Experiencing the land of thousand smiles: Part 3

Call me simple minded or anything, I ALWAYS thought that Bangkok iz another city like Jakarta and KL, warm, humid and dusty. However, thats a nono! The temp is arnd 16~20+ degrees C wen we were ther. Dusty iz kinda true coz of the zomg traffic jams. I dun tink i got sweat much that 3 days.

Day 6
Continueing from Day 5, arrived at BKK airport at 12am+. No choice have to sleep in airport. Found a nice corner with 3 rows of benches (no cushion), mp3s out, heads on bag and Zzz. Initially, managed to go into the 'sleep' state budden it starts to get freakin cold. Regretted nv wear jeans, shoes and brought any blanket. Roge and smurf cant slp at all so they went to explore the airport, finding ways to keep warm (Like beer, hot instant zok and stepping outdoors which wz suprisingly makes things worst). I joined them after several attempts to find the perfect posture to slp on the cold, hard bench. Changed to shoes and had 1 of the best cup noodles in my life! Black Pepper PORK!!! Thats damn rare in SG! Combd the whole arrival hall, looking for wad to eat for bfast... actually oso got other pple really sleeping in the airport and the diff between em n us iz they've brought pillows n blanket! We passed our time walking around pushing the trolley and yes... its 7+ le. Simple bfast... redbull n pocky LOL. I manged to 'auto' slp for an hour or so till 8am coz too tired. Transfer came n brought us to the hotel.

Bangkok... city of dirt cheap clothes and food. For real, we shopped for 3 days, nv visit the temples or chinatown (in the initial plan). Mostly for clothes, clothes and more clothes. After checking in, changed and go gai gai near the downtown area, its thiz famous area wer MBK, Siam sq, Siam center, Siam discovery stood. MBK iz holy shyt big, loads of stuff, gadgets, clothes and food!
Lunch at this cheena restaurant, had noodles, rice and cheap dim sum so arnd $5+ each!woohoo! Every1 very tired coz of insufficient slp and so decide to nap till nite then go out again.

Famous nite market... Suan Lum nite bazaar! 2nd to Chatuchak weekend market, many many stalls and a huge food center. Fried rice n fruit shake again for dinner, their fruit shakes ownes coz its cheap n oishii. No joke, the place is really big, finished 1 area in 40 mins+ wen there were like 10+ zones? I got my new adidas wallet for a cheap 100B lawl, the lady even use a ligther to burn the leather wallet to prove that its 'genuine'! The rest got some berms, shirt and random stuff. Oh, roge got his beloved magic pants there, i got 1 for myself too :)

Day 7
Every1s gettin sluggish... Zzz for more than 8hrs, waking up betwn 9 to 10am, it cant be the hotel bed. Anywae, our plan for the day iz platinum and pratunam plaza/center and other malls near that area. Cab again coz its hell cheap, arnd 70B even wen theres traffic jam. Tink the 1st mall waz platinum center? Its kinda empty... mayb we're too early. Hopd over to the next building wer the spree starts. Theres this market place with lots of clothes, local brand and designs. More like an outlet wer they sew and do final touchups there b4 selling/ importing in bulks. Usually they'd sell 3 or more at cheaper prices. Got me army pantsu there yeah.

Visited another 'market place', abit high class, inside a buidling but got many stalls, 7 storeys. Top floor waz a food court wer the foodz damn cheap for such a nice ambience. Unfortunately shawn wz feeling sick so he missed lots of imba dishes and the shoppin. Last shoppin destination wz Platinum, tis is a must-go, must-not-miss, no-go-you-regret place. We got most of our gifts and clothings ere. Comd the building from the 3rd floor up then back down, taking arnd 2-3 hrs. Got tis shop selling all the famous chang beer, coke singlets n Ts at imba low price. The boss wz an old lady who knows how to speak mandarin (mayb coz shes from ChiangMai? where most thai-nese live). Bought lots of shirt from her and got her name card, jus in case, mayb some dae, import n sell :P Oso lots of those shops selling locally designd Ts, some were nice, most were shyt, but who cares, they're quite cheap.

Shopd till 4+ and got damn tired le, decided to cab back hotel to rest and prepare for night activity. Dinner at a coffee shop near our hotel, had pork-organ meal at arnd 40B !!! Nite activity waz... dun wanna describe, its totally fukd up. B4 tucking in, got many food stuff from the MBK supermart, chuk and 10B red bulls lol, green curry and tom yam kung paste for mum.

Day 8
Last day in Thai le, IOW shopping! Went to MBK to look for gifts, sports Ts but unfortunately they're quite ex (still abit cheaper than in sg) Its a last minute decision to chiong back Platinum mall to do shoppind. Rush hour indeed, cabd thru the Tjam and chiong up the mall, trying to recall wer were the shops we saw the day b4. I tink i bought arnd 16 T-shirts? most for frens n family, only 4 for myself, not counting those for the bball dudes which were with smurf n roge. Its like amazing race, chiong here n there, shuffle thru the clothe hangers for nice Ts. In a nutshell, last day is for shopping and nth else, i tink we skipped lunch too.

Got to airport at arnd 2+ and makan 1st at this funny jap fastfood b4 checking in. we're trying to spam finish Baht in our possession b4 we zhaod back to SG so stop by at family mart to buy random food stuff. Damn funny during the baggage check, smurf almost got ownd by the officer, he wz carry 3 100ml bottles of redbull, the officer took it out n smiled which makes smurf kinda freakd. Then he took out another, then the last. Smurf abit panic n point at the bottle saying its 100ml. In the end the officer jus took out a zip-loc n stuffd em all inside. Jus wen he thought his precious 10B red bull gonna get chong-gongd lol.

3hrs plane back to SG, reached at arnd nite time le. This time no french dudes, got more pple though. Roge parents came to pick us up, b4 that we kinda sort out our stash at T1 arrival hall. Every1 staring at our heaps of clothes n food lol. Thai trip ended, safe, one piece!
