I am back from BANGKOK!
BANGKOK is a shopping paradise!!!
I simply love shopping and shopping and shopping over there!!!
It's so CHEAP!!!
Alright, i have to calm down and briefly talk about what happen from Day 1 to Day 5.....

Day 1 (9/3/06, Thursday)
Took a 9pm+ Swiss Air flight to Bangkok... Reach the airport at about 11pm+... The taxi driver warmly welcome us and brought us back to our hotel, Baiyoke Suite. We went to the lobby to check in and that 'SHITTY' lady so rude!!! Anyway, let's dun talk abt her.. We check into our room and realise that is 2 two beds! A single bed in a living room and another queen size bed in the bedroom. Weird ah? We unpack our stuffs, bath and slept at about 2pm...

Day 2 (10/3/06, Friday)
Woke up at 8am and meet the rest for breakfast at hotel level 43... I really HATE the lift... We waited for about 15mins to get into the lift... We finished our breakfast and Jennifer Auntie brought us to the market below our hotel... That is the Pratunam Wholesale Market... We walked around and saw so many so many stuffs to buy... Tees, jeans, skirt, necklace, earrings and of course many many more... I couldn't resist the temptation and got 3 tees after strolling down the market for 10 minutes??? Haha... We went back to the lobby to meet Ah Hoon Auntie and his husband... And we went kai-kai at World Trade Centre... Dear and I didn't manage to get anything from there as the stuffs over there are quite expensive... WTC is quite big but not much to shop as they are renovating lorz... Er.... we went to the temple after shopping at WTC... Waited for aunties, uncles and Alan to pray and then we took a cab to Mah Boon Krong ... MBK is so so BIG!!! We went to have our lunch at the foodcourt first.. I think the system is quite troublesome larz.. We need to change money to vouchers den can buy food lorz... Dear and I bought many many foods as they were so tired after so much of walking and shopping.. We bought the beef soup, tom yam kung, fried oyster and shark fin... The tom yam is really SPICY!!! Love it!!! We continue shopping at MBK after our lunch... We had a great time shopping there from level 7/8? to level 3? Er.. didn't manage to finish shopping the entire centre as is too BIG le... We took a cab back to hotel... Bath and wanted to go to the Suam Luam Night Market...BUT... too bad... No cabs wanted to drive us there and so we postphone to the next day... Dear and I went shopping on our own but we found that almost all shops are closing.. We couldn't find any place for dinner and had to get fishball noodle soup from those roadside hawkers... Oh.. we oso get some bbq chicken and pork back to our hotel to eat... HeehEe.. Yum Yum...

Day 3 (11/3/06, Saturday)
Woke up at the same time and had our breakfast... Den Jennifer Aunite bought us to Chachuchak Market by skytrain... Is my first time taking train at Bangkok.. Is so so cool.. V. clean... As we had to get back to the hotel to meet Ah Hoon auntie at 3pm. We had limited time shopping only.. about 4 hrs? Er.. is too short to cover the entire market.. We mange to get quite a lot of stuffs there as the things there are so cheap lorz... At about 2.30pm, we meet up at entrance 18. The weather is very very very HOT!!! We took a train back to Chit Lom... 6 stations away... We got back to our hotel... took a short bath and went down to have our late lunch at about 4pm? Er.. the food there not bad lei.. Is like our S'pore 'zhu chai' lorz.. The tom yam kung got coconut wan and not too spicy.. not bad.. But i dun really like their Coke.. Is too gasy for me le... Anyway, after we finish our lunch.. We took a cab and proceed to the Suam Lam Market.. I personally feel that the stuffs over there are so much expensive compared to Chachuchak Market. Even if we bargain, the price wouldn't be very good too.. I bough only a shirt and 2 hair clips from the market and we had our dinner over there.. The food centre is very clean... They sell lots of international foods too... Not ex... After our dinner, we went for foot and body massage. 60 minutes for 250 bahts... Not very ex la... The foot massage is simply great!!! I LOVE IT!!! The body massage was a bit ticklish... Heehee... After massage, we took a cab back to hotel...

Day 4 (12/3/06, Sunday)
Dear and I finally are going shopping on our own in Bangkok. We woke up a little later as we were too tired le... Had our breakfast as usual and we slowly walked to the IT City... Reached there at about 9.45am(Thai time)... The shopping mall had not opened yet... But many peoples were waiting outside the mall... Dear and I had nothing to do and so we took some pics outside the mall, with A&W bear and in KFC... Finally the shopping mall main entrance open... We went in happily and so excited to get my dear stuffs.. But realise many many shops were not open yet... We strolled and walk around for about 1-2 hours and got some pc games for both dear and my brother... Actually dear wanted to buy anti-virus programs but... too ex... more ex than SG lorz.. We den walk back to Pratunam Wholesale Market to get many more of my tees and necklaces... We finished shopping there and quickly leave our stuffs in our hotel room. We den bath and walk to the skytrain station... It was a long and tired journey to the station... It was so hot.. We manage to get into the train and we went to Chachuchak Market to shop again.. We have our lunch... shop... bargain... in the market... We were exhausted after shopping for many hours... We took a cab back to the hotel... Woo... had a cold bath... Is so so so cooling... Dear and I then walked to a nearby seafood resturant to have our dinner... We order crab, kang kong and SHARK FINS... Yummy... So full... We went back to Pratunam Wholesale Market... saw elephant... feed the elephant with sugar cane... It is so scary.. Its trunk kept coming near to me.. and is so sticky de.. Eee.. But he is cute.. I had a pic with him.. but i was holding that stupid plastic bag for someone lorz.. Haiz.. i look for auntie in that pic.. Sianz...

Day 5 (13/3/06, Monday)
Our last day in Bangkok... Sad.. I dun bear to leave this shopping paradise... I love the clothes, accessories, shoes, tom yam kung and the massage... But.. everything has to come to an end right? But before it ends, dear and i went for our LAST LAST Minutes shopping.. We were crazy.. We bought many tee, necklace, jeans, skirt withough bargaining as we know we have not much time to waste le... And after we finished shopping, we quickly packed it into our luggage.
We check-out at 1pm(Thai time) and went to the airport.. We had our lunch over there... The tom yam kung was great.. Yum Yum...
