Lost.Empty.Full Of Shit

SAWATDII KHA KRUNG THEP!!

DAY 1:

Reached SG airport at 5am to get DFS stuff. Too bad there wasnt Macdonald's

at Terminal 1. I missed those days where we have Mac breakfast at T1

overlooking the airplanes. Gives you the feeling of leaving here. So too bad

Mac moved out of T1 and we had to eat the disgusting Delifrance breakfast,

which is totally unlike Delifrance.

Disgusting Delifrance.

Arrived at Thailand airport like a Zombie as we only slept like 2 hours the

previous night. I didnt slept much on the plane as i was busy playing the PSP.

Without knowing it we reached le. The hotel (Grand Diamond Suite) is so

fabulous, they gave us a room straight and the room we always stayed in

even when we arrived at the hotel at 9am. It meant alot because sitting on

flights can be damn tiring, its nice for ppl to rem you and give you the VIP

treatment you see.

Dark Rings.

I couldnt wait to do shopping and discover how things have changed that i

charged out of the hotel ASAP to start my long awaited shopping!!! First stop

Krung Thong Shopping Complex. I used to get my stock from there. Small but

full of variety and cheap!! I think within 5 mins i bought something liao.. Hee.

Second Stop: Platinum Shopping Mall. Its a relatively new complex that is

enormous but more pricely. Bought ever so many things there too, but we

didnt managed to finish the whole mall cause its almost impossible. Went back

to the hotel to have my favourite Tew Chew Sharkfin Restaurant. We had my

favourite Suckling Pig!!! Love it soooo much...

The Chicken.Prawn & Jellyfish.

Mr Pig.

100% Crabmeat.

At night we went to the infamous MBK. Bullshit again. I think its a total waste

of my time. I dun understand how come everyone goes Bkk goes there and claim

that its so wonderful. End up stocking up on my Watson's products as they are

cheaper than SG. Headed back to our hotel early, bought beer to drown ourselves.

But i guess i was really too tired because i dun even rem zonking out without

even touching my drink. Poor bf end up "He Men Jiu'. Haha.

DAY 2:

Woke up at 0555. I thought i saw bf faint when i woke him up and told him

it was 6am. Haha. I felt totally refreshed as i slept at 10pm the previous night.

We decided to go for our Klong(River Boat) ride that morning.

Favourite Breakfast Buffet.

Look At His 'Steam' Face.

So off we went for a Klong ride for 1000Baht. Overpriced!! But well for the

experience, fine! Its like in another part of Bkk, not lavish nore glamourous

but very down-to-earth and realistic. Finally destination: Wat Pho (Reclining Buddha)

1000 Baht Klong

Setting Off.

River Folks.

Wat Arun.

Tha Tien

Wat Pho.

Random.

Somehow or another, we decided that we have enough of Wat (temples).

So we board a Tuk Tuk and he brought us ard Bkk. Mainly to places that

he could claim his petrol vouchers. So Off he brought us to an export centre,

selling Thailand made jewelleries to tourist at a tax free price. With certification.

Alot of ppl actually buy during this period and bring it back to SG to sell to

places like Poh Heng and Lee Hwa. They end up with a windfall.

The ppl were very nice and helpful although i didnt appear to be someone rich.

Intiatially, i saw a blue sapphire with diamond ring at the export centre, but it

cost 3200 Sing dollars. So definitely no no. I thought it was so nice and nothing

could be nicer. You must be thinking precious gems are like very old fashioned

and stuff, but no no the ones i saw were not. They were definitely very classy

and sophisticated. At the factory i saw another ring i love more than the previous

one. Damn it. Alot of ppl only know sapphire to be blue in color, but there are actually

yellow and pink sapphire. If your were to see those gems you will know what i

mean and you will be able to tell the difference between a pink sapphire from semi

precious stones which cost alot cheaper and much lower quality. There is this pink

sapphire ring framed on gold. The total caret add up to 1.9. So totally beautiful. But

this one has got no diamonds, so it only cost 900 Sing dollars. I totally love it, bf

wanted to buy it for me because even he thinks its beautiful, which is rare,

but i think its a little expensive still. I know in the first place i dun think there is

pink sapphire in Singapore yet, secondly even if there is it will definitely be a hot

buy and extremely expensive. But still 900 Sing dollars is not a small buy. But

now i come to think of it, i think i was an extremely stupid woman to reject that offer.

Damn it DAMN IT@!!!

Mr Tuk Tuk.

Ok then we went off to a tailor shop and i made a pants for abt 60 Sing.

Mum says its not cheap, but well i am not familiar with the market rate.

Last stop, we went off to Chinatown and Nakhon Kasem Market. It was a

bad place. Ok bf was excited at Nakon Kasem market because it sells all the

electronic and car stuff. Chinatown was nothing at all. Nothing interesting,

but the stuff there is very cheap la. But the stupid cab drivers there like to

chop ppl la. So we went back to the hotel totally tired. It was a long and eventful day.

In our wonderful hotel, we ordered room service and had my favourite TOm Yum

Kung. Super nice!!

Favourite Tom Yum Kung.

Pineapple Rice.

