สวัสดี! (Day 4 and 5)

Day 4

At 7am we woke up and had breakfast at the hotel restaurant. The variety of food was definitely more than the previous hotel we stayed in. They even serve coconut for breakfast! (: HAHA!

We took a taxi to Siam Paragon and visited Siam Ocean World. Basically, every 15 minutes or half an hour, there's a feeding show.

Lunch was at the seriously freaking huge food court at Siam Paragon! It's about 2 or 3 times larger than the ice skating rink at Sunway Pyramid! The weird thing was, when paying, half the food court accepts coupons, the other half only accepts cash =.=

Since we spent so little on the taxi fare to Siam Paragon, we decided to walk back to our hotel. Wasn't THAT far but it felt far for me =.= Took a break while chillaxing at Black Canyon. Ordered my favourite drink = Mocha Glasier! :D Shopped at the mall there and I managed to get a shirt, a pair of shoes, two belts and 3 pairs of pants :)

Dinner was a small one. Because we had another round of FRIED CRICKETS! :D




Day 5

We woke up the latest today of all the days we've been in Thailand. We were exploring the hotel after breakfast heh (: Had the temptation to go to the gym by the way =.=

Today, the final day of our trip, is full of SHOPPING!! Isetan, Fashion Island, City Complex, mini markets, etc etc etc! But we didnt buy much though =.="

Lunch was at the food court again. Tasting and cherishing the mango rice, crepe and papaya salad for the last time ): Aww..

Anyways, after a long walk, back to the hotel and I took a nice hot dip in the bathtub. Oh, I sound like a cracker being dipped into hot chocolate :O

Off to the airport after packing up! Took the taxi comfort. The guy said it would be 400-600 baht but ours was like, 300+ baht haha! The lounge was nice. There was even a sleeping area. There, I went on Facebook and wished everyone Happy Leo Day! :D

By 11pm, I was home *takes a deep breathe* and the minute I got upstairs, I took the opportunity to text Lion 'Happy Leo Day' before it's too late :P

~The End~

สวัสดี! (Day 3)

So I was interrupted by my phone's alarm clock playing 'Hotel Room Service' at 6.30am on Day 3. However, I only managed to pull myself out of bed at 7am. Got changed and went to the hotel restaurant for buffet breakfast. For a 3-star hotel, the food range was good enough and I loved the macaroni! (: Almost all the basic types of food needed for a complete buffet was there. After a hot shower, we checked out of Citin Pratunam. I miss that hotel ): It was nice staying there despite it was only a 3-star hotel.

Grand Diamond, the next hotel we stayed in, was a mere stone's throw away from Citin Pratunam. Definitely much more grand. It's a 4-star hotel if I'm not mistaken and it's located by a seriously busy highway. Rather noisy because of the car engines, horns and most of the time, the annoying sounds of the whistles made by the traffic policemen every jiffy of the day. We stayed on the 21st floor so it wasn't all that bad.

Off to Safari World! A seriously big zoo in Thailand. We were there the whole day watching animal shows and walking around the place. There was even this 'James Bond' show o.o However I couldn't understand it well because the actors and actresses all spoke (and shouted) in Thai. We had lunch by the river filled with swans and we finished our day with a few more shows and sight seeings.

Dinner was at the food court at the mall. Got to try the Crepe. It's a flat pastry rolled up into a cone shape and it's filled with any type of filling you want. Banana chocolate and ice cream, ham and cheese, etc. Yum! :P And the shark fin soup was great too! But that wasn't my meal. I took meehoon soup with meatball :D I don't know why I fancied it in Thailand.

FINALLY! After 2 days in Thailand, I found the FRIED CRICKETS AND GRUBS!! :D One of the stalls by the street outside the hotel sold them at night! HAHA! I was so happy! :P Bought 10 baht worth of crickets and grubs and ate them in the hotel room. OH BOY WERE THEY GOOD! xP You might think I'm the weirdest and craziest girl on Earth but I'm not! Seriously, you've got to try them! :P

And obviously, I dozed off later. A whole day walking around the place was a good exercise. But still, I thought I needed the gym.

สวัสดี! (Day 2)

Moving on..

