It's a short getaway, and i really mean it. A pretty short one, our flight was at 840pm on friday night, which means to say we rushed to the airport after work. Our return flight was at 740pm Bangkok time, which is Sing 840pm on Sunday night, touched down at 1130pm and all of us got to work on Monday.
At the airport. While waiting for Jess. She's on compliance, so she came from home. Looking super refreshed!! We had fun while taking the fotos, do you think it looks like the 3 of us is gg on a trip?? without Jen & Jess... Hahaha... We hide Jen's little bag bag behind our luggage.. Oooopss
After we checked in, me and Jingyi were happily buying our beauty products from DFS, we decided to buy it straight away as based on past experience, we'll be too tired to buy it on Sunday.
Done with our shopping, time to board the plane~~~~~~
We didnt have time for dinner, and since this time round we are taking Thai Airways, meals are provided. We all had chicken with noodles, not fantastic, but edible especially when we're all hungry.
Arrived in Bangkok, and reached our hotel - The Emporium Suite =)
At the hotel lobby...
Our cosy room...
We didnt want to waste our night by turning in immediately, so we decided to go to the night market. It was already BKK time 12midnight, which is SIN time 1am!! Wanted to go to Suan Lum Night Bazaar, but the hotel staff told us that the place will be closed by the time we travel there, and he recommended us this place called Kow San Street. Never been there before, but we gave it a try. A v happening place, things are pretty cheap. There are accessories, clothings, food etc.... It is a place where the ang mohs chill out. Something like our holland village.
By the time we got back to the hotel, it was almost 3am?? Cannot really remember.. While i was packing my stuff, hehe.. i got a surprised from my 4 lovely colleagues. My 1st birthday cake. Didnt expect it. Thanks!! But we're all tired, looked really stone from the photos. Where's Jess?
The next morning, before we set off for breakfast. As usual, must take some pics from the balcony.
Our breakfast at the hotel.
After eating, we went to Emporium to buy bras before we proceed to CTC!!
Jingyi & I loves the waffles at the train station. Yummy!!
Spent a few hours at CTC, then a few hours at Platimum Mall.
By then the sky has already turned dark, oh.. that day was actually the mid-autumn festival, wanted to take a photo of the moon in BKK, while Eric Koo will take a photo of the moon in SIN, haha, then we wanted to see the difference. But too bad, it was drizzling and i forgot about the pic. But Eric actually took it for me, hahah!!
Had our dinner at Chinatown, and sad to say, i think this is the only decent meal we had for our trip. Come to think of it, we really didnt eat much for the entire trip. Shopping is more impt =)
Then, we went to buy some goodies/food to bring back. And i discovered something, or should i say, proved something which ah jie told me. We went to this very famous shop called 林真香. And apparently, there are 2 of them, one of which, the name is written horizontally on the signboard, and the logo is a pig. The other one is written vertically and the logo is a dragon. One of it is the authentic one. I only told the rest about this after we bought the food. N guess what, all along, we all went to the imitation shop! hahaha.. On the cab, Jess even showed us a namecard, telling us about the PIG shop, but still we went to the DRAGON shop, and we already make this mistake 1 year ago. Faint.
So, next time, please look out for the cute little pig before buying.
Moved on to Suan Lum Night Bazaar, but we're late again. The shops have already started closing, so we didnt manage to shop much. Went back to hotel for massage at around 1am.
Our last day in BKK. Time flies. Didnt want to waste any precious time.
Had our breakfast, then went to MBK/ Siam Square/Plaza 29 area. Shopped for quite a bit and had our mani n pedi cure done before we rushed back to hotel to go to the airport.
Our nails.. Top left - my mani, bottom left - my pedi, top right - Jess's mani, bottom right - Jingyi's mani.
On the plane, there is this pretty air stewardess that served us. Jen'e eyes couldnt stop starring at her.. Hahah
Home Sweet Home.. My Loots.. I realised i bought very little...
Total damage for the trip, air tickets $320, hotel foc, expenses $380.
And Jingyi's loots..
That's the end of the short Bangkok trip.
I am looking forward to my Korea Trip in Jan, and i just booked a Taiwan Trip for May yesterday... Jetstar Promo, too good to resist, my air ticket only cost $217!!! Going with ah ping... heheh... N Langkawi in Dec?? Ooopss...
