My BKK Trip Jan 2012 Part 1

On the 9th of Jan me and my girls decided on a short getaway trip to Bangkok City... At first I couldn't make a decision on whether to join them or not as I'm afraid it might affect my leave schedules for my future trips... But well, it was the best decision ever to go on a holiday with these wonderful friends of mine..namely...

Wenna - who never fails to capture moments and keep our spirits high... Never a moment of boredom with her ard!  

Xin Hui - who is forever taking the lead and being our mini doraemon as she has everything you need for a trip... Even printed a pocket size conversion table for easy shopping.. Sweet Max!

Sam - who is so street smart and always cracking her random jokes... She lost her wallet on the first day of the trip but she never shown signs of dampening our moods... How can we not love her?

Our Itinerary planned on new yr's eve..


Here's how we start... 


 Wenna's attemp to study her notes on plane... Hence the word "attempt" lasted for 10mins??


Pink n red luggages...

Trying to seek help to locate our Hotel... Was advice to take a train...

As u can see Xin is always doing the job, me and sam trying to be involved and Wen capture moments...:)


Our Hotel is name Grand Alpine... Near Bayoke Sky 2... This is how the suite looks like... in a mess...

A little tv corner too...

As soon as we settled our check in and luggages we headed to Platinum for our meal and first shopping stop... Tuk Tuk

Wenna and I camwhoring while Xin n Sam gets the Foodcourt credit card...

As a Tom Yam Soup lover I told them that we must have Tom Yam Soup everyday! And we did!!




Outside Platinum Mall..

This is where the first con incident starts... We got on a cab and planned to go to a concept restaurant call Cabbage and Condom located at Sukhumvit...  cab driver told us that the yellow soldiers are having a riot or something and even show us a new report...

as tourists...yeah, we never doubt him..

Hence, drove us to somewhr nice for a meal since we had nothing better in mind...

This is where we ended up at! Some seafood restaurant place! As soon as we reach we knew it! because there were only 1 or 2 tables filled with Caucasians( Obviously tourist) and soon more tourist from Japan also arrived in cabs like us....and cab drivers who promise to come back in an hour time to fetch us back to hotel..

 Kena-conned-but-what-to-do Face...


Tom Yan soup again! 

The rest of our very so-so food.. awful fried rice...

 The price of the food is almost the same as the restaurant we intended to go ( Slightly higher, w GST and service charge just like Spore!)... but the feeling of being con just sux... Because there were no bomb or whatever riots at Sukhuvmit! and I've heard similar stories only after I shared w my friends who are there before...

Well, tourist being tourist we're there to boost their economy anyway so we shall stay positive! So we still had fun every whr we go...!

Sam did random stupid things like that..



Some fruits that we bought while walking back to our hotel... Do you experience constipation while you travel  too?  We do, so taking fruits is one of our solution... shall reveal Con experience 2 and our next tip on preventing constipation in the next post!

Nights! Bye!
