Bangkok♥dance ; dance ; dance
BACK from Bangkok. :)
Rather siann at bangkok cos it was the same as last time. Nth new at all.. Always MBK, Siam centre, food, some temples, foot reflexology, shopping, night market.. Except for lesser Sigaporeans and more Indians and Ang Mohs.. Really, there is an increase in number of Indians and Ang Mohs. Wonder where do Singaporeans go to nowadays.. hmm. But then at least there is a chance to go overseas. Better than not going and i'm thankful for that :)
Stayed at hotel that we had 3 nights free cos of some membership that my dad have. But the hotel was one of the worse that i have stayed - Small lobby, corridor is not air-conditioned, not carppeted at the tv area, only the bed area, a weid smell when we went in, no free breakfast, have to pay but at half the price.. Walao. All these for $100 plus one nite.. Asking ard, I realised that other hotels which are sooo much better, cost ard the same price, or even cheaper!! We wanted to change the hotel to somewhere which is of a similar price.. but then my dad's friend straight away made enquiry to a hotel which cost $300 plus a night.. And my dad came up with an excuse saying that this hotel is convenient. We can't possibly change to another hotel since we rejected my dad's fren's offer. So, we had to stay put in that hotel.. But that hotel is really convenient.. near to the MTR station and a shopping place.
So, for 2 days, my dad and my bro went to play golf with a few friends.. So, my mum, sis and i had to go round bangkok ourselves - in jux a day.. we bought alot of things.. Shoes, bags, hair accessories, clothes.. Since alot of things are going at 199, i bought 3 pairs of shoes and a few basg. haha.. And since they sell all similar stuff everywhere, it seems like we have done our shopping in bangkok alrdy. So, when my dad and bro finish their golf session, we had to go to those places that we have been to again, cos they wanted to buy some stuff too..
As usual, we had dinner with my dad's friends and of cos dinner was gooddd.. haha. A claypot of sharkfin for each person, tom yum soup with lobster, lobster, fish and more fish, beijing duck, minced duck etc etc. Then another dinner was seafood.. wahh. I can feel my waistline expanding can. My dad's friend is like super rich that's why the hotel he wanted to book was also very expensive.. haha. And upon knowing that i'm going to taiwan, he asked if i want him to treat us to dinner.. (his a taiwanese who shuffles between Thailand and Taiwan) haha. I guess this is how rich people behave. He sld have given me the money instead of dinner and i can buy a branded bag :P
I wanted to buy some branded stuff.. like u noe, esprite those kind and tot that it will be cheaper there. But then, all the branded things in bangkok are more expensive than in Singapore. I wonder why. =.= lol.
We also took a boat and wanted to go to bangkok palace. But it was closed on that day (cos the king was visiting). So, a tourist police whom we met while walking told us to go to another place, which is only opened once a year.. It is the place where all the ashes of the royal family are being placed. So, we are quite lucky in a sense to meet the police cos little tourist know about it. We also saw the ceremony of a guy becoming a monk. An eye-opener I should say. hee :)
And, I wonder how the people in the Thai airport do things.. Cos when we collected our luggage, we realised that the lock for one of the bags is not there anymore. Dun tell me the airplane underwent some turbulance and the lock gt forced open arh.. where got so easy come off one.. Mayb they checked our luggage. But they are not supposed to! Plus we found a pouch that has lipstick, thermometer, scissors in my dad's golf bag.. Dun tell me they tot it was their bag and put it there in the last minute.. Cos it is a GOLF BAG. Not many people or rather none brought golf bag to thailand other than us (from wad i have observed). Luckily nothing was lost frm our luggauge.. o.o
I have this feeling that this is the last trip to Thailand. Its the same as Msia. In the past, we used to keep going to Msia.. Once every year. Then we stopped going there (It has been a few years since we last gone to KL or genting cos we find it siann) and we kept going to Thailand. Now, we find Thailand to be boring, so i guess we may stop going there for holidays.
