As promiseD, the fotos and updates from our recent BKK trip. This trip is less interesting...feel that the things is no longer as cheap and variety is also quite similar to what we've seen the last time. But since the focus this round is on home decoratives, we made use of our time to grab whatever nice decorations we can find and of course within our budget. There was this nice rose frame that I almost bought if not for the expensive pricetag...we ended up getting a cheaper version from Daiso in Singapore...smaller but a lot cheaper. Kekeke..oh ya, not forgetting we caught our World Cup finals at the cafe downstairs at the lobby...the sports commentary suxs.
Preparing to leave our house...see the two small luggage? You'll be in for a surprise later.
Our flight. First time we are taking JetStarAsia...not bad for a budget airline..we bought our own food and drinks up the plane..so need not buy any from them. Luckily its a short flight so the space is quite sufficient. I am beginning to worry about my Europe flight...must choose a good seat with more legroom.
Chicken Sandwich from MacCafe...Quite nice for a fast food joint. Ate this at the departure hall...dear did something silly here..by answering to the answering machine in the lift. Shall not elaborate in case he kills me. Kekeke...
Our departure gate...C12. We were glad that they use this main airport instead of the new budget airport.
Nice view from the sky.
Suan Lum Night Bazaar (Similar to Chatuchak but it operates only at night and opens everyday unlike Chatuchak which only opens on weekends.)
Mobile ATM? I thot its cool initially until one of my colleague mentioned, what if the robber robs this lorry and drives it away? Then all the $$ will be gone. LOL! Guess I got lots to learn from them.
First time we took their public bus. They have this lady onboard the bus which'll sell you the ticket depending on where you wanna go. We took this bus ride to MBK from our hotel since we couldn't get a cab. Thanks to a friendly local that told us which bus to take. 2 persons cost 24baht..less than S$1 for both. But we still had to walk a distance from the bus stop to MBK..but its a fun experience!
First day grabs~ imagine we only reached hotel at 4+pm. Kekeke
2nd Day ~ Chatuchak Weekend Market (This is where we'll grab all the nice decoratives for our new house). We spent the entire saturday there..and even had time to go back on sunday.
Fried Quail Eggs? With the recent bird flu going on..guess less pple dare to eat chicken eggs now.
Yummy~ only 5baht per stick...thats about S$0.03cents only!! I din try though since we were quite full from the hotel buffet breakfast.
Bought 2 nice square plates from this store...but the stupid hotel bellboy broke it while transporting our luggage. :(.. Anyone going BKK can help me to buy again? We only managed to save 1 square plate and 4 chawanmushi cups.
Cute puppies for sale..and cheap too. Too bad we can't bring them back. Good thing about thailand is its people are dogs lovers..unlike China. Yuks!
Keke...dear bought this so that I can find him amidst the crowd. Nearly lost my way when I wander off to shop on my own...dear had to wait at the small cafe for close to 3 hours for me. So glad he was still there when I finally found my way.
A glimpse of the small alleys that'll make u sweat BIG time. We chose to walk around the outside this time..cos the shops at the outside are bigger and its not so hot...even the portable fan I specially brought along this time prove to be rather useless in Chatuchak.
Cotten candy for me when I finally found my way back to dear. Hee.
Wierd creature...not a rat, not a snake and is not a leech. Anyone knows what is this? Its feeding on those leftover food..can you imagine if the shop pple didn't wash the utensils properly and you have to eat with it next round?? I guess its still important to choose the place you eat overseas even if you have a strong stomach.
Day 3 grabs ~ See the Quilt & Tatami we bought? Had a hard time laggin them back to the hotel under the hot weather..of cos dear did most of the carrying. Hehe...
Ratten ball decoratives for our house..the small ones are given foc..frankly speaking, I dunno what to do with them when I bought them..but just find it nice and artistic. Now it is sitting in some corner of my living room.
Our first COUPLE T-SHIRT! I bought it to surprise dear...see the monkiee? Cute right?
Tuk Tuk - we were nearly scared out of our seats when one of the tuk tuk we took did a stunt U-TURN on a busy street...hehe..but it was fun. But a note to new travellers to BKK, its cheaper to travel on cab rather than tuk tuk now..cos tuk tuk has grown into more like a tourist attraction thingy.

Many xiao wugui for Sale~
~ The SupperClub ~
Nono..this is nothing like Singapore's satay club. This is actually a pub cum disco. Real cool...we went to the dinner section for some fine dining as well as to celebrate our 2nd year anniversary. Cool~ The bed nearly made me fall asleep. Too bad the hunks there are mostly gays. What a pity.
We ended our Bangkok trip with a meal at our favorite local restuarant...din get to take down the name, I only know how to go. We were glad its still there cos they serve the best tomyan gung! And glad that the ahgua waitress is gone too ...we can finally enjoy our meal in peace. LOL!
