Day 2 : Bangkok, Thailand

So we landed.
So we took some time to figure out the baggage claims area.
So we took a while to get into taxi.
So we paid THB 600 for taxi fare.
So we were on the "SuperHighway" in Bangkok.
So we arrived at the Bangkok Boutique Hotel, 241 Sukhumvit Soi 21 (Soi Asoke)
So we checked- in.
So we brushed up and changed to much comfortable clothing.
So we took SkyTrain to SiAm Square.
So the trip is now officially begun.

We are SO excited.

My friend, Ethan, who has been coming to Bangkok quite often the last few months, he is now our guide for Bangkok.

Here is me, a photo taken by Ethan, reading the SkyTrain map.




First thing first, FOOD. (Malaysian no.1 hobby) Ethan brought us to a food court at MBK (Mah Boo Khong Center). Check out the food I ordered.

PORK KNUCKLE RICE


This is the ONE dish I miss about Bangkok, not the fancy malls, not the cheap fancy clothing but JUST this.

It is basically stew pork knuckle with Soy Sauce with salted vegetable as side dish.

10 thumbs up~!



STICKY RICE WITH MANGO

This is another famous Thai cuisine that many sure can recognise.

10 thumbs up~!



After lunch, Ethan brought us to this "Gourmet Supermarket" at Siam Paragon.


This is a very special supermarket. The way the variety of grocery was displayed in the supermarket - orgasmically cool and I forgotten to snap any photos!

There are many "cool-well-decorated" cafe in Siam Paragon and we couldn't resist for a tea break in one of these cafe.


Ethan and Adrian choosing their pastry for tea break. Pretty hard to make a decision, all the different type pastry....yum yum yum!

The deco around the cafe is kinda cool. There is even a "lake" that we sit by for tea.



Here is me and Ethan, photo taken by Ad.


As I called it...melting scones... 8 thumbs up!!


We decided to go back to hotel the rest of the afternoon as we all woke up really early to catch flight and for a good rest and get ready to explore...Bangkok after the sunset **wink**
