Once upon a time in Bangkok...

I missed my BKK (aka Bangkok). I missed buying wearing my statement Tees in Pratunam Mall (and they are lying in my cupboard). I missed the Tom Yam there, the most. Argh. *cries*

Hence, I am dedicating this post to my Bangkok trip memories, since I never blog about them anyway. :P

The trip was during this mid-year of 2008, if I remember correctly. We (as in my Boy and I) booked our accomadation, called Samran Place which was conviniently located in the center of BKK town. Here are the pictures:-

The room is quite spacy. So it wont be packed even if you bought about 4-5 luggage of clothes.

The door to the room. I think the room can fit about 3-4 person if you are coming along with a family or close friends.

There's nothing to shout about the toilet, though.

Upon touching down, we went to Platinum Mall, which is about 10-15 minutes away from Samran to get our tummy well-fed.

*This pic is taken after we had our lunch, though. XD
We had tried some food in the top-level food court. Not bad though, I guess the food is usually good whenever your tummy is hungry.

(Sorry for the Muslim people for the Non-halal pictures )

Pork Rice. This was good! :D I love the salty vegetables (kiam chai).

We got to try out the crepe thingy too, since it is highly recommended by lesdames peeps.

They are not bad, but I don' t really fancy them that much. :P

Colour kuihs beside the crepe stall. So cute, aren't they?

I was actually very happy to blog about Black Canyan Coffee, but now since it is in my town already, then nothing to shout about lah.

Their coffee is not so sweet unlike Starbugz or KopiBeans. I like them. :P

Me slurping the Canyon-kopi.

Staying in BKK, we also bought a package trip to the oh-so-famous floating market. It is a must-go for a 'kampung-girl' like me. :P

This is the scenario when I arrived early in the morning. Not so crowded yet.

Look at these sampans/boats, its getting 'hawt' down there.

The worst is that I almost wanted to tell the auntie I wanted the sausages in her sampan.

And it turns out to be floating bananas. -_-

The fruits which are sold by the people there looks really tempting, seriously.
I got myself a pack of look-like-very-sweet mangos but it turn out to be tasteless. -_-

Tempting,eh? The mee sold by this uncle was okay. I like it. :)

The crowd is comin' in.

After the floating session, the tour send us off to the elephant village. And of coz, as a Malaysian like me, we have our own elephant rides our own country too. Hence, no rides for me, tq. :P


Layan diri with the elephant.

Next, we went for a sight-seeing at the temple. The famous one, I guess. -_-

lovely cravings, dont you think? :) with the lovely us picture. :P

BKK is also famous with their wood cravings. Their work was hell-good as you can see in the pics.

Lady with her cravings.

Man with his mice. I dont think this is three blind mice.

This one was cool. The cravings were so tiny!! And the craft work was an eye opener for me.

The tree below takes about years to complete if I'm not mistaken. Look at these hard work!!

Anyway, the below pics are not within the travel package. Just some random photos. :)

Me with the LRT. (Saja layan the camera man. LOL)

One thing I love to do most in BKK, is to makan Swensen Ice Cream.

Their ice cream were so much cheaper than Malaysia. 69Baht for a 'Jar' of ice cream.

Super-damn-cheap!! You'll need to fork out more than RM10 for a cup of ice cream in Malaysia.

Damn.

Greedylicious with my yummylicious.

Nevertheless, this is the famous four-faces-buddha in the heart of BKK city. :) Many business people come here to pray for "good luck" and "wealth". :)

That's all folks. Til next time. :D
