It was a wonderful trip! We really maximize all our time lor… let me do a short debrief of what went on in this 5 days trip…
We reach BKK in the evening and the new airport was really big.. we then took a cab to Shanghai Inn… The cabs are getting much better in terms of service now.. only a few times did they try to quote us prices.. if that happens just shut the door lor..
The hotel was like a boutique hotel… the interiors etc looks like those ancient China rooms, even the doors have those wooden hinges… very cool design overall.. but location a bit off although we can eat seafood right downstairs…
Staying in Chinatown means we can visit the Chinatown area.. we originally planned to take the river taxi etc to visit the temples but due to time constraint, we had to skip them… we spent most of the day walking up down left right of Chinatown… trying to find some stuff my family wanted to get… but my directions were wrongly drawn thus it was a wasted effort.. :pout1:pout1
I got a friend who was working in BKK and he was our tour guide at night for the first 2 nights. He brought us to Suan Lam night market for the first night where we saw the coolest lightings and furnitures… and the second night he brought us up to the State tower… it is this top level open air bar where you can see the entire BKK night scene while drinking and chatting with your friends..
The next 2 nights we went over to stay in Baiyoke Sky hotel. It is right smacked in the middle of Pratatunam Market… for the next 3 days, it was insane walking all over Siam and the market in search of things to buy… I manage to get some cheap jeans and shirts :tongue1
Oh and we took Tiger Air this time round… but it was just bad.. no food.. at budget terminal nothing to eat also… bad bad bad… will avoid them at all cost now.. think airasia or valuair also better… but best is if can just avoid budget air…
Really sad actually cos the trip was too short! Wish I had more time with her.. :wink1
Soon have to go back to office again.. haiz.. but I am looking forward to our next trip aboard again!
Pictures will be uploaded later..
