I remember waking up early feeling sad and blue having to leave Bangkok in a few hours time. Three days may be a short period but I realised that I have fallen in love with Bangkok. The people here are friendly ( I realised over here everybody loves babies), things and the food are cheap. Needless to say I cant bear to leave the apartment, somehow it became a cozy place for me I guessed. Bad thing though is Zann didnt sleep well these few days. She couldnt get used to the baby cot. Worse, she cant afford a proper nap in the stroller when we were out and about. She became cranky when the night came without sarong. I have to rock her to sleep in my arms, in sweat.
Zann can have the whole table by herself cos nobody is inside the children room.
Happliy playing quietly with the blocks and lego.
Yeah, finally can build up a tower with mummy's help.
Before heading to airport after checking out, we decided to 'take' on a last minute shopping over platinum mall, which is the nearest. We spent almost 4 hours combing every floor. I didnt manage to get anything except few tank tops and kiddy clothes for Zann. Hb spent the most. There were many people peddling food and wares on the pedestrain walk but at least the sight is not often seen in Singapore.
This was taken from a bridge near Platinum mall.
We got to the airport via the expressway. It was quite late. So worry couldnt make it in time. Finally after a hefty dinner, we check in at 730pm. After paying the aiport tax of 1400 baht, we were left with a few bahts.
Saw these statues. Not sure if they are gods but they really look magnificient.
I finally said goodbye to Bangkok. Will sure miss the trip.
By the time we reached home, was past midnight. Shacked.
Today I brought Zann to the children playroom for a look. Saw another caucasian boy playing by the kiddy table. Zann was excited to see another kid of her age of cos (she thought she has found a playmate), but not the boy. He walked away with a pile of wooden blocks from the table. Never did I expected he actually intent to throw the wooden blocks at my girl!, and it's one by one. I was so mad that Zann was hit for no reason. Kids may be kids but must be taught the right way mah. Wah sei, the mum saw and not a word of apology, and not telling her son off. So rude. Early morning, spolit my mood. After the buffet breakfast, Hb and I decided to go to Siam centre, Siam Discovery Centre and MBK. We made the mistake of WALKING there from Centrepoint in the hot afternoon sun. Initially we did not think it would be that far. But when we really walked over, it was really far man. Ended up having an aching feet and sweaty faces by the time we reached. Think the best way is to hail a cab.
We passed by a black canyon coffee branch in Siam Discovery centre. They served the coffee for only 50 baht which means it costs about 2 dollars per cup! In the end, we had our lunch there. And the meal (Hb, mine and Zann) cost us only 265 baht. Cheap and good. Two thumbs UP!
I hold the cookie in my hand for a while not knowing it's edible.
Now I know it's called cookie and can be eaten.
I prefer to eat this. Can I not take my lunch?
There wasn't much to buy at MBK even though it's a giant shopping complex. Bought one Anna Sui lipgloss at 70 baht. Decided to pop by my favourite shop, Propaganda which I loved their products.
After all the walking that i had done all day, my feet were extremely tired. Dinner was at Black Canyon again before we headed back the apartment at 8pm.
Day 1 @ Bangkok
It' me blogging from Bangkok! And I hardly catch any sleep before coming here. Guessed this is my long awaited break. Woke up 5am and reached the budget terminal ard 730am. And yes this is my first time taking flight from budget terminal. Not many people though but it looked like KTM railway station to me. The cabin crew wasnt that friendly. It was really a 'budget' experience...
Huh, where are you guys?
Finally can check in.
Saw this puzzle book tugged in a corner. And it cost $5. Cheap catch!
Bringing a kid along to travel could earn you a privilege. We were given to board first while the rest of the passengers were still in queue. It was a 2 hour journey and as usual, Zann couldnt keep still. Before long, she started to make noise in the plane.
Mummy trying to hold Zann down while she was struggling in the seat.
I am going to my slumberland. Wake me up when you guys have reached.
I am still so tired.
Have we reached yet?
The plane touched down at about 11am. As usual, the arrival hall at the Bangkok international airport was a mayhem. We were so hungry that we decided to settle our lunch first. Funny, most of the restaurants do not have high chair. No choice, I have to feed Zann in her stroller. We had our meal at Goodies, a Thai Chinese restaurant. The food didnt fare well. Two thumbs down for the food. Total cost was around $25.
Hands up! 'punished' for making so much noise in the plane...
Mummy, Stop playing with me. Can carry me?
The food we had at Goodies. Not much meat and the dishes were so saltish.
We reached Centrepoint Petchburi,and saw that the lobby was tiny and still having renovation, but the service was excellent. The bad thing was to pay an additional 200 singapore dollars as a “security deposit” which would be refunded when I check out on Sat and it means I would really have to watch my budget for the next 2 days.
The porter walked us right to the doorstep. The room number was okay to me and the interior looked pretty nice, anyway I wasnt too fussy with it.
Since there wasn't much time and we were so tired, decided to explore the area around the apartment. It's very near to Burger king outlet, and there are a few 7-11 around. There 's even a so-called computer city, Pantip plaza, which is supposed to be like Sim Lim square or Funan centre. Further down, is the Platinum Mall with 100 shops of fashion and others. There was a Food Court at 5th floor. We didnt manage to finish 'combing' the mall. Since it is so near, we decided to come back the next day again.
Bought this pair of shoes over Platinum mall. It cost me 99 baht = S$4 plus...
This bag was slashed frm 550 baht to 350 baht. I would prefer black but the owner did not carry the colour. Nvm then, anyway it's cheap (S$ 15). Wahaha happy sia!
