Alright the post I've been delaying way tooo long! I'd probably spilt the trip post into 3-4 parts. 3-6th Sept.
THE HANGOVER 3 hehehe
MAD EXCITED AS WE WERE MAKING OUR WAY TO BKK!
On our journey, we met 2 lovely kids on the plane. Jiaen & brother (who is very camera shy but friendly irl). She was dress in pink head to toe with minne hair band and pulling her own small pink luggage while he was dressed as batman in his cape! Jiaen is really a sweet looking, gorgeous girl. Grow up confirm confirm damn pretty HAHAHA.
The bird eye s view of the land of Bangkok is really WOW. Also at closer look from above, you will spot plenty of plantations, meanders, majority land and also long long roads and a city so dense and packed plus pretty rundown.
By then we arrived in BKK was already mid afternoon and we checked into our hotel Baiyoke Sky Hotel. I kinda forgot to take a picture of it, and another reason that it is Thailand's tallest tower standing at 88 storeys high! It'd be difficult to get a full shot of it.

The hot pink vehicles are actually meter taxis, so easy to spot
Since half the day has past, we decided to head to Platinum mall which is about 10 mins walk from our hotel. Platinum mall is definitely the must go place when you go BKK! We went there thrice, couldn't finish shopping at the building itself. Shop till you drop drop drop. Just in front of the hotel there are also street stalls (similar to our Bugis St in SG) and Pratimun Mall (I didn't go, so I have no idea how it looks like but it's definitely shopping).
We were so busy shopping at Platinum Mall that we forgot to snap pictures of that area. Beside Platinum Mall is another shopping mall where it is filled with footwear bags etc, but sadly i kinda forgot what is the name of the building.
It was the raining season in BKK, and unfortunately we got caught in the rain on our first day there and were drenched! :
Mango sticky rice is a must try! Hell fattening(coconut milk) but damn good.
MAPLE WAFFLE DOPE MAXXX
There is a Family Mart, which is our 7-11 sotres in SG at the lobby of our hotel. Even though it is a store in the hotel it is damn cheap!!!! And I really cannot emphasize further how cheap hotel food are (and so are the facilities of the hotel, cabs, the clothes, the food, well almost everything. Dinning in the restaurant of the hotel cost us about SGD 10-16 each only! Compared to Singapore this is the amount we spend in Pastamania etc
Since Family Mart is really that convinient, we never fail to have supper every night. Just a thought: When you are in BKK, eat all you want enjoy all the good food and Thailand's specialties. Wait to you're back in Sg then worry about losing those insane amount of calories you consumed, really :D
Other than Korean cup noodles, I would recommend the above brand. I ALWAYS HAVE DIFFICULTY PRONOUCING THIS, can't they have an english name for it!!! Sg have these too btw. When I found out about how good this taste, I couldn't stop consuming it for 2 whole weeks. MSG LOADS HAIR DROP LOADS TOO X.X
DAY 2 destination: Chatuchak
Getting ready early in the morning! Be prepared to dress in sleeveless or whatsoever 'cos it will be friggin hot and sweaty and the heat and crowd is just crazy.
We had breakfast buffet everyday during our stay. I just had my 4th meal for today, and looking at the pictures below makes me wna eat again omgzsx.

Here are some tips when taking cabs (ALWAYS ALWAYS GO BY METER)/tuktuk :
Fyi unlike Singapore, BKK allows 5 people to squeeze inside a 4 seater taxi. Always take those which goes by meter. Our first taxi ride from the airport to the hotel was damn ex cos we took the non-meter 5 seater taxi. Trust me, there really is a lot of difference.
After we were done with breakfast, we headed to the neartest MRTA/Metro (MRT) by foot. It's walking distance.
Along our way we passed by the Baiyoke Boutique. It is a cheaper hotel you can choose! :
BKK's MRT token & cards:
Meet the Tay Family!:
Across the overheadbridge and you'd reach Chatuchak!
Oh yah, btw we saw SG mediacorp Actor Thomas Ong with his family there teeheehee
Doesn't Ronald the Macdonald looks like he has taken drugs? O:
Again, no pictures of the stalls in Chatuchak 'cos we were too busy shoppin oopsy
Loots from 2-3 hours of shopping
For the 10 orgys
We were all sweaty and sticky from the 2-3 hours of shopping and we decided to go to the hotel to take a shower and rest our very tired legs before going shopping again. Btw, I think we didn't even walked half of the whole Chatuchak.
Made our second trip to Platinum Mall to continue shopping 'cos we didn't have enough time on Day 1. Another shopping area would be Siam. The area is pretty big and food is found everywhere. We took a tuktuk from Platinum to Siam.
I didn't take a picture of how the tuktuk look like from the outside but i goggled it:
The driver we had was insanely reckless!!! I swear we were at a very fast speed & we moved from Lane 1 to Lane 5, then he drove to another lane in the opposite direction. And if he were to be a split second slower in returning to the correct lane, we would definatetly crashed with the incoming vehicle. But no worries, I highly doubt majority of the tuktuk drivers are like him.
This was Pauline and my reaction: Wheeeeee, so fun so fun! But Paul's mum reaction damn epic: Frowning and worrying and terrified but tryna ACT CALM HAHAHA
Okay, it took me quite some time to complete this post, and this is only part one ahhhhhh.
To be continued...
