Bangkok ~ 3rd - 7th Dec

Took our last holi of the year (pob next yr's too..depending on our financial budget bah).. to shopping paradise - Bangkok~

Walked alot throughout the trip...the no of times we took public tpt is seriously countable by fingers..which probably explains why though we ate so much we still managed to not gain weight! (p/s: I even lost half a kg loh, mai siao siao~)

Didn't really planned itinery for the trip..our tour guide was my dearest hubby-to-be, DG~
Became quite a strain on him to lead us cox we all have different needs and we didn't plan a single thing at all prior to the trip..Sorry love...

Our company for this trip? DG, me, his friend Hanwei n wife Jessie, n Jessie's mum..weird combi? haha but it was an enjoyable trip cox her mum was a good sport..can u imagine she walked and walked throughout the 5 days w us, without complaining or grumbling..*thumbs up* though the best "walker" award still goes to my DG~ he really can walk de loh...he's an even better shopper than most girls..hah so see..i got myself a shopper-hubby..but luckily he doesnt spend as much as us girls when we r shopping..


took Tiger Airway...seriously, LAST TIME! 1st, they delayed our flight, from 7+am till 12+ noon...then they changed our boarding gate 3 times! by the time we took off..it was well past our original scheduled time..tt's wat happens when we decide to save tt few dollars for more clothes! lesson learnt..




finally reached bkk at 2+pm (their local time - they r later by an hr)..took the skytrain to our hotel..cheaper and fastest way...airport tf via coach takes ard 1.5hr, taxi ard 45min, skytrain 30min..

found our hotel pretty easily..Indra Regent..quite a good location if you want somewhere near to Platinum Mall, Isetan, etc...

they upgraded our room to a superior room w a larger bed...super king size! damn big...

checked into our room, dumped our luggages and headed straight for the streets..
1st thing we noticed...their Mr Macdonald is a different one w hands together in a local greeting pose..sawadika~

every single food of theirs come w fresh, raw veg~ no wonder all the locals r so slim!

papaya salad~ like their sauce best...

ordered pork suki...is actually abit like mini claypot steamboat where u dump all ur ingredients into a sweet soup..

glass noodles..abit too damp n sticky..


tom yum goong

bbq squid..this is delicious~

this 1st meal in bkk rendered us 1000baht poorer! we were definitely 被砍菜头!!!

subsequently walked past another stall further down n saw this bbq stand tt gives a heavenly smell~ n we swore to try this out the next day...which we did...the chicken is damn good!!!! coupled with their sweet n spicy thai sauce... thumbs up!

walked isetan..

can u guess wat this is??? underwear!!! they r creative n definitely good in their handicraft...

all the xmas deco were up and the whole street was brightly lit w colourful lightings..


even till late at night, their traffic was horrible..


street food..fried chicken wings..


breakfast was provided by hotel at their garden terrace...

my share of bf...might look miserable to some but definitely more than enough to fill me..i had to give half of my egg to dg cox I couldnt finish..

found this quirky looking keyboard slippers on Bangkok streets...it's everywhere...seems like the lastest fashion craze there..

chicken kway teow soup...roadside stall..in the 5 days of holi, most of our meals were settled w this kinda roadside stalls..cheap n good..

iced milk coffee and tea...every single food of theirs is so damn sweet!!!! even their road side stalls, u will see jars of sugar which u can add to to ur food at ur free will! and I see so many locals adding so much sugar to their food!



saw this very interesting boxer at chatuchak...cute? haha~

this mini doughnut is very nice!!! cox we had it while it's hot...

had our dinner at a jap restaurant opp Siam Square..


shared a bowl of ramen w dg~




street hawker...pad thai for supper ...thai style fried thin kway teow...super nice thou is scary how much oil she uses..


small blue-shell crabs...their locals like to use this in their salads...

crispy 炸孟...disgusting!

dg..happily licking his dragon fruit...lol

proceeded to chinatown on the 3rd day...bypassed this small coffeeshop that sells traditional braised goose meat.. thou it was a chance thing but we were really lucky cox this shop's goose meat is really really very good!!

n their bittergourd soup damn power~ not bitter n definitely 够火候~ comparable to my gdma's...haha..

even thou we had a filling bf just barely half an hr ago..we still finished this whole plate of meat n the soup...too good to waste!

this chinatown trip is fulfilling in the sense that it's a 美食 trip..all the food we tried r just so nice!!! 姜汤汤圆...their 汤圆 is handmade, not mass production, so it's springy and filled full of sesame paste...n thou im not a ginger person (in fact i vomit upon eating ginger) I helped finish the soup...tt's how nice it is~

their 杂菜饭 stall...

we really ate and ate...soon after the goose n the soup, we proceeded for our bird nest and sharks fin...

this only costs us 300baht..which is ard $13!!! their soup is thick n up to taste...

ordered their best n most expensive bird nest..血燕..at only 1000baht = $43~


walked platinum mall n found this shop selling couple t-shirts..specially bought this for our wedding studio shoot..

tried this crepe stall a few yrs back..n it is still around on my this trip..so how could I miss it out?!?! queued for it...


my last meal at BKK airport...tom yam hor fun..

thai fish cake

dg tried out their burger..n it came in purple colour! hah~
p/s: my camera went low batt cox I forgot to charge it..and so there r many photos which i need to wait for jessie to upload b4 i can post it up..
