Cold Nostalgia

Saturday, March 6, 2010 @ 2:00 AM

finally i'm back from bangkok.. i really miss the food there.. haha.. okok.. shall tell u how i spend my 5 days in bangkok wit my friend, ying ying..

Day 1

after arriving at our hotel i-residence ( its a good hotel, cept you can hear the ppl talking next door and the shower water tends to be cold at times but apart from that, location rocks ). we took the train to our 1st destination..... Jatuchak!!! The waffles were really great, really soft and warm.. and the fishball are really really tiny.. but its really good.. we had guavas too but it suxs and ying fell sick after eating that.. hahah.. other than that, Jatuchak is a MUST go, everything is soooo cheap and the stuff there are good quality.

After that we went to La Phrao night bazzar.. Didnt have much there to buy but the stuff they sell are really cool.. i saw my favourite.. GAME BOY!!! how i miss that era when gameboys were trendy.. haha..

Day 2

we went to Khao San Road to book the tours. we book our tours from this place called mama tours.. this was the only tour that allowed us to go to 3 places in a day.. haha.. so it was pretty cool.. in the end for lunch we settled for this roadside stall for some phad thai and tom yam soup.. the tom yam soup is super delicious.. after walkin in the hot sun at khao san, we decided to head down to chinatown.. maybe the tuk tuk guy brought us to a wrong place cuz the chinatown that we went to sell things like saws, vaccum, blades, etc etc.. so i guess that could be the thieve's market? who knows. in the end we settled for some fishball noodle soup.. i swear its realli nicer than those in singapore.. im really dead serious.. haha.. and this was the day when my dear friend got sick..

Day 3

the day of our tour.. this is the most unforgettable day.. i donno whether its a good thing or not.. haha.. 1st thing when we reached, this thai guy starts telling me how much he loves me.. ok... hmm.. but to cut the whole story short, the 1st stop was floating market.. its a really cool place and really crowded and the boat ride is really fun.. after around 1 hr at the floating market it was time for us to head down to the elephant village ( out of the whole tour only the 2 of us went ). the elephant ride was really a once in a life time experience and the elephant drooled all over my leg.. argh.. but what made me really really mad was when our "driver" asked us to buy some souvieners so that he could feed the elephant and when we refused, he used to the sickle-like thing to whack the elephant's head.. i was soooo angry i almost kicked him down the elephant.. after that.. we went to this war memorial thingy which we din wanan go in, then i tink it was lunch after that.. didnt have time to take pictures cuz i was just tooooo damn hungry.. haha.. after lunch i forgot where we went but in the end we went to the tiger temple.. the one that i was waiting for the whole time.. omg the tigers are soooooo cute.. really try to visit the tiger temple if you get the chance.. although there are reports saying that these tigers are being drugged, i dont know if thats true or not cuz these tigers just laze there.. but if you can, just try to do a single tour cuz with a single tour you can spend more time with the tigers and the tiger cubs.. smthing which i didnt have the chance to.. well the day ended wit me getting kissed on the cheeks by the bus driver.. ahha.. a really wierd day for me.. after being dropped off at khao san, we made our way down to suan lum night bazzar. another place which is a must go.. loveee their pig trotter rice.. just cant get enough of it. hahaha.. and for supper.. we had Mac.. they have pork burger.. its really nice although it taste like the normal hamburgers we have here.. but still nice..

Day 4

shopping shopping n shopping.. we went to pratunam to realise that they only sell office wears and wigs so in the end we spend the whole day at platinum mall.. they sell stuff by wholesale so its really cheap and the stuff there are really nice.. we had alot of food that day also.. 1st was the tom yam noodle soup (not nice), the kway chap with the rolled kway ( not nice also), the shark fin soup (so so ) and KFC (super nice). after that we ended our night at patpong.. it was a WOW.. bars with girls dancing in bikini or is that just bra n undies. then they keep asking if we wanted to watch ping pong show.. just google what is ping pong show and you will be amazed.. apparently we did not watch it and we took that time to go for 2 hr thai massage.. omg.. that massue is sooooooooo irritating.. she kept chanting "tip tip tip tip tip" behind me.. n just cuz she chanted.. i walked off.. hahahaha

Day 5

nothing much.. this was the day we came back to singapore.. but nontheless we still shopped at siam center.. not a bad place to shop but quite small.. but its ok.. although this trip we went to places like MBK and other shopping malls but honestly, i prefer the markets much much better.. aniways really had fun during this trip and felt bad cuz my friend got sick in the end after the trip n lost her voice.. :x
