Finally after 12345 days, i have finished editing the colours and resizing the bkk pictures!!! Think we used the wrong mode for the dslr, most of the pics were like dull and very pixelated cuz we set to high ISO. =.= And it wasn't very obvious when we looked through the pictures from the cam itself until i uploaded all into the computer.. :( But anyhowz, here comes the bkk post!! Beware though, lots of pictures coming your way! ;)
Day 1:
looking tired... I had to wake up at 4am to prepare for the flight, but i slept only when it was 3am!!!! ZzzzZzzz
B said the icon pic for the arrival flight machiam air plane crash lol.
HOT PINK CAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We stayed in I Residence Sathorn for the 3 nights. I normally booked my hotels through booking.com. Even the hotels i stayed when i was in the States are booked through this website ;)
It's a 3 stars hotel located very near to Silom, which is where Patpong is. Only 2700baht for 3 nights, around SGD$39/night! Cheap right!! tsktsk! :p But most importantly, there is FREE WI-FI provided!!!! Best!! That's how i managed to tweet every night! ;) hahahah.
This is the hotel's tuktuk. They provide free shuttle service to the BTS station almost every hour! Convenient right! :)
We couldn't check in yet since check in time was around 1pm, and we reached the hotel at... 9am?? Wanted to rest and pig a while but can't :(
So........ we went to MBK!!!! We need food........
LOL at the Cappuccino cup. Check out the engrrishh.....
SHAO YING!!! IF U ARE READING THIS!!!! THIS I WHERE I GOT YOUR SUPPOSINGLY HEINEKEN SINGLET BUT THEY GAVE ME T-SHIRT INSTEAD!!!!!!!!!
@#$%^&*()_)(^&*()(*&^%$^&*()
tuktuk~~
After MBK and Siam Square, we went back to the hotel to check in! :)
Like not bad right the room! There's microwave, kettle, TV (& we can watch world cup!!!)....... for a rather budget hotel! This is rather good! ;)
our shoppingsszzxx
Sat tuktuk out again to PatPong!
Dinner!!! I wouldn't say its not nice, but its quite home-cooked. So like, super healthy. Tom Yum soup didnt have the Tom Yum soup feeling, think its cuz of the lack of spices and herbs :(
Not much shopping was done at Patpong too. It was surprisingly, quite quiet. Didn't manage to watch any of the trannies or pingpong show too. Everytime i promised myself to watch it when im there, it'd fail. lol. The people are really WAY too aggressive in promoting their pingpong show which is a major turn off. Sigh sad. never get to watch again :(
Then it rained... HEAVILY. We were tired. All we wanted was sleep and massage. lol. So we head back to the hotel and had a friggin SHIOKKKKKKKKK 1hr foot massage and i fell asleep. I never once fell asleep when im doing a massage ok. Like, i don't understand how can some people sleep when people are there squeezing and pressing your leg/feet. But i guess i was really way too tired, just dozed off. lol.
DAy 1 BUYS! :D
I love love love the bag and the high waist pants!!!
B says i look like some thai girl... =.= lol. Anw, i think this sort of wire hairband that allows you to twist and turn is kinda 'in' now in bkk! Actually, i saw a few local online shops' model wearing it as an accessory already. Bought a few back... Stef i got one for you too!!!! :)

Day 2:
in a hot pink cabbbbbbb!!! ;)
How can we ever miss out on Platinum! :O Anw, met Sue and Off for a short while! Oh gosh how much i miss them!!!!!!!!!
luv luv!!!
Cute Off!!!! :D
hahahahahaha~
We met for a really short while only, like 2-3hrs? Cuz Sue had to go back to Rayong! :( And Off went off with his friend... :( But nvm! Cuz in 3weeks time, Sue will be here in SUNNY ISLAND SINGAPORE! :))) We'll be going to Universal Studio Singapore, pretty excited!! Stef u coming along anot???! ;)
shoppingzzz
My shopping bag!! Poor boy had to 'lug' my hot pink shopping bag all over for me.. lol~ Anw, u should have seen how the girls/gays/trannies reacted when they saw B! :/ lol
& we headed to Khao San Road at night!
lots of ang mohs~
we had street food for dinner that night. We hopped around and tried almost everything that was available. lol~ The guy was cooking Pad Thai btw, tastes absolutely YUMMY!!!!
