I’m finally starting on my BKK post… aft collaging the photos for so long haha
(BEWARE: Massive Blog ahead. May require long loading (and reading) time. Pls go for toilet break 1st)
Day 0:
Yeah man! I was exhilerated coz I JUST completed my very last paper and had to rush home to pack.
Surprisingly, I was able to do it within the time limit set by Dar
But Me and Dar been having tummy upsets for quite some time so we decided to visit the doc as we dun wan to let bad tummy spoil our BKK makan frenzy!!
We had to add 2 huge packets of medication to our lugguage
Aft lunch, medication, we went home to collect his lugguage and his mum sent us to the airport..
We tot we were late lah…

But we were the 1st…
While waiting to board the plane, this was wad happened:

Now u noe how Bridge-Siao these ppl are -_-

The cam-whoring was alot more serious den wad is shown here, just so happen that I only have the pix in my cam… (Lily juz passed us TWO CD worth of photos *faint*)
And aft a seemingly LONG wait, we’re finally on board!

Yeah!!
COMPLAINT TIME:
ok.. I’ve never taken budget air b4. But I did hear that Tiger is NOT the best bidget air plane u can get…
I can’t stand the seats for the mere 2 hrs I had on it. I won’t even want to watch a movie in it :(
Lucky it was only 2 hrs. urghhh.
(And they actually TRIED to play Bridge on board. ermmmm… Din work out. haha)
And finallyyyy….Aft 2 hrs, TOUCH DOWN!!

(Isaac is ALWAYS camera-ready. CAM-WHORE!)
B4 we even think abt wad we want to do, or how to get to the hostel, a guy approached us.
And told us that they provide mini-van svs from the airport.
And ALL 11 of us SQUEEZED inside..
(cost abt 1500Bhat or 1600Bhat I think)

This time, it felt so diff from the last time I went to BKK. Maybe coz now I noe wad to expect of this plc and I have this bunch of crazy peeps w me
It was exciting~!
And aft a wobbling 45 mins, we arrived at the hostel (prepared for the worst)…

But it turned out wayyyy beyond our expectations
It’s clean, safe, and very convinient!
Here’s our roomy roomy~

Quite big for 2 ppl, although it wasn’t luxuriously furnished, and w a few things missing =\ but it’s pretty clean & comfy.
Aft unpacking, we din hesitate any further…
Khaosan, here we come~~!

we had our 1st meal in BKK at Khaosan. roadside phad thai and BBQ skewers.
Nth far from CHEAP & GOOD
(and Lynn was holding on to a HUGE bott of vitagen that costs like… S$1.60??)

And b4 the girls even started looking at their stuff… The GUYS have alrdy embarked on their shopping spree.
(that night, they returned w ard 6 tees each)
I love that plc, din have nuf time to COMB thru, but I love it well enuf
They close ard 2am i think.
I think we were pretty dead beat so we din have any bonding sess that night. Everyone concussed shortly aft… But I guess we needed that, coz the nxt day, is when the real war begins….
Day 1:
Me and Dar woke up to our packets of medications b4 breakie…

DId u noe…. we paid like ard S$20 per nite and we even got breakfast… and it’s not roadside breakfast… It’s American Breakfast in a cafe… (not buffet though)

And the cafe has very few ppl in the morng, so it was like WE owned the plc… hahaha
Ok. done w breakie, now… for… SHOPPING!
We wanted to have lunch at Biyoke Sky Htl, so we went shopping ard Pratuman area…
Only managed to get polo tees…
Finally at Lunch time, we met up at Biyoke Sky for Fruits Buffet (u heard me rite…)

The view there on the 18th is like really really gorgeous lahh…..

Fruit Buffet!

For abt S$6, u get to eat-all-u-want…
They have a huge variety and all u have to do is grab wad u wan, put in a basket, and hand it over to the waitresses and they’ll help u to “process” (they even peel the mangosteen 4 u…)
And guess wad man…. we even had DURIANS!

