bangkok trip summary
Thursday, July 03, 2008, 2:46 PM
I'm back from bangkok!!! It was the most fulfilling, shiok, fun, yummy, 5 star, spendtrift and lovely trip i've experienced! Most importantly we were safe throughout the trip and had great time on our own!!! We achieved everything we wanted to do from shopping to massage to cultural stuff... I took lots of photos but am lazy to put it up now :) Still, i'll put my itinerary below: Day 01: spore-bkk. It was almost 11pm when we arrived at the hotel so we went to 7-11 for necessities before gg to sleep Day 02: Pratunam/Platinium/Baiyoke. Shopping at pratunam was almost like covering everything i needed to shop for although platinium has more younger stuff. We focused mainly on pratunam and went platinium for donuts and walked back to our hotel to prepare for baiyoke. We went baiyoke well dressed to view the entire bkk and also for our yummy international buffet. They really serve everything from crabs to sushi and all kinds of meat. But desserts weren't that good though. Other than that everything was lovely. Day 03: JJ/Chatuchak mkt and MBK Found out that jj mkt was exactly like bugis plus pasar malam and due to time constraints we only walked like a little but bought quite alot too :) then was MBK for MK steamboat and movie!! Can u imagine we even watched a movie!!! hahax...then it was time back to the hotel again :) Day 04: Chao Phraya River tour/Grand Palace/Siam Square The river tour just showed us the old and new bangkok due to the shifting of capital across the river and the palace was magnificent with great architecture and really expensive materials and also it has this mysterious but grand/formal aura exluding from it. It really is a special place and a must go... I got lost there and panicked for a while since my phone has no signal but managed to reach them using a public phone and it was just a minor scare. we ate mos burger at Siam paragon and went to siam square for massage and shopping then had tom yum khong and fried rice for dinner (our only thai like food tasted inly on day 4!!!) hahax... It was euro finals so we bought snacks and drinks to watch but i fell asleep dreaming that Spain won and it did!! woot~ cool to win nat twice for our bet on Spain!!! Russia and Germany lost! But i think Spain deserved the cup as they have really good players. Day 5: Platinium/MBK Shopping at Platinium was a blast cause there are really lots of things there... I'd love it if i were an online seller cause there things are sold wholesale and it was a bit difficult to buy only 1 or 2 pieces. Until platinium closed then we went to MBK for last minute shopping and did manicure and pedicure. We had A&W for dinner and it felt good to try sth spore doesn't have!!! Day 6: Floating market/Platinium I highly recommend this floating mkt half day tour to all cause it realy soaks u into their culture and i had great fun. About 100km away from city and 1.5hrs private bus ride, it spells tranquility and down-to-earth and the real bkk. Then was Platinium shopping again. i regret not getting the anna sui mirror and shopping for more clothes. There are many things i still wanna get!!! as long as i earn enough money i'll go again!!!! Day 7: bkk-spore Back to spore in the morning but to school at night. Tired! And was glad Sharon remembered i' back from bkk yesterday and it was sweet if her to text me!!! Not for the rest though.. gg to nag at them when i see them!!! hahax... |
