I'm back from BKK... It seems so fast... Like i never go to bkk for holiday like tat.... Dunno y... this time dun have those, "I still in a holiday mood".... Maybe cos it's a short trip? I have been there b4?

But i enjoyed myself over there.......

Ok.... let see wat i have been doing there....

Day 1

Reached Bkk ard 12pm+.... Took a cab to our hotel, Samran, total fare ard 300 baht...... Need to paid for the expressway toll of 25baht and 40baht.....

When we reached Samran, it was not what i expected..... It is a small hotel..... really look like budget hotel...... But it's ok with mi...... As long as the room is clean.....

The hotel onli have 8 floors and i was given 3rd floor while i requested for high level... So i ask them whether can change to a higher level.... At first, they say the hotel is fully booked... So cannot change... But i need to wait 30mins for my room cos they haven't finished tidy up the room..... Therefore, i ask again for another room as we went to go out soon..... So they managed to find a room for us..... I tink is for another ppl but since they are not there yet... so they give us the room first...... And it is good.... Cos i'm at the same floor as Samantha......

The room is ok... But we cannot pull the curtains opened as opps is a construction site.....

After putting our luggage in the room. we proceed to Platium Mall..... We walked there... It took us ard 10-15mins..... From Samran, you turned right and walk straight..... until u see Platium Mall...... The shopping there is great as long as u have a shopping kaki with u.... Cos it is a wholesale center..... u need to buy at least 2-3 pieces to have the wholesale price..... The clothes there is veri cheap...... ranging from 100baht..... The accessories there also veri nice but for shoes wise.... They dun have much variety....... The have guys clothing... But not many.......

After that, we went back to hotel to put all our stuff and proceed out for dinner.....

We split with Ailing, her bf and his family......... Mi, my aunt, Samantha and her bf went to a Thai resturant near our hotel which is much rave abt...... Mostly the customers are Thai.... U juz c alot of ppl den it is the right place... From Samran u need to walk pass a few shop which have KTV inside and the lights are dark...... Den u will find several road side stall and after that, u will find a shop with alot of ppl.... That is the resturant..... The food there is good... we ordered 6-7 dishes and it's onli 600+ baht which is ard S$30.... Cheap rite.... for 4 ppl...... I love the hotpot, bbq pork and the crispy fish salad......

Den, we went to Suan Lum Night Market.... Will not go there again.... The things there veri veri exp.... They quote veri high price..... After asking the price i also laz to bargain...... But i bought a bag there i like veri much... It is quoted at 300 baht which i tink is still ok.... den i manage to bargain until 280 baht....... Other den tat, we manage to bought dresses at a shop..... But i forgot how much le.... I tink is 200+ baht......

After we finished walking there, we dragged our tired feet back to our hotel.... There is a massage palour next to our hotel... But as we dun c anyone in there, we dun dare to try (after that den we know there it is quite famous and it tok abt in the LD from ailing)

Day 2

Wake up early and have breakfast at the hotel..... They have diff type of breakfast for u to choose from, American Breakfast, Pan Cake, Crossique bread(dunno how to spell), Soup Noodle, Fried Noodle, and Fried Rice... I tink tat's it.... I tried the American Breakfast and Pan cake with my aunt.... The American Breakfast have 2 eggs, 1 saugge, 1 small piece of ham and 2 toasted bread.... It is nice... I like the ham but so small piece onli.... The pan cake is veri veri nice.... Recommanded......

After that, we went to the famous temple to pray... Took a BTS there......

Den, we split up again.... My group (the same ppl) walk to MBK.... On the way pass by few shopping mall and went in to have a look.... The Zara and MNG is not cheap there.... I feel that the branded shops are nt cheaper in BKK....

So we went to MBK.... Wanted to try the Zen, jap resturant.... But it is under renovation... So in the end, we went to another jap resturant called, little boat (in chinese).... The food there so-so onli.... I ordered a bowl of tempura noodles at 110 baht..... The noodles so-so and the tempura soak until not nice le.... den i tried my aunt chicken cutlet.... No taste de..... Next time dun go there......

Den we walked ard MBK and i bought 3 bags at 199 baht from there...... And bought bras from there... It is cheaper den singapore.....

At night, we went back to the same place for dinner.... this time, we bought Ailing them along too..... All of us enjoyed the food veri much.......

After a satisfying dinner, we took a cab to Memorial Bridge Night Market....... Love it there.... The clothes is cheap and the accessories necklace onli 29 baht..... Veri cheap.... Good to shop there.... like pasa malam like that.... the night market there is more for local so their english not veri good... and the ppl there very friendly... can bargain if u buy more and can try... for bottom, u use a sarong for top.... u can juz wear it and try...... If u dun buy, they won't scold u de...... But too bad... i cannot find any bottom for my size... cos the cutting there veri small......

Before going back to hotel, we went to the massage palor beside Samran... After wat Ailing told us, we are more comfortable abt going there...... Mi, Samantha and her bf do foot masssage and my aunt do thai massage.....

It is wonderful.... But when the lady rub my small leg, it is veri painful.... Overall, it is a gd experience.......

Day 3

Went to CTC early morning.... took the BTS to Mo Chit...... Almost forgot to take my wallet out, went back to hotel to take.......

At CTC, we split up, mi and my aunt went together..... CTC things is veri cheap.... They have alot of section.... From furnitures to pets and clothing.... We went straight to the clothing section.....

