Amazing Thailand!
Tuesday, March 18, 2008
It was a terrific trip. We managed to catch up on our badly needed rest over the 4 days in Bangkok. We had great food, mind-blowing shopping sprees and not to mention the thai massages! We stayed in a cozy little hotel, strategically located at Saladeng. The location was excellent as the BTS and MRT were a stone's throw away from the hotel.
Each time I visit Bangkok, I'm always impressed by how tourist-friendly the country is. The transportation system makes most part of the city accessible. The only complaint I have will be the traffic congestion in Bangkok. Though the taxi fares are relatively cheap, the wait in the gridlock can be frustrating.
This is our cheery little hotel room. I absolutely love this hotel for their clever use of colours in the rooms!
Our first makan stop at MBK food court. I've been craving for good Pad thai and the pig's trotters! The fats was simply yummilicious!
This is one Chinese eatery you should never underestimate! We chanced upon this restaurant during our last visit and fell head over heels in love with their beef noodles and xiao long bao! We liked the food so much that we went back again for our last meal before we left Bankgkok.
Calling out to all girls out there! This is THE place to shop!! They have a wide variety of fashion wear, accessories, bags and shoes! More importantly, it's air-conditioned with wide walking aisles. Everything there was amazingly CHEAP too!! 200 baht (less than SDG10) for a pretty dress!! Chaktuchak market? I can give that a miss!
My first time taking a public bus in Bangkok. It was quite an experience!
We knew we went to the right Thai restaurant when we saw more locals than expats dinning there. The food was authentic and palatable!
Our holiday finally came to an end last Sunday with the nauseating thought of returning to work the following day at the back of my mind. But hey, on a more positive note, there's no free lunches in this world. Without work, there won't be any more extravagant holidays. So, I shall work harder and look forward to my next holiday in June!