We HAD to wake up at 4am (5am Malaysian timing) because the journey to the town where the Floating Market is would take more than hour (maybe 2 hours) and we made a couple of stops because the taxi had to fill up gas. They don't use petrol as it would cost them much more money.

Finally, we reached the floating market. We had to rent a boat and it cost us a few thousand bahts. It was a rather cold morning and especially when the boat was running on water like a jet stream, oh I nearly froze in the boat! And the motor was super noisy =.=

Just sitting on the boat and staring at the villagers living by the river was a wonderful experience. I missed my home that time. Pity those people living by the river. Their only water source came from the rivers. No pipes there! They brush teeth, wash clothes, bathe and even swim in the river waters. As a city girl, one look at the water, I knew it was dirty. You can see lots of objects floating around in the river. Like plastic bags, polystyrene boxes, etc. (Lion Alan will scream if he sees this xP)

The sun was high already and we stopped at some spot where there were loads and loads of fishes! We fed the fishes and pigeons too haha! The boat guy told us we can't fish there and we cannot eat the fish because the fish is holy according to Buddha.

We rode back and to my surprise it was only 8am in the morning (Thailand timing) =.= A long more day to go!

From the Floating Market, we went to the Tiger Temple. We got the chance to touch tigers and take pictures with them. I even fed the baby tiger milk and played with it. They love chewing stuff. Like balloons made out of plastic bags :) RAWR!

Lunch time! We drove to River Kwai Restaurant and I got to eat Tom Yum for the second time xD However, this one was REALLY spicy *puffs* Luckily I ordered Coke to put out the fire :P

Later, we then took a train ride on this really old train track for 20 bath (RM2) and it was really bumpy! Fancy riding on something historic and well known during the old times.

It was around 4.45pm when we left for the hotel and my shoes really smelt bad because I had to take them off when I was feeding the baby tigers and stepped into a pair of wet boots. Seriously gross =.= The ride back home was long and we were going to be late for our Thai Massage! So we packet back Thailand KFC and ate in the car haha! Oh goodness they actually put broccoli in the burgers! *eww!* =O

After a nice hot bath, off to massage! I went for the oil massage and foot massage. Wanted to try the Traditional Thai Massage but the lady told me it'll be very painful (and torturing) so I decided to leave that out. My backbone gave a *crack* sound when the lady massaged my back. She has very strong hands and fingers I tell you. Super! :) Even the foot massage was awesome! I enjoyed it very much. Luxury much? o.o

After the massage, I had the opportunity to use the hotel computer and online HAHA! NO CHARGES! Just ask for the username and password :)

And I dozed off around midnight I think..

Picture time! :)

สวัสดี! :)

Sawatdee kaa!

Oh boy will I miss Thailand! The experience was truly amazing and priceless. The culture, the food, etc. I will never forget this experience as long as I live.

Day 1

The lounge at KLIA was awesome! I had my breakfast and my last few moments of text messaging a few friends before leaving for Thailand. And on the plane they served breakfast again =.= Roti Canai and the chicken curry was great. I ate that like, 34 000 feet above sea level HAHA!

At 11am sharp Malaysian timing (10am in Thailand), I left my first footprint in Thailand. Suvarnabhumi International Airport to be exact. We got a cab and we were on our way to our hotel, Citin Pratunam. The taxi driver was so =.= right…

Anyway, we unpacked our stuff, ate lunch and went for a half day tour. (By the way I had Tom Yum for lunch (: It was great!)We went to this place where we saw all the different types of palaces built by the 9 Kings of Thailand. It’s so unique and there was even a palace that looked half Thai and half modern. Amazing! The tour guide also told us about Thai language. It has 5 vowels and 44 alphabets if I’m not mistaken.

Dinner time! We took the shuttle to the mall, Platinum and we ate at the food court. Ah they don’t use cash there! They use coupons. Weird but rather convenient I guess. Tried the thai papaya salad and their noodle soup was great :) We walked around the mall. Yes, the clothes are rather cheap but we didn’t buy them yet. In case there are better prices out there.

Sadly, I didn’t find any fried crickets or grubs :(
