First Day of BKK Trip


Took these pictures when I was in the plane

Came back 2 days ago from Bangkok, it was a fun and interesting trip. Eat a lot, Shop a lot and Sees a lot. Thailand is indeed a 'place of smile', people there are friendly and like to smile a lot. Not like some places, where people likes to complain and makes lizard sounds.
This was my first maiden flight to a faraway place like Bangkok. (Hee, some people may think that BKK is very near). I was very very excited when the plane took off, think Jeff seldom see me in this kind of state ha. However staying in the plane for 2 hours is really very boring and tiring, esp with buget airline. Luckily this is my first flight, so get to entertain myself by looking out of the windows, taking pictures of the clouds and beautiful scenery. When the plane was going to land, feels a sharp pain inside my ears, really cannot tahan. Hopefully this kind of experience can improve as me travels more by plane.

Dinner at "Singapore"
High up at 61st Storey Moon Bar

Reached Bangkok Asia Hotel around 2 pm. The first thing that we did there was to eat ha... This is the one of the main motives for going to Bangkok. Ate Rice with Trotter and Mango Rice, really delicious, no wonder that guy keeps thinking of it when he was in Singaopore. Then the 2nd thing that we did is to shop shop and shop, went MBK and Siam Square. Although the things there are quite cheap, din really buy anything because was thinking of going Chatuchak on the third day to buy the things which may get a better bargain. We also had our dinner near their 'World Trade Center', where there is a shop named "Singapore". The Boss is not a Singaporean, guess he/she must be very grateful to us for contributing lots of money to Thailand economy and thats why he/she named the shop this way ha.

The "ya zhou " of the first day is to able go up to 61st storey of Banyan Tree Hotel to enjoy the night scenery of Bangkok. Took a Duk-tuk there, very exciting, similar to the "James Bond credit card" commercial that we saw hee. At Moon Bar, its windy up there and we can catch a 360 degree view of Bangkok. The best thing for me is that I can see fireworks together with him finally (although quite small), which is a regret to me on last year NDP preview due to some unforseen circumstances. At least, I have fulfilled this dream in Bangkok :)




My Dream

Guess there are too many things to write, will continue my 2nd and 3rd day trip tmr hee. nitez.
