Bangkok Trip

Remember back in April when I blogged about Air Asia's free seats...and how I managed to book free tickets to bangkok!
Oh well see how time flies! So its not too far to plan your holidays ahead of time, especially if you want them Air Asia ticket cheap!
So the day came when me, li-hsia, my mom, my dad and aunty Cecilia all went for a holiday in Bangkok.
Bangkok was definately a trip to remember... and I actually had planned it all out! Where to go, where to eat...where to shop....shop....and more shopping.

This is us in the big Toyota van that we hired to take us to the hotel. Nice van, I'm not sure what they call it there but it is as big as the Toyota Alphard!

It took us about 45 minutes to the hotel. Our hotel was quite strategically located, just about 3 minutes walk away from Nana station (Sky Train).

Immediately after checking in...we headed for the shopping malls!Our first destination was the MBK Plaza... Was recommended to visit that place if you wanted cheaper stuff. Something like Sungai Wang/Imbi Plaza style... I didn't take much photos cause we were busy walking....eating...walking...

MBK plaza to me was so so... but many many things to see...I tell you if you wanted to buy handphones, there is a floor full of handphone shops! So many...I didnt really check out the prices but I think its about the same price over here. But what caught my eyes was that they were selling unlocked iPhone...which goes for around 2xxx baths.

Ohh well... no budget for phone right now. So, while we were in MBK plaza we actually bumped into a University lecturer, who was so kind enough to provide us some tips and guide on what we should buy in Bangkok. And so our fun began, he recommended that in Thailand we need to buy Thai made products! I like this guy, very patriotic about his country... And he goes on telling us that Thai Silk and Thai jewellery is the best!

And here we are buying jewellery...



As you can see I was so excited... literally sitting at the edge of my seat watching mom buying jewellery...



Well not quite...actually


After the jewellery session we headed for more shopping.....Siam Paragon, Central World, Erawan, and several others.... All located in the same area. The food court in those shopping complexes are nice, almost all the food there is so tasty.

Tuk tuks are great way to move around, seriously its much faster then taking a taxi. They only charge 200baths...which is RM2. =)

So, to sum it all up the rest of the days in Bangkok was shopping and more shopping. One thing for sure, is that this city does not sleep! It operates 24/7, literally. There are night markets if you wanted to do more shopping...makan stalls everywhere.... and of course many other attractions which I won't mention here. =)

One thing for sure is...I'll be back... Here are more pictures of the trip
