| BKK TRIP!! |
For this trip we chose BUDACCO hotel as our daily accommodation choice! This is a new hotel located near baiyoke sky hotel, located inside an alley but fear not as the alley is protected by the 24hours security guard..>.< okie now about this hotel, something special/unique about it will be its color themes namely blue/pink/yellow there is nothing different about the color themes! Just the architecture of the rooms will be slightly different! And the room are design such that the tourist will feel at home. Disadvantage about this hotel, the room are smaller since you are paying for what u receive, lack of creative ideas for creating more space in small area! Example sliding door cupboard instead of the ordinary/normal open door style! I got injured due to that=\!!! But other than that everything was AWESOME POSESUM!=]

DAY 1!!! ~~~~
When we arrived at the airport, brought our Thailand SIM card and then travel to the hotel with our prebooked airport transfer through the airport! However, we wasn't really sure about the new airport that we were assigned for arrival so our airport transfer CAR appear to be too BIG! It's the kind of transport you see Korean stars in! So we enjoyed a day of luxury as Korean stars!!=] haha! This car that we booked can seat 14 people and cost $128 in total for through and fro!=] if you want a cheaper option you can actually booked through the hotel, which cost around 700 baht for a single trip(4seater car)** or just called for a cab around the roadside=].
After we checked in we proceed to have our dinner/supper at a roadside stir fry stall near the hotel area !=] this food are amazing awesome and cheap as well! And we end the night by shopping around the hotel area at some roadside stall near pratunam!
Day 2!!!~=]
As known to many!! Thailand local bag brand NARAYA has a shop located at central world mall! And we brought lots of stuff there! You must visit NARAYA to purchase for their local brand bag!!
Right after that we proceed back to platinum mall for further shopping, platinum mall is a wholesale mall that sells product such as clothes,shoes,accessories and etc!
And union mall is the next on the track! UNION MALL is a new mall located phahon yothin station! Refer to the bts map as attached for more information! Union mall is like a air conditioned pratunam market style! However, not all the price there are by wholesales price and some doesn't allow you to slash the price so do not try too hard to slash the price if they already give you the NONO signal=]
We had out dinner at Chinatown! We took a cab from union mall there , which cost us around 150-200baht! The stir fry cook there are well known to be AWESOME! You can easily locate the store as its only one of the few there with a crowd waiting to be served!=] SHARKFIN AND BIRD NEST are easily located all around Chinatown so if you like them so should get them as its really cheap there and they are really good!!! That's all for day 2!!
DAY 3!!~~~
SHOPPING AROUND PRATUNAM MARKET!!! Where is that?? Pratunam market is located just opposite of platinum mall! Directly below baiyoke suite hotel!! NOTE TO ALL!! If you want really good bargain you have to seek through all the hidden alley! There are a lot more stalls in the alley that sells lot of cheap products=] and the place goes along with WHOLESALE PRICES so if you want to enjoy shopping at cheaper rate you got to buy a minimum of at least 3 pieces! Or you may try bargaining with the owner to get the price by just getting 2 pieces! However it doesn't work all the time=]**
we had our lunch aka BUFFET at MBK mk restaurant! They sell their food in ala carte style! So you get all the ala carte you want for your steamboat and eat them! They have a relatively nice soup base!=] and the ala carte range from around 130-350baht each! The duck ala carte dish is a MUST TRY!=]
Lastly, we went to ASIATIQUE by cab which cost around 180baht from MBK! It's a new recommended spot recommended by magazines for tourist! There is a Ferris wheel there that cost around 220-250 baht Per person! You can enjoyed amazing scenery view of Asiatique from the ride! Each ticket entitled you to 3 cycle of the Ferris wheel! Clothes and other products there cost slightly more than the night markets! There is also a NARAYA there in case you want to get more stuffs!
DAY 4!!~~~~
It's CHATUCHAK CHATUCHAK DAY!!!
CHATUCHAK it's a market that sells various products from pottery to souvenirs to clothes to shoes and a lot more! They have a lot of roadside stalls selling their local product and you definitely got to try them!! I personally recommend their chocolate banana! It's frozen and coated with a thin layer of chocolate with one topping of your choice! Which is perfect for the hot weather in Thailand! And if you would like you can get yourself a A4 size portrait sketch of yourself in CARTOON STYLE for just 100 baht per person!!! Do try their mango sticky rice too! And BBQ sticks! You can't say you been to Thailand if you never try them before!!^^
We had our dinner in the hotel by ordering room service! I can assure you! The food are good and the price are affordable as well! We got ourselves Phad Thai for just 150 baht which is a OK price for a hotel room service =]
Then we walked from our hotel to BIG C SUPER MARKET!! It's located directly opposite central world mall!! IT'S a SUPER big market around the same size a GIANT IN JURONG EAST SG however it has 2 levels instead!=] At night they have mini stalls just outside central world plaza! Do not underestimate all this mini stalls there is lots of stuff to shop there too=] iand if you are lucky, you can spot yourselves some game stalls for leisure purpose! Each try cost you 20baht, if you are good with spotting bullseye then you definitely must play them! Because you can get yourselves a plush by just 20 baht and my friend got themselves 3!! So it's proven to be possible!!=]
Hotel sweet hotel after that since its already 2am!!
DAY 5!!~~~
