Bangkok Part IV

Part I, II and III.

Like I said, we have nothing planned for the day. It was intended to be a very relaxing trip. After the Erawan Shrine visit, we basically just roam around that area and shopped around the malls before we went back to MBK, for food.

After MBK, we walked over to Siam Paragon for Red Mango, which is highly recommended by the boy of which later I found out that it's the usual hangout place for him and his exgf haha so as expected I'm quite reluctant to go also lah. But how can! I'm a grown up woman okay what is there to be jealous about wtf.

Red Mango is a Frozen Yoghurt Cafe. A very expensive one too.


#1 Red Mango. It's a branch from the Los Angeles based company.


#2 You can top your frozen yogurt with fresh fruit toppings. I can't remember how much is it per cup but it's somewhere around 90BHT (I think).


#3 I cannot remember which building it's in. I thought it's in Siam Paragon but obviously I'm wrong because you can see Siam Paragon from Red Mango wtf. So it's opposite of Siam Paragon and you can see the double storey BTS on the right.


#4 We chose Kiwi, Lychee and Peach. More like I chose it because Step always let me decide what I want. Even after he choose it, I'd normally overrule his decision haha.


#5 Hmm. I wanted to say it's not nice because of the whole exgf hangout place thing but then hmph! let me remind you again that I'm a grown up lady okay I don't throw tantrums over small things like this. Tsk as if. Anyway, it's nice lah! I kinda like it. No actually I really liked it haha.


#6 We went to the Suan Lum Night Bazaar for shopping and dinner. My photos are mostly blur because Step's hands always terketar-ketar. He can never take good photos.

After dinner, we shopped in Suan Lum for...........jeng jeng jeng...........half an hour..ONLY! Do you have any idea how big Suan Lum is? And we only took half an hour to walk around? I don't think I have anything to buy except..maybe some food. And Step, he never liked shopping. So we just left after an hour=( Oh but I did buy something. I bought the cushion cover for my mum. It's everywhere in the market.


#7 We took the BTS and cab to the hawkers outside of King Park Avenue Hotel. It was a whole street of hawkers and 7-11 is everywhere there.


#8 We bought this bebola thing.


#9 And the combination of the chilli sauce and the bebola is heavenly.


#10 Then we went to the boy's favorite barbequed Chicken Wing stall. This stall's business is really damn good. Needless to say, we went back almost every night and the boy bought like more than 5 chicken wings each time. Erm...diet? What diet?

We woke up the next day around 10 something and were only out the hotel around noon. We..erm...went back to MBK food court. HAHA I know right! We're so boring we keep going back to same place. No actually the boy wanted to try a lot of hawker stalls out there but I refused because..hello? Do you have any idea how hot it is out there in Bangkok in May! Like crazy hot okay MBK is air-conditioned and the food...nice what. *defensive wtf.


#11 Pad Thai. haha. Again.


#12 I like this chilli powder. Almost every stall you eat in Thailand has this powder. I eat everything with it. Can I find it anywhere in Penang?


#13 FRIED CHICKEN WITH RICE OMG SO GOOD CAN ORGASM WAN.


#14 Beef Noodle. The boy said this is really really nice but I didn't try because I didn't eat beef. No if you're wondering it's not because of Guan Yin Ma or anything. I just don't like beef. I can't eat it because all I can think of is the whole cow in front of me. Ew.


#15 Yah both of us finished all 3 plates. Erm..diet? What diet?


#16 That's not the end! We ordered desserts. Mango with Sticky Rice plus coconut sauce. THIS IS REALLY GOOD I REALLY REALLY LIKED IT. Sigh I'm actually really drooling right now subconciously.


#17 Fried Banana with coconut cream. This is...just okay.


#18 Wah see the greedy face again. I look like I haven't really fully awake but kept eating already.

We decided to do some sightseeing since it's our last day and how can we waste all 5 days just in MBK eating at the food court! So we checked out all the booklets and found this Chao Phraya River tour with Express Boat.



This boat will have many stops. It'll stop you at those tourism spots like temples and stuff such as the famous Wat Pho and Wat Arun then when you're done sightseeing, you can jump back on the boat and it'll bring you to the next station.

Keep in mind though, the boat will not wait for you. It'll drop you and you'll have to wait for the next one to leave. This boat is not just for tourism purposes, it actually is a real transportation mode for the locals to avoid the traffic jam.

So we figured we should for go for this! Can do some sight seeing and then we'll cruise back in the evening through the river and can see sunset. Wah how romantic right.

The only problem is, we only have like less than 100 BHT (RM10) with us. We figured this kind of river tour should cost a lot more than that. So the boy insisted to take the BTS back to hotel (50BHT), get some money then take the BTS to the River tour stop again. We took like maybe 500 BHT out?

AND THE STUPID THING IS THE TICKET FOR THE BOAT IS LIKE 20BHT PER PERSON. To think we went through all the trouble to go back hotel and take money wtf So i laughed at the boy wtf kena con. We summore double checked with the guy and asked him again if it's really only 20 BHT (RM2) per person haha. Cannot believe it's so cheap.

We onyl stopped at 2 Wats. Cannot remember which Wat already but one of it is the Great Sleeping Buddha claimed to be one of the largest in the world or something. We had to pay around RM5 per person to go in I think. SIgh But it's really really boring lor. I really don't enjoy all this temple visiting. They all looked the same to me. So we decided not to kena con again, and just skip all the temples and jsut enjoy the romantic cruise.

Well, it turns out to be not so romantic lah. Just sit for fun and enjoy the wind lah. But we figrued it's better than staying in MBK haha.



#19 Had maggi mee supper outside the hotel. NOT NICE. Really. If you happen to stay in Imm Fusion Sukhmvit, don't waste your money or time at the hawker outside the lobby. They all really sucks to the max.


#20 Best thing to do after whole day of sweating and walking is a hot shower and comfortable bed. I really have nothing to complain about Imm Fusion. The room is nice and clean plus the hotel staff are VERY HELPFUL.


#21 The hotel looks quite new to us.


#22 Shower place.


My flight was at 7 in the morning the next day. And the boy's was in the evening. My plan is to wake up at 4.30am. Brush up and take a cab from our hotel at 5am. Then reach airport at 6am. So I happily set my alarm.

Woke up the next day, brush up and everything according to plan. I wanted to leave the hotel room when the boy asked me to relax and go lie down for a while. I was like HOW CAN? WE'RE LATE ALREADY WE NEED TO GET A CAB. Then I found out I set the alarm 1 hour earlier which is 3.30am and it's only 4am when he told me that.

Why am I like that.

So we drank Meiji Chocolate and ate some bread on the bed for 1 hour then only left for airport. really wtf.


#23 Our only photo in Bangkok! Sigh there's no one to help us take photo the past 4 days so had to ask someone in airport to at least take one.

SO THERE YOU GO.

I finally concluded my Bangkok trip. Phew!

I would definitely go back again. Maybe end of the year? I miss the food and the cheap clothes. And AirAsia flight tickets to Bangkok is getting cheaper and cheaper! But I reckon if I go again I wouldn't stay in Imm Fusion because even though BTS station is few steps away and Tesco Lotus is right across the street, it's too far from MBK! THe hotel's at the end of the Sukhumvit Line so I'll probably search for one that i around MBK. hohohoho So that I can eat there everyday.

That's all folks. U.S. trip photos up next!
