We are exploring the MRT line today and it's my favourite stop - Union Mall!
It's my favourite stop because most of my shopping stuff are from here.
And it might be better if we have more colourful taxis in Singapore, just like in Bangkok. Makes our road more vibrant in colours and gives life to the whole place!
We found two new malls at Phahon Yothin - Grand Central and another mall which I can't remember the name..
This is the first time I saw this shop even though I have read about it many times!
We had our first Krispy Kreme donut in Bangkok because we needed the WiFi to check in our return flight back to Singapore two days later! And Bumblebee came along too. Hee..
The smaller mall next to Grand Central has a very good nail parlour and I had my pedicure done there at only 550 baht (including nail art). Took quite a while because the manicurist was soooo detailed and careful.
It's a good thing right?
After my pedicure, we had lunch back at Union Mall's A&W. We came here for lunch just for the curly fries but it was a disappointment because the fries were cold. Not nice........
After shopping for hours, our feet were tired and we decided to have dinner here before heading off to our next destination.
We are not fans of buffet but this one was quite cheap and Stan was craving for the Korean Army Stew! Actually, we were the only two having the army stew buffet in the restaurant. The other customers were having the Korean BBQ. It's about 238baht (S$10) per person.
After dinner, we went to Central at Chit Lom to get some pants for Stan and we found it! LOL super happy because it's really quite rare even in Singapore.
And we were so lucky to chance upon their weekly flea market just outside Big C! Held on every Friday of the week. Super bustling right?
We found many handmade items going at fab prices. Regret not buying more =(
Day 4: Our last full day in Bangkok!
Today we are off to the Siam area but it was raining so we decided to have an early lunch while waiting for the rain to stop.
Been seeing many people post about this Greyhound Cafe in Siam Square, so we wanted to try it out. But the service was super bad...... Clearly there were many empty tables in the restaurant but they said that we could only sit near the outside where everyone can walk past and see what we are eating. Their attitude was quite bad too. So Stan got pissed and we walked away.
After many unpleasant experiences at the cafes in Siam Square, we finally settled on the good ol' Fuji Restaurant!
The food is soooo good and cheap! I can never get sick of it.
It was quite an unpleasant day for us after encountering all the rude service staff and there was NOTHING to buy at Siam and Central area. So we both got quite sian diao.
This cheesecake below isn't good at all, from Central at Chit Lom. I think the Thais are not good at making Western desserts. And they can't understand even simple English! Faint......
We headed back to the hotel earlier because we wanted to have ample time to rest and pack our luggages before our morning flight the next day back to Singapore.
So we ordered room service for dinner. The dish at the top left hand corner of the picture was supposed to be calamari, didn't know how it became sautéed squid. I guess their definition of calamari isn't the fried one. But otherwise, the rest of the food tasted good!
This is all of our shopping loot after 4 days in Bangkok. So little right??? I got super sad and Stan went out with me at 10pm to shop along the roadside stalls outside Central World for some last minute shopping.
Literally last minute!! LOL
After shopping and packing, we had cheap cheap Magnum ice cream S$1.60 to end off the night!
I want to share this new thing with you guys.
Now Bangkok has FINALLY created their version of our EZ link card - the Rabbit card!
Can be purchased from all BTS stations and there are promotion tie-ins with other merchants!
Note: Can't be used at MRT stations though.
With this card, you don't have to queue up at the ticketing machines every time you wanna take the train, just tap and go!
Last day in Bangkok, we had some Thai tea (that looks like Kopi-O in the picture below) and fried chicken wings while waiting for our flight.
We are quite done with Bangkok already...... Nothing to buy anymore.
Goodbye Bangkok, I must be off to explore other countries!
Yes, 3 weeks after my last trip, I am off to Bangkok again!
This time, with my favorite boy!
Wearing the kimono shrug from Yihui for my birthday!
While waiting to board the plane, we just shopped around and chanced upon this booth promoting a new vodka!
Very nice and Stan even said he was a bit drunk after drinking that SMALL cup!
As mentioned, we brought the Transformers out for a holiday!
We took a cap from the Bangkok International Airport to our hotel and the cab driver tried to cheat our money! His Math - CMI.
The trip should cost around 350 baht (including surcharge and toll fees) but he quoted 100baht more.
Not that 100 baht is a lot of money but it's an issue of principle here. He should not try to cheat us and please lor, Singaporeans' Math is super good k?
The friendly hotel staff came out to greet us and helped us to communicate with the driver. I am not sure whether his miscalculation was intentional. But in any case, the staff helped to make things right and we were led to the 17th floor to check-in!
