Bangkok trip

I am back !!!

Tire and fun trip.. Is quite tiring to carry a 10 ++ kg to here and there, sometimes he will walk himself, but i will make sure is safe place, else i prefer to carry him... :p

He is having really big fun in taking his 1st plane, 1st train (MRT,skytrain) .. Surprisingly he is not scare or cried in the plane (father a bit worry at first). But looks like he is having fun in the plane... looking thru the window, wave bye bye to the other plane (before plane start move ya)..hehe.. He really having fun with all the 'Thai' Jie Jie around.. in the MRT station, shopping malls, road... any thai girls passed by, he go smiles at ppl and wave bye bye and give them a big 'Fren Kiss' ... "Lum' a lot of thai girls there.. hahah!!!

I had planned out a light and easy itenary for this trip... as 2 round per days , rest in between (after lunch, go back hotel to rest and let my son took his naps)..

We took our flight at 8.30 am on Thurs.. toward to LCCT Airport at 6.30 am from home... "Hao" still not wake up yet.

Reached Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport around 10 am ++ (the time there is 9 am ++, 1 hr different from Msia)...
Take the taxi, straight to Tai-Pan Hotel and checked in... take some rest and go ahead for lunch + shopping ...

Mm.. basically, we went to their famous shopping mall area... Siam Paragon (like KLCC), Siam Discovery Center, MBK (like Sg.Wang)..

Mm.. Chatuchak Market (weekend market, only opened on Sat, Sun morning). Famous but quite crowded, got to go early morning... The Grand Palace (a Must see place to visit).. China Town (this is where we ate the Sharkfin and Birdnest, baked seafood at roadside), Erawan Shrine (four-headed bronze Brahman sculpture)... etc.

Something interesting:
1. The taxi driver is 'queue' there ... for the airport ppl to arrange for the customer. [1st time seeing driver queuing there : ) ]
2. School girl uniform is quite nice. White shirt + black skirt [The skirt is alll kind of fashion, short, long, tight with the nice belt, like a fashion show.. ]
3. Passenger of the motorcycle all sit side way and they did not wear helmet.

4. Airport is really high-tech look, similar to KLIA.
5. Transportation is very convenient with the MRT and Skytrain.
6. Drinks: Green Skin orange juice, coconut (roughly RM 1)

These are the things we missed out :
1. Cruise on river side (Chao Phraya)
2. Floating market
3. Other temples (Wat)...

Here some pix .....
