My Bangkok trip....
Its suppose to be 5 days but no air tix back on Sun so we are back on Sat. First Bangkok trip with dad, mum & sis. This time round i can spend my money more at ease cos i only need to pay for my air tix n shopping!!! As dad was on business trip so we tag along n hotel is free, transport n food is on dad. When we were there, it was Thailand's King 60th annivesary on the throne.
We reached Bkk at abt 10am. Ok this is our hotel Grand China Princess. Quite a nice n big hotel room all thanx to dad cos he knew the hotel manager haa. The lift lobby n me in the lift nothing to do so took tat pic.
On the first day we went to Grand Palace. Tho is my 2nd visit there but i still like it, it is so nice! So colourful, grand n sacred. Get to see the weapon museum n covered nearly the whole place. Happen to see the guards changing shift, is a complicated process! Also got to sit on a tut-tut for the first time. Terrible!!! All the polluted air n speedy driving....
Day 2 was shopping at MBK (dad went to do his work so 3 ladies out shopping) n not forgetting Black Canyon Coffee haa! My sis fell in love with Mocha Glacier too. Shopping 是女生最快乐的事! Bags n bags of stuffs back to hotel room. Seafood for dinner! Yummy....
Day 3 we went to a temple in the rural part (2hr bus ride). We went to see a monk who is dad's 师父. Got 2 blessed rings from him. Another 2hr journey back, tho was tired but we were back at MBK shopping. Of course must go BCF again! Another fruitful trip haa... Spend abt $200 but i got lots of stuffs back!
As we stayed in chinatown n dad knew his way around, he brought us to eat nice food at 路边摊. Tho it was small and dirty but on contrast, the food is superb. Can't believe i will eat such food n be sitting on the roadside with vehicles passing beside while i enjoy my food. For eg kuay chap(pic 1,2), chicken rice(pic 3,4), fish ball noodle, duck noodle, chay kuay tiao, durians n cheng teng(pic 5,6)... Wow makes my mouth water le. My fav is the kuay chap(so diff frm those we ate in S'pore) n cheng teng! N is cheap a bowl for $1.60!!!
We can also get to see familar names UOB, Watsons etc...
On the last day, dad's fren treated us to nice food at a restaurant. Shark Fin soup! But i din bring cam out so din take photos. N went to wholeseller n guess wat, we bought 8 belts for only 220 bhat which is like less than $10! At 4+ dad send us off to airport, he will be there for another 3 days to complete his work. Our plane, Thai Airways... I like the air stewardess uniform n the plane's interior flora print. On the whole i had fun!
Home Sweet Home....
Was having a terrible M-ing, so pain tat i can't stand so had to sit n teach in class. Catch up with Vio n jean for a while n as usual we can start laughing our heads off for nothing!
Sweet Candies....
