Day 1
Alighted at BangKok and got onto the mini van... There were practically no queues in the airport... Process was seamless... I would have to thank the PAD supporters for dealing so much damage to the economy... Haha...
Journey was bumpy... travelling the expressway kinda reminds me of Taiwan... Stepped into Princess Pathumwan hotel... It was magnificent... My impression of the hotel leveraged when the counter guy/receptionist served us... He was like the embodiment of glam & famous... I don't know how to describe but he really looked like a star... I think that's the most good-looking male I've ever seen so far... Can't believe it's a Thai... I was sneaky enough to take a picture of him...
We proceeded for lunch at "Chine Club" to have some traditional Thai cuisine... The green curry and lemon grass tea was really yummy...
Headed for some "light" shopping at MBK shopping centre and met up with Timo cousin's family... Went for seafood at Chinatown and later a BIG BOWLFUL OF BIRDNEST!!!
Julian is so cute... was playing the brow thingy with him...
Day 2
Second day was a killer... I shopped like there's no tomorrow in Chatuchak... It's really a shopping heaven... For someone like me that's not into shopping... I must say that it is really the nicest place you can find... Really suitable for people like me that prefers comfy & price over brand... bought alot of nice cooling shirts... Over the 20 years, the number of times I've actually bought shirts for myself can be count in just one hand... Kinda pathetic eh...
This baby Chow Chow was taken at the animal section of Chatuchak... All the dogs looked SO adorable...
Results of 7 hours of crazy non-stop shopping... Tada! I arranged the clothes for some photo-taking while Timo was bathing... Sense of achievement eh...
Headed to Siam for dinner at Greyhound Cafe and shopped for Thai delicacies... Timo recommended me Gourmet Thai... Premium quality Thai delicacy... I'm sure you can see how much Fattim devoured the pack of assorted dried fruits I've brought for X'mas...
Fooling around with the giant Lollipop
As we pushed this cart around... People were looking at us... Timo felt so ashamed of it but I thought it's great... Should be proud of the stuff you get... Haha...
This is what I got for the people... S$135 worth of snacks... And that concludes Day 2...
Day 3
Headed for a full-body Thai massage at Healthland... The massage was awesome... I've always percieved massages as sleazy and dirty but I was wrong... Was really afraid even before the session started... I'm really sensitive to people touching me... The goosebumps and tickles I get whenever someone massages my back...
The entire massage lasted approximately 2 hours... The soft new age music playing, the dimly lit ambience and most importantly, I didnt feel the slightest ticklish-ness... Thought I was in nirvana for a moment...
The masseurs were professional... Was amazed by the knowledge and power of massage... How each areas of the entire body were dealt... It's really interesting... The massages were so "intricately" designed that even hands had differnet areas needed to be "pressed"... I was contemplating whether to tip the lady 100 or 200 baht... The second-half of the session made me tip 200 baht... She stepped, knee, pulled on the back area of my body... I felt so relieved from my backache with her cracking my bones... Shiok!
Headed to another restaurant... I really liked the design... Was really classy...
And this is where my sickness started to kick in... Felt like crap after that... Couldn't proceed to the floating flower market as I was dying... Took Panadol and continued to "tong" for another 6 hours with all the travelling at Pratunam until Timo said it was time to stop... He commented that my face looked pale... 2nd time in a month... I couldn't even take another step... Took the TutTut back hotel and I can't recall anything... Felt so sick... Lucky Timo took care of me or I couldn't have recovered this fast...
Day 4
I felt better... Couln't eat much... Swallowed medicine and did some last minute shopping... Felt happy to get back Singapore... After travelling a few Asian countries... Singapore is really still the best... and of course... I miss my friends! :)
