I am back from BKK!!
It was a really good trip, considering the fact that the stuff there are so cheap.
Food prices are much much lower than in Singapore.
Even in places like Siam Paragon (which is similar to that of Singapore's Paragon)
Before the flight, I got myself the Dior Lip Glow at the Duty-Free Shops.
I have been hearing good comments about this Lip Glow, and I thought I would give it a try.
Learnt from the Longchamp stuff that the Duty-Free prices in the Departure hall do not consist of GST,
however, besides cosmetics and alcohol, the rest of the items consist of a GST surcharge.
Went there by Singapore Airlines.
Its the first time for me,
P.S. there is isn't much difference in price as compared to budget airlines
SIA's economy class seats provide much more leg space as compared to Cathay Airline.
I would definitely opt for Singapore Airlines again, for comfort and service.
For my 4 nights in Bangkok, I stayed in Baiyoke Sky Hotel.
It was the tallest building in Bangkok I heard.
I was provided a room at the Lady's floor, the first time I heard of such service.
Other than having a great view from my room, I don't think I will be going back to this hotel again.
Every night, I see cockroaches in my room.
The morning buffet spread wasn't to my liking as well.
Even got myself burnt by the oven.
But that's my fault, not the hotel's fault.
The mark on my hand is much darker now,
Burnt marks don't leave scars right? :\
I only roamed around the Pratunam area.
Mainly Platinum Fashion Mall and City Complex.
Platinum Fashion Mall is quite a great place to walk!
Considering the air-con comfort you will get.
The prices are definitely cheaper than in Singapore, however its hard to get a bargain.
It is hard to even bargain (plus I am not a bargain person).
City Complex is a wholesale center (mainly only jeans, pants, shorts, skirts)
The prices of bottoms found here are cheaper than Platinum Fashion Mall,
so I advice you to get them there.
There is a linking skyline bridge between these 2 wholesale centers.
Did not have the chance to go to Chatuchuk because it is a weekend market.
I didn't know it until my friend told me
But it was too late, because the flight tickets were already booked.
These are the stuff that I got from Thailand.
There isn't alot, considering the fact that the amount of money was to be shared with my mum.
And my mum actually bought more than me~~
I was the one who wants to shop,
Feel undignified.
In terms of shopping, I really liked Bangkok.
However, I do not really like their roads.
Traffic jams are a common sight, even in shortcuts.
And I think it is really dangerous.
Vehicles can enter the market places,
which makes it even more congested and dangerous.
Food wise, I did not manage to try any street food.
My aunt was pretty peculiar about the cleanliness issue.
So it was a pity.
Had MacDonalds, their MacDonalds meal are in the American size!
The regular size of their fries and drinks is equivalent to the Large Size in Singapore.
I didn't know that, and so I ordered an upsize.
But it was definitely worth the money.
I ordered their McWings, it didn't come with wings though.
Only drumlets (much spicier than Singapore's McWings),
Because the serving was so large, it was so much worth the money.
The McNuggets come in 10 pieces as well, so it was easy to divide among 2 people.
The Padthai I tried at Platinum Fashion Mall was sweet,
I don't really like sweet food as a main dish, so it didn't went well with me.
Plus, the stall vendor was so unhygienic.
She was actually playing with the squid meant to serve us with her bare fingers,
she even scratch her neck after that (ewwwww!!)
Overall, I still think I would go back to Bangkok again.
The things there are really cheap, so once a year to stock up my wardrobe.
I guess that ain't too much right?? d:
