Bangkok Trip

8th Of July, 2013 Monday

First time traveling with ZQ's Gang. I am just a follower for this trip. So relaxing, I just pack my luggage and just pay money for everything. hahaha. I am so bad. Flying from KL because Air Asia got promotion, so I need to first get to KL.

4th July, Thursday night arrive at LCCT before everyone come as our flight was at 11pm. Its was also ZQ's birthday. As usual, we don't give present to each other. After some light meet and greet with his gang, we took off to Bangkok, Thailand. Could said to be a crazy and shopping gang. Hahaha.

5th July, reach Bangkok airport at 2:30am in the morning and take cab to our hotel. Havent started the journey already get con by the Taxi driver. Both same distance cab, but our cab demanded extra money. So Shit.....Nvm that, and worst off.... we booked 2 rooms but that receptionist knoew we got a lot people and wanted us to book another room. Waste extra money for that extra room..... After that everytime we came back to the hotel, we go in by pairs so not to raise any suspision. Had a fried kueyteow at the roadside before going to sleep.

After waking up, its shopping day. Yeah !!! Not my favourite but the clothing are really cheap if bought in wholesale. 3-4 cloth at one stall. I just follow around as I was not a shopaholic. Went to Platinum for our first stop. And had chicken rice for Lunch. Coldstone icecream as our tea break. Enjoying myself a lot with the food. Just miss those roadside stalls. After shopping at city area, we went to Asiatique. Beautiful warehouse type of shopping. Going through the river with boat to reach Asiatique. And we went for a 4D short story. And it sucks.... luckily we only paid 100bath each person. After Asiatique, head back to city centre for some souvenir shopping at the road side.

6th July, today's plan again to shopping centre. But this one is quite interesting. We are heading to Asia's largest flee market. A lot of things to be bought here. A few section. You got furniture, designers cloth, decoration, food, souvenir and etc. It will take you a day just to finish walking the whole market. Its called Chatuchak Market. Too bad it was rainy but later the sky just brighten up. Bought some clothes, pants, a mug, and tried the coconut ice cream. My leg was all worn out from the walking.

After visiting chatuchak market, back to town area to find dinner. And most of them didn't want to go Chinatown to eat seafood. All lazy and tired. We went to eat Fuji.... japanese restaurant. After that went back to our hotel area and started to search for massage centre. I need to recharge my leg. I did a full body massage. One could not miss to have a Thai massage if you are in Thailand. And at last, me and ZQ decided to go to the red light district as no skybar visiting. Oooops, we just can't let this chance slip away. Although we still need to wake very early the next day.

Hop onto the taxi at 11:30pm, Soi Cowboy. Soi = Street. Really an eye opener. So many pubs to visit in a short street. So we went to 3 pubs. And boy we was amaze by the interior and not to mention all the pretty ladies. The beer was cheap. It was only 100bath for one small bottle. You don't even need to pay for entering the pubs. If you don't like the place, you can just walk out and go to another pub. We had a spicy Maggie mee just beside the street and went home around 4am. Need to wake at 6am for railway and floating market trip.

7th July, Ok me and ZQ is totally sleep derived.....not enough sleep becoz of the night pub patrolling. Luckily still can awake to sit in the van. Just sleep all the way until the Railway market. 1 and a half hour journey.... far far away land. And there was some argument between other tourist with the Van owner. Fierce argument. We was so scared so just listen to the Van driver although the itinerary changed. We booked from MaMa Travel. Ok the first stop, railway market. Not as what I expected. Total disappointment. The market place was normal and the train was so slow. hahaha. Maybe I have too high expectation....

After that we went to Floating market. At least this time it was more nice. And a real floating market which we sit inside the boat and go around buying things, foods souvenirs. We had a simple lunch at the floating market before going back to Bangkok town area.

After dropping us at the town area, I alone went to the temples for some sightseeing as the rest of them went shopping. After those temple visiting, went back to meet up. And went to the Four Face Buddha for some prayers. Very famous, but if you had any wish granted here, better come back to pay some respect. It is a must. Had a dinner and walk around Big C centre for tit bit shopping before heading back to Malaysia. Back to hotel and sleep. 5am flight from Bangkok to Malaysia. And I still need to take the 12noon flight to Singapore.
