BangKok - Day 1

Caught a cold the day before catching the plane so well, I was still sneezing
and coughing in the plane.. The chinese(Singaporean Uncle) sitting beside me
gave me a disgusted look when I coughed and immediately put on a mask.
Damn, I think he must be thinking that I'm a H1N1 carrier! Anyway he was boasting to the ladies that he frequent BangKok once a MONTH! When asked whether its cos of work commitment, he said he's retired and he goes there once a month cos of his love for Thai food.
Thai Food? Hmm.. Looking at him, I can already imagine him
checking into a hotel with 2 underage Thai boys. :)

Ok.. Anyway the 1st day in Bangkok was pretty idle..
Checked into Holiday Inn and I'm pretty impressive with the hotel.. Room is pretty big and there's SPORTS channel!!! Finally can catch some 'live' EPL games..
Anyway we spend the day shopping ard our hotel area
maining Gayson Plaza, Chitlom Central, Central world etc..
(Des sneezing in the home - Did i infect him? Oops)
(Gayson Plaza)
(Thats me!! Berms too loose till I gotta borrow a belt from Des)

Bangkok - Day 2

Woke up at 8am BK time and chiong all the way to Mo Chit Station to Chatuchak Market!
Yup, this is a must come market and basically everything can be purchased here at a great price(and great bargain)!! Loved some of the street food that we have here and the Phad Thai is GOOD!! and it cost like S$1.50 per plate. Cheap Cheap!
Broke my record this time round as we shopped here for 6 long hours!!!
Yup, went back to the hotel to offload our purchase
, took a 30 mins rest before we hire a cab to H1 building to
supposedly check out some designer stuff. But end up nothing much was available thus we just explore the area, walked a lot and hang out at this Greyhound Cafe... Food was much cheaper than I had expected. Cool! :)
I love the cafe and dining atmosphere in BangKok.. Singapore gotta learn!