B having mango sticky rice and I was holding onto Pad Thai with 2 vegetarian spring rolls!
Also considered as a street food.............. INSECTS!!!!
$#%&)*^#$^&*() U SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE FRIGGIN COCKROACH!!!! IT WAS ALMOST 8CM LONG!!!!!!!!!!!
The person gave 1 silkworm for B to try....
And he decided that it was nice...........
so.....
HE FRIGGIN BOUGHT A PACK TO EAT!!!! AND HE SAID IT TASTES JUST LIKE.........
POTATO CHIPS!!!!!!
JUST.TELL.ME.ABOUT.IT...........................
Pretty nice shot right? :) After snapping this pic, the 2 guys at the back of the alley (u can see from the pic), shouted so loudly at B. lol. Wonder what's gg on at the back of the alley....~
Banana pancake!
We were feeling tired..... legs aching....
so we had... FISH SPA!!!
My virgin try ok. mad scared!!! I took like 15 mins before i dare to put 1 foot into the water....
hahah classic. managed to capture B laughing from the ticklish moments!
K my turn.. haha. Not even the entire foot in, like only the sole??? lol~ Mad itchy and ticklish!!!
Finally gathered enough courage to put my entire foot inside the water. Wah the fishes just chiong like mad. Haven been doing pedicure for the last 2 months, confirm have alot of dead skin lor!
much better...
DAY 2 BUYS! :D
Saw the sandals? Mad love the sandals ok!! Got it off Khao San road for only 150baht!! Like... 6bux only! ;)
For those BC fans, u may find this familiar! It was from Vel's collection!! Didn't managed to get it from the collection and there was no BO. Uber sad :( But lucky me i found it when Sue was hunting for belts in a belt shop, and it was the LAST PIECE!!!!! Lucky or what!! HURRAYYY!!! And obviously, it was much cheaper! hahahah ok happy like mad fullstop.

Day 3:
lol model wannabe?
Omg B u look almost exactly the same in all 4 shots =.=
First time taking the MRT in Bkk. Usually we'll just take the BTS train. But look at the MRT 'card'. cool right! tsk! ;p machiam chips like that!
CHATUCHAK!!!!!!!!!
We reached rather early, so the streets were pretty empty.
lol. this is called the portable changing room! Anywhere everywhere! hahahah~
time to rest for some food and ice tea!
I was like............. "B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! U LOOK LIKE THE MANNEQUINS!!! STRAW HAT AND SHADES!!! GO GO GO I TAKE PICTURE FOR U!!!!!"
LOL
Whoo this dessert is LOVE!!! I want to try and make it at home too!
Central World:
:(
Went to dye my hair @ a salon near the hotel. Only 1000baht for my hair length! About $44?? Cheap or what!!! :p
Dyed deep blonde.
View from the roof of our hotel~
Dinner!
Green curry wasn't fantastic! But the thai-style omelette was great, so was the tom yum!!!! YUMZ!
Did massage too! Just maybe 20steps beside our hotel! Aiyayayayayaaaa!!! I prefer the foot massage we did on Day 1. Shiok max!!! Thai style full body massage, as always, is quite torturing. U know.. its quite pain, and all the stretching. I am not even flexible to start with :(
DAY 3 BUYS! :D
Surprisingly, i didn't buy alot. ;(
Bought this cute box to store all my hairbands, bangles and other accessories :)
***
Day 4:
ZEN.
Restaurant had a super duper weird smell. Quite a turn off, esp since its considered as one of the more atas restaurant here in BKK.
Salmon was ok, but the beef was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And with unbelievable prices! hahaha!
