Bangkok Trip (18 Dec - 21 Dec) continue... ...

Writer's Notes: It has been 3-4 months since I last updated my journey to BKK... things are very different since then... but then.. hope I have covered most of my experience in BKK... as this is the first time going so far away from Singapore with friends...

Day 2 (19 Dec 2008)
Still continuing on the 2nd day because as I was looking thru the pics taken, I realised that I missed out alot in the previous two entries. I think this is one of the part that I missed out...

I think that we were shopping at the Weekend Market in BKK since early morning till afternoon about 3pm like that... Our next destination was to go to Siam Paragon there which after that to BKK... We were suppose to take trains to our next destination...

We were actually browsing thru the mini station map on the screen to see which station should we be pressing... be surprised that their underground stations are using the similiar technology as our local MRT... which mean that you press the station u want to go.. then the price will be displayed... the problem was that the underground train station was going one big round and we need to change... but according to the map I was holding.. there was another shorter and direct way...

Then after that, dunno which girl.. abi or esther.. actually know that we should be taking a sky train nearby... so we quickly explore our way thru the crowd and then finally we reached to the sky train... ^_^




Very soon, we reached the Siam Paragon very soon and then we do a little shopping as it wasnt our "type" of luxury shopping... haha.. the dark was quite dark when we walked out the Siam Paragon... and to our next destination MBK... on the way.. there was quite a few shops for us to shop... but the price wasnt very friendly too...



Finally we reached the MBK shopping mall... it is a must-go place if you visit Bangkok.. i dunno why lah.. but it was kind of landmark for Bangkok... Abi took a few pics of it while we were on the bridge... I remembered by then we were all tire out already.. and I actually dun feel like shopping.. I still wondering why we didnt took any pics while we were inside the MBK... bearly have some vivid memories over there...



Day 3 (20 Dec 2008)


It was the last day of our trip.. today we still want the do more shopping.. so we woke up early again and went down for breakfast.. but this time without Esther and Wei Zhong.. because both of them not feeling well.. hence.. they need more sleep and three of us went off... I still remembered the road to the Platinum Shopping Mall from our hotel as the previous night we took the Tut Tut-motor to our hotel.. we passed-by the Platinum mall before we reached our Hotel.. so we decided to walk our way to the Platinum Mall... on the way we experience alot of the local culture... we walked along their back alley... along their road as if we were local... haha.. and then indeed.. I still remember how to walk there.. not bad huh.. still qualify to be officer-level of "tapo-ing"... in army term: Navigation... hahah...

We were quite early when we reached Platinum Mall.. it was the 2nd time we came here.. and Abi recalled that she need to get a few dozens of liquid paper for her sister... and we went up to the top level to the accessories stores to purchase them... other than the liquid papers.. Abi also bought quite a few recycled paper bags.. guess those are her favourite items bah...

Then we slowly do the shopping till all the shops opened... I was shopping for my jeans while Abi and Kiat sitting down and wait for me... Abi took a few pics of me.. but while i'm wearing their SARONG!! >.<>


Initially Kiat didnt dare to wear the sarong to try our the pants.. but in the end when he saw a nice pants.. he tried it on with a sarong... and of coz... abi wont missed this rare chances...



After all these shoppings... there was nothing much for us to shop anymore... time was still early and we went out to have some Dougnuts outside the mall.. the taste was quite different to those in Singapore... but coz of the large amount of chocolates.. we managed to finished it all... ^_^



And so... it was about time to walk back to the hotel... on the way.. Kiat tried out their Maggi Mee at the road store.. this was the things that most of us doesnt wan to try... haha.. but Kiat missed it after his last army visit to Thailand...

Alot of unwillingnes... but it was time to leave BKK... overall it was a very nice experience with them... That was the end of the fun and back to our actual world... no more relaxation... but do we actually relaxed? or we are all tire down after the consecutive days of shoppings?
