Thailand Day 1

Today is the first time baby and me going out on a trip together. although we are going together with ug and jj. we woke up at 330am to get prepared for the trip. after cleaning up, packing last min items, checking here n there, we finally got on the road at 4am. we picked ug n jj up at 430am (guessed some mis-communications between us, lol…) anyway, we reached the budget terminal at ard 445am. which was actually too early. anyway, we went to have our breakfast at hans. below are the pictures that were taken during the breakfast, hehe…

at abt 510am, the check-in counter opened. baby as usual, go chop place first for queuing, lol… then i followed lor… after queuing and checking in, we proceed to the departure hall to do some window shopping. then baby was wanting to buy one of the moisturizing cream, but would onli do so when we come back from thailand. so walk walk here, walk walk there, time to board. we took the flight at 710am n reached bangkok 2hrs later, bangkok timing 805am. dats fast, after a short nap, we reached liao. below are some pictures again from suvarnabhumi airport.

got on a taxi from a kind lady (she offered us 500 baht to fetch us from the airport to baiyoke boutique hotel) ya, as i mentioned, we will be staying in this hotel. luckily ug was ard, he knows the price better over at thailand. (initially he rejected a 950 baht cab ride, wt.. so much…) so we took a long 1hr ride from the airport to the hotel. (or was it 1hr 30mins? opps) ok, we reached the hotel at ard 10am or was it 1030am, i 4got!!! but we couldnt check-in cos the room hasnt been checked out. so we went for a brunch at baiyoke sky coffee cafe. (brunch == breakfast + lunch) happily eat n eat, pay n pay, never even check whether gt count wrongly, lol… at the end of the day, we paid for an extra cup of coffee. below are the photos taken from this cafe. (jj still say my one common, dun need take photo...)

anyway after the breakfast, we went down to the family mart at the same level to get some necessities, then met this super cmi attitude cashier… say already oso angry, cos of her, we wasted so much time to activate the sim card we bought over there… too bad no photos of her, else u all will know who she is and refrain from buying things frm her. (or rather when she is around)

after dat we tried to check in again, tis time to our (baby n mine) room first. then waited waited for 30mins their room still uncleared, so dun care, we juz proceeded to shop looooohhhh. shopping onli, baby aim naraya le, haha… she say there damn cheap compared to singapore’s branch. i oso stunned when i see the super big crowd over there. oh ya, we took a free shuttle van there, provided by baiyoke sky. onli free for all baiyoke ‘residents’, hehe. ok back to naraya, wah those 2 ladies (baby n jj) can really shop, haha… they took 1hr+ in the shop sia… they both bought a lot of bags over there, we also caught up on some souvenirs from this shop. below are some pictures taken in the shop, lol… (ok, 1 picture )

then out we went to the open space outside the mall, wah there oso super lots of ppl. we walked in n out of the ‘market' place over there. quite a lot of interesting things to see n buy actually. i see these ppl are mostly those come to sell to make some quick bucks or juz to come n sell out of interest. cos those things are hand made n nt factory made. below are also some pictures taken.

then the most awaited dinner of the day, a trip down to chinatown after we rested a while in the hotel. dinner at one of the seafood stall over there. heard that there are only 2 stalls, n both are equally a lot of ppl, so we juz took one of them. the food is very cheap, calculated one person nt even $15 n we ate like 6 dishes? no wonder my fren recommended us to go there for the seafood. after having the seafood, we headed back to hotel early for rest le, cos of nt enugh slp the day b4, haha… below are some pictures taken for the seafood.
