Bangkok Trip 2012 (15-18 June)

Day 2

Chatuchak day! Had the complimentary buffet breakfast before setting off!

Wearing similar tops!


Really yummy buffet breakfast.
Went for many rounds hehe, I love hotel breakfast the most!


How the buffet area looks like.

After settling breakfast, I was thinking of taking the cab to Chatuchak but I heard about the horrible traffic jams nearby that area so we decided to take the BTS there instead!


On the tuktuk!

Requested for the hotel tuktuk to send us to the nearby BTS station and from there we bought tickets to Mo Chit station. I think the whole journey took 10-15 minutes? Really fast! There's quite a number of people alighting at the same station, so we just followed behind the crowd and within mins we reached the famous market!

Really regretted because I didn't take a single pic of Chatuchak market lol! Scared of dropping my phone so I just kept it in my bag the whole time -_-

There were already quite a number of stalls around the BTS so we started there! Some were selling cute handmade keychains, wallets, phone plugs, watch and all. Lowest price I saw for a handmade keychain is only THB20! ~SGD0.80 only! Whereas for wallets and watches it was around THB100? ~SGD4.10! Very cheap!! I should have bought more!!! :(

Had the famous coconut icecream in the middle of Chatuchak, which is the clock tower! There were steps there so we just bought icecream to share and also to stop for a rest.


Tip: Bring along a portable fan! It is VERY hot at Chatuchak.


My super black feet after conquering Chatuchak market!
Another tip! Wear slippers there!!
 
We were dirty and feeling yucky after finishing the whole Chatuchak market so at around 2pm we decided to head back to the hotel to wash up! I think we finished Chatuchak market because we started off at the BTS station and we managed to walk a whole round and end up back at the BTS station again!

We were just lucky we managed to find an exit. Before we found the exit, I was so worried we would get lost and hungry and angry and all haha.

Back at the hotel for a short rest and by 3pm we were all ready to head out! Decided on Central World (nearby Plat mall)! It's like a more modern shopping centre with brands like F21, Uniqlo, breadtalk (lol), and many many more!! Bought bb his new DC top at Central World too! :)


Very happy on the cab. Airconnnn *_*


Same shirt lol! Because we're cool like that

When we were on the cab to Central World, there were slight traffic jams so as we were nearing the mall, the driver told us we could just walk via the overhead bridge as it was linked to the mall. It was his way of telling us to get off, so we just did as told lol!

Central world was kinda boring because the shops were all similar to shops we have in our malls, so we just walked to Plat mall after that. Tried street food while walking to Plat mall! Bought really yummy pork skewers and fried chicken wings. It rained at 5++pm! I forgot to bring along my umbrella so remember yr umbrellas!!

Day 2 ended at Plat mall! As usual we bought food back to the hotel for supper lol glutttttons.
Places visited for Day 2: Chatuchak, Central World, Platinum mall (againnnnn)