The clothes there veri cheap too..... And alot of stall selling nice t-shirt... abit regret never buying more..... the bags there veri cheap too selling at 100baht onli...... Bought another 3 bags from there too...... We walked until ard 4pm.... The weather is veri hot and the sun veri glaring... so we decided to proceed back to the hotel.... Actually if u stay inside the tent it is ok.... but once u came out into the sun..... There's when u really get hot......

At the hotel, we ordered room service and share for our lunch..... We try the fried noodle with chicken/pork and vegetables which ailing recommended... she say it is veri nice and is like fried hor fun...... It is 99 baht but the waiter never return mi the 1 baht... But nvm lah....

Den when Samantha came back, i recommended her the dish too and she also ordered..... The fried noodle is nice..... not bad.... next time can try the other dish.....

For dinner, we went to Chinatown... As we went in diff cab, so we split up into 2 groups too..... Ailing them went to Nam Xing.... And we went to T&K recommended in LD..... It is on the left of Nam Xing... it is like a road side stall but as u followed the waiter in, they will lead u inside a building with air-conditionered....... there are a few level... each level onli have ard 5 tables..... We walked up to the 3rd level.......

We ordered, a claypot sharkfin to share, a fried sotong, kang kong, tom yam, crab with glass noodle inside the body, one steamed fish..... The food is great and the price reasonable......

Den we proceed to Memorial Bridge again as the shopping there is good and there is no other place to walk at night.......

Took a tuk tuk there..... Great experience........

This time, we went too early... some shop still haven't open.... wanted to buy some more accessories.... but they not open yet... too bad....... so next time if wen to go memorial bridge, go at a later time.....

As we went there before and some stall not opened, so we went off quite early and decided to tried the massage palour next to Asia hotel as Samantha said she went there before and it's good.... So we took a cab there....... Outside the massage palour, there is a road side stall selling shoes at 49 and 99 baht... veri nice... bought 2 look alike birkenstock for 99 baht each..... Den we went to the massage palour..... Their uniform is pink colour, the first stall from the right of the lane...... We do the same thing.... except this time Samantha bf went back to the hotel first.... We felt that the massage palour is beta den the one near Samran as they use more strength and the technics they use a bit diff......

Den we went to found the famour Wan Ton Mee stall...... Found it near to the 7-11... very near to Asia Hotel..... We decided to pack back.....

A the hotel trying the wan ton mee, adding the chilli powder in.... I feel that it is nice but not as fantastic as they rave abt.... Maybe cos it is cold.....

Day 4

For breakfast, i tried the fried noodle.... It is nice...... I like it.......

After breakfast, all of us free and easy, we split up and went to the place we want to go..... Mi and my aunt went to Platium Mall as we onli finished walking the basement...... Not enough money left... So went to change more......

This time at Platium Mall, we spend more rationally... Cos the first day we c cheap den buy and some clothes i cannot wear.... wasted.... So this time, we onli buy when we really like it and confirm can wear de....... We bought alot of necklace this time...... And i also bought a wallet for my mum.... Have lunch at the food court there.... The food there not bad..... After that we continue our shopping... den my aunt say she want to eat the crepe at the basement.... It is veri nice.... u can choose alot of diff combination of ingredient.... And she also say she tired le.... Actually she also short of cash le...... so we split up.... I continue shopping while she find a place to rest her feet.......

After that, we meet up again to go to MBK to meet up with the rest....... Actually wanted to take a cab there.... But too many ppl waiting so we decided to take BTS.... But we get off at the wrong station.... so we need to walk a long distance...... On the way, we saw ppl filming Bollywood movie.......

We meet Samantha and her bf for dinner.... Decided to juz eat at KFC.... The KFC set for 2 piece chicken meal consists of 2 chicken, 1 glass of peisi and 1 packet of fries..... for 109 baht...... They got sell rice too....... The chicken there not much diff from singapore de.....

Den, we went to buy some local food to bring back to singapore.....

After that, we split up again... My aunt wanted to go wash, cut and blow her hair.... And i wanted to go make eyelash extension... so we split up too..... i meet ailing them and went to plaza 29.... Ailing and Kok Chuan's brother gf do manicure and i do eyelash extension for 700 baht..... Actually i wanted to go eyelash extension den manicure.... but they close veri early..... they close at 9pm bkk time..... I c Ailing manicure veri nice lor..... *sad* den my eyelash looks weird at first..... It is veri dense but not curl enough.......

We took a cab to Asia Hotel for another round of massage...... We went to Asia hotel first and went to Naraku shop.... the things there veri nice..... Bought a cosmetic pouch.... The small mirror veri cute... 30 baht onli... too bad i bought things for my friends le.... orelse will buy it for them.... But in the end i bought 2.... thinking 1 for my friend den the other for myself (in the end my mum likes so i give mine to her)..... bought a pouch which have a tissue holder for my mum....

After buying so many things, we went for our massage... as there is not enough place for the 3 of us to do foot massage, the lady say we can go up the room (which is for thai massage) for our foot massage... This is the first time i do foot massage while laying down...... The lady is veri good..... At the end where by they will massage ur shoulder, they do abit like the thai massage thing.... Actually wanted to try thai massage but too bad my "big auntie" came... so cannot do.....

After a relaxing massage, we went to eat the wan ton mee..... This time, we sit there and eat... And true, it is nicer to eat there... We ordered the dry and soup wan ton mee to try..... I like the dry one cos can add the chilli powder..... The dry one comes with soup too... I tink is winter melon soup cos there got a few piece of winter melon.... But it taste diff from singapore de.... It is veri tasty.... But it is a bit salty... like put too many MSG......... Each bowl cost 30 baht onli.....

Last night at the hotel.......
