EpicBkk Day #1
EpicBkk Day #1
Finally got around to blog about my 2011 New Year countdown trip to BKK,
It was SO fun to hang out with Jacelyn (my roomie), Nadnut, Ccb, Victor, Mus, Jayden & Fahbian!
Like totally EPICBKK BABY!
From now on I'm gonna spend all my new year countdown overseas,
no more nua-ing at home and doing nothing. lol
Jacelyn & I flew over to bkk 2 days later than the rest, only went for 4D3N trip
but i think it's pretty enough, honestly 4 days of crazy shopping is ENOUGH for me.
Our flight is at 7-8am, meaning we have to reach the airport inhumanely early,
It seems like I'm always torturing myself by booking the earliest flight..
you know how sleeping like 3 hours is always more tiring than not sleeping at all,
so i tried to stay awake the whole night, i was lying in bed
and accidentally.. fell asleep, despite already setting 3 alarms,
I totally OVERSLEPT.
I'll be so screwed and missed the flight if my precious Jacelyn haven't called
and wake me up! Lol so overslept (just a little) too. Wtf
Shock of our lives even before we start our holiday, niceeeee..
Morning, Tiger.
We were staying at I Residence, Silom for this trip.
http://silom.iresidencehotel.com/
It's a small 4* hotel really near the Chong Nansi BTS, 7-11, Macdonalds,
several foodie place. Pretty accessible and all.
It was really inexpensive, i think for 3 nights Jacelyn and I paid $100 each.
Ohaiyo!
We look super blah cos we FLEW out of our houses because we were both late. :x
Our comfy twin delux room for the next 3 days,
...see my tatty bear getting comfy already!
Spotless toilet!
Lol look what we found sitting just beside the hotel snacks!
Actually both of us didn't see this until the guys mentioned it.
they told us they were discussing about how we two girls are gonna be using this..
this we're errrr.. both girls.
Wtf dirrrrrrrrrrty! lol
Anyway, went to meet up with the rest after settling down our luggage, comb thru our hair abit to appear less craaaaazy.
Took the BTS to Siam, omfg look at this:
It's the queue for Krispy Creme. WTF?!
Anyway it was during the new year period so the Christmas/NY's decor was still up, really pretty! So Alice in the Wonderland. Alice was in Thailand?!
Lol, from the biggest head to the smallest:
Victor, Fidelis, Mus, Nad, Fahbian, Jayden, Jacelyn who took the photo, ccb who prolly went MIA for awhile.
Thanks Mus darling for snapping a pic of my flaming red hair! :P
The boys were busy taking photos of the TIGER beer New Year Countdown decor, which i thought was pretty cool, but wasn't interested enough to go snap some pic-xys. :x
Woots Our first shopping stop! Platinum mall
Shopped like crazy man, whacked 2 pairs of heels at the first level we went to.
Bought tops, bottoms, accessories (lots of pretty and oh-so cheap earrings and all - gonna buy more on my next bkk trip which is in May!)
Saw TheBlogShop's sister brand at Platinum mall too!
Lots of colourful pretty pieces that i'm wishing TBS will bring to Singapore.
Anyway, we shopped so much Jacelyn bought a HUGE pink luggage to hold all of our shopping buys,
and I'm super bui pai seh cos i stuffed all my buys in also! Hahahaha
Jayden brought us to a char siew noodle stall nearby platinum mall for er..
lunch which was like arnd 4pm. lol
So happy we went there cos on our way back to Platinum mall (for MORE shopping)
we all found this roadside stall selling bags that we saw at Platinum Mall
selling at around 400baht?
We got it at freaking 199baht.
Woots! It's like $8-9? Totally regretted only buying one,
turns out it's pretty hardy and now i bring it to work almost every single day. Bah.
Anyway, before we reached bkk the rest tried squeezing into a TUK TUK for dunno what reason, lol 6 people in a tuk tuk ok, the bkk kinda tuk tuk, not the phuket kinda longer-bigger-ish tuk tuks.
Madness! Anyway, instead of squeezing into tuk tuks, we experienced 6 people in the cab, plus a big fat pink luggage which we named Fat Bitch cos we couldn't stuff her in the boot no matter what. lol
So 6 of us plus Fat Bitch shared a cab back to Silom, to drop our shopping buys and headed out to Chinatown for some Seafood!
Outside TK Seafood @ chinatown.
Taken with Jayden's film camera!
Anyway i was really excited about trying out the seafood because
i've always read on Tripadvisor BKK forums that the seafood is SO good and SO fresh and just 200% mad awesome.
...and yes, i'm yet another bkk traveller who is gonna say IT'S.IS.SO.DAMN.YUMMY.FRESH.CHEAP.MAD.AWESOME!!!!!!!!
hooked to their oysters man.
Freaking pot of Sharkfin soup is like $15 per pot
And SO SO SO fresh oysters at 35baht = $1.5 SGD each?
It's much FRESHER as compared as the lousy oysters at The Line Buffet@Shangri-La!!!
Step-By-Step Thai-Style Oysters!!!
Break and sprinkle the veggie thing and super yummy fried onion and lime..
And SLUUUUURPS, pop that thing into your mouth and nom nom noms
... and eat another dozen of these.
Went for the shiokest foot massage only 200baht!
after walking around chinatown while rubbing our exploding satisfied tummy,
bought the local delights like "dog shit" you know the very compact pork floss delicious things?!
Yes they're called DOG SHIT! LOL such a turn off name but still so yummy!!!
After the foot massage, went back to the hotel to rest for the day~
