the view of bangkok from the plane

by the time we reach the hotel we were staying, its alr in the evening.... den we went chinatown.. to my mom... the streets of chinatown looks like s'pore in the olden daes... but everything looks veri refreshing to mi... alll the streets are filled with ppl selling things, hawkers stalls, etc...

and in the end we settled for shark fin soup and noodles for our dinner at one of the hawker stalls... guess when u r at these kinda places u cant really be choosy abt hygiene... otherwise, u will missed all the good stuff... the shark fin is really a big bowl for 300baht.... so it really worth it and its super nice... i tink this hawker stall is much nicer than many restaurant's shark fin soup in s'pore...

den we had bird nest soup for dessert at 100 baht... to mi its not really say a must try item as even though they give a lot of bird nest, they are in veri veri small pieces.... but its impossible to have bird nest at $4 in s'pore though...

chinatown shld be a tourist attraction as most of the stuff they sell are not really veri cheap...

at the jewelry shop =P

den we went for thai massage for S$17 for 2hrs.. 1st time at the place.. we seriously dunno wad to do… they juz brought us to a room for massage and left us there… I dunno whether to ask for help or change into the super large weird clothes provided… anyway.. the thai massage was not bad.. but my mom n I tot tt the person could use more strength.. but seems like they will exert more strength on guys as my father seems to be... erm.. a little bit in pain.. lolx…

to end the day… I went to a pub called Hollywood pub opposite of the hotel with my new frenx from the tour grp – Eugene and Xinya.. ordered blue hawaii if I rmb correctly and it only cost S$6.. having a place to chill and listening to a band singing was a nice experience… thanks Eugene for being a gentleman for treating us the drinks and sending us back to our room..

15 Jun 08 – another shopping day
Went to pratunam (opp of Platinum) to shop.. to simply describe, it is like double the size of bugis street… so can u imagine having an extra large bugis street & far east plaza opposite each other… even after 2 days plus of shopping, i only walked like half of their total size… which is super scary… walked till my legs sore like crazy… but really bought quite a number of clothes and shoes… and a super cute camera neckalace.. my fav thing out of all my “achievements”… even helped hf bought the heart shaped belt she wanted tt time at bugis st.. I guess I am really quite pro ba… hehehex….

A&W!!! u cant find this in s'pore anymore!

At night.. we went to mbk… an interesting thing to note.. the price of the skytrain (their mrt) for one station is 45baht for 3 person… whereas the taxi only cost 40baht… is it possible for a train to be more expensive than taxi?? Den wad is the reason of taking a train?? A bit dumb…
Ate swensens ice cream at mbk.. may seems a bit dumb to eat swensens at Bangkok… but since wad they have are diff from s’pore, guess its worth to try..

16 Jun 08 – last min shopping and departure day
The day to return to s’pore finally arrived… took a lot of photos at the airport before we left… the trip started with 3 half filled bags.. and ended with transporting 3 fully filled bags back to s’pore ;)