Maybe it was a Wednesday, there was no one at the lobby and we were comfortably seated and sipping on our juices while waiting for the staff to process our check-in.
Sivatel Bangkok
Room on the 26th floor!
Every room in this hotel is a suite!
After going crazy in this huge suite (the most basic suite at 64 square metres!), we went to Nana area to tailor make Stan's working clothes!
Saw this purple corn but didn't try it because Stan said that we are going for a good dinner, so I wanna save my stomach for good food later on!
Stan did his research before coming and found Crown Tailor in Nana area. Service is not bad but the pants are exorbitant at S$80 a pair. So if you are intending to get some shirts and pants done in Bangkok, please do not get your pants from Crown Tailor! Shirts still ok, at S$48 per shirt.
The restaurant that Stan picked for dinner was in the Nana area too, but it's a suuuuuuper far walk from the BTS station. You can see the building from afar but it's sure a long walk.
Yay! We finally reached after sweating buckets. LOL
Above Eleven at Fraser Suites
Located at the 33rd floor of the building, this place boasts of a fantastic view of Bangkok's skyline!
Reservation highly recommended, if not you might have to go away disappointed!
We went at around 6.30 when our reservation was actually at 7.30pm. Too hungry and there isn't really much to explore in Nana. And I am glad that we went earlier because we got to catch the sunset!
Stan was so sweet to give me such a pleasant surprise! I am not a girl who only goes after material wants. I'd rather have the company and experience over anything else.
And so this is our celebratory dinner for our 8th anniversary.
(I know right?! 8th anniversary? So freaking long already? Yes, this is how long we have been together. And no, we are not sick of each other yet. Hahahaha)
With such a magnificent view, you need some drinks to go along! It was ladies' night and their mojito and margarita were at 150baht (nett) each! I thought I'd order a mojito first, then a margarita afterwards. But look at the size of the mojito, how to order a second one?! Left: Mojito (150baht nett) Right: Mango and passionfruit smoothie (110 baht ++) The mojito is soooo value-for-money and good! Quite strong too. Stan woke up the next day saying he got a hangover. (FYI: he only drank like one quarter of the whole drink.)
Left (mine): Arroz Con Pato (duck leg confit served with cilantro rice) Right (Stan's): Arroz Con Mariscos (traditional Peruvian, yellow chili flavoured rice with seafood)
There was not much of a wind that night and left at about 8pm.
Saw this really cute standalone bar converted from a mini van! There were many such vans along the road but we didn't stop to try since we just had dinner and Stan isn't a drinks person.
Went into this super atas looking shophouse offering massage services at reasonable prices.
I went for the head & shoulder massage while Stan had his foot massage.
300 baht per person for an hour.
We were the only two customers inside and the ambience is very soothing!
But my masseur is super powerful. I think she ate like two cows for dinner. She really massaged me HARD. I was supposed to sit on a small stool after 40 minutes later, so that she can work on my upper back. But I didn't know she was waiting for me because she didn't even said anything! So I thought that my massage session was over and started using my phone. Until Stan prompted me.
After I sat on the stool, her strength was greater than ever! Stan said maybe she 不爽 that I didn't sit on the stool immediately, so she wanted revenge. I couldn't even see how she looks like until we went back to the reception area after the session. And boy, she has the biggest aura amongst all the masseurs there!
Talk about me being chao bin, she is at least 10 times worse! It was a good session because my muscles felt relaxed but the bruise-feeling lingered around my neck and shoulders for at least 5 days!
Day 2!
Breakfast is served in a restaurant on the 8th floor beside the pool.
We asked the hotel staff whether we can walk from the hotel to the Platinum Fashion Mall because we could see the building from our hotel. But he said it's not possible. We didn't wanna take the cab because there will definitely be a jam and we might end up wasting more time in the cab. A train isn't really suitable either because the Mall is quite far from the BTS station. And so we WALKED! For a good 20 minutes I think.
Lunch at Fuji Restaurant, having my fave lunchtime steak set =D
The place we went in the evening needs no more introduction. Most of you would have gone there at least once if you went to Bangkok recently, right?
Stan says the mascot below looks like me, got meh??
We tried the snack in the top left corner before dinnertime. Very cheap about 14 pieces for just 40 baht. But it's made of coconut, so it's a bit savoury and a bit sweet which I didn't really like. Tastes weird to me...
I brought Stan to Why 97 for dinner because the ambience is good, price is reasonable and food is yummy!
I had the Chao Phraya cocktail while Stan had some juice. The cocktail is very strong!
I had Pad Thai while Stan had the Green Curry Softshell Crab. Both were very yummy!
And that's all for Part 1! Watch this space for Part 2 k?
