3rd day in chiangrai. we went to the hairdresser. by the time we were done, it was already early evening. we went for dinner at the same restaurant we had the day before. later, my uncles brought us to this night bazaar. didn't manage to get anything at all cos my mum wanted to go home early.


our last day in chiangrai, first day in bangkok. we woke up at 5.30am, set off to the airport. we had breakfast before boarding the plane.

we arrived at bangkok aiport at 9-ish.

following, we took a cab to the hotel. we registered and they checked us in early. the hotel was damn nice la right after we settled down, we took the train to siam and went to siam paragon, gourmet market. their train station works exactly like how we used to, with farecards. not very cheap either, S$1 to S$3. at gourmet market, we bought drinks, lotsa snacks, chocolates and dunkin' donuts.

when we were back, we met grace and cp at the lobby. our first destination: mbk. lunch awas at fifth avenue, a food court that works like the village. at night, we visited suan lum night bazaar.


the next day, we went for breakfast at 9am. then we took the shuttle bus to BTS station, where the Sathorn Pier is. we took the chao praya express boat to khao san road. we had only 2+hours to shop so we were like rushing, to catch the last boat. back on mainland, we went to mbk. we had dinner at this restaurant that serves yummy and cheap sharksfin and bird nest. 300 baht for a claypot of sharksfin and 100 baht for a bowl of bird nest.


our last day in bangkok. after breakfast, we went to chatuchak. oh! i forgot to mention the breakfast they serve at the hotel is pretty yummy. lots of choice too. back to chatuchak, that place is definitely like what they say, very warm. a must to have - lotsa water. not to mention their alley are like damn narrow. there were like 20+ sections and thousands of stalls. their sections are not organised, they are like all over so we just try to cover whatever we can. by 3pm, my legs were like breaking and my feet were sore from walking. we left the place at 4+pm.

we headed to mbk again, for some last minute shopping. then, we rushed back to the hotel. we got changed before going to the restaurant for our poolside dinner. we were given a menu, which we are allowed to order 2 servings of the main course. besides that, there are free flow of soup, salad, fruits and ice cream in the restaurant. just look at the pictures below. it says all.

after dinner, we went to the sky bar at the 64th level. the second tallest building in bangkok. the view was simply awesome. but the sky bar was kinda over-crowded and the drinks taste bad. too much of liquor, overpower the taste of the cocktail.
