BKK Trip July 2013 - The rest of it

BKK was a short trip... We woke up early despite the early morning sleep in the car outside the temple... And after the praying and breakfast, we left the temple. Our hotel room is spacious and...

They have ..er.... i have no idea how to call this...

a view that you can see all the way down or up ....that's about ten storeys inside the lobby...quite interesting and scary...

 

My luggage bag is ready for the massive shopping I am anticipating. Mixed feeling about the shopping because i dont want to buy too much stuff but at the same time I am there and I dont want to restrain myself.

Anyways... Koko actually left me to shop with my friends and we ended up finding our own way back to the hotel...And that's our lunch...and then dinner....

And a night shopping area... Asiatique. Took the water ferry to go to the Sky Train that takes us back to our hotel... Sort of shooting two birds with one stone... cos the water ferry is a ride on the Chao Phraya River...

Next Day... Wat Pho to see the Reclining Buddha~

Then... the shopping starts with a lunch picnic...

Shopping in BKK is heaven... I didnt buy as much as I want to because I simply cannot carry and their sizes are not really in my range. Fat, you know.

Went to an obscure restaurant for our dinner....

Final Day in BKK... Sunday! which means Chatuchak Weekend Market. Didnt manage to explore the whole place because we had to rush back to the hotel to check out.

After checking out, we went to Terminal 21 for lunch and window shopping.

Here's my entire shopping loot. Not very impressive. I feel like I should have done better. Not much stuff to talk about. In fact, the handbag and shoes will be saved for Chinese New Year... super long time to go.

Oh! Got to stop by Kaizen before heading back to Brunei...

Conclusion: Got to make a trip back to BKK again. Probably for the Songkran Festival. Oh yes...

BKK Trip July 2013 - Night 1

And so, I finally went to Bangkok for the first time in July 2013. Flying through Brunei with two friends and will be meeting with Koko in Bangkok airport. After freshening up and lunch, we sped to Brunei and arrived with time to spare.

Suvarnabhumi Airport is where we arrived at... and I feels like a country bumpkin. Whoa-ing over 7-11 and Boots. Lol

Had coconut and mangoes while waiting for the elder bro to arrive from Kuala Lumpur~ Regretted that I only ordered the mangoes and not the sticky rice cos we didnt have the chance to try this dish for the rest of the trip. No~~~

After renting a car, we sped towards our destination of the night....and made a stop for supper at McD!

And finally, I tried the Samurai Pork Burger. It is as good as what Koko has always told me.

Night 1 ended with us making a wrong turn, a huge turnaround and then finally arriving at the temple exhausted (because it was an ungodly hour - 2am?)

Btw... here is our rented car, Civic...
