My trip to Bkk in general

Let just start with a really cute picture of Kelly.

Bangkok was alright. Went by Jetstar and went home by Scoot which is a really huge plane (3-4-3) as compare to Jetstar 3-3. It was so hot, that I almost melt. I perspire a lot. I guess that’s why many use those no sleeve singlet shirts.

Our hotel was really terrible. It was is a small lane really remind of Geylang area minus the girls. Really a small lane that cars, vans, tuktuk, motors and pedestrians had to fight into. Is like a car and a half in width. And basically they use it as 2 lanes. Really just a bad shabby place for me. But if you are a blogshop owner or love buying clothes like that, you will love the place. Cause exactly that is where First House Hotel is located. Go down and you can start buying at least 3 pieces of clothing in a shop until 4pm.

First House Hotel is an apartment kind of hotel. Remind me like those Fragrance hotels. But the location really bad. I took taxi there, and there was a massive jam in the city. Like we were stuck in the Centralworld that stretch of road forever. Taxi cost 700B. My dad friend took taxi, reach city at midnight cost just 200+B. So ya, way overprice for us.

We went to the new airport and you just have to keep going down to take the train to the city. I never took the train at all when I was there. So I don’t know anything about it. I don’t know even know what is my nearest station at. Baiyoke hotel is like behind us, sort of, and that is like 150m from the train.
Our hotel is the lane at Glow hotel, Shibuya 19 there. There is also the famous wanton mee that many Singaporeans go to. It is nice but the portion is small, don’t be fool by the huge bowl. The lady know how to speak chinese, so there wont be a problem and they close at 4pm.
Here is a blur picture. Just order the dry, cause if you put in the soup, it become tasteless. They have rice with pork, pork dish(like those knuckle and stuff) and wanton soup which is nice too. The wanton mee also have with crap meat at 10B more, cost 60B.

Back to the hotel, from the wanton mee stall, walk further down.

It wasn’t bad if you look at this. But we were not liking the location.

The bathroom, I do not like. The shower is just covered with shower curtain. Even the flooring is lower, the water will travel out. I do not like wet bathroom. And I have to use my old clothes to soak the access water on the floor. The toilet, when you sit on it, your left leg will be so close to the wall. The soap, they gave us 2 bars, tiny bars which is really hard to lather up. Shampoo from sachets. Hair cap and cotton buds. No toothbrush too which lucky I brought my own since I am used to it. I also brought along conditioner and soap which I gave my mom to use.
The bed is so hard and the blanket is clothes which is kind of torn. It was just a piece of thin fabric thing covered in white sheets that budget hotel tend to have. The floor which is the corner of the rooms are not really clean too. No save, so had to use our luggage as one. My fave part of the room was the shower head as I did want to have the rain shower.

For 2 rooms, 3 nights, booked at Agoda with 10% UOB card, the hotel cost me $330 inclusive of breakfast. That is what I practically eat on those 3 days. There is also plain rice, fried rice (tasteless), scramble eggs, yogurt, salad, guava and pineapple.

There is also bread which you can toast with butter, jam (strawberry and orange?), cornflake and coco cruch. The drinks are coffee, tea, milk(H&C), pineapple, orange and water. I usually drink coffee with milk and sugar or just plain.

This is nice.
Coconut ice cream with coconut slices in coconut shell.

 

 

 

Let’s sip coffee has terrible greentea frappe. It’s located below Novotel and beside Platinum there. This is a shopping mall like Far East or Bugis street. So, you can really enjoy there. Basically the whole area is like that. 

Chinatown is must to go. One of the taxi driver said there was a temple or something there, which I don’t really understand. Anyway, the food street open at 6pm until late night. One of the highlight there was this old lady in a sort of truck, at the left side of the road. If you facing opposite of the direction of traffic then its on the right. Anyway, surround her was durian and she sell this mango and glutinous rice. The portion is a lot. But it is too little for me cause I love it. I can eat it non stop. You can choose mango or durian or just eat the durian itself. And she can speak chinese. There is an assistance outside of the truck too.

 

My favourite find there. Watermelon milk. Taste like the juice with a hint of milk. But not those white milk which I hate. But ya I love it. The potato chip is really yummy too. The thickness is just right.

Temples and holy places.

Safari world.

Just go there watching shows after shows. Each animal kind of have their own personal trainer. The dolphins, 6/8 of them were divided into pairs per trainer as their act require them to be together. It was awesome seeing them perform. The sea lions practically do every acts there are.
The school children are part of our entertainment too. The Japan International kids are really damn cute. Until one pedo guy came and sit with the girl and force her to look into the camera his friend taking. I was like wth he force her to take a picture with him. The friends all in the end report to the teacher, but as kids, they never really clearly point out what is it they were trying to say. That pedo guy took a picture of an Angmoh boy sitting on the stair with his mom too.
The other school children is like the whole of the school and they take up like half the space. And they sing along with the host before the dolphin show begin. Really entertaining as two kids came up to the “floor” to dance to like Thai famous song which remind me of Gangnam style.

That basically is it. Never do much, but it was a good holiday nonetheless.
