Hotel: The Berkeley Hotel, Pratunam (Total cost for 4 ppl: S$634.62)
Day 1
27/09/13
Reached BKK at about 1pm local time. Was approached by the taxi rental booth personnel and we spent 800 bahts for the ride. Kind of feel cheated...
The road in BKK was really really scary. So many cars and they just change lanes like nobody's business. My God! Cars dun lookout for cars and humans. Humans dun lookout for cars too. Had the most stressful 30 mins ride from the airport to our hotel.
We went to the Paragon for some Naraya shopping. We walked quite a distance because we lost our way while trying to get to the MBK centre. Finally went to the mall but there isnt much for us to shop cos it mainly sell electronics.
We went to the Mr.Jones orphanage for some dessert! A cute and nice dessert stores. Crowded with youngsters too. Must-go again next time!
Day1 ended with lots of street food explored. A tired day from the traveling and walking.
Day 2
28/09/13
Went to the Grand palace in the early morning. As usual, tourist place will definitely flooded with u-know-which-country ppl. Avoiding them is just impossible. Thank goodness ppl separate us from them.
And then to Yaowarat for more shopping. Well, in the end we bought more food lah. Back to shopping at the Naraya. Crazy. Lol.
Finally we settled our dinner with lots of roadside food bought back to ths hotel.
Getting into their habit in crossing the road. Close ur eyes and just step out. Cars will definitely let u pass. But all of this is just so terrifying. Still thinking of the ang mo's expression when our cab almost knock onto her. Cant imagine it in singapore. U will be kindly treated with a middle finger. Hahahaha.
Day 3
29/09/13
Final day of our shopping trip. And it's a sun... so... Chatuchak market! It was just OMG just by looking at the size of it. The scorching sun just burnt me out.
Took the BTS train instead of taxi. Their trains are basically clean and I think it's even much better than the trains in Singapore.
Spent all our money on clothes, clothes and more clothes. And as usual, we dabao all our food back to the hotel. Peisi and Shi hui went to the Paragon to change more money since they spent all their money away in the weekend market.
After we had our lunch, we went to the Platinum mall with a brand new clothes. Because we were all sweaty after the chatuchak.
Platinum mall sell so many cheap and nice clothes! But I just got no idea why they close so early. We reached there at about 6pm and most of the shops are already preparing to clsoe. by 7.30pm, more than 80% of the shops are closed. Good and bad points lah. Close early so we wont need to spend money again. hahaha...
Day 4
30/09/13
We check-out quite early cos we are afraid of the heavy traffic. But to our surprise, the roads are clear! LOL. Had a cup of starbucks inside the airport while waiting for time to pass.
U need a real damn good stamina to shop here in bangkok. Not only will u hv to cross 6 lanes on the road without being knock down, there r so many stairs tt u need to climb. Not to mention about the whole stretch of stalls ahead of u.
Had a really nice experience in Bangkok.
Of course, I enjoyed the company of my 2 dear friends and sister.
We had also decided to come BKK once a year to stock up our clothes! LOL
