Dear Bloggie,

I am backie!!

Actually I am back for a couple of days, but then busy and work and I simply felt so tired, so didnt come online to blog. Well, I finally uploaded my Bangkok photos, so I can blog about it.

Anyway, its a damn tiring trip. Think I pushed myself too hard, wanting to cover too many places... And I finally come to know what does it mean by when you are out travelling, you have to buy once you see something you like. There is no such thing as turning back and get it after consideration. Bangkok is really that freaking big that I can get lost in their weekend market. Not to mention finding back that same store (Impossible task...)

Okie, so here it goes...


This is the luggage that I brought to Bangkok. It contains not only my stuff, but also Xiang's stuff... Intend to shop till I drop thus the need of a luggage to bring my stuff back.. hehe~*


At the airport..


The plane we will be taking to Bangkok, CX712


In the plane with Xiang


We are going to spend the next 2 hours in the plane


The plane food. It actually taste pretty good.. And after that, they served us this..


Hagen Daz!!


At the Bangkok Airport, waiting for Xiang to pick up the luggage. He said he like this photo coz its kind of ermm.. you know.


At the Bangkok Airport, waiting for the Airport Transfer to the Hotel


In the Coach, on the way to Asia Hotel


The Hotel Lobby. Actually this 3-star Hotel is not really as bad as we think.

And this is our Room


A nice and easy to remember number ah...









And not wasting another second of my time, I went SHOPPING!!! Coz I was like too into shopping, so theres not much photos to be shown.. Anyway, this is the results after like 2hours.. Not alot I will say, coz I am trying to stock up my cash, for the Chatuchak Market (is this how you spell it??) the next day.



And we shop and shop. and we totally forgot about Dinner. The last meal that we have was on the plane till like 9plus. And all the shops are closing. So we simply grabbed our meal at this place call Chester Grill. Works like fast food, but then they served Grilled and Fried Chicken with rice


Xiang buying our dinner


Our Dinner! Its was really yummy. And I am really really hungry.


In their Skytrain back to the Hotel. I am really really really very tired by then. Cant recall what stupid joke Xiang told me that gets me to smile till so damn freaky...


And this is what I've got on the first day.


My breakfast on the 2nd Day. Actually there's nothing great about the food in the Hotel, but then I cant help but want to post this up as there are hardly anyother other photos of food throughout the entire trip. I was busy shopping and got so tired that I totally lost my apetite to eat. (And partly shop too much till there's not much time to eat)


Xiang's Breakfast. Actually some credit to Asia Hotel, their food is really not that bad. Not really as bad as others describe. On the overall I still fine it "okie".


Off again, but then this time round not Shopping. We went for a half day tour with te agency. Actually kinda fun... Me with Xiang's specs. Somehow, I think it really look awful on me. Its like too big for my face.


Hopped onto the boat for a boat trip ride.


Another photo of us on the boat. The weather is actually damn fantastic. Not as bad as other describe also. Damn windy too, guess thats coz we are on the boat.


This is something like the boat that we are on. There are alot of other scenery shots that we took. But then on the overall also nothing interesting. Went to this temple, and feed some fishes in the river and stuff like that. So I will skipped these and go back to Land.


Okie, we are in the van now and they are bringing us to the ever famous Chatuchak Market (guess wrong spelling again, but then hehe~* I cant be bothered)



Shopping Time!! Not much pictures was taken here too, coz xin is too busy shopping. This market is damn freaking Giantic, that we actually got lost. I was in this 'soi' (some sort like lane) then I bought this bag and another top. That shop owner refuse to give me a futher discount, so I only bought 1 top thou there's a few others that I like and want to buy back for Qian and Andrea. But then, I spend like 2 hours walking round and round and I couldnt get back to that 'soi'. I was damn tired and irritated after that coz its like I wasted 2 hours walking around for nothing...


This is the Pet Section. Its easy to identify this section on their map. But then believe me, on the real thing, this is really not easy to find. I wasted alike another half hour or more to get to this... Look at the doggies, they are damn cute, but then the treatment they get from the shop owners really sucks.


And also these animals, I think they are squrriels..


Tortise...

And after wasting so much time trying to get back to the first shop, I finally gave up and make our way back to the hotel. We quickly bath and pack our stuff, coz we are going down to patpong to see the Thai Girl Show.. No pictures are taken there, coz no photo taking are allowed. But then pretty disappointed in the show, coz there's really nothing fantastic about it. The girls are not really pretty, and all they actually do is the shake abit on the stage, then perform some stuff with their vagina. In fact I find it quite gross...

Well, we left before the show ends coz I think its getting boring. Then we went to the Patpong night market. They sell lots of imitation branded stuff. Some of the quality is actually damn good. But then its also quite expensive. A imitation could cost like a couple hundred bucks SGD. So I bought nothing there.


