Enjoyable Bangkok Trip 23 - 26 Sep 2011

Always heard people said that must go Bangkok shopping, because you will love it. Finally, I went with my friends - Sim Ying, Wendy, Weng Wee and my dear. Some of us are first time been there. A 4 days 3 nights trip there, for me, I think it is not enough. Is better to go there 5 days 4 nights, so you have enough time to visit and shopping. 


Day 1 - We reached there at about 3pm (Bangkok local time) without any delay. The Bangkok international airport is grand and big. We walked very far to claim my luggage and get the taxi to hotel. All taxi here are come from Toyota family. We paid 700THB for the big taxi to go to our hotel. It takes around 30-45 mins to reach our hotel. Along the way to hotel, can see many huge advertisement boards, a lot of buildings and highways, really a big city. Our hotel - Baiyoke Suite Hotel (3 star), recommended by SimYing's friend and sister, is located at town, nearby few shopping mall. It is nice to stay here, as it is surrounded by morning, evening, night market and near to shopping malls. After check-in hotel, we went to walk around and visit The Platinum Fashion Mall, but unfortunately, the mall is closed at 8pm, so we went to MBK shopping mall. Supposed we plan to go watch "Ah Gua" show aka "Ladyboy show", but the price is very expensive, so we decided not to go. Actually "Ah Gua" show have no exact name, it having many name of it, depends on the organizers. Plan to go watch it in the next visit to Bangkok.


Day 2 - In planning, we wish to go visit Grand Palace, Emerald Buddha and Reclining Buddha, but end up we just visit 1 which is Grand Palace due to we kena tipu and timing. The story is like this - we reached Grand Palace very early at abt 10am, and met a local tour guide there. He told us that Grand Palace will only open at 12pm, asked us to go visit other places and recommend us having boat trip to visit those places. We really trusted him and "naik a thief boat" and paid RM75 (750) per person spending 1 hour in the boat rounding the place. The most sad part is when we entered the Grand Palace, there is a notice stated "Do not trust stranger who offering boat trip." We just knew we are being cheated. OMG!!! Just forget about it, let's talk about the Grand Palace. It is charged 400THB (RM40) for entrance fee. For those who want to visit it, please remember to wear shirt with sleeve, and long pants. If not, you are required to borrow the shirt or pant or sarung there. The Grand palace is very large, we totally used up 2 hours+ walking, seeing monuments, buildings, temples, museum inside. After visit under the hot sun, we wish to go back town shopping. Haha. We just shopping at the night market surrounded the hotel downstair for 2hours, and we bought few packs of clothes. Those clothes are cheap cheap cheap and nice, but gonna buy few pieces at a stall to get cheaper price (wholesales price). Night time, we went to visit China Town and having our dinner there. Nothing much to see there, but food. 


Day 3 - We went to Chatuchak market. It is a very busy market, open from morning till evening 5pm, if not mistaken. We having our breakfast and lunch there until 3pm. It is a place must go visit. There are many variety of stalls there - clothes, bags, souvenirs, food, drinks, decorations, and etc. Some are cheap, some are normal market price. We bought a lot a lot of things there. Sim Ying, Wendy and Weng Wee some more bought a back pack bag to keep those things they bought. Like us, we wish to shop for clothes which are cheaper at Platinum Fashion mall and evening markets compare to Chatuchak, thus, we went back to hotel and shopping around hotel. Four of us - Sim Ying, Wendy, Weng Wee and me used up few hundred in 3-4 hours shopping there. We bought a lot of t-shirts, formal clothes, short pants, shoes, bags, etc. 


Day 4 - Due to our flight time is 1205, we gonna check out early at about 9.30am. But, me and Sim Ying, we don't wish to regret, and run to have final short shopping at the morning market before check out. Finally, we really bought few packs before go back. Haha. 


We spent a lot in shopping in the trip. But, truly, the clothes there are really cheaper compare to Malaysia. No wonder, there are so many people go to Bangkok shopping every year. I can say it is worth, as estimate 1 shirt can save up to RM10-15. And the clothes here are fashion, and different, you can get what you want. This trip make me feel that I wish to go Bangkok shopping every year.. Haha..

Facial Treatment

Just finish 2 hours+ facial treatment. Last time, before I signed the package, I always think that going to do facial treatment every month is a very good relax moment for me myself. But after I signed, just realize that is not what I imagined. 

Today the beautician helped me to do a treatment called "Rolling facial treatment". A treatment that make me wanna cry. Why I say so?! After wash and clean my face, she put a mask which having anesthesia effect on my face before start the Rolling facial treatment. First time I heard this kind of facial treatment, sounds like so serious. And this made me felt worry just now. Why it called Rolling? I think is because the treatment need to use a material like roller. The beautician use the roller + the product "rolling" my face. The roller made me feel it is full of thorn like DURIAN. Lets imagine a DURIAN is rolling on your face. Think you will feel want to cry also. SOBSOB

The beautician said after this Rolling facial treatment, the big pores on my face will be "closed" or become small pores, and face will become nice nice. But, before the moment is reached, there will be red spots, and got some "fake scare" on my face, and my face will peeling these few days, may be 1 week. 

OMG. I think the facial treatment is not that good as what I imagine of. This makes me feel that I don't know to continue to be like that anymore..

Face is feeling pain now...
