Bangkok Trip (18 Dec - 21 Dec)

It was actually quite a rush decision for the Bangkok trip with Abi, Kiat and Zhutou.. and we quickly go reserve the air tickets and the hotel room from one of the agency in Peninsular Plaza... Total we were chraged $480 just for the trip only... but we manage to secure a 3-4 star hotel for 4 days 3 nights and the SwissAir airline that transit at Bangkok... SwissAir airline is not a budget airline and Kiat told me that budget airline is actually more uncomfortable than this...

Day 1 (18 Dec 2008)
It was on a thursday and most of us are working on that day... I actually packed my bag the night before and just need to put all my necessories only... so on that day... we went back home individually and agreed to meet up in Changi Airport Terminal 1 at 7.30pm and no one allowed to be late.... and very nice that everyone is on time and take turns to check-in at the counters....
There we are inside the SwissAir plane being the 'male' models for iPhone... that was only the 2nd day that I bought it... so i didnt really update the version correctly... that day abi still laugh at me for not updating the version... Zzzz..

The plane ride was only less than 2 hours and I didnt manage to finish my movie "Hell Boy 2" yet and the movie was paused for landing... sianz.. luckily Kiat got those movies and will send it to be once we go back to Singapore...
I think it was about 11plus in the night when we reached Bangkok's airport... Zhutou was the first to be cleared from the custom and I was the 2nd... and luckily i was the second.. coz i manage to catch zhutou walking towards to the wrong direction... All of them got the wrong idea to get their lagguage at Gate 6 where it was damn far from the actual collection point... But still... we manage to get our bags and there go our frist experience in Bkk...

We met up with the agent who suppose to bring us to our hotel right outside the gate 6... and to our expectation... they really got Abi's name wrongly and written it as XUN YU... lolx... I noticed the helpless & disappointed face of her... but at least we found the agent... When we stepped out of the airport... the weather was quite cooling... but the air was really quite polluted and there was some smelly stench floating around... We quickly board the van that fetching us with 2 other visitors and it was about 3omins ride to our hotel named ECOTEL



Our room was just side by side which is 508 & 510... Me, Abi and Kiat shared room 510 while Zhutou and Wei Zhong (Zhutou's BF) shared room 508... It was already near 1am and we still need to go to the nearby 7-eleven to get chewing gums... bottled water.... shampoo and body foam...

By the time we went to bed and sleep.. it was about 2am and we got to wake up at 6plus in the morning to get ready for our shopping and exploration spree... poor abi who has to wake up earlier than both of us... It wasnt a very good night sleep as the air-con actually made some irritating noise which disturbed me and kiat... but not that abi who is so deeply in her sleep...


Day 2 (19 Dec 2008)
To be continued... ....
