Bkk July 2010: Day 4

Day4: BKK July 2010


Hey guys! I'm back from my short beach vacation to Phuket, it was AWESOME.
I'm really really tanned and luckily only my lips was sunburnt
(more about this in my phuket travelogue that's coming up soon)

Super fun trip, i was just sorting out my phuket photos for blogging
when i realized my BKK July 2010 day 4 has not been posted up!
I've already added the post links for first few days of the trip to bkk on the
left side-bar under "My Travel Logs!"

Ahhh, forgive me for being so forgetful.





This was the last day of my bkk trip, and as usual i love to book
the latest flight available so we can enjoy the whole of our last day in bkk.

Went to baiyoke garment centre, which is just beside Baiyoke Sky Towers,
on the fourth level there's this restaurant. It's pretty conspicuous,
with a pool table right smack in the restaurant.





They serve the BEST thai cuisine. Noms.

I know everyone tells me the street food is really the best,
but.. ahh i just can't get over how unhygienic it could get especially
on the streets in bkk there's so much dust and dirt all over..

If i don't feel comfortable, it's just impossible for me to eat in peace.








Some of our must-order items:



Phad Thai




Stir-fried pork & veg with basil leaves.





Tom yum goong, their tom yum goong is really delicious,
it's not the clear soup type, but the milky, thicker type.
It's just perfectly in the middle, slighty spicy but not over the top!



And since we were at pratunam area, we dropped by the spa we visited during our last trip to bkk, it's actually located at Citin Pratunam hotel, stayed there during our December 2009 trip.












We both wanted the aroma oil massage, the last time we came here
i did the lavender oil massage and fell asleep, it was SOOO good.
This time i tried the Jasmine oil!






After the massage we took a cab back to our hotel in Suhkumvit,
and we past by the SAE in bkk, Boyf took his Audio engineering diploma in SAE Singapore!





And out of the sudden the cab the slowed down in the middle of nowhere,
like seriously in the middle of NOWHERE.


And the driver started cursing and shouting "LOW ON LPG LOW ON LPG!!!"
Being a girl who doesn't drive, i was totally oblivious about what's going on,
then boyf explained to me that the cab was out of gas?

WTF? only in bkk such random sway things could happen!
Hahahaha, so we got out of the cab and waited for quite some time for another cab.





Left our luggage at the hotel after we checked out that afternoon,
bought this super cute hot-pink-polka-dot luggage from baiyoke garment centre!





It's small enough as a hand-carry lugggage, so i used it for my phuket trip! (:
Oh yes and i bargained with the shop owner to sell me at 450baht
which converts to like, 20-25bucks?! Mad awesome buy!



Totally recommend the hotel we stayed for that 4 days, Grand Inn hotel,
you can go to my bkk july trip day 1 to check out the pics of the room.

It's essentially a tiny 3 stars hotel, but with modern decor and GREAT service
and most importantly free wi-fi (I still wanna stay connected with you guys even when i'm overseas)! Will definitely go back there if i'm going back to bkk.



Booked a cab thru our hotel and look at this cab!!!



..the roof is covered with currencies of many different countries!
We were super entertained by them throughout our journey to the airport.






Btw, if you're wondering.. it cost 300baht from suhkumvit area to the airport



Got my new luggage wrapped cos i had some glass and fragile stuff in it!









Our last meal in bkk, phad thai + mango sticky rice!



Lol, saw something funny on the plane:




WTF?
