Yippy! I have finally finished uploading the photos taken during my Bangkok trip about 3 weeks ago. Haha… I took a tad too long to update but I still manage to get it done when I found some free time today. This trip consists of not only shopping but also some sight-seeing. Beware! It’s a super long post! :p
Our flight was 7.15am and we got to reach the airport real early. It was raining very heavily when we were on the way to the airport. After we have checked in our luggages, we went for breakfast at Burger King.
We are here in Bangkok! In the cab on the way to our hotel.
Our lovely room with a cosy King size bed at The Westin Grande Sukhumvit Hotel.
Views from our room.
Both my dear dear and I literally nua and relax ourselves in the comfy room till evening time before we went out for our dinner :p We explored the night market near the hotel and settled our dinner at a Thai restaurant. We ordered a tofu dish, pineapple rice and of course not forgetting the must-have Tom Yum Goong!
After we have covered the entire night market, we went for foot massage. We even bought some Lays chips from the convenience stores on our way back to the hotel. They have so many nice flavours to choose from, unlike the limited choices in S’pore. It tasted great and my dear dear loved it so much

My dear dear’s colleagues and their girlfriends joined us on the next day. We woke up early and waited for them at the hotel lobby because its their first time in Bangkok. We are also the one who planned their 3-day itinerary. Good hor? Never charge tourist fee one leh. Hahaha… Anyway, after they have checked into their rooms with their luggages, we went for a quick breakfast at the MacDonalds next to our hotel.
Our first stop for the day – Chatuchak Weekend Market!
From far I thought it was a soft toy until I saw them moving! It’s real rabbits with clothes on. So cute!
Our 2nd stop for the day was to go bai bai the Four-Faced Buddha. It’s a must-visit place whenever I go Bangkok.
Couples Pic!
As all of us were feeling hungry but it’s also nearing to dinner time, we decided to get something light to eat in our rooms first. It’s some kind of Thai fried kuay tiao. Very nice wor.
After 1 hour of rest and washing up, we went to PatPong for some night-market shopping and our dinner. Both my dear dear and I actually came to this little Thai restaurant during our Bangkok trip 2 years ago. We thought it was quite a nice place which served nice food, therefore we brought the 2 couples there for dinner. We ordered quite a number of dishes.
After the dinner, the 2 couples went to watch Ping-Pong show. Haha… Erm, as it’s their first time in Bangkok, we suggested them to watch. Since my dear dear and I have watched it the first time we went Bangkok, and no point watching it again because it’s all the same type of acts, we decided to order some beer at a pub downstairs and wait for them.

On the next day, we had buffet breakfast at the hotel in the morning. They have nice selection of food.
Me and my notti dear dear
The newly-attached super lovey dovey couple who came down late to join us for the breakfast.
Off to the Grand Palace for a day of sight-seeing! The Grand Palace is a complex of buildings in Bangkok, Thailand which served as the official residence of the king of Thailand from the 18th century to the mid-20th century.
Did you notice the cone-shaped trees? So cute can!
My dear dear bought tickets for us le~
The huge statue behind us is the giant demon (Yaksha), guarding the exit to the Grand Palace.
Pictures taken outside Phra Mondop, the library.
We went into Wat Phra Kaew, which is known as The Temple of the Emerald Buddha. It is regarded as the most sacred Buddhist temple in Thailand.
Group photo for the ladies.
Group photo for the gentlemen.
They are trying to figure out the meanings of the pictures on the wall because it’s all in Thai. Haha…
Group photo of us before we left the Grand Palace.
After visiting Grand Palace, we brought them to MBK for shopping. This time round I didn’t buy alot because the fashion abit out. Moreover, it’s not meant to be a shopping trip for me. As most of us were carrying quite a number of things, we went back to the hotel to change into shorts (We were all in jeans because no shorts or sleeveless are allowed at the Grand Palace) before going to Platinum Fashion Mall. Suay suay by the time we reached the Platinum Fashion Mall, we were told that they have closed early for some holiday. Feeling disappointed, tired and hungry, we walked further up to their IT Mall to find a place for dinner.
And we saw this-KFC with fried rice! While I was snapping pictures of the food, the toopid KFC staff asked me not to take photos. TMD! I was quite pissed but I was done with taking all the photos I want already so I didn’t freaking bother about him when he asked me to stop. After a hearty dinner at KFC, we went to the A&W next door for Rootbeer float and waffle ice-cream I missed their curly fries and rootbeer float!!!
Our last stop for the day was Suan Lum Night Bazaar. We took the MTR there. The black coin-like chips on my hand works like our EZ-link card lor. Like S’pore, you buy the chip from the machine by inserting the money allocated for the station you are going. You placed the chip to scan and the door will open for you to enter into the train station. I heard some other countries like Taiwan or France are also using such system. How nice!
Having been walking so much since morning, all of us were so exhausted that we literally got no image liao. Squat, sit and even lie down on the floor! We even took off our slippers at the train station. LOL!
On the last day, all of us went for massages before we took the evening flight back to S’pore. All of them went for Thai and foot massage whereas I went for aromatherapy oil massage. I do not know is it because of the poor economy or what, the female masseuse actually asked me several times whether I want special service!!!! And she kept wanting to touch me there! I have gone for massages so many times but never kerna this kind of thing lor. I always thought it will only happen to men. Yucks! I can still vividly remember :”Mdm, you want massage there? 500 baht.” Kaoz! I love going spa and massages. I seriously hope this incident will not left me traumatized lor.
