It’s my 2nd time to Bangkok since last year around this time too. This time round with 9 people – Joyce, Rong An, Kelvin, Sophia, Ash, Cheryl and Joan. I thought it would be boring but hey it turns out to be as fun as ever, still so much things to shop at cheap cheap price. Yeah! Bought so much stuff *winks*

Day 1

Upon arrival at Bangkok airport, we had a tough time queuing up at the ICA. The queue was so freaking long, after that the others went to buy liquor to party at night. Also, we bought Thailand SIM card to keep in touch with each other whenever we need to split up for shopping:) It was a good idea as meeting up is so much easier especially with a big group, at least we are literally in touch with each other and feel much safer. After which, we waited for our van that was pre-arranged to drive us ard for the first day. It took the driver so long to appear too, further more it was hard to look for him since he can’t speak much English. It was after the traffic jam n all till we get to check into the hotel. Good thing is the van is quite comfortable, it fits the 9 of us comfortably, we sleep during the jamming as most of us did not have a good sleep the night before. We quickly settle ourself for lunch as the van passes by as all our stomach was rumbling. We then shop at several places like MBK, National stadium for jersey, had veri nice squid at the roadside stall, How San etc etc. We then bought a lot of Red Bull and Chips back to hotel for Bombing. Haax. As the rest I busy with drinking and chinese chess, me and a few of the girls went for Thai Massage near our hotel. It was quite comfortable aft the tiring day and it only cost us about S$10 for 1hour full body. Nice.

Day 2

Went to Chatuchatt, a huge, enormously big weekend flea market. We had our lunch there with veri nice Thai dishes that I can say it’s much better than Singapore’s Thai Restaurant. The food only cost us about $5 for each person despite the sumptous meal. At Chatuchatt, there are different sections for clothes, pets etc. I only managed to finish 1 long faishon street and we side track to look for the pets. We managed to find it after so much perserverance we had. At first we bought clothes for our beloved Mao Mao, a playboy or rather “playdog” T-shirt pant with gold chain and bling bling, it’s so retro and funny we can imagine Mao Mao will look like Ah Long when he wear there. HAHA. On another occasion we also bought Curly her first dog wear, a ladybird shirt. Curly is so big size it’s hard to find her clothes in SG, but we managed to find it there! LOL.  We then found the puppies and kitty section, so many of it and so CUTEEEE We try to make our way back but the market was so big we were kinda lost, we only managed to go back to shop at the 2nd fashion street, at evening time, some shops had alr closed. We then decided to come again the next day:) We flag a TUK TUK back to the hotel, it’s an iconic transportation vehicle in THailand, however, we were so tired and  having so many shopping bags with us, it will be better if we get a cab. Back to hotel, we wash and dress up for Baiyoke Sky Buffet. It’s a 83 storey hotel, with stunning view of the night lights of BangKok. The other time I came was during the day time, it was a different feel and ambience. As usual, the food was nt amazing. It was the ambience. We then proceed to RCA to club. Route 21 is quite nice, indoor for clubbing, and outdoor was a nice place to chill, ambience was good too:)

Day 3

We took Tuk Tuk back to Chatuchatt again. The driver offered us the ride of just S$1 for 4 of us to get there, but got our help to visit a gems factory, for free gasoline. In the end we bought diamond ring and earings. Back at Chatuchatt, we visited the same stall for the same dishes – Thai Salad, fried chicken, Satay and my favourite – Spicy glass noodle. We then continued to shop on, we went to the section with alot of Thais. Apparently these locals are clustering there to shop due to the low price. I bought a black jeans and a grey acid wash jeans at less than $10 each! Can you believe it. We then continue to shop at the street that we missed out the day before and wrap up Chatuchatt. It will be good if we could bring a fan along the next time we visit Chatuchatt again. It’s super hot. We took a taxi back and sleep in it. Too tired. We then bought some Red bull, beer and coke singlets, Best thing to bring back to Singapore. Aft resting for awhile, we went to Sum Lum night market. We passed by a shop that sell 2nd hand branded goods, they also have some authentic new ones. We considered for very long whether to buy or not and tried to bargain for it. Our desired price is S$600 for the bag but the sales person is so stubborn she offered lowest $610. We would have bought it if she agreed on $600. Aft the disappointment, we went to PatPong with the rest of the group. THe place with tiger show. THere were many young ladies wearing bikini pole dancing, we then went to see the tiger show upstairs. It was so disgusting and such a turn off. Auntie fat fat, still got Transvestite. Eww. Waste of money. We left like in half hour out of the 2 hour show.

Day 4

Had breakfast, pack up and check out of the hotel. We went to KFC for lunch. KFC in other countries are known to be better in SG and MS. It’s true. The whole bunch of us then went for pedicure nearby. We found a shop “top nails”, it’s very good. The skills of my pedicurist was quite good. The seat was veri comfortable, it’s actually massage chair – so shiok. It’s not super cheap, about S$20, but it was very worth it, inclusive of scrub, mask and everything. As we waited to leave for the airport, me and dear went to have KFC again. haha. Before leaving, we went to get Naraya bags. We got a van back to the airport. The flight was delayed. We walk on and on in the airport with my big haversack and finally found Burger King to sit down and rest.  By the time we reach SG i was about 2am, Dear has to go the Penang the same morning for work at 6am. So tiring for him.

Day 5

Was too tired and went on leave today. Went to meet up with Clare, she says she was always asked out by people who was on MC. Haha. THat’s bcos she’s the freest person in the world, not working. Lol. We went to have the 99cents sushi and go for facial at Chinatown Skin Revival. Spent 65 bucks. On the way her boyfriend Sam called. She save his name as Sam Tai, with the surname. I helped her check her phone while she was driving and I pronounce his name as Sum Thai. Haha I then realised it’s actually Sam. We laughed at the slang that I got after just a  few days of stay in Thailand.

I think it would be ideal if we could visit Bangkok again every year. It seemed to always be entertaining and full of life. It’s so much cheaper to live and shop there. So dreadful to come back. Haha. See you again next year, BangKok!
