termed as chatuchak weekend market.... heehee.... went over to the mall opp platinum to walk around....i guess there's when db and joy bought some bags and mini shorts ba....haha.... dinner near hotel as db requested for authentic thai food....hahah.... ordered a few dishes and the one with the steamboat....NICE~~ Saw some fireworks near MBK previously and while eating.... fireworks was going on somewhere else with live telecast....FireWorks was like FREE..... i dunno how long it went.....i estimated it to be around 20 to 30 mins of fireworks....haha....Thailand King's Birthday leh..... show all the face to him~~~ =) Tried Tuktuk and taxi around bangkok today....

Day 3:

Had a hearty breakfast....set 1 for me again!!! ahahaha.... today we planned to go JJ market and shop till we drop....brought my backpack along as well to stock up all the hoots we got.... but didn't really enjoy it enough....maybe because of the hot weather....another thing is that too many people there le ba....the stuffs over there are ok as well....so after walking for a while.....went back to hotel first....had A&W for lunch before heading to platinum area to walk....got some clothes and bought my shoes over there as well... Happy... and debbie was like striking off alot of stuffs from her list of "TO-BUY" for her friends.... lol.... decided to go MBK watch Ninja Assasin and the show was bloody~~~~ superbly Bloodly~~~ hahaha... and the advertisement were interesting and sometimes....no idea about at all... quite special bah....somemore we have to give respect to the king....while in the theatre.....dunno whether becos it's his bday or everytime???? hmmm.... anyway....after the movie....we decided to take TukTuk back to hotel....

We also went to Suan Lum Night Market as we felt must make full use of the time @ Bkk to walk around ma.... so there we're at the suan lum market.... things were expensive.... but stuffs were somehow different from JJ market and other shopping malls..... did a mini notebook over there....haha... .can personalize the notebook with my own name.... like it alot.... haha....all thks to Joyce for spotting it..... after that....we decided to take cab back to hotel....that's when the drama starts....

We got into this cab (*yellow top) and the driver was quite talkative....trying to introduce some club to us..... kept saying "Spicy Bossy".... Irritating..... then we just played along with him....ask him whether the gals over there are hot or not.... he replied "OK... Gals no Spicy..." we're like laughing our asses off already....who knows that he kept using the corner of his eyes to stare at us as all of us are sitting @ the back seat... haha.... this irritating cab driver....kept on pestering us with his "SPICY..... BOSSY~~~ V GOOD" ... .and the "Irregular Rhytem beats " that he tries to emulate....haha....damn @#$@#$#@ .... at one point even drove us to the club when none of us wanna entertain him already....... Reach outside the clubbing area....he told us to get off and go explore the area....someone from outside open the cab door for us.....damn it!!! but debbie was quick enough.....to reply...."No thanks" to the person outside and quickly close the door....ask the bloody cab driver to go SAMRAN right away.....damn it....it's quite scary and dangerous though.... if u experience it yrself....u will know that kinda feeling when they drove u past small alleys whereby you dunno where are they bringing you to.... but that also became the laughing topic of the trip.... "Spicy~~ Bossy~~ Gals..... OK~~~ hahhaa..." ... not forgetting the spicy and delicious food stall beside the roads....they're great but just need to becareful as there're not regulated....might get stomach ache....eat @ yr own risk.... =)

Day 4:
Last day for us to shop around.....went to MBK.... pratunam area street market and platinum market....had the MK restaurant Steamboat meal.... bought some Mr Tall's T Shirt finally.... and also bought ear phones~~~ haha.....initially wanted to dye hair but chickened out @ the last min as felt that waste of money la.... haha.... maybe will dye ard CNY ba.... as joyce was feeling kinda sick and tired....we went back hotel early and went to pharmacy near 7-11 Store(*Our fav hangout for drinks and snacks.....bought over daily necessity there as well.....) to buy panadol.... ordered food from Samran on our last night stay over there....not bad the food....price reasonable also....haha.... told the counter staff to arrange cab for us tmr morning after breakfast as our flight @ 9:15 bkk time....
