Bangkok 2012 - Day 1 & 2
Monday, May 27, 2013 // 10:11 PM
Jobless and bumming around at home, so I'm updating this space with the BKK trip with BFF!
So one fine day, the BFF said something about going to BKK so I decided to join in the fun and off we go!!
2 November 2012. Friday
We actually took a night flight so I went to work as usual. Then I reached home in the late afternoon and I used less than 1 hour to pack up for the trip. Hurhur.
So basically, we went to Bangkok and slept the first night away (And we realized it's a bit dumb to waste money on the hotel, but we get the whole of Saturday to have fun!) :p
Photo at the airport to tell everyone we're leaving for Bangkok. (*≧▽≦)
Was my first time flying at night and with Air Asia. Chose the seats behind the extra legroom seats and therefore, we can't adjust our seats? #wtf moment. So uncomfortable during the journey and thank god it's only to Bangkok. :/
We landed at Don Mueang airport, instead of Suvarnahumi Airport. DM is a super old airport, hardly any shops. During this trip, we took cabs everywhere because there's 4 of us so it's quite cheap! :)
The driver didn't know where's our hotel and I didn't take down the number and address and I had no access to my emails cause I didn't see any prepaid card shops in the old airport. :(
After quite a while of ding dong-ing around, finally found this cozy hotel: The Mini Ratchada Hotel
Booked it via Agoda cause they actually took quite awhile to reply my emails. Big and clean room with bathtub and the price is so cheap. I think we only paid $50 plus per night excluding service charges etc. And we had breakfast delivered to our room everyday. So awesome!! One bad point is that the bed is super hard. I couldn't sleep on my side from the second day onwards or else my bones will be protesting.
When you're in a hot country like Bangkok, you need tissues, lots of them. Bought these pretty tissues at the 7-11 opposite our hotels. Used up 2 big packets during this trip. Hahahah.
3 November 2012. Saturday
Breakfast sent to our room every morning. Simple but it's so nice. Love the toasted bread especially. ;)
After breakfast, off we go to Chatuchak! Didn't go to that place during my previous trip cause I was told that there's nothing much and it's boring there. 8(
I had full make-up on in case I'm taking photos without sunglasses and I totally regretted it.
The sun is so scorching hot and I feel that my scalp is burning... Hahaha.
Needless to say, makeup melted and I look like shit with sweat all over.
I love this!
This kitty bringing relaxation to a whole new level. :p
All of us gaga-ing over the pets cause they are super cheap!
The brave BFF tried 1 of these and said it tasted like peanut. Eeeewwww.
Finally, we couldn't stand the heat anymore and headed over to MBK! Had our early dinner at some restaurant there and the food isn't very fascinating. :(
Favourite coffee in BKK - Black Canyon. (。♥‿♥。)
The healthy cake. Can't taste the sweetness at all.
And we went in search for luggages. Got matching luggages with the BFF. ;)
With the 2 luggages in tow, couldn't really go anywhere else so we wanted to go back to our hotel first. While looking for cabs, this tuk tuk driver got off his tuk tuk and came to us, wanting to send us to our hotel but we're quite hesitant cos we have 4 adults and 2 luggages!! Then while persuading us, a traffic police stopped beside his tuk tuk and pulled out his key and drove away. OMG. All of us were like screaming at him and pointing at his tuk tuk. In the end, passed him some cash cos it's partially our fault. Lol
Walked over to this mall near our hotel...
The Esplanade of Bangkok. Lol
