Heres the summary of my trip then:
Day:
- Arrived at the airport, werid atmosphere. Thats Thailand I guess. Ride in the bus for very long. Even slept for a long time. Arrived there and place our bags down. Then we went off for the 'Chak-chu-jat' / weekend market. Really wide in there. Stuffy too. But loads of fake stuff...especially the shoes but everything was cheap there. They even have pets selling over there. The rabbits and dogs were sooooooooooo cute! Too bad cant take them back to S'pore. Wasted. After a long walk with my sis, I bought a number of livestrong wristbands. Cheap lar....can't help it. After that, me and my sis met up back with my parents. We decided to take a train. And KAO...no way am I taking the train AGAIN. So took taxi instead. =)) Reach there, rest and off to dinner. We ride in a series 7 BMV. Damn nice with a computer in it too. But....$8 for the ride to the seafood place. But nice nice... The seafood, you gotta try it no matter what. Its delicious...I didn't go tot he toilet too! So its fresh. =))
- Woke up, went for free breakfast then off to our half-day tour. Visit the famous 4-Face and standing buddua and later, to the jewellery factory. The jewelleries there were just plain nice. Beautiful to be exact. Love the rubies and sapphires. After that, we went to the famous MBK Shopping centre. Bought lotsa stuff there. After 5-6hrs of shopping, back to the hotel and set off to chinatown. Cheap birdnest and sharksfin soup. I love the sharksfin soup but birdnest? I dun actually fancy it. Back to the hotel and temperature is set to 10degrees. Super huh?
- Woke up with freezing legs. Washed up and free breakfast. Walked around a nearby shopping centre...nothing for me.. Then we decided to go MBK again to get the things for my friends. Bought 2 t-shirts, a quiksilver cap, 2 bags and a pair of adidas shoes. Tired out, we ate at a good restaurant. Super nice and ultra cheap. After that, walked around here and there, and back to hotel. Sis and mum went for massage. Left me and dad in the hotel. I watched a dvd, 'Monster-in-law'. After that, we ate dinner at the hotel...after dinner, went to a night market which closes at 2am. Nothing much, I bought another shirt again. Thats all I guess. =)
- Final day, ate breakfast and rushed to MBK AGAIN for any last shopping needs. Hahaha.... me and my sis were nuts. We went back to the same shop for the past 3 days. Even the shop-keeper remembers us. Cant help it, nice clothes, nice service and nice prices. *Grins happily* Back to hotel, get ready and off the airport... i got into trouble with the check in thing security thing because of a damn stapler!! *Slaps forehead* Felt like bashing them. Thats all lar. Slept here and there...And yeah, I had great fun. =))
Thats all for now. hope i didn't bore you to death. And oh yes, one more thing. Those people who got a job in Singapore....especially as a taxi-driver. Be glad you have one. I realised that the country in Bangkok, the taxi-drivers are not being highly paid. Their starting fare was like....$1? Be glad you have a job please. Those people there are real pitiful... Anyway, Nuff said lar.
