Bangkok Diaries Part 1.

DAY 1 - 22 July 2013

We took the morning flight at around SGT 10.25am. Chose Jetstar Asia this time, and my travelling
companion this time round, my mum. :) Which means more walking, less stopping! She's a true shopaholic!
We touched down at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport at BKT 12pm.
*Bangkok timing is 1-hour behind Singapore's time.

We then headed over to the Airport Rail Link Express Train. Each ticket costs 90 baht and it takes
you straight to Makkasan station which is near the city centre. And the whole trip only takes ~20-25mins!
Much faster than taking a cab, and you can avoid all traffic jams! Seats are comfy too.. Awesome!

Upon reaching at Makkasan station, we walked over to the nearby metro Petchaburi Station and
took the train to the next stop, Sukhumvit. Sukhumvit is a interchange to the BTS station Asok.
It's also where Terminal 21 Shopping Centre is located at.
In Bangkok, they have different lines of trains, mainly the SARL, BTS and MRT(metro).

Our hotel, which is called Galleria 10, is located in between BTS stations Asok and Nana.
But I felt that it was nearer to Nana instead.
So we walked to our hotel from Asok and it took us ~10mins.
Upon reaching Sukhumvitt Soi 10, where our hotel is located in, a buggy approached us to
bring us in. The hotel was quite a distance inside, so they provided buggy service, only for hotel guests.
However, one bad point is that the buggy service is till 9pm at night only.. so every night we had to
walk in the lane with just a few street lights on. We never ever reach back to hotel before 9pm. hahaha!

We checked in and after 1/2 hour, we're out again and heading to Chatuchak Weekend Market.
Oh! And near to our hotel, ~5mins walk, there is a Korean Town! It has a Korean bakery, restaurants etc.

Chatuchak is easily accessible by MRT Kamphaeng Phet station. No need for taxi or TukTuk! :)
Lucky enough, Kamphaeng Phet station is in the same line as Sukhumvit!

 

So, this waas how Day 1 ended. Just going to one attraction only, Chatuchak. :)
It was more than enough to make my feet sore!
It only opens on weekends, Saturday & Sunday. Best to go early in the morning ~10am..


Stay tuned for Day 2!!!

Lotsa updates!

#thehellokittycraze here in SG...

I know of McDonald's Hello Kitty collection has been around several times with queues going as long as 300-400 people in the single line queue. And this year is my virgin year collecting and queueing crazily for that kitty. I was so disappointed when I didn't get my hands on the 3rd one (the frog prince) & the last one which was limited edition (the singing bone).. and another limited one (mcdelivery special witch) but I wasn't interested in that.
So, the crazy point of this whole craze was when people start putting up the kitties on sale on forums and ebay. And they would hike up the price all the way to $50/kitty. #omg #wtf
Crazy enough, I wanted the frog prince and the singing bone so badly that I kept searching on those search engines for a seller that has both at a reasonable price. And happily I came across on a forum a seller selling both at $50. Not $50 for one, but $50 for both! I straight away whatsapp the seller to reserve it.

Yes yes, I was that crazy. Well, I do regret it abit now but I still love seeing that 5 Hello kitty on my shelf :)

#gonnabeinholidaymoodsoon

This 20-25 July I'll be heading to Bangkok AGAIN. Hahaha!!! For the past 1 year, I've been to Bangkok 3 times all on a shopping spree. First is during August 2012 with the bf, second is during April 2013 with the bf also & this time is my third time but with a different companion which is my mummy. For the past 2 trips, each time I return back my mum would say "the next time you go bangkok you better bring me along ok!!!" Lol!!!
So, this trip will just be a shopping trip for us mother & daughter. :)
Looking forward to the trip & bringing my mum to try street food.. hope she likes it! Well, I don't think I'll be shopping much as my closet is really bursting!!! My shopping stuff from Bangkok during my April trip is still in my 199 baht bag! Hahahahaha!!!
