The Land of Smiles

Got back from the airport last night around 1900 hours, unpacked my luggage immediately. Had dinner with Mummy, Ah Bay and Simon after giving them their presents. Continued to laze around the house, came online for awhile but I was too tired to blog and finally hit the covers around 0300 hours and never woke up till 1830 hours earlier. And honestly, I'm still very tired so I'm prolly going back to my sack after I finish blogging. Hur.

So now, about the trip to Bangkok. Well, I'm going to let the pictures do the talking like Elena did on her blog because like her, I can only remember bits and pieces of it now. Hur. And be warned, it's the most amount of pictures you've ever seen on my blog in a singular entry.

I really hated the water there. It tasted really funny and I'm rather cranky about my water. So yes, SINGAPORE'S DRINKING WATER IS THE BEST EVER. And though I didn't get to eat as much street food as I could but I did fall in love with the meatball thingys there.

28th March, Wednesday - Day 1

Arrived at the airport with mummy and headed to BK to have our dinner. Checked in and headed in to shop around DFS. Bought my Vogue Superslims, Estee Lauder's Pure Pops in Sugar Pie (lost my previous one) and mummy's Loreal mascara.

Finally got off the 2 hour flight, got through customs and had to wait for our luggage on the belt and while we were waiting, we decided to cam whore a lil. (:

29th March, Thursday - Day 2

On our way down for breakfast.

After breakfast, we headed to Pratunam Market, which in my opinion, is as good as Chatuchak Weekend Market and even cheaper. We went mad there and headed back to the hotel early afternoon because our hands were too full to continue. After some much needed rest in the hotel room, we headed out for lunch at Siam Square.

On our way to MBK, we passed by Dunkin Donuts!
We decided to take a skytrain ride to MBK though it was just 1 stop away.

30th March, Friday - Day 3

Headed to Khao San and we were really early because the stalls were only setting up. Hur. Elena and I both did corn rolls. Pretty cool except for the fact that you have to sit under the hot sun for a bloody hour. So I was basically, dripping wet while the lady did my corn rolls.

And here's a very unglam picture of me while doing them.

After that, we walked to Bang Lam Phu, which is the street next to Khao San. After which, headed on a cab to Sukhumvit Market but we got lost there and decided to head back to Pratunam and discovered the wonders of Platinum Mall , the huge shopping centre opposite Pratunam Market and another whole sale shopping centre.

Went back to the hotel to rest and then it was Suan Lom again. Hur.

Woke up late, and missed breakfast. By the time we had instant noodles and headed to Chatuchak it was almost noon. Spent almost 5 hours there and when our hands were all full, we headed back to the hotel.

Day 4's shopping. Chatuchak buys.

After some rest, we headed to Chinatown for dinner. I almost finished an entire plate of Snow Fish all by myself. That dinner was our most expensive meal in Bangkok, amounting up to 1,390 Baht.

After Chinatown, we decided to check out Patpong and Silom Night Market, the infamous red light district. Well, all I can say is, they try to take your heads of with their prices.

So we left and ended up at Suan Lom again. Haha.

Woke up late again and missed breakfast for the second time. Rushed to get ready and rushed to the supermarket to buy instant noodles and chewing gums. Rushed back to the hotel to find that our airport transfer was already waiting for us.

On board the plane back to Singapore!

Arrived in Singapore at 1740 hours. Went to DFS, bought Martell Corden Bleu, Oyster Bay's white wine, 3 Heineken beers, 2 Clinique Super Double powder and Estee Lauder's Emerald Dream eau de parfum.

---

In total I bought 12 tops, 5 dresses, 7 bottoms, 5 pairs of footwear, 1 boxers, 1 bikini, 3 bags, 4 pairs of earrings, 2 belts and a pair of shades.

In total damage, I spent all my 500SGD in Bangkok and another 400SGD in DFS alone. LOL.

This entry took me 2 entire hours. I'm out. Goodnight!
