My initial opinion of bkk is its very hazy and traffic is real bad. Everywhere is DANGER! Apparently when I touched down, it's not. The airport is clean and they are smart to place impulse products on the aisle leading to the checkpoint counter.
But before tt, I need to emphasize on how one of my friends, Tang reacted when we were on the plane. So when the plane was taking off, I started singing "Baby are you down, down, down, down, down! He replied: "Andy can u please shut up." I can tell his afraid. HAHA! am a sadist so it's funny to me.
We took taxi to our Hotel. The weather was as hot as singapore. The cars is what we can find in singapore as well. Toyota Fortuner is like everywhere! FYI it's a really huge car smth like lexsus but bigger! And their roads are rather well paved.
I'm thinking their standard of living is not bad at all.
In my taxi were Wenjie, Serena and Darryl. In the other were Tang, Brandon, Tricia and Ji Jie. I noticed another thing, the taxi meter jumped really slow. Like 5min one jump? How nice would it be if singapore's taxi jumped like this. At least, my heart won't be pumping as fast as the meter.
We checked into our hotel in the mid-afternoon, Hope Land Hotel. I must say, it's a pretty good hotel. Cheap but Posh. Reminds me of Gossip Girl Serviced Apartment. I'd wish I stay in one of those.
No toothpaste, No Towel, No soap~ No Worries coz its Serviced! How cool is that. Morning, take lift to level 3, got breakfast. Go out got bell boy open door and hail taxi. What a life!
I'm not going to go day by day on our daily activities coz it'd be very cumbersome and long winded even though now, I feel is rather long?
Hmm where's the clubs?
So Brandon who came to bkk before will be our tour guide. He brought us to various places to eat. We visited Night Markets, famous shopping landmarks e.g. MBK, Platinum Mall.
The guys definitely shopped more than the girls! Even though Serena can beat us hands down with a bed of loots. We bought T-Shirts, T-Shirts, T-Shirts, T-Shirts, T-Shirts, Shoes and of course my mummy's Buddha Plates. Yea laugh go ahead. It's not cheap or am I a bad bargainer? I will stick with the latter.
I love this shot. Amidst the blur is the clear.
Kinda funny, haha.
This pic must enlarge coz its really really a lucky shot.
The food is Bkk is GASTRONOMICALLY DELICIOUS! Green Curry! Oyster Omellete! Crispy Pork! Kway Chap! Pork Burger from Burger King! & Tom Yam Soup!
Woah, after a day's walk with tired legs, one have this for a meal will definitely regained your lost energy!
And did I mentioned, the boys tried Thai Massage. It's the traditional massage so no special whatsoever. I was rather apprehensive before the massage because I'm afraid it's too pain with all the back bending and arm twisting massage seen before. But it turned out to be relaxing.
It really rejuvenates your spirit. The masseuse is really good and its only 150 baht, ard 7SGD for an hour. It's cheap so to speak.
We went clubbing as well. They were raving about RCA, clubbing spot in bkk. When we got there only 20 years old can enter. What a spoiler. Even though my birthday is on the same month, they still do not permit.
So we tried Hollywood, which was recommended by the taxi driver who sent us to RCA. He said Hollywood was better and nicer. When we reached there, it was those Big Neon Signboards and waitress standing on red carpets. The place was okay. They don't really have dancefloor. Just performance on stage and playing MVs on wide projection screens.
After the performance, 4 of us, Brandon, Tang, Wenjie and Me got on the stage and just dance!
HAHA we don't care coz we are on foreign land. So What the heck, Just do it!
The trip was fun, rather fun. love the cheap clothes. Now I noe some singapore retailers marked up freaking high. I liked the feeling of 5 big guys sitting in a 2 ppl tuk tuk! Hows tt for a guinness* record
And on our last minute shopping, Wenjie wants to bring back some local specialities. So I told him why not just bring one tranny home? HAHAHA!
