My baggage was the lightest, it was 3.2kg I think
Checking into The Ecotel Bangkok
Lobby, the only area where it has wi-fi. Ya, the rooms don't come with wi-fi as it claims
Sokgin and I shared a room. I took the king-sized bed, while she took the single one. Point to take note, I'm not bullying her, i actually find my bed too huge for one. Its just... (haha, some secrets ought to be kept).
Slowly after we reached the hotel, Alison's student, Yes Student, she's 18 now, drove us to Jatujak Green night market. And I saw a striper once I dropped myself off the car, he merely cover his important part with a shirt. Hell gross! And unlucky me!
Hm, this night market sell mostly second-hand stuffs, not the type of things we tourists would want to get
They have quite a number of pubs nearby too!
And food stalls which resemble our local pasar-malam
Part of our dinner. Thai local delight; beef noodle, otah like stuff, braised pork rice, stir-fried pork etc
We spent our time there for a couple of hours and called it a night. We were too tired especially Sok gin who just finished her night shift the day before.
Day 2:
Got up early in the morning, had our free breakfast catered by the hotel and off we went with our expedition. Haha.
I dragged the girls with me and headed off to Paul's Fashion located
right opposite Platinum mall. It was merely a 15-20 minutes walk from
our hotel.
Blinded by the amount of fabrics I got to choose from
Its my first time choosing fabrics and I was lost for choice!
Spent a good 20 minutes in the shop while the girls sat outside waiting for me.
And I settled these fabrics in the end
Hopped onto a cab afterwhich and off we headed down to Chatuchak market. I know that my hair looks crazy! I can't find the hair dryer in the room. I only managed to find it on the last day, I know right! Blur me as usual!
Chatuchak
Friends. Hahaha
Pretty wedding invitation cards. Give Ms Julia some rough ideas on what her future invitation cards would be like.
Coconut ice-creams. Should have gotten those in coconut husk. They taste nicer in my impression.
'I must get this nautical dress!' Julia reaching out for it but couldn't. We got help from a strong tall singaporean guy who passed by and told us: 'Let me help you! Singaporean must help Singaporean ma' Hahaha. Thank you kind soul!
Didn't get lots of stuffs in Chatuchak this time round as compared to the previous. I merely got 3 items I believe! I know right?! How could it be true, especially for me? Well, we headed off to Union mall after which. The mall stuffs is actually more 'expensive'. In the sense that, its comparable to the stuffs sold in Bugis street. $20 average. I actually saw quite a number of items I believed I would get. But the girls advised me not to do so as we would be heading down to Platinum mall the next day. Oh well.
Headed back to the hotel and once we settled down in the lobby, we received news from kins and friends that Thailand is quite chaotic. It really is! But not as exaggerating as what is posted on the news. Hm, maybe its true. Only to that certain parts in Bangkok. However, Thai government did advise public not to head out at night. So the obedient us, stay tight in the hotel that very night. How 'lucky' of us!
And thank you all my friends who ask me to stay safe. Appreciate all you guys concern, sincerely! Till part 2 post.
