Bangkok Trip

Beware, this is gonna be a very very long post. I know is so outdated, I went Bangkok in August and now is already December! Time flies. Still, this trip took me so much time and effort to make it a success, so I must blog about it, I don't care! And I waited EIGHT months for this trip! How can don't blog leh? Okay, I will cut the crap and start now.

Day 1
Our flight is at night (cheap tickets! Ugh), so we headed to the airport around 6pm in the evening. We were early, so we checked in and had dinner at Old Town.



After dinner, we waited at the departure hall. I was so excited (Ya, I know. What a jakun) because I had never took the plane since I was two years old! I know, so sad right? :(

With my cute passport holder Justina gave to me. Don't laugh at it, is so useful that I am so proud of it. Mine will never get mixed up with the others. LOL!

After being friends for nearly 10 years, first time traveling overseas together! Woot!



We reached there quite late and by the time we reach the hotel was already mid night. We headed to the 7-11 (their 7-11 is awesome!) to buy food and then called it a night. :)

Day 2
Since we already did our research, we know Platinum mall is just across the street from our hotel. So, we woke up planning to do shopping first! YAY!!




Girls all dolled up and ready for shopping!!

Free Tuk tuk service from the hotel. Because is FREE, all 6 of us squeeze into one Tuk tuk. T.T

At night, we made an arrangement with the hotel bell boy to go watch the famous Tiger show. I am quite impressed, what a experience huh!



After the show, we took a walk at the night market and headed back to the hotel. Oh, did I mention I love my hotel? Is My Hotel located at Pratunam. I love staying there because is NEW and CLEAN. Is a bit small, but bigger than First World Hotel! Is located in an alley, but it was okay for us because we always take a cab. My Hotel is a budget hotel with modern design. They are simple and neat, most important is CHEAP! Rm95 per night, worth every penny loh!

Day 3
We booked 2 taxis to the floating market which burned a hole in our pocket. Damm! Kena con kao kao kay?!! 800 baht each for the floating market! I wanted to strangle someone at that very moment!!


Free coconut? Of course. I paid 800baht!








They claim the boat brings us not only to the floating market, but the coconut sugar farm and some dunno what temple. Still, so expensive! After floating market, we headed back to the city and the taxis which we originally booked for ONE whole day wanna ditch us! Hell no I am gonna pay him the original price! So we bargained and had the price discounted. Next time, I am not gonna take these conning taxis anymore!!!

We took a stroll along the street and bought food and stuffs from the stalls along. I think we also kinda got lost and in the end took a cab back to Platinum mall for lunch. After lunch, we shopped a little and headed back to the hotel. We all took a nap and by the time we woke up, it was already dinner time! This time I had dinner at the hawker stalls along the road. YUMMY!





After dinner, it was raining like cats and dogs. We got on to a taxi and he brought us to a night market where locals usually visit. At there, we found this little mall to stay out from the rain. Since we can't go any where, we did manicure and had a glass of beer while waiting for the rain to stop. It was our last night in Bangkok, we enjoy ourselves to the fullest!

Day 4
Our flight is in the evening, so we fully utilized our time by doing more shopping before leaving. We felt as if we have not bought enough. We need to buy more! We headed back to Platinum mall and shop before our taxi arrive.


The time to leave has arrived, bye bye shopping paradise! *Sob* We went back to the hotel, loaded the stuffs into the taxi and off we go to the airport. Bangkok airport is so damm big, walk until so tired! I remember us going through the custom quite early but by the time we reach our gate, our flight was doing its last call! So lucky we did not miss our flight!









Bye bye, Bangkok.

Well, there goes my Bangkok trip post. I know I didn't write much. Well, a picture speaks a thousand words. :)

If I could, I would love to go Bangkok again!!!
