♥ It's my world

Bangkok Trip, Day 1:

22.04.2010

Arrived @ Singapore Changi Airport @ 5.10am with Baby :)

*p.s The shoulder carry bag is the only belongings I brought along! LOL.

Making last min decision on which Hotel to stay at as Bangkok was in chaos then due to the
political conflicts between Thai Government and The Red Shirts. This trip is actually a worrying one
but we still decided to go ahead with our plans.

Talking to Baby's mum before we left for our flight @ 7.10am

Finally board the plane and it's time to take a short nap! ^^

*p.s I didn't sleep at all the night before as I'm busy packing my beauty products into small bottles! LOL

We finally reach Suvarnabhumi Airport after 2 hours! *excited*
Bangkok here we come! ~

Bangkok's cab is so colorful ~ !!!
Definitely brighten out my holiday mood to the max! :DDD

On the way to our Hotel ; Pietra

After a long struggle, we finally found the Hotel as it is a newly built Hotel, not many locals
knows about it's location and our cab driver drop us at the opposite road leaving us to
find our own way under the vicious hot sun of 40 degree Celsius for nearly an hour! *faint*

Anyway, we manage to survive under the burning hot sun and made it to our Hotel ; Pietra.
While waiting for our room to be ready, Baby & I went up to the 7th floor of the Hotel and we
had our lunch there.

The yummylicious fried rice with a sunny side that Baby ordered :)
*p.s It is really very delicious!

And here's my spag with bacon and dry chili . . . *must try*
It is so delicious that I almost order another plate! Kinda miss this spag now! awwww . . . . and my caramel drink with generous whipped cream on top!

After our sumptuous lunch, we check-in to our room on the 5th floor. When the Hotel staff show us in, I was like . . . .'' OMG!". The room is so nicely decorated with warm, dim lights and the bed is a King size one! With comfortable cushion sofa, soft carpet and a fridge filled with all kinds of soft drinks! There are chips at the side of the LCD television too and fyi, it does not come free! The in-room refreshment slips is place just next to it with pricing on it =.=''

Shortly after we check-in our room, someone knocked on our door! It is the Hotel room service :) Serving us two complimentary welcome drink! Which is actually some kind of nice cocktail.
How sweet their service are ya! *Impressed*

And here's a close up of the Hotel's toiletries. Although it is a very common sight to see Hotel providing toiletries to their customer but have you ever seen sewing kit being included? *CUTE!* LOL . . . I completely forgot to bring that sweet little things back home as souvenir! *Damn it!*

So upon check-in, what's next? It's rest time! Or to be exact, it should be sleeping time as Baby is having a little fever before we left Singapore hence after our lunch he took his medicine and went to sleep, I too took the chance to restore my beauty sleep ^^ hoho . . . what a nice thing to do on the 1st day of holiday ya? LOL!

We were then waken by Baby's mum call and notice that it is already Singapore Time ; 10pm plus! Baby & I then jump outta our King size bed and head out for our late dinner! Am glad to find a Thailand seafood restaurant located outside near our Hotel for about 10mins walk thanks to the information provide by the Hotel staff :)

Our smoothing chrysanthemum tea . . .

And this is my weird tasting stir fried chicken with potatoes that looks like frog meat instead to me.
The chef took almost an hour to cook this dish before it is ready to be serve to me. =.=''

And this is Baby's noodles which taste exactly just like 'Hor Fan' just that it is in thick square shape!
Yes, in SQUARE shape! Very interesting & taste good too!

After our dinner, Baby and I roam around the streets aimlessly hoping to find a convenient store like 7-11 to get some shampoo and tidbits but to our surprise we found a night market instead which is located some 35mins away from our Hotel! The night market is very long and they mainly sell woman's apparels, shoes, accessory, some local food, man's wear and some very obvious counterfeit goods. It is only till the very next few days then we found out that it is actually the somewhat famous
"Huai Kwang Night Market" aka "Huay Kwang Night Market".

I do not know why there are so many people calling it "Huay Kwang" when the nearest MRT to it is actually spell as "Huai Kwang" and the Thai people pronouns it as "Hui Kwang" =.='' anyway Baby
and I learnt one thing at Bangkok which is stuffs at the Night Market is not always cheaper then those at the shopping mall as I realise that for most of the same items found at most Night Market is always much more expensive then those at shopping mall! And it is best to shop for items with price stated because when you open your mouth and speak any language apart from Thai it represent that you are a very potential "chai tou" ready for them to chop! I've already encounter a few times and it really piss me off to shop at Market! :(

Still, I did manage to buy some choi and expensive hair accessory back from Huai Kwang Night Market but the pix has been delete away by Baby accidentally! *arrrggghhhh*
So here's the victory we got from our Day 1 at . . . Changi Airport =.=''

Baby's cute duty free Marlboro in jumbo size and my new Chanel compact foundation ^^

Bangkok Trip, Day 2 :)
23.04.2010

Every morning, Baby and I will have a very filling breakfast @ the Hotel restaurant as we need to get ready for a day SHOPPING plus I am not very use to the local food there hence it is wise to keep my stomach full before I step out of the Hotel. ^^ That's so wise of me! *hehe*

My everyday America Breakfast :)
*Baby will occasionally have porridge for his breakfast but we forgot to take a pix of it as we are too into our food! haha!

