My R & R trip to Bangkok – 17th – 20th

We reached Bangkok new airport on Friday midnite. It’s still having that very ‘raw’ look. Damn bloody tired liao and the Finnair-as-old-as-in their 50’s-stewardess doesn’t really help thru the journey. And the oldest is the rudest. But ok...it’s not to me. Anyway, reached Holiday Inn Hotel around 1am plus and straight to bed. Hmm, let me see, wat did I do on sat...yeah, a decent nice buffet breakfast at the hotel. We walked to Novotel Hotel for the supposedly highly recommended tailor for shirts / pants. Fuck, reach there but still not open yet; at 10.30am. Decided not to wait anymore and proceed to Chattukchak; the weekend market. Took a train...like about 15mins. I tell you, it’s damn bloody fucking hot. It’s huge and it’s crowded...but still, I like it very much...ha-ha. I dun know why, maybe I’m tired or it’s the whether, after having 1 jug of beer there while resting, I’m a bit high. When we continue to walk around, I felt a bit floating...but somehow, I like that feeling too. Spent 6 hours there... and I think we have not really covered the whole area yet. Bought mostly cheap T-shirts and some aromatherapy thingy. Came back to Novotel for the shirts. Since not feeling so confidence about their workmanship, I just tailored 3 shirts which cost me sgd100.
I’m amaze by how fast they can deliver the 1st shirt. We’re there at 6pm plus for the ordering and measuring and they ask us to come back at 9pm plus for the fitting; impressive. If it’s right, they will deliver the rest of the shirts to our hotel the next evening. So, we went back to hotel for shower and had a super nice and expensive Japanese dinner before coming back for the fitting. Check-out the Siam Paragon for awhile and recce around that area. But, well, traveling with a bunch of decent people, landed up no wild and exciting nightlife. Yeah, start booing...it’s that boring. But, its fine ‘coz I got quite a serious headache that night too...so, it’s an early night...like 12plus, we’re asleep. On Sunday, whole day shopping around Paragon, World Trade Center (which going thru a major revamp), Siem Discovery Center & MBK. I still quite like MBK. Lots of cheap stuff. Had nice authentic thai dinner. Came back to hotel room and chill-out and drinks and gossip. Rest and relax day on Monday morning since we need to check out at 12pm and reach the airport at 1plus. It’s a raining day on Monday. Reached back Singapore around 6pm. Well, that’s about it. No major excitement, no animal show, no pubbing, no aqua show and we dun even have any clean massage.
