bangkok trip (2 - 6 july)

my first experience with airasia was flying to bangkok on my own. for me, it was excellent. i don hav any complain n mayb i was lucky. but to b honest, i will definitely fly with airasia again if they hav flights to destination i'm going to.

day 1~
my fren (originally is my bro's fren ^still my bro's fren^hehe:-)) lynn picked me up from the airport once i arrived. together with koy & giggs (both r lynn's frens) then we had dinner around her house. was feeling so excited. everybody (i mean EVERYBODY) is speaking thai. but it wasnt strange to me at all. mayb coz one of my childhood frens is thai n i hav many thai frens in my life. quite used to their slang. n i know quite a couple of thai words. (oh i'm genius, STO u know. hehe:-))

after the dinner, i open the bangkok map i took from the airport n plan my trip for the next few days. lynn n her frens r so helpful n they gav me so many advices on where to go n how to get there (also some of the local prices so i wont get cheated) oh gosh, it was really cool to b my own tour guide. FREEDOM~~ u know... n of coz, its good to know the local ppl rather than being there as a 'blind' tourist.

P/S: the tomyam was so delicious (sour n taste diff than those selling here), the fish was so special with salt on top. i can still feel the 'sour' whenever i think of it... hehe/


day 2~
now start my journey by being a bit adventurous. just A BIT. took the map, bought the train tic, all the way down to town. wat else? shopping la @@ (i actually prepared a list of wat i wanna buy from bangkok, to prevent me from splurging my money - as usual) i walked the whole day, from 1 shopping mall to another. i think basically i rounded all shopping malls the whole day. but the best part is, i did something i never did in my life - finger nails art^^ don b surprise. ya~ i painted my nails for rm20. so? just a simple one. fathao ma (really dunno wats the best word to use in eng) bought 3 bags, 2 pairs of sandals, some accessories, etc... (really some only) oh ya, to reward myself for walking the whole day, i went for rm9.90 massage (really cheap n good)

last thing of the day, a nice n romantic dinner in an old style restaurant. (found my grandfather phone n hot water flask there, i mean the really old one from china)

(giggs & i)

(lemon grass chicken)

day 3~
this morning my bro called from taiwan. bro~ don worry la. i can take care of myself. u everytime treat me like a little gal. but i know ur just worried bout me. just don hav to worry k? i wont die here one. hehe:-)

today i went to the older shopping malls at the other side of the town n did some shopping again (never ending shopping here). later then took tuk tuk to lumpini (where there is this HUGE night market n thai boxing) lynn came down after work n we met for dinner. i couldn find the fake lv wallet in town for my bro but finally i found 1 here. there r really nice n cool stuffs n also beautiful bars. i wanted to get some drinks there but lynn said tats not the right place. well~ safety first**

(my lunch, thai style chicken rice??)

(something cool)

day 4~
its unbelievable wat i did today.

first i took the train to the last station n walked all the way to the old town. i passed by china town, further, further, further... until i reach the wat pho n grand palace. OMG, it took me 3 hours... after tat i tak boleh tahan (couldn stand) i went for an hour massage in wat pho. i thought i would feel better after massage, the si fu just broke or i should say crack all the bones in my body. she really made me 'hancur'

(massage school, must go!)

(my lunch, spicy~~)

i moved on, kept walking n walking. then i met a kind man who suggested me places i can visit. he then got me a super duper cheap tuk tuk ride rounding the whole old town for only rm2. its my lucky day^^ coz he waited for me n brought me to so many places. its just not reasonable to earn rm2 for 2 hours work. at the end i gave him some tips for his kindness. i hope it could at least cover his petrol.

(parliament)

(standing buddha, FYI the toe is bigger than me)

(sleeping buddha, the art work is amazing)

when he dropped me at the night market, he even asked me to b careful for 'bad guys' as i'm walking alone in the night. he is just too kind:-)

(the famous 'tuk tuk' in bangkok)

morro is lynn's bday. i told her i must celebrate with her tonight. so we had a very wonderful dinner with some of her frens by the river n i really love the atmos of the restaurant. (to gals only: the owner of the restaurant is very young n handsome) hehe^^

took many pics after bday cake n a nice chit chat. bonus~ my thai is improving. i really had a great time here. thanks lynn:-)
