Bangkok 11-15 Nov
Back from bangkok since last tuesday evening...been too busy to write ...here's another post dated entry ...
On the day we were supposed to depart from Changi Airport, Airbus A380 arrived in Singapore and we caught sight of the magnificient plane:
We stayed at Bangkok Palace Hotel - perhaps the cheapest decent hotel and we are quite glad it actually turned out pretty gd. For one thing, our rm got upgrated to a Duluxe room at no cost to us :)
Here's me and shIan with Murphy and Nicole at our Hotel Lobby:
Highlights for the trip? Well...first of all, we went for the half day city tour, something i was very much against becos i went to all these places when i was 8 years old with my family and i didn't really see a need to. Basically i just didn't want to eat into my shopping time. However this is the first bangkok trip for shIan, Murphy and Nicole, so all of them wanted to go for this city tour...so ok, i thought I'll go and see whats new for me.
Well...we saw some temples, the floating market etc...perhaps gd for those who are there for the first time. Guess was a little bit of refreshing my memory of what i seen before when i was a kid and also to better understand the Thai culture and history.
We did a lot of shopping. Went Chatuchack, MBK, PatPong, Pratunum...wanted to go Suan Lum but didn't have time... i bought acuvue contact lenses, 1/2 price! also bought lingerie 1/2 price! we took the tuk-tuk ride ...it feels like riding on a bike, with the wind blowing against your face and the speed it goes, only difference is that you get proper seats and there is no need to wear helmets.
Had Thai traditional massage, introduced by the city-tour guide. Then had aromatherapy oil massage at Hapa - place introduced by Gina. A very nicely done up place. They serve fruit yoghurt with hot tea at the end...very unique .... look at us all relaxed after the massage:
We also went for a 3rd massage at the airport, the head-shoulder-foot massage. Amazing! It was done in 30mins, with one massuse on each end of your body concurrently. Talk about feeling like a royalty.
We also had lots of gd food. Went to Chinatown for sharksfin and seafood. Very cheap! Also tasted quite some thai cuisine.....cheap and nice!
Overall we had a gd trip, shopping, relaxing thru massage and feasting on gd food...