And it was time to head to the airport.................
In the plane...
hahaha i will load all the pictures into fb soon soon!!! More pics will be there ;)
Well................................ BKK this time round was abit disappointing. Not many clothes caught my eyes which was quite sad. Normally i'll go "Wow Whoo WOw i want this i want that Wow whoo!!!". This time round was just... "ok.... k la... errrrrrrr...." lol. sort of buy for the sake of buying cuz if don't buy, like very dui bu qi to myself. haa~ Prices were higher too. Maybe its due to the protest, they didnt have any business. So since now business has resumed and tourists are back, prices are jerked up to make up for the loss. That's what i think but maybe its wrong. But even in places like Platinum, the wholesale price also not say its very cheap-cheap!
Anw, now i am jobless. In a dilemma on what to work. Rejected the yogurt offer cuz when i think of all the mopping, cleaning and sweeping, i think im not cut out for that. So it's down to being a tuition teacher or retail sales. But i can only start tuition on the 1st. So meanwhile, what should i do????!!!!!
ARGGGHHHH!!!!
Hi, may i know where u got your floral romper from? It's very nice! :)
ReplyDeletethis post can totally be a guide for my Bangkok trip already! Thanks girl for the great post! (=
ReplyDeleteHey! I got it in Bangkok, Platinum mall. Lol. I kind of 'forced' myself to buy cuz i wanted to get my clothes at wholesale price, so i had to get 3 clothings from the shop. Glad that its nice ;) hehehe
ReplyDeleteTo Mei En: Hey babe, thanks alot! I'm glad it helped!! Stock up on those sunblock!! Friggin sunny!!!
ReplyDeleteIs I Residence Sathorn the same as I Residence Silom? If not the same, would you recommend I Residence Silom? Why did you choose Sathorn instead? Juz want to hear your opinions... hope you won't mind it (:
ReplyDeleteHey there,
ReplyDeleteNope they are totally different just bearing almost the same name. Well actually, they are very close to each other, prob a 8mins drive apart only.
What makes I Residence Silom good is becuz it just beside the BTS station, which is really really convenient. And there's a night mkt nearby if im not wrong..
I chose I Residence Sathorn cuz 1) ratings is higher than silom (8.2 VS 8.0) 2) MUCH cheaper 3) Free Wi-Fi, silom uses wired internet meaning we cant use iphone to surf the internet.. yea and sathorn provides the free shuttle service so it wasnt much of an inconvenience. Perhaps the only thing is gg back to the hotel since shuttle service did not provide any trips back to the hotel.
U may want to try Silom though ;) and tell me abt ur experience! :) Hope that helps.
Hi!Love reading your blog posts! :) Just wana ask u which place did u and your bf go to find those fred perry polo tee in bangkok? cos i can't seem to find them the last time i went there :x Thanks in advance! :)
ReplyDeleteHey babe!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! That really made my day :)
Btw, we got it at Patpong!! U can find alot of stalls selling over there.. the stalls i usually frequent is just right outside of patpong. Otherwise, there is 1 stall at Khao San road too! :) But there's only 1 so gotta open ur eyes big and try to spot, near the entrance! ;)
hey babe i've nv gone to BKK on my own before and i'd be very happy if you could tell me where are the good places to shop in BKK? and how much does the airfare cost? (:
ReplyDeletethanks.(:
Hey there!
ReplyDeleteWell actually i list all the places i went on my post alr, but if u're girl, shopping would be good at Platinum, Siam Square and Chatuchak (go to the clothing session). U may want to check out Patpong for those fake fred perry etc hahaha or like pingpong/sex shows they are pretty cool haha!Khao San road is known as the backpackers street, lots of ang mohs, quite happening over there too. Airfare if flying by budget, should cost u less than $200 (if u book early) :) Mine was around $250 cuz i booked late + i included the tiger insurance thingy ;) I heard flights to bkk now are rather cheap after all the fighting and whatnot but its safe now to go bkk :)
hope that helps!
