Bangkok shopping trip

Day #1: Even when we have yet to board the plane, I started my shopping trip. Bought the new olympus mju Tough 8000 for my darling as his bday present coz the shop @ boarding gate was selling the camera @ myr1050! Even this price I cant get a lower range of Tough series outside. The decision was made within 15mins and voila, darling got his new toy and the staff gave us another extra battery due to her blunder.:P

Touch down @ Suvarnabhumi airport around 4.45pm, took the public taxi heading to our hotel and stuck in the traffic jam for 1 hour plus. Check in to our rooms @ White Palace Hotel and left for Arnoma Hotel to meet up with Pat and her sis. Coll S bought lots of earring on the way:) We then head to Central World Plaza for our dinner @ Food Loft. The food there was decent and not too expensive also.

Bid goodbye to Pat and sis, we head to Naraya for our first official shopping. I bought 2 bags yeah!

People just grab like it's free. Even when the sales people told us it's closing time,
nobody bothers...

I realize the shops in Pratunam area close quite early. 8pm plus, Platinum already closing. Anyway, in order not to waste our night, we went to Soi Cowboy to grab some shows. There's a lot of gogo bars there, but we were unsure which one have the shows that we wanna see. So we just went in 1 of the bars there and watch the ladies do pole dancing, some naked, some with clothes. Felt a bit cheated coz those pole dancers aren't dancers at all. I can dance better than them. Next time should check clearly before I go again.

Day#2:

Took some photo @ the lobby before going out

Planned to go Erawan and Chactuchak market. In the end, we spent 1.5hrs just to walk out from the lane in Pratunam to get a taxi. Because there's too much things to see and shop. We didn't even went in to the lanes but just on the main street. And we ended up brought a lot of things to chactuchak...and had to scrap the plan to Erawan.
It was a hot day, but we still very excited about everything in chactuchak. We only remember to start taking photo after we bought a lot of things and are as dead meat. Even when coll S making noise saying wanna go to toilet, we can only make the trip to toilet after an hour coz there are too much things to shop. :D Had some light food and I am so happy that I get to eat the fried quail eggs again! That's the very special dish to me which reminds me my first trip to Bangkok :D and I didn't get to find that during my 2nd trip. Forgot to take a photo tim...

Nice hats

It was just around 4pm and our legs are already giving us away. Hailed a taxi and head back to our hotel for a rest. I am old already? Took a bath and went for foot massage and dinner before heading to skybar @ Lebua State Tower to enjoy great scenery and our night.
The skybar charges are actually quite cheap compare to the skybar in KL. 4 of us only spent around 130myr and they provide us with nuts to snack on. Enjoyed the scenery and the night very much! After we were back to our hotel, we went for massage again. Yes, in the very same day, coz we LOVE massage!

Day#3: I was not feeling well when I woke up. When I brush my teeth, I vomitted and all those I vomitted was solid food, not liquid. Evidence of me experiencing indigestion. And what more, I forgot to bring my regular medicine for my gastric. My throat was injured by those food and bleed a little. I threw up everything I eat or drink. Wasted around an hour there. We were supposed to visit Wat Arun and Grand Palace. So I had to scrap the plan to Wat Arun. Took a taxi to Grand Palace and threw up on the way. The taxi driver was kind enough to bought me some plastic bag, in order for me not to puke in his car. hahaha.
Threw up for a few times along the way to grand palace and @ grand palace as well. I even threw up inside the Wat Phra Khew. Luckily I've got plastic bag with me. I was damn sleepy after all these puking. So darling just accompany me to rest inside Wat Phra Khew and Coll S and Coll B went to look around the palace.

The weather also killing them. Thankfully, darling bought me Gatorade and that's the only thing that I don't throw up after I drink it, but I was still damn sleepy. We took a cab and drop Coll S and B @ MBK while me and darling head back to hotel to rest. After calculating the time, I decided that it was not enough time for us to do anymore shopping @ chinatown tomorrow so we need to go @ night time for day 3. We took a cab there, bought all the pork products and had the shark fins and bird nest @ the food stall there.

When we were back at the hotel, we did foot massage again. This time, we did it @ the massage parlour @ our hotel. And I did a pedicure there too. After massage, I was feeling great despite I actually was feeling a bit of gastric after having shrak fins and bird nest.

Our tired legs on the way to massage

ahhh foot massage...

Day#4: Our flight @ earlier time was cancelled. We knew it days before we depart to bangkok. That means we will reach KL @ late night. But it was lucky that the flight was cancel, coz we had more time to shop. And today, we visited the Platinum mall and bought damn lot of things there.

Yeah, bought another bag!

I need to buy another luggage to put our things coz our bags have no more place to put. Had our meals in platinum's food court and darling was so sweet that bought me another bird nest for me coz I hurt my throat when I threw up the day before. Love my darling!!! After lunch, we did little shopping and headed back to our hotel for packing. Coll S and B spent some effort to stuff everything in their luggage; me and darling repackage everything to reduce the weight for our check in luggage. All of us were damn scared that our luggages will be overloaded. Took a 300baht (damn cheap) cab to the airport, no jam, around 30mins. Then we started to regret we went to airport too early...Should be able to spend more time for shopping instead!!! Anyway, since we were already there, we just shiok sendiri by camwhoring and finally, checked in.

Final group photo with luggages

Shiok sendiri...

We had our dinner @ Burger king @ the airport and everybody enjoyed the pork burger very much.

We got lots of time to walk from 1 end to another end and take pics here and there.
But damn tired...

Finally 820pm, we depart for KL and headed home~

darling and me with my new sweater :D

Coll S was commenting that she finally knows why I've been visiting Bangkok for consecutively 3 times and both of them wanna join my annual trip to Bangkok next time :D
Next time, I should bring them to Wat Arun, Le Scala for roast piglet and sharkfin, and I wanna go for the Safari!
Bangkok, see you again in 2010!
