Trip to Bangkok part 3

Chatuchak market & Bangkok's Chinatown

Early in the morning, we set out to Chatuchak market (Yay!). We took MRT to Kamphaeng Phet station. Once out from the escalator, we reach right inside the market =)

We had this Coconut ice cream =)))) So So So So So nice....... omg... feel like eating this again.

I brought quite a lot of stuff.. therefore, didn't took photo of the surrounding...

The naraya bags were brought from Central World & Siam Discovery Center.. The shoe were brought from pratunam for 100 Baht. The rest were from Chatuchak... Most of the blouse is 100 - 200 Baht while the shorts are 3 for 100 Baht =)))

We went back to Terminal 21 foodcourt to had our lunch, I had pad thai again, quite love this stuff. The second dish is oyster omelette (top with fresh bean sprouts).

At night, we want to go to the famous TK Seafood in bangkok's chinatown...
We took MRT to Hua Lamphong MRT station. And we walk.... (Its quite dangerous to walk alone at night, most of the shops is close there except for the Yaowarat street... I recommend taking taxi directly to there instead of walking).

Should go there earlier as the place is crowded. I think I had my best meal in Bangkok there.. and the price is fairly reasonable (much cheaper than in Penang).

Superb delicious grilled prawns (fresh water prawn)

This is the glass noodle crab.. so so so mouth watering NICE!!!

The tomyam ( I think it's quite nice... not as spicy as the other tomyam i tried in Bangkok)

We just order very few dishes, which I regret it now... Should have ordered more.. lol

Yaowarat Road (see, so many people & the traffic).. =) There is also some street vendor selling fruit juice.

We didn't explore much after that due to the earlier incident when we were walking from hua lamphong station to here..Therefore, we took a taxi back to the MRT.

We stop over at Hua Lamphong train station before heading back.

Day 3:
Siam Paragon, Siam Centre, MBK & Asianna.

We took the BTS to Siam stop and arrive at Siam Paragon! =) Didn't buy anything as stuffs are too expensive there. But we went to the top of mall to see the cinema.
Saw this hello kitty sofa setup, so cute rite =)

We also stroll along from Siam Paragon to Siam Centre to MBK. All of these shopping mall is linked via sky walk.
I find MBK is pretty similar to our Sungai Wang plaza... crowded, lots of shops, low ceiling & a high change of getting lost. I suffer from some migraine due to the heat from yesterday and we went to try the Japanese restaurant located on top of MBK.

Soba. Taste so good after a few day of hot, sour & spicy food, this is a relief.

Later in the afternoon, we went to Asiatique..

We took BTS to Saphan Taksin station & then took the free ferry shuttle to Asiatique. Quite crowded on the ferry.

love lock

The place is quite lovely for a night stroll..

We ate at a korean restaurant..

Kimchi soup..

Trip to Bangkok August 2013

Back in August, my family and I went to Bangkok for the first time ever! =)

I booked the flight ticket over a year ago back in Oct during Airasia promo zero fare. Total fare for 4 person two way flight ticket from LCCT - Don Muang is RM 824 (we didn't pay for the luggage, all is hand carry)

Started by taking a bus trip from Penang to Pudu, then transfer a few LRT to KL Central, then took a bus to LCCT (quite troublesome, lol). It would be much easier to just fly from Penang directly to Bangkok.

Looking out from the window

Miss Peaches's pet was also tagging along, lol and she got her own seat!!! Of coz, she also need to put on her safety belt.

Once we landed, we proceed to immigration which is very fast & straight heading towards the outside taxi stand. On our way to Bangkok city, we got in the typical traffic jam (how typical). Bangkok feels totally different from Malaysia... although it is not that far from Malaysia...

Terminal 21 is sooo near from Tune Asoke..

First stop after putting our luggage into our hotel (Tune Asoke =) ), we walked towards Terminal 21's food court. I ordered my first ever meal... spicy noodles (soooo spicy i actually had a horrible stomache 1 hour after this and vomitted the whole thing out).

Spicy noodle + clear soup noodles (notice the chilly paste on the "clear soup").

Terminal 21 is really cool though.. The design on each floor is just soooo pretty.
Ground Floor: Carribean. They have a watch tower in the middle, some man-made waterfall, some beach theme decorations and the toilet is more like old wooden ship theme.

1st Floor: Rome. I think this is the most gorgeous floor, especially the toilets =) They have some painting on the ceilling and some marble sculptures.

2nd Floor: Paris. Hmm... This floor is nice but I find the toilet a little... hmm... It is airport theme. Why would they make an airport theme on the Paris's floor?

3rd Floor: Tokyo. A very interesting floor and a nice toilet.

4rd Floor: London. Nice decoration. The toilet's theme is the London's tube, lol.

5th Floor: Istanbul.. Gorgeous light =)

6th Floor & 7th Floor: San Francisco Pier & Hollywood. The toilet in the 7th floor is gorgeous, complete with red carpet, lighting.. =)

Day 2:
We went to the Pratunam morning market, Platinum mall, Baiyoke tower, Big C & Central World.

Today was a busy busy day with a whole lot of walking.

We went out early to the Pratunam morning market. We took the subway Chit Lom and walk all the way to Pratunam market. It is not a short walk and wearing a good walking shoe would definetely helps a lot. We walk past Central world and there is a lot of street vendor selling various kind of food along the way. Walk across the bridge and soon enough we reach the Pratunam market.

Took this picture on an overhead bridge at Ratchaprarop road. One the first picture, you can see part of the platinum mall on the left and on the second picture, you can see the Baiyoke tower on the right.

Brought these, 5 for 100 bahts

At the McDonald in Platinum Mall. Sitting at this place to have our breakfast while people watching =) We went into the platinum mall (please note that there is 2 mall, each is link via connecting bridge.

So many stuff were sold... from shoes, clothes... endless. ..(didn't took pictures tho) but I remember to take picture of the food we had at the food court at the top of the mall.

Seafood mash fried (crab, shrimp, squids, muessel), quite tasty =)

Nice pork internal.. cant's remember the name but it is very tasty.

Pork satay with honey

And Mango sticky rice =))

After lunch, we walked to Baiyoke tower passing by the Pratunam market. By then, it was so so crowded with people we can barely walk (It was Thursday, can't imagine what it will be like on weekends =S)

The pictures we took from the top of Baiyoke (most of it is in video)
