Bangkok 10th-12th February 2006

10th Feb

waahh rushed trip~ our plane was delayed an hour on 10th feb.. so we finally reached bangkok at 1+ am(bkk time)?


"chillin" before gettin on the plane at Changi Airport.. actually we were forced to drink.. -_-


that's us very tired of waitin for our delayed plane.. and very tired from beer...

then got 2 cabs and made our way to the red light district. xiang booked our room at Palazzo Hotel.

quite nice.. different from the review i read online.. *thank goodness* and the breakfast was good!
after settling down, we slept at 3+ am (bkk time) and woke up at 6am okie!

11th Feb
headed down for brekkie at 645..



and left for JJ Market(chatuchak) at abt 730? hoped on the MRT which was still pretty empty in the early morning.. ^^

this yr's different from 1.5 yrs ago.. wen also say, that time i went, i practically swept the goods till both arms were full.. this yr, hmm quite boring.. cos everything's selling in singapore le and price difference is very slight ne~


oh oh.. finally got to see the pets section! wonder how we missed it the last time we went.. there are pet shops EVERYWHERE in JJ.. -_-"

day seemed to pass quite slowly.. then we headed to MBK where major tailored 5 shirts and 3 pants.. (supposed to be quite cheap.. 1100B for shirt and 1300/1400B for pants) and Siam Square.. and walked all the way down to Indra Square where feng and major managed to get very good quality Jerseys.. at less than 400B! shen rite?
after all tat shopping, we headed back to the hotel before meeting xiang for dinner.. hehe..

had a lot of difficulty gettin a cab.. none willing to take us cos of the bad traffic towards our hotel.. wat to do? but this kind tuktuk driver decided it was okie to take 4 of us with all our barang barang.. hehee.. so squashed! but fun! had to point out on the map where our hotel was too.. bet if i could say red light district in Thai, he would have figured where we stayed.. :P



2nd meal of the day okie! dinner was at this seafood restaurant.. near Suan Lom nite market. exp.. but very tasty~ :P~

mi and wen realised we've actually alredi been to suan lom before.. to watch soccer 1.5 yrs ago.. haha! :) after shoppin at suan lom, finally went back to hotel to rest. ^^

12th Feb

got up at 8am for brekkie.. went to pray at the temple near Chit Lom station.



the dancers.. feng said they actually dance to help people pray? very elaborate..


us getting our jossticks out of the plastic wrapping..

then we went for the traditional Thai Massage near Surasek station.. (jason's parents brought us there the previous time too) wahh.. 1 hour was 450B. the masseuse was tellin us how they get paid only 50B for that hour.. so we ended up "tipping" them 200B each.. but overall still cheaper than sg.. and they were very pro! they managed to even straighten our postures for the nxt few hours.. haha~
all in all was very fun.. but started to get diarrhea for the rest of the day.. :( till today had to go on mc cos feeling very very sick.. *sob*

13th Feb