At the Patpong night market


And this is what I've got on my 2nd Day in Bangkok

Realised that after the Hotel breakfast there's totally no mention of food?? That's coz we were so busy shopping and all that we totally didnt have the time and also we forgotten about food. And another thing is I totally cannot stand the smell of those Thai local food. Those like our chap chai peng that sort. I find the smell damn gross. I feel like puking when I walk near anyone of those stalls. Cannot take it.

So anyway, this is my Lunch/Dinner/Supper..


That ends my 2nd day in Bangkok. Wakie early the next day and prepare myself for a full day of shopping..


All set to leave the Hotel.. Xiang was playing with the timer of the camera to get a shot like this.. Wasted so much time posing for him.. And by then, I am feeling damn tired.


Okie, all set to go to the Shopping Centres.. Took this picture at their Skytrain station... My atire for the 3rd Day.


Their Skytrain Ticketing Machine.. It reminds me of our old MRT Ticketing machine.. Before EZLink come into use.


Waiting for the Skytrain...


My 3rd Day at Bangkok was a Monday. So the Thais are all heading to work. That is around 8plus 9am. And they actually queue up like this while waiting for the train. Damn decipline compared to Singaporeans...

We left the Skytrain station, and walked to the shopping complex. On the way there, there is some construction sites. And you know those hoardings around the construction side, normally they are just metal sheets. But then for this particular one, they pasted this large poster on the hoardings. And it looks like this...


Cute right... But then damn pay sey. Alot of people was staring at me when I took this picture.


This is Bangkok's morning traffic...


After we reached Mah Boon Kong (I think I spelled it wrongly again.. But then, who cares..) we are like an hour early. Even MacDonalds are not opened yet. So we went into this shop which call milk Plus, which sells only Milks. All types of milk...


I was at the counter for a damn long time, trying to fingure out what to order.. They really got too much choices..


Just look at the colors of the milks.. You name it they might really got it..

And this is what I've got. Some Blueberry milk with jelly stuff. It taste yummy!!



Their toast. Cute right?

You order from here,


And you pick it up here...


Okie, after the shopping centre start operation, we left the milk house, and obviously, started shopping. So from then on, not much picture was taken...

Halfway tru, we stopped for a Thai Massage... Its damn PAINFUL ah.. Cannot take it. Right from the begining, I kept telling the lady I cant take the pain, so she alreayd tried to be gentle to me. But then it still hurts like dont know what.. Especially the shoulder part..

Anyway, this is the place..



Me after the massage.. My hair is in a total mess...

We didnt have time for lunch, so by afternoon I was like so freaking hungry again.. Then we came accross this Doughnut Shop..



See the packaging damn cute.


This is the Doughtnut. And please believe me. Its damn yummy. The dough is not like real bread. It taste abit sticky.. Like gultinous is being mixed inside or something.. So anyone whose going Bangkok can please buy some back for me??

After a little break, its back to Shopping shopping and more shopping. So no more photos were taken..

And finally, after 3 days in Bangkok, we finally have a decent meal..

Korean Hotplate!!!

The Sauce you see there is the sprit of the entire meal... Dont think its just some noraml Yong Tao Fu sauce we have in Singapore. Its totally different and its damn yummy!







Haha, we gobble up the food in no time. And we concluded that this is a very healthy meal. Its almost zero fats! Coz they use totally no oil, no marinating on the meat. It seems to cook with the soup, and the meat still taste yummy coz of the sauce!

After the dinner, we walked around somemore, and we head back to the Hotel.

After a long day, this is the stuff that i've got on the 3rd Day.

Funny I bought right.. Look on the extreme left, I even bought the Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce back. And also lotz of cuttle fish (my colleagues requested, they even bought me samples to make sure I got the correct brand)..

And its packing time! His not naked, dont worry. Just that from this particular angle he looked as if his not wearing anything.. His just bring a nice boy packing away while I simply sit around taking photos..





We came with 1 luggage, we went home with 4 full bags.. (Thou I still think we didnt buy anything much..)

My 4th (and final) Day in Bangkok.



The last breakfast we had in the Hotel


On my way to Bangkok Airport. On the way to the Airport, I spotted this along the road. Damn cute..


When we reached the Airport, a long queue awaits us.. Sianz.

After like waiting for an hour to clear the queue, we finaly checked in.

Bangkok International Airport.. Nothing much to walk around, unlike our very own Changi Airport.

So.... Its more photo taking session.

But all turned out to be damn ugly, only this looks slightly better, but then still just as bad.


The plane we going to take back home.. CX713.


The way home is shorter then the way to Bangkok. Its only less then an 2hours..


My plane meal.. The noodles is yummy too.


And this is Xiang's. But then this time round no more Hagen Daz...

Finally...

We are back to Singapore!!

Home Sweet Home!


See how excited are my Bao Beis to see me home..

And this is what I got back from the Airport.. I will open it during the Chalet during my bdae. Read from the tag at DFS, this is an exclusive launch in Singapore Changi Airport's DFS. No other part of the world have this yet.



THE END!
