Miss me guys?!?!? I am back from Bangkok! Touched down last night ard 10pm (Stupid flight delayed for around half an hour). It was so nice when I stepped onto Changi Airport's floor. Air in Bangkok really sux! The air is so dirty there... I couldnt take deep breaths over there. The place was very dirty too... while you walk along the streets, the ground is always uneven! There's always bricks, other debris or holes and cracks on the ground. The holes are filled with dirty water also. My sis even got cut by shattered glasses of glass bottles. I really appreciate Singapore much much more after this trip! I cannot imagine how the ppl there can live in those houses ....those black and rundown short buildings, always have water dripping down...The weather is sooo hot over there and the ppl can still wear Jeans and even Long sleeve or jacket!!! I am already sweating like a pig even if I am wearing just tank top and shorts and slippers! -_-
Well, Kun sent us to the airport on Wed and I was so sad when we had to depart. I didnt think I would feel as sad until that moment, I felt like crying haha...not that I am going over for years. Haha...:P Also because we are going in odd numbers and I don't have a companion unlike my parents and my sis and jerry. Whenever I speak, there are always times when I am ignored or neglected. Very sianz de lor!
Anyway, the plane we boarded was real small...the inside is damn cramp! There was just a very very narrow lane in between and the seats were very squeezy too. The 2 hour plus journey made our necks and backs so painful. Very uncomfy seats lar..but nvm lar cos the tickets realli cheapo de ma. cannot complain.
When the plane took off, it was quite exciting! haha..me and my sis were toking all the way ..it has been so long since i last took a plane or even went overseas for holidays.
When we touched down at Bangkok, the weather was realli humid .. the air was very warm at night. It was nearly 11pm there. The floor of the airport there looked like hospital.. We got a cab and made our way to the Samran Hotel. The traffic there realy very scary, all the drivers no manners de...drive like mad and very fast. They just cut and cut , really impatient ppl!
The hotel was a 3-star hotel but it looked Ok onli lar..the lift was very lousy. The door kept closing and there was no sensor..many of us was being banged by the doors many times. The air was also wierd de..I just felt everything there wasnt clean lar..felt disgusted.
We had 2 rooms, I had to slp with my parents while my sis and jerry got the other room. My bed was v v lousy, there is always a squeeky sound if i turn and move too much. There is also a dent in the middle and I tend to slp in the dent..like no spring liddat...my neck and back very painful.
When we have settled down and arranged our stuff, we were hungry, so we went to the nearest 7-eleven to buy some food. The things there were unbelievable Cheap! Just a few cents for oreo biscuits! My sis and I bought microwave pizza and ate on the way back to the hotel. That was a WRONG MOVE! We had to walk along alleys..dark alleys...very scary..we could see beggars..or mysterious ppl...then the air was disgusting...the road was filty...i was imagining rats running across my feet and cockroaches. haha..Eeew Gross right?! I was eating and the smell of the pizza was soooo disgusting, I felt like puking! :P
They do not have dustbins like Singapore, where there are many dustbins just within a few walking distances. Cannot stand lor...! hahhaa..:P I know alot of complains lar..but actually Ok lar just there for a few days not years. Heng I am not living there...Phew~
____________________________________________________________
Ok, I have been shopping & SHOPPING & SHOPPING everyday there...walking and walking whole day from morning til night, until my legs hurt more and more each day!
The stuff really cheap there..but of course quality not the best.
Bought hell lot of things back..hmm but actually those that I like alot for myself not alot alot lor..I think my sis and mum bought more things.
I got for myself:
- A few tank tops
- Tshirts
- 2 knee length skirt
- 1 denim short skirt
- a few pair of shoes
- Belts
- Sunglasses
- Bags
- Earrings
- 1 dress
- 1 bikini
- 1 denim shorts
Actually I think I bought very little things already. For clothes, actually I really prefer those I see in Singapore although they are much more expensive.
I got some stuff for Waner, Kun and friends too. I also bought liqour at the DutyFree shop at Airport and perfume!
Well...we went Pratunam the first day and also Siam place where all the shopping malls sell branded goods. We only went there to walk around cos really cannot afford it and didnt even dare to walk into the shops!
At those street market, we met some very rude and unpleasant sellers, and we will never buy from them no matter how nice is the thing! Hehe..attitude!
The pathways were sooo narrow and so many sweaty ppl walked past us...so disgusting lor!
We went to Ma Bun Kong on the second day...and at night, we went to the night market (Suan Lum). Third day we went to Chatuchat (dunno how to spell), which was terribly HOT!
As usual, there are no fitting rooms..I didnt have the mood to shop there..sweat like hell.
My sis and Jerry went separate ways from the rest of us as we headed to the shopping malls and managed to find one really nice place to shop! It is the Platinum wholesale shopping mall..but by the time we reached, some shops have already closed.
Thus, we decided to go for last minute shopping the following day. finally I managed to take the Tut Tut back to the hotel! hehe..I know I sua gu never take before..but actually nothing special lor.. just that the air on the road really sucks!
On the last day there, we had our last min shopping at Platinum mall and the targeted time to leave was 3pm. However, we went separate ways and I wanted to spend all my Thai Baht. Thus, my sis and I went to shop for one last thing and I was trying denim shorts and skirts and we forgot to take note of the timing. I wanted to buy 1 skirt but still short of 100 Baht, so my sis went to find my parents to take the rest of the money. We didnt know it was alrdy 3.30pm and my sis got a scolding from my dad & jerry when she went to take the money.
When she came back, she warned me about their pissed off mood la..I was prepared..but when I met them, I still felt realli upset.
I know we were at fault lar..they were afraid there will be traffic jam and we might miss the flight. Got scolded by my dad but my mum said we should look for a cab right now...the traffic was really busy that period of time. We had a hard time waiting for a cab, the ppl there really have no manners and you have to really "Grab" a cab!
When we finally got one by forcefully getting into it, the driver FUCKING didnt wanna go the our destination! We had to alight after 2 minutes! Wat the hell! Such things will never happen in Singapore!
Everyone was rather pissed esp my dad. We had to wait for another cab and my mum suggested to walk back to the hotel althought weather was damn hot and we were taking alot of plastic bags and it was about 30 minutes walk. Dad was in a foul mood lor and he replied to ask my mum to walk herself if she wants! My sis and I was very unhappy with his attitude. I think my mum was also ...but she didnt wanna quarrel. Then finally one cab came and it was not running on meter. So, he wanted 100 Baht and dad thought it was too ex for a short journey and he ALIGHTED!!! IT was when Mum quickly offered to pay that he came back into the cab.
We were all PISSED...at that moment cannot believe he still so stubborn! 100 Baht is around S$4 ma! Arrghh~!! -_-
On the way to the airport, I was scolded again. I actually "geared" myself by wearing my sunglass beforehand. However, I still couldnt control myself and my tears just rushed out throughout the journey. Of course I was silent...but my mum knew about it and said everything will be fine. When we reached the airport, my dad also talked to me nicely...said everything is OK and his character is like that. He just wanted me to understand when we are overseas, we have to be really very cautious about timing.
Phew~! I couldnt wait to get back to Singapore then. Miss Kun soooo much.
Had been using my dad's Blackberry to email him everyday and wrote journal everynight before I slp. BUt the Blackberry batt flat on the second day of my trip..so really missed him alot.I know he will sayang me when I see him..haha!
We had BurgerKing for dinner before taking a London Cab home.
Was so exhausted and fell aslp quickly after taking a nice shower....:D
I think I will like to go again soon..maybe end of the year..haha
I have not posted the pics..wil do so when I am free..
