BANGKOK TRIP '13 Day 1

Hey everybody! It has been really long since I last blogged. Anyway, I have unofficially graduated and currently searching for full time job. 

I have to really thank my bf for this trip. Without him, this trip wouldn't have been possible. Since year 1 we have agreed to travel overseas together after we graduate and we managed to fulfill it. 

Initially, we wanted to go 5 days but in end we went 6 days. I kept thinking that 5 days is too little so yeah. I'll be sharing tips about bangkok along the way! It's gonna be a little lengthy but I'm trying my best to share as much as I can. So do read it :)


When? March 7 (Thur) - March 12 (Tue)
Hotel? Citin Pratunam,Superior Studio King. Booked using Agoda.
Airline? AirAsia
Total $ for Hotel + Airline? Around $880


I kept pestering bf to take skytrain with me to T2 just to see sunflowers. Sunflowers are so pretty! Don't you think so?

Where? Located at T2 transit. 
Follow the map for instructions, it's at the smoking corner.

We arrived at Don Muang Airport 2 hours 15 minutes later. We didn't request for airport transfer from the hotel so we went out to take cab instead.

Cab fare? Toll fee (60 baht) + Meter  = 350 baht  **Always remember to on meter!!

I know you guys are curious about the interior of the hotel room.

***If you want bathtub, you have to request upon arrival. I tried requesting on agoda page but it didn't work.

Before I forget, their hotel breakfast isn't tasty. They serve vegeterian so if you are vegeterian you can go there for breakfast :) If not, I would recommend the hotel breakfast at Pratunam pavilion. It's really good but the food run out really fast so be there early!

**Pratunam pavilion hotel is really near citin pratunam. It's just along the road.


First stop, Pratunam market (WHOLESALE, buy two pieces and above cheaper). I don't quite like the stuff sold at pratunam market so I had a quick walk and headed to Big C to buy groceries to stock up for our 6 days stay!


Dinner? Yayoi Japanese Restaurant! It's really cheap and good. A bento cost like $5 only. Mind you, it's restaurant standard and not foodcourt standard!

I heard that Mango Sticky Rice is damn delicious so I told myself that I must try it when I go Bangkok! I always think that mango and glutinious rice doesn't match.Well, it tasted not bad but it's not my favourite. It's good to try it if you have never try it before. The mango are damn juicy and sweet.

My pathetic buys on day 1. Naraya pouch, mirror, pad casing, coin purse. Naraya is very well known in Bangkok. Many tourists love to shop there! It's located at many places like CentralWorld, Tokyu-MBK,Siam discovery.

Okay, I'm done with Day 1 ! I'll be blogging about Day 2 soon so keep coming back :)

Bangkok trip Day 4!

It's day 4! Last day in Bangkok!!!!

Even till the last day, we were determined to buy things. See how crazy we were. We won't let go of any opportunity to shop. I bought a really nice floral hairband on the way back to hotel.

Waited for our mini van to send us off to airport! Took photo with the bell boy there. Forget that I have singapore dollars with me. I felt bad not tipping him.

The transit in thai airport has nothing much for us to shop. Luckily, we had unlimited internet access! We sat down and watched shows online.

Bangkok trip Day 3

It's day 3....!! We headed to Platinum Fashion Mall once again because I wasn't satisfied. I was sick the other day so I didn't buy much. After that, we went to subiya mall, central world & the mall opposite platinum fashion mall. I couldn't remember the name. We didn't have time to go to Chatuchak as our flight is at 1pm and we had to check-in by 11am. What a waste.

After shopping, I went to do a really daring thing! Which is.... to cut my hair short. Omg. No choice, my hair is damaged and bf love short hair so I decided I should just do it. Friends around said that I looked mature in this hairstyle. What do you think?

To be continued......Stay tuned for day 4!!

Bangkok trip Day 2

It's day 2!!!!!! We woke up really early as we headed to bed at like 10pm? Buffet breakfast tasted quite alright but the varieties were really little. Thank god they cooked different dishes every morning! After breakfast, we headed to MBK. I can't believe we spent the whole day at MBK. I used up almost all of my money at MBK.

There were so many things to buy at MBK. Too much we couldn't even handle. We had to buy a shopping trolley bag to dump everything and continued shopping. I passed by this shop and I heard the shop owner shouting to this caucasian guy " 200 baht, 150 baht, 50 baht, okay free!!!!" You see how desperate they are to earn money.

There are so many "199 baht ($8)" bag shops around! You can get all the thai snacks in MBK if you are planning to buy back for relatives. I couldn't believe I spent like $40 on thai snacks?!?! MBK sells plenty of heineken, red bull singlets. And also for guys, the price of a shirt depends on the size. 

DAMN DELICIOUS PHAD THAI AT MBK FOOD COURT

350 baht ($14)

250 baht ($10)

Tips!!!!!

•  In MBK, you can bargain all you want. 

•  Don't be too quick to buy shoes in MBK. (There are plenty of shoes stalls along the road selling  pretty trendy shoes at 100-199 baht!!!)

•  If there are no muscular guys coming along with you, I suggest you get a shopping trolley bag along the road/Platinum Fashion Mall before heading to MBK. Shopping trolley bags are way cheaper there than in MBK.

• Siam paragon is a rather high end shopping mall. Don't bother saving up too much money to shop at siam paragon. Spend it wisely at wholesale malls like Platinum Fashion Mall or chatuchak weekend market(Didn't get to go as we left Bangkok on saturday morning).

To be continued....Stay tuned for day 3!!!!!