At night we went to Suan Lum Night Bazaar. Everyone told me it was closed.

But bull shit. It is still standing there good as new. I was very sad as i didnt

managed to buy the dress i saw cause it was a little stained and it was the

last piece. Sad. In the end, Happy got the most things. I bought a very

cheaper retractable dog leash and a dog collar that i realised was too small for

poor Happy.

DAY 3:

Woke up at 0630. It was a continuation of Day 2. Another impromptu decision

to book a cab off to Ayuthaya. A little town off Bangkok City. Its abt 1hr drive

away from main Bangkok city. Lesson Learnt: Ayuthaya was the capital city

before the king moved to Bangkok many hundreds of years ago. Thus it has

the taste of an old and used-to-be glamorous but forgotten city. The ruins

stayed on looking sad and lonely. It was a beautiful sight. Something you

definitely do not see anyway else. It took us a total of 15oo baht for the cabbie

to bring us around the town of Ayuthaya like a personal tour guide.

Wat Yai Chaya

Sticking Gold Foils On Buddha's Body.

Golden Buddha.

Feeding The Fish.

So Many The Fish.

We went for the elephant ride too!! Expensive. 1000Baht for two ppl. But

well its an experience. I totally love elephants, i dun know why. But i think they

are so cute and smart. They actually looked left and right before crossing the

roads. Haha. So adorable!!

Cute Baby Elephant.

Our Turn.

Elephant Riding.

Views on Elephant 1.

Views On Elephant 2.

All are impressive. But the most impressive of all is also the largest ruins of all.

Wat Maha That. An old Monk Monastery which was partly destroyed by war

few thousand years ago. We can still feel the former grandeur of the place.

As you know Thailand is supposed to be very religious, it was even more

profound a few thousand years back. The sheer size of the structures already

made a statement.

The Entrance.

Funny.

The Sheer Size.

Wat Maha That.

Ruins.

Sweet.

At late noon, we walked around at Pratunum Market, baiyoke and Indra Sq.

But fruitless. Only bought guys stuff for Dad and Bro. Nothing for myself.

At night we went to Patpong just for fun. There isnt much to do during the night

in Bangkok unless you like to pub and drink. As usual we were harressed by

many ppl in Patpong to go and look at the Ping Pong Shows and the Thai Girls Shows.

Seriously i was sorely tempted and extremely curious but i think it somehow is

offensive to a woman when you see other women make use of their bodies to

do offensive actions. I am weird. So we didnt do anything but ate Macdonald's.

Double Fillet O Fish!!! I love them i dun know why SG doesnt sell them anymore.

After walking and walking for 3 days straight, both of us were exhausted so we

decided to go for a foot massage. I managed to convince bf to go togehter( he was afraid of

kicking the ppl) so we enjoyed an hour of foot, shoulders, hand and head massage for 2

50 Baht per ppl. We walked out extremely satisfied. We headed back to the hotel at

abt 12 midnight. Watched our favourite HBO and Star Movies. The only spoil-spot

is that they keep playing Spider Man 3 and The Covenant. Duhz??

DAY 4:

Sadly, it seemed so fast and it is already the last night of our trip. Having

an extremely eventful and fulfilling last 3 days, we decided to take it slow

and just rot ourselves in the hotel. I tried to do some more shopping at

Platinum Mall as we didnt finish walking on the first day, but decided we

were too tired. We went back to the hotel to have room service again. But

didnt really enjoy it. Green Curry and Coconut Milk Ton Tum Chicken.

Not too nice.

At noon we went down to the pool to relax and unwind. I love to swim in a

private pool. Clean and less disturbance.

Rot till 7pm. Too bad it was raining like mad. But lucky they provide

umbrellas in the hotel. So thoughtful. We made our way slowly and

painfully to the seafood restaurant near our hotel. We ate our favourite

Sharkfin and big-head prawns. But sadly to say, it wasnt as nice as it used

to be. And i end up having indigestion for the night. So we just walked

around the night markets there in the rain and decided to retired back to our hotel.

Prawns That Are No Longer As Nice.

Fins.

P.S I dun know what happened to my Scallop Dish Pic and i figured out that no one is interested in the Kang kong Dish.

TV watching again and at 11pm, we went off to a Traditional Massage at

our hotel for 410 baht per ppl. No bad. But i was disappointed as my bones

didnt creak as much as i want it to. I guess i am already flexible. Bf said he

creaked like nobody's business. Haha. But well, it was good as i was having a back ache.

DAY 5:

A sad day because i will be back to the stressful SG in another few hours.

The plan was actually to go Chatuchak but we decided not to as i have

already bought my Bikini. So we shopped at the unfinished Platinum

Mall and bought yet more clothings. Ate A& W. Disappointed that the KFC

there doesnt sell Colonial Strips anymore. At 3pm we waited at the hotel lobby

playing PSP as both of us wasnt sure what time the coach was coming to fetch

us to the airport.

Finally at 6pm, the coach came. And off we went to the airport. Didnt do

anything at the airport. We didnt have dinner as we didnt have enough

Thai Baht and didnt wanna change money anymore. REached SG at 0005.
