@ 12:20 AM , Land of Smiles, Day 2 (15/08)
second day!
let's c.. ok.. we plan to go to Chatuchak early.. so we grabbed a bite at Macdonalds, den we took the local "MRT" to Mo Chit station.. it was HOTTT.. and the market was big as well.. so we just randomly walked here and there.. we actually bought quite alot of things.. and like one of my fav things to do.. is to BARGAIN!!!
Bangkok Metro
Selling Live Animals we returned to the hotel with many many bags of stuff.. so we took a rest.. and den walked to Siam Paragon.. which is just about 15 mins walk from our hotel.. we had lunch/dinner (i forgot the time we ate) there.. and then walked around..
Siam Paragon!!
Mango Sticky Rice returned to the hotel to freshen up.. and asked the Concierge to recommend any nice night bazaars to go.. he recommended the Suan Lum Night Bazaar.. we cabbed there.. and saw many tour buses there.. meaning that it's a must-go place for tourists in Bangkok..
Suan Lum Night Bazaar there were many vendors selling stuff there as well.. but.. it was quite boring actually.. because all the items were repetitive.. they actually sell almost the same stuff.. the most being fake branded bags.. so after tad.. we went to a big open space for some supper.. however it was not very enjoyable as well.. since the mosquitoes had a fuller supper than us..
cabbed back.. and was sooooo tired..!!

after a two hour flight, have finally reached Bangkok.. when we reached, we were welcomed by the hotel representative.. the hotel sent a executive van to fetch us to the hotel.. so nice of my cousin to do so..
Hotel Holiday Inn after settling everything, we went to have lunch.. lunch was pretty bad.. as we are unable to communicate with the ppl there.. luckily some Thais know Teochew.. lol.. easier method of communication.. however, lunch sucks btw..
anyway, after lunch, we went around the city trying to get familiarized with the place.. we went to the 4-faced Brahma statue to "bai-bai".. den after tad we actually were able to spend one whole afternoon.. around 2-3 hours.. at the first storey of the shopping mall.. can u imagine that..?! after that.. the supermarket at the second storey was just simply amazing.. it was such a HUGE place.. with many different kinds of merchandise being sold.. i bought bottle of Heineken for like less than S$2.. and also something i nv saw b4.. Johnny Walker Soda Mix!! omg!! so nice!! and damn cheap also.. one bottle less than S$2..