View outside our Hotel ; Pietra.
There is actually a morning market that operates only on weekdays which is just between our Hotel (about 5 mins walk away) and Sutthisan MRT Station (Just next to the MRT outside from Exit 3).

And here we are at the famous Chatuchak weekend market :)
Most of the shops are closed as it is a Friday, Baby & I just came to check on the route so that we'll have a easier time finding our way when we come on the weekends! Am glad that a shoes shop is open on that day as you can see that the straps on one of my wedges came off and I need to replace it straight away. Am glad that I manage to get myself a very nice pair of slippers with rows of diamond encrusted to the strap! *Damn pretty* I replaced my preloved ninja wedges straight away tho I'm a bit upset to throw my beloved wedges away.

After a stroll in the market Baby and I went to the nearby Jatujak Mall for some shopping before we proceed to our next destination . . . . . . which is "Central Plaza @ Lat Phrao"!

Do not be taken in by the shopping mall name~ !! Tho it state the words "Lat Phrao", the mall is actually located near to "Phahon Yothin" station instead which is just one stop away from "Lat Phrao" station! Baby & I alighted at the wrong station and needs to pay for the fare again as we were told by the mrt staff that it's impossible for us to walk to the shopping mall from Lat Phrao station. *Hmmm*

Anyway we still manage to make it to the mall by taking the train again of course and opposite of "Central Plaza @ Lat Phrao" is Union mall which is a fantastic place to shop at with almost every thing going way much cheaper than those selling at the night market and even chatuchak. I bought quite a lot of apparels there and it is a place I highly recommend for shopping and at the basement of Union mall there are two foodcourt, a great place to rest your feet and reward yourself a drink.

Lunch for that day is our all-time-favourite, K.F.C!
In Thailand, they use real glasses for their drinks and ceramic plates for the food and the utensils used are metal folks and knife so can you imagine how stress it can be to balance yourself while holding the tray and try to squeeze your way out to your table? *Faint* Am glad that Baby is the one who brought the food to our table!

*Thanks Baby!*

And our dinner is A&W!
LOL. I kinda miss the food from A&W since the last time I have it was when I'm still studying primary school? Can't really remember it as the fast food withdraw all it's store from Singapore many many years ago but my deepest impression of A&W is their onion rings! It is my top favourite sides apart from french fries and till date, no fast food made the best onion rings like the A&W ones!

*At least to me*

*Fellow Singaporean, by any chance you manage to find an A&W store overseas do try their pancake with ice-cream in chocolate cream! It is really awesome!*

Lastly, these are part of my loot from Bangkok that day :

The most worth buying is this pair of Diamond encrusted slippers from Chatuchak at a mere price of 199 baht only ~ !!! *madness*

And these 3 pairs of shoes are from Union mall.
Price range from 399 baht, 499 baht, 299 baht

*Union mall shoes are more expensive than any other place but definitely more stunning & unique.*
*p.s 2nd pair of shoes are actually encrusted with Black diamonds and sew on frills! Really worth buying!*

Two T-Shirts from Union mall, self design by the locals there made up with good cotton material and a metal studded tank tops from Chatuchak.

Three pretty Blazers I got from "Central Plaza @ Lat Phrao" for work.

And this two skirts which I plan to sell the left one away (the peach pink chiffon) as it was an impulse buy. Brand new with tag, I've not wore it before! Saw this selling at "Ohvola Blogshop" for $22 (but they don't have this sweet peach pink color). Anyone interested pls email me.

maymay_3344 (at) yahoo (dot) com

*p.s It is not sheer at all as there is a inner lining in it! Going for $22 with free normal mail in SG.*

Another good buy :
Diamond encrusted Owl earrings from "The Central @ Lat Phrao" at 290 baht. A little pricey but what to do? I've been searching high and low for pretty Owl earrings and necklaces since last year! LOL

Part of the hair accessories I bought from Chatuchak, Union mall and Central :)
All of them are handmade from good quality material. Not really cheap but worth the price.

*p.s Maymay love handmade stuff a lot. Specially pouches*

Laptop cooling pad I bought for my Brother and I ^^

And a very pretty purple hair straightener for my fringe, all from Jatujak Mall and the pocket size Bee Bee calculator are from a road side stall near Union mall which I bought last min to indicate my asking price to shops owner! It did help in some ways as there are communication break down between me and the Thais as most of them can't really speak English.

Lastly, it is these yummy snacks I got from the Jatujak Mall ~ !!
All of them taste so marvellous! Specially the Chocolate Waffle sticks and the Honey coated banana chips. Really regret not buying more of it!

*p.s I'll be completing my Bangkok Trip in my next post hence do stay tune!