The flesh is SUPER think…. but not much taste
WASTED!!!
I dunno y we were so keen on being healthy dat day..
But aft that, the guys actually got a bucket of balls and started playing golf…

Oh.. it ws quite fun(ny)…..heheh.
And finally…

And we proceeded to PLATINUM!
(like FINALLY lah…)
And in the course of shopping… I finally unstd the true meaning of PP…
haiz….
Carol, Lily, Lynn and Me combed thru the ENTIRE 3rd flr and abit of 2nd flr and we had to tk a break… It was overwhelming…
So we popped by to Swensen’s and met the guys there

I think it was merely wad? 2 hrs? And we’re all pretty happily loaded (not w money, w shopping bags)

Those big bowls of sundaes, filled to the brim w lovely delights, from swensen’s, costs only S$3.30…
We noe we cnt finish, but we still still ordered one each.. haha
(and the guys actually shared a fondue…how swt…)
we cont 4 a lil while and headed for dinner in the evening (and the guys went to get their suit done)

Not a cheap meal, but it’s not too bad, love the tomyum soup
Aft dinner, we went to Hard Rock to visit Carol’s Uncle and he intro us to a gd massage plc just rnd the corner…

The girls and Isaac had Leg Massage and the other guys, w Lynn, had Thai massage…
hmm… haha it was super shiok 4 us… coz we had an entire room to ourselves, we talk across the seats and even choose wad # we wanna watch.. hah!
And the massage was GR8.
Aft dropping our loots, we were off again to clubbing on a Fri nite~~
(aft a leg massage??)

ok… the plc is not Route 69, but Route 66… haha
I think we had vodka lime? the dispenser was super pretty… I think JM was so tempted to bring it home.. haha (btw it glows!)

The music was gr8, so was the DJ, (and NO cover charge), but I think most of us were bit seh by then to truly enjoy ourselves or to even club hop…
we partied till closing time (which is actually quite early, at 2am…)
The nxt day is a Sat. Which means it’s a weekend. which means it’s dedicated to Chatuchak!!
Day 2:

And the guys show-off their Khaosan kills… The Singlets!
Anw that’s the area outside our breakfast cafe. It’s quite nice

Chatuchak~~~

Argh!! Look at the awesomely cute pups!!
oh man… I really wan to bring them home……
Ok. back to shopping.

The gurls actually arrived EARLIER than the guys at the waiting pt -_- Lucky they bought the legendary strawberry freeze in repentance (actually not lah, they just wanted to drink…)

11 hungry souls chiong-ed to MBK for lunch.
We tot the fried thingy here is Zhu You Zha, so me, dar, ernest and lynn were super excited.
BUT. it was fried pork skin and there was no YOU in it at all
Bahhhh
Aft a hearty meal, we went on insearch of a facial parlour for the guys, and a nail plc for the girls.

And off they went.. the 4 (er-herm) guys… to their facial…

Aft dng our nails, we bought Dunkin as we wait to mt up w the guys :)

And like so fast… it was dinner time again…

mmm… I 4got whr was dis.. it’s a shopping centre.. and they have this really atas “food court” (sld I even call it a food court?) ok.. it was more like Marche… they had the card thing gng on..
Aft that, we went to the 4-faced Buddha.
And off to China town to buy some tidbits

And look wad we have there…….
Shark’s fin, Fish maw and Bird’s nest…
At this restaurant called Tian Wai Tian. Very nice, very cheap…
S$15 for a pot? Or was it S$7? I 4got.. haha
haha..
Oh but the Bird’s nest not v nice… not those strand kind… more like bits…

And then we went for leg massage AGAIN…

Haiz…
That night… we finally had a decent bonding session…
We played Polar Bear in Sydney and carol’s room till close to 5am in the morng…
YAWNS!!
Try playing w them and u’ll noe how streneous it is…
Last Day:
Sobz… good times fly man…
We were so tired I think none of us actually went down to have breakie…
Most of us decided to go back to Platinum for Lunch and one finally sprint…

we got a 7-seater to fetch us there and it worked out to be cheaper den our usual by-meter fare!
So we got them to come by later to send us to the airport, which is also cheaper than the squeezy van.
Finally….
It’s time to go home…

We said by to our cosy roommyyy
and everyone gathered at Syd and Carol’s room again for Polar Bear (again.)

We played till the last min and left for the airport…

We had our last ride in BKK and here’s dar at the back seat.. damn shiok can..
He started sitting up…. den the nxt moment I turned ard he was fast aslp -_-
This 45-min is unlike the previous one.
It has a tinge of sadness, tiredness and reluctance, no longer the excitement…
But still happy n contented


Heyheyhey… we din over-load… Not even close -_-

At the airport aft check-in, we pooled in the last bit of money we have left to have a good meal tgt…

And everyone stared at the menu in search of sth within 150Bhat…
And while we wait to board the plane…
Our FINAL polarbear…

And finally…
Home sweet home…

(The lock on JM’s bag, has the key in it ALL THE WHILE, since he checked in at BKK -_-)
Here’s credits to the impt, hardworking ppl during the trip:

And that… marks the end of our amazing BKK trip
