Awesome Bangkok..

This is Bangkok Airport.. Accordingly, still quite new... Think our Changi airport cannot ya ya papaya for long... alot are chasing after us... Anyway, this airport got a very "aluminium" feel to me.. hahhaha... First impression of bangkok.. PASSED!


Moving on to our hotel.. surprising! they have a very good taxi Q system... but funny how my friend describe.. haa.. we r Q in one row, the taxi driver Q at the other row facing us... so when it reaches our turn, we tell the counter where we r going and ta da! our taxi driver appear right infront of us... "like match-making hor?" that's what my friend describe.. hahaha... but our taxi uncle bor handsome.. I DUN WAN.. hahah.. Journey to hotel was smooth.. no JAM wor! cannot believe.. perhaps its a saturday morning.. all not working? what supposely to be a 30mins ride ended up we reach in 20 mins! cool!


from then on... there's only one thing, nope 2 things in our agenda... ie --> SHOP & EAT....

its a short trip, just 3 days 2 night, we didnt have time for tourist attraction. mayb i'll do that in my next trip. However our first stop, we visited the famous 4 face buddha. Can really tell it is FAMOUS lo.. along the way to there also have a few 4 face buddha but bor lang pray de leh.. this one is so different.. so grand so "smoky.." dun know how to start and pray, so monkey see, monkey do. haha... somehow.. i still prefer my "SI MA LU GUAN YING MIAO"... dun ask me why, i can't answer..


Shopping in bangkok test ur patient.. coz.. its HOT HOT HOT!!! very hot! end of the day, i dun dare to smell myself. scared i'l faint.. weather there can kills man.. luckily i got my portable powerful battery operated fan with me.. if not i can die man, but coz the weather is so hot, the wind from my beloved fan is also hot wind. Anyway. got wind better than no wind. haha.. i drank coke like i drink plain water. its.. HOT! even the local can't tahan and tell us this summer is extraordinary HOT!! No matter how HOT the weather can be, it still cannot shop us from SHOPPING! wow.. tell u, we can really shop till forgot lunch forgot dinner. just had my coke i'm contented. haa.. things there are generally cheap. even before bargain sound reasonable to me, but since it is their culture to bargain, we MUST do it, and i have my representative to do on my behalf! haha.. coz. i really dunno how to bargain one leh... this must leave to"auntie" to do it for me. OPPS! hahaha...


FOOD in bangkok is GOOODDDD also! i basically had tom yam everyday... taste so good! i'm missing them now!! however think i had too much tom yam or spicy food... i kena cough.. TILL NOW! it has been 1 week already..i'm STILL COUGHING.. cough cough go away.. i hate cough.. i hate cough syrup even more! the thought of cough syrup taste make me wan to vomit. yyyeeeekkk...
so ya, u all can imagine, i bought alot of things back!! from head to toe, from inside to outside.. all have! hahaha...u name it.. u have it! and all within my budget! i only change S$600. and i spend all there! no cards payment! i'm impressed with S$600 i can spend like queen in bangkok..
ok ok.... nothing perfect.. so i shall MALU myself here.. but also share with u all mah.. LAUGH all u wan after u read. i'm prepared.. just dun suan me ok? haha
1st - We paid SQ pricing for jetstar ticket. We have booked our jetstart ticket online ages ago.. and all sotong never check la! so actually the payment didn't went through and $%&$ jetstar actually took our names away WITHOUT informing us. my sotong friend also never realised her credit care stmt didn't deduct.. so when we check in, we were shock by this news.. so.. ended up, we bought the ticket on the spot and spend S$500+ for JUST JETSTAR AIR TICKET.. omg.. this is really HEART PAIN.. and this is also why i only spend S$600 and no more for my trip. haha... but most importantly, we still went bangkok and enjoyed. ok la. $ can earn back...
2nd - We r sotong.. ok ok. i admit.. but not all the time ok? haha.. as i mentioned we shop till happy, my friend brought us to this shop that sells all the cookies, and tell us they'll pack into a box so we can check in the box, dun need pack ourselve and hand carry so mafan. Upon hearing that, u know how lazy i am.. i buy lo.. really buy enough to pack into the box, plus all my shopping for that day, all packed into the box. people there were so friendly.. then then then.. (Really cannot blame me. coz i wasn't there to listen hor...i was dunno doing what.. ) told us they have free delivery service but only LOCAL ADDRESS... so the 2 blur one say WE R FROM SINGAPORE, SO CANNOT... can u imagine... we carry the box from the shop to our hotel... that would be... 15mins walk to MRT stn (coz we walked the wrong way, actually only stone thrown distant, we walked a BIG rounf), 2 MRT stops, 10 mins walk to hotel... but the time i reach hotel front door - FINALLY, and i heard them saying the free delivery thing.. i wanted to kill someone instantly.!! make me carry such heavy boxes around.. my hand almost broke! sweat till like nobody biz.. when ACTUALLY THERE"S FREE DELIVERY SERVICE!? LOCAL ADDRESS!!! arn't our hotel LOCAL ADDRESS!? we r not leaving on that day, can always ask them to deliver to our hotel what!!! why must i carry till so XIN KU!!! can u imagine.... it remind me of my trip from hong kong to shenzhen.. really can fight lo.. hahahahaha...
ok la.. its an experience, so ended up, we laugh whole night.. hahahaha.. really must appreciate those i bought... not easy to bring back ok? hahahah....
ok ok.. STOP LAUGHING! hahahaha... and i wonder when my cough go away... sighed... *COUGH* *COUGH*..
