Tinket: Bangkok Trip 23 - 27 August 2008

D1: Changi Airport. 6am flight.. Reached BKK at 810am. Checked into hotel and set off to Platinum Mall

Our bed... Changed a total of 3 rooms during our 4 night stay.. Long story.. But generally the hotel The Residence Rajtaevee is quite good and cheap. Cost $20/ person/ night. Thanks to Fan's reco.

Lunch at A&W. Ate a waffle chicken ... A bit interesting but very hard to hold as the waffle turns soggy after a while...

Yummy food.. The one in orange is tom yum flavour while the one in yellow is sweet.. Nice. Cost about S$0.50 for each.

Me and my purchase for the day.. Happy...

This is our transport to get from The Residence Rajtaevee to Siam Paragon...

Dinner at Coca Resturant. cost about THB250 for an hour buffet... However still prefer the one in Singapore... More variety.. though much more expensive.

D1 Purchases

D2: Chatuchak, MBK and Massage

Fan and Qi at the roadside stall...

Lunch at one of the road stalls... very nice though and cheap. Cost only THB30 (= S$1.5) though serving portion is a bit small...

yummy... Bought it at the train station...

Xian managed to master the art of changing!!! And Qi is so happy with it...

Their purchases for the Day at Chatuchak... Small bags....

Matching big bags... Notice our bags are much bigger than the above. Chatuchak is good for shopping guy tee shirts. Bought 3 for ED... Opened only on weekends...

Health land Spa at Ekamai station. About 20 mins walk from the station. But it is very good and cheap. Did a 60min foot massage at THB 250 (=S$11).. pity it is a bit far from us and the station. Anyway thanks Jaxine for the recommendation.

Dinner at Bar B Q Place at MBK top floor.. Not bad...Fan's favourite...

D2 Purchases

D3: Palace, Siam Paragon and Platinum Mall

On board the ferry to see the Palace... Cost THB 300 for unlimited rides on the ferry.

Palace...

Love this building. European style buildings with Thai Roof tops.. lovely.

Snacking at Siam Paragon..

Some glutinous rice ball wrapped in lettuce with shallot and green chilli. Interesting but not very nice.

Tom yam soup for dinner at the food court 6th floor of Platinum. not bad.. Though I still love the one at Thai Express.

Xian and Qi... Compare their bags with the ones below...

Yeah, fan and I won! As usual, the two of us got the biggest bag... Notice that we shopped until platinum mall closes?? Hehe.. Anyway it closes quite early at about 8pm.

Dessert at Swensen... Relatively cheaper than Singapore. About S$5 for an ice cream.

D3 Purchases

Chips to tide us through the night.

Our night activities in the room... Do not stay in room 302.. The aircon is not working. Poor Fan and Qi has to brace the hot air. Luckily Xian and I slept in 304.. Still not so bad though the aircon not very fantastic.. However the LCD screen tv compensate for the shortfall.
