26-310309:eating, shopping & walking trip in bangkok

it was a 6D5N trip to bangkok travelling with teddie & his sis+baby jet. all i can say about the trip was fantastic as we have great accommodation in a bangalow (eventho the distance to shopping district is 1hrs+), food was 5 stars all the time & shopping was grade A++

260309: it started off with bad weather which caused airasia to delay taking off from 5.30pm to 6.30pm. after arriving bkk, we were on a LONG Q at the custom to check on our passports, by the time we got out of the bangkok international airport, it was already 8.30pm (thai time). we were starving & we went into the nearest restaurant about 5km away from the airport to dine in... the setting of the restaurant made our jaws dropped...as the concept behind is meant to be a giant sampan floating seafood restaurant... not forgetting to mention, the bills too! we headed off to Suan Lum Nite Bazaar for a 'starter nite shopping'.








270309: MBK Patthunam Center! my lunch was my long-waited SOMTOM, it was awesome big time... really wish to bring them home!! anyway, we shopped level by level & not forgetting our favourite brain-freeze chocholate frap at Mr. Bean on ground floor, yummy... we even tried our 1st McPork aka Samurai Pork Burger, Sweet Corn Pie, Medium (Large size in msia) with Thai sweet & spicy sauce at McD for our early dinner at 6pm. We continued shopping at Suan Lum Nite Bazaar again after that. The coconut ice-cream was nicesh at 25baht, including half young coconut as the "bowl".

280309: LOOK!!!! I need bigger eyes to browse thru the fashion here at JJ MALL!!! It is a newly built aircon mall next to Jak Tu Jak, the price is 10-50baht more expensive than the hot tanned stalls. which i caught fever after that... which reminded me that i took part in the Earth Hour by switching off my room lights to zzz from 9pm till next day morning!


290309: Platinum Center, which happened to be the best price shopping heaven for fast fashion & accessories! as it is a center that sell everything in whole sales price as long as you buy more than 1 piece from the same shop! Oh yea, the foodcourt system are great in bangkok as it is no longer the traditional way of buying coupons to exchange food, instead, all values are keyed into a magnetic card, each time we order, the cashier will slot my card once & print my receipt order with my credit balance. wooo.... anyway, most of the shops closes around 6pm, traffic was horrible & the cabs & tuk tuk wanted to tripple charge us to Siam Paragon, therefore we took the challenge to WALK over...and ask the passanger on the road for direction. After 30mins, we finally arrived! The foodcourt setting was excellent & attractive, however, it is kinda overprice for the normal tasting food... well, what to do, it is the branded mall!






300309: It was our last day to shop! We managed to shop at Siam Square for more things & meet up Urnnie's family at Siam Paragon again before we head off to Suan Lum Nite Bazaar for seafood dinner + LAST CHANGE TO SHOP!!!~~~ When time ticked around 1230am, we decided to take a spin at China Town (Yawaratt) for Sharkfin Supper with rice...OMG... it was so YUMMY eventho i totally disagree to have supper in my life, but it was just too tempting.....







Before we packed all our stuff into the luggages & bags.. teddie & i decided to snap a pic to see how much we have bought for ourselves + souvinirs the pass 5 days...


310309: Just before taking off at the departure hall at 2pm at the international airport... dead tired yet enjoyable trip =)
