Bangkok!

Yup, at last im spending time to blog about my trip to Bangkok. It's only been....1..2.... 3 weeks!

We boarded the evening plane there, got the free Air Asia tickets quite sometime ago. Reached there around 8pm Thai time.

Upon reaching, we left our bags at the Hotel and headed out into the Thai night. First stop, dinner!

Yen Ta Fu! It's pink!....But it's pink!!

I didn't eat that, i ate some Pork Ball noodle. Nice, for only 40Baht. All Thai food came in smaller portions, less oily and delicious! No wonder all the people there were slim. You would have thought we would have called it a night. But NooooOOoo...we started what we came to Bangkok for...well, maybe what i went to Bangkok for. Suan Lum! As you can see from the pic there's a big ass Ferris Wheel in the background. Went for a ride in it, costs 100Baht per person for about 5 spins. They had the famous Beer Garden here. The pic i took was too blur.

Next day, went for our half day tour. Went on a boat ride along Chao Phraya.

Boat ride

Along the river bank we saw lots of...buildings





After that we went to feed some fishies....Whenever we fed them with bread, they would snatch for it, making big splashes and showering us.

Here fishy fishy...

We stop at one of the temples along the riverbank.



Saw a huge toad along the way..


After the half day boat tour, some of us went shopping till evening and then it was dinner at a local Thai restaurant. The next day was a Saturday, so Chatuchak it is!



Along the way, we stopped for coffee, twice. The coffee sold here are cheap, around 40Baht and almost as good as the overpriced coffee sold in M'sia.

I need my coffee wherever i go

Chatuchak is a very very big scale weekend market that sells everything under the sun.

So cute!!
How to resist??? I wanna, i wanna!!

Selling like hotcakes!

Bought loads of clothing from there. So cheap! If only we had things like this here.

Next, we went back to the hotel for some R&R


Next day, it was back to M'sia. Woke up very early to catch our flight.

Hotel lobby at 4am

That's all for my post on Bangkok. The stay was enjoyable, the people were very polite and the food....delicious! (Bacon every morning for breakfast!!) I would definitely go again given the chance.
