BANGKOK II : Day 1 - Pratunam Market Area

Dec 2013

My 2nd trip to Bangkok! It is to revisit the main shopping areas, eat my favourite Thai food and try out new Thai food I have not eaten before and to visit new places.

Here's the window view from my plane's seat

I was at Bangkok's MacDonalds and saw these four interesting dips which you can get by paying 10 baht for each - Dip it Your Way

Cheese Dip, Classic Mayo Dip, Italian Dip, Berry Mayo Dip - Ain't the last dip weird?

I checked into my hotel which was Ten Stars Inn. As you can see, my deluxe room is so spacious and they even shaped the towels to form a heart shape resembling two swans kissing each other

Ten Stars Inn - 44/1-2, Soi Petchburi17, Petchburi road

I enjoyed my stay in this hotel and it was easy to locate. Once at the entrance of the hotel, you can turn to your left and see Pantip Plaza opposite. So convenient, especially less than 10 minutes of walk to Pratunam Market for cheap shopping and Thai street food - Yummy!

It is a must to eat Mac's Samurai Pork Burger. Love the sauce that add flavour to the pork patty.

I bought 5 tops before I even reached my hotel to check in. It is impossible not buying at least a piece of clothing if one is in Pratunam Market.

The hotel staff folded the towels into lovey dovey swans - haha, but I was staying alone in this deluxe room

I went to Pantip Plaza for my A&W Root Beer Float. 

My favourite salt-grilled fish

Soup Beef Noodles - Love the tender beef and the soup. I find Thai street food portion is quite small. I finished my vermicelli even before the ingredients had been finished. 

I bought washing powder at 10 baht to wash my clothes during my stay in Bangkok. Seriously, I can't understand why people will rather bring back their stinky clothes to their country to wash. Well, I won't wanna pay for laudry service if I could wash it myself.

In Pratunam Wholesale market, it is cheaper to buy clothes in bulk to enjoy a cheaper rate. 

The black hairband I bought it for only 5 baht outside Platinum Fashion Mall. 

Most of the clothes featured above cost 100-150 baht per piece at Pratunam Market

BANGKOK: Day 4 Part II Thai MacDonalds + Day 5 (Last Day) Airport

Dec 2012

This is the fourth day of my first Bangkok trip and leaving the next day. I love Thai food and I had my last Pad Thai noodles from the street outside National Stadium BTS. 

As mentioned in my Tokyo post, I am a fan of MacDonalds and every country has a slightly different menu. In Thailand, there are corn pie, pineapple pie and spinach pie. My favourite is Spinach pie. It isn't as awful as I thought. Before I tried it, I was thinking it will have those strong vegetable taste that turns off non-veggie fans.

Yummy Spinach Pie (29 baht)

We went back to A&W again at Pantip Plaza for its waffles with ice cream. This is waffle with banana ice cream. Special.

Enjoying my A&W float again

Day 5: We went to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport. There is this Gods vs Demons pulling a snake like a tug of war.

This is what I bought during my first visit to Bangkok. I went to Bangkok the following year and I can assure you that Bangkok II post is much more interesting than my first Bangkok trip posts.

Stay tuned to Bangkok's Museum of Death and Safari World - Open space zoo with No enclosures.
