I decided to not be lazy and share with you some photos. Although you would have seen them on my fb.
We left for the airport at 515am to catch the 7ish flight and reached the land of smiles 2hrs later.
Was stuck in the airport for a while as my bro was trying to get the roaming card. It eventually didn't work and he wasted his S$8 (I think), with no opportunity to fb or tweet. I bought a sim card at 99baht and it only lasted 2 smses and a call.
For my last few trips, I would arrange for two-way airport transfer but I heard the prices have gone up a lot nowadays and was told to get a metered cab instead. It costs us 350baht and return was 400baht.
I booked us a proper hotel this time because Mummy wanted it. Little did we know that the hotel we were staying in - Baiyoke Sky, is the tallest building in Thailand. Bro took the bigger bed because he said I get to sleep on one back home. But I'm sharing with one who takes up a lot of space! Doesn't matter anyway because I don't like sleeping nearer to the door if I have a choice.
He claimed to hear things on our first night but I think it's just the barely sound proven structure. Although I had a weird dream on the first night too and got really scared suddenly when I was alone in the room the second day. Oh well, perhaps they were just pure coincidences.
Nevertheless, I think it's perfect for triple-sharing. Room's big but too dim. Walking to platinum mall can be a bitch too because you have to squeeze through Pratunam market.
We stayed on the 25th and this is the view from our room.
Enjoying the day view while having breakfast.
After checking in, where else but Platinum Mall?
Day 1 loot.
Since Central mall was closed, we headed to MBK for dinner.
We ordered so much and just when we thought we were done, they served us ice-cream.
No matter how full you are, you MUST have this coconut tart!
Missing it still.... Can someone bring it in? Only 10baht!
Day 2 was to where else but Chatuchak market. Taxi driver sent us to the wrong entrance and we had to walk past the wet market and pets selling area. Not a good experience definitely and we almost couldn't find our way to the clothes stores. So what if we did eventually. I only bought one top... Bro was the happy one as he grabbed 5 berms.
After a short 2hrs stay at Chatuchak, we went back to the hotel for lunch and this was mine.
Give me western food anytime!
After lunch back to Platinum again. This time, without daddy because poor him waited for us for hours on the first day.
We explored the hotel at night after dinner and became typical tourists instantly.
So much so we went back on the last morning to snap more pictures beacuse lighting would be better.
My mum made my dad do the hand waving thingy and she was saying bye bye too... So funny!
