Day 1
I woke up at 5am. I just slept for 3 hours because Lai Kwan, Lai Ming and I pack our luggage meanwhile talk non stop till around 2am. The air-port cab arrives at 5.45am and we’re all ready to fly. Baby wanted to follow!!
Lai Ming and I at KLIA
Daddy and Ma.
The Low sisters.
We touch down at Bangkok by more or less 9am Bangkok time (1 hour later than Malaysia’s). I’m supposed to share room with Sharon, daughter of uncle Yap. She’s very nice, out going, friendly and pretty. And she’s 20something. Than, I throw trontum because it’s such a big trouble to share room with a stranger. We, 3 sisters, share a luggage. Worst when Sharon’s room at the 9th floor while Lai Kwan’s room at the 4th floor. Can you imagine, I’m having my shower than I realize I forgot to bring my pants to Sharon’s bathroom, than I have to use a towel and walk all the way back to Lai Kwan’s room to get my pants? We had already told our parents that we don’t mind squeezing but we just don’t wants to stay in different rooms. Especially when I’m a night person, I’ll only go to bed by earliest 1am. I’m so mad in that morning and I almost sit on the lobby’s floor and kicking my legs and shouting and crying. But, I will never do that. I’m a grown up now, not a kid. Anyway, 3 of us manage to squeeze in a bedroom.
Settled everything and we went to change. Mommy wanted me to change my top. She says those friend of daddy’s is mostly ham sup old man, so it’s better for me to wear something more ‘close-up’. The moment I walked out of the hotel onto the street of Bangkok city, I was like WOW. There are so many shopping malls and a total of 5 LV shop surrounded the hotel we’re staying. Anyway, the hotel we’re staying is really central of the city, its call Arnoma Hotel.
We walk along the Sky Walk, it’s a walk way build under the LRT railway, its under the shade of the railway, so you wont get sun burn walking on the street, and it’s very very hyper long, it cover almost whole Bangkok city.
Us and the Sky Walk.
We walk to the Siam Paragon, a shopping mall where rich people spend their time there. There’s LV, Gucci, A/X, Dior, the one and only Jimmy Choo in Asia, Event Singapore does not have a Jimmy Choo and many super expensive brand. I love Siam Paragon’s food court. It’s unlike our food court. Food court there is heaven. Their place is well organized, very clean, good system and most importantly, BEST FOOD. I would call it the high class food court. Their departmental stall is unlike our Gian or Jusco. It’s so up to date. They have imported cheese from all over the world; they have a wine section for you to taste their imported wine; they even sell soup and salad of your own choice. For the soup, you can try a bow, you like it than you buy it. The soup is ready boiled type. So Lai Ming says that you can come if empty stomach and fill your stomach there for free. Yes, they gave lots of free testing. Not one small piece but a bottle of fruit juice or a bow of soup. It’s incredible. Even their Kuih there is brilliant. I’m not sure with the taste, but you will want to eat it when you look at it.
After a whole morning and afternoon of shopping, we went for foot massage. Mommy doesn’t like foot massage, so she joins auntie Po for a short shopping. This is very embarrassing but I’m willing to share. I shouted when the Thai lady washes my feet with some kind of scrub, than I continue shouting when she massages my feet. Daddy asks the lady to massage me harder. The whole massage house is only my voice!!! Gosh, that’s very embarrassing. But, it’s super nice and relaxing. I can walk another mall again!!
Day 2
We went to pray at this famous ‘
four face Buddha’ temple.
Then we went to
Chatucak for more shopping.
Chatucak is a market-like type of place. It’s very stuffy and no air conditional.
Lai Kwan gets sun burn due to over expose to the sun. I’m fine with the sun because I love sun!!
Chatucak is fun!! We took LRT from our hotel to
Chatucak and it takes us about 10-20 minutes. And we started our shopping from 1 something. The first thing we bought is SHOE!!! Flat shoe. Surprise huh.
Lai Yin and her flat shoe.
Mommy, Lai Kwan, Lai Ming and I each bought 1. Than we move on with more purchase. Okay, we spent thousand in
Chatucak, but each of us only have a pair of flat and a cute shirt. Others are doggy stuff. It’s so fun when you saw the whole row of shops selling all kind of dogs and doggy stuff. They even sell squirrels and cloths for it. We’re shock to see it. Anyway, we really do have lots of fun. After
Chatucak, we went for massage again. This time is full body oil massage. This is my first time experience. And guess what, I did not scream this time. YEA MAN!!!
We're trying on our new shoes!! Lai Kwan, me and half Lai Ming. And an umbrella pole. us and the chatucak ice cream. Lai Kwan Lai Ming and I. And our bags of purchase. 3 monkey trying on weird thingsDay 3
We rent a van and went for city tour. This driver plus tour guide, Mr Good Man, bring us to this authentic floating Thai restaurant. It’s actually a boat on this very dirty river. But the food is really nice. Unlike KL’s Thai food, it had the herbs that Malaysian cook doesn’t use. It only cost us RM300+ for 14 of us. Cheap huh.
Uncle Yap loves doing that when daddy laught at him.
Us at the floating river side restaurant. After lunch,
Mr Good Man drives us to every single tourist hot spot. That is, temple. We visited so many temples in one day. And that’s
Bangkok’s hot spot other than shopping and food. After all the visiting done, we went to
China town for dinner and its approximate 7pm already. After dinner, guess what, foot massage!!! Hohohohooh… I fall in love with massage. Gosh, it’s like living in the heaven. However, the after math of having too much walking and massage, I hurt my injured knee I mention last few post AGAIN. And I have an ugly bandage on my right knee. Good thing leaving
Bangkok the next day.
Day 4 We went to the ‘four face Buddha’ again. Lai Kwan, Lai Ming and I facing big time this year, so we have to do more praying and hoping for blessing from the god. After that, we went Siam Paragon again. But, malls in Bangkok city only start operating their business by 10.30am. We reached there by 10am, so we have to wait another 30minutes. During this 30minutes free time, we went to the Under Water World of Bangkok at the lower ground of Siam Paragon. We took all kind of weird pictures to kill time.
My sister and her frog.
Not that I doesn't want to take more pictures, but the camera is totally out of space. full of my funny sister's pictures!!!
Reason for us to be so eager waiting at Siam Paragon? Their food!! After this meal, we’ll be going back to our hotel and start packing and back to KL. I spend the whole day walking around with my bandage and there’s few time I nearly fell. Worst when I’m wearing a short skirt. I prefer travel with skirt. Reach home by 8pm and Kenny told me that his parent’s went Bangkok as well, and they just reached home as well!!! So, if Kenny follows them, I might meet him!!! *realize my post is getting shorter? because I’m getting lazier.*
she gets all kind of weird idea when ever she's bored. Baby loves her bed too. she have so many pairs of shoe and bags!!! yuki loves her bed, her shirt, her shoe and her junk food. she really looks like a chimpanzee.
Love,
Nichole @ Lai Yin
