Once again, we embark on our next trip within the span of 1 week, on Singapore Airlines. It was a total feeling pre trip as compared to the one we had one week earlier to Bali. We woke up hours earlier than our usual day we do when we had work. Thankfully for online check-in, we reached airport @ 6am (woah, damn early).
The girl by then, was already so excited over the breakfast, repeatedly wishing they're going to serve her carrot cake. SADLY, to her GREATEST disappointment, carrot cake wasn't the meal. Perhaps it was too early into the day, we basically just slept through the flight.
Barely opened less than a month, we tried out the Airport Rail Link @ the airport upon arrival in Bangkok 45 Baht (approx S$1.90) and 30 minutes is all it takes to reach the heart of Bangkok. We had a tiring yet fun time, dragging our gigantic luggage (the girl brought a luggage that has size bigger that half of her, all because of her hobby, SHOPPING) all the way from the station to our hotel. We were pretty impressed with the way we did it anyway.
I'm pretty impressed with our hotel - Grand Diamond Suites Hotel. Equipped with a small cosy living hall, which we never used at all, and a bedroom with all the necessary. Somehow, I love this hotel for its location and configuration although the girl never pretty much looked back at the latter.
First up, Earawan Shrine where Four-Faced Buddha sits nicely over there. We offers our prayers and sweet girl allows my A&W cravings to be satisfied over at Pantip Plaza (Yums!). Slowly, we made our way to Siam where the rich visits (only the rich). Nothing much there except for my KRISPY KREMES which I totally regretted not laying my hands on it. Wonders if the girl shares the same regret as me (probably she's didn't as she could be dwelling over the loss of a dress she yearn to buy). Cheers to the girl again, she brought me to this nice Japanese restaurant called Fuji Restaurant where Japanese food were cheaply priced and tastefully done. We had a yummy room service to end the first night which somehow was memorable.
Second day arrives faster than we thought. Included breakfast took us by surprise with their amazing spread, especially for that porridge that appears so silky. Lunch on the other hand was even a better meal when we visit this Thai Restaurant, although the smell almost turned us off (most of their restaurant has this weird smell). Coconut Ice Cream, probably one of the best food I've eaten for this trip. Topped over glutinous rice, the coconut ice cream is not only sweet but when combined together with the 4 toppings they provided, it tasted heavenly. Along with the Phad Thai as well as her '4 Levels of Spiciness' Tom Yum soup. It boosted us for some crazy shopping later on.
Platinum Mall, the girl's favourite haunt was enough to ache our legs, dig a hole in our pockets and cause much happiness with so many variety and cheap buys. Bags after bags filled our fingers and it didn't took us long before we had a handful of loots. We go back and fro from the hotel and Platinum Mall which is just right beside each other. Finally, we decided we had enough and we hit back to MBK, where shopping continues (the girl just can't stop shopping?!?!?!). Happily, we ended the night with some Prison Break dramas.
Rise and shine early the next day (orders passed down by the Queen) because we need to get to Chatuchak by 10am, which we really did. Phew! And boy, I don't remember it being so big the last time I came here. Probably, I should have known better who I'm with. And so, the shopping queen, dragged me and we made our way around the maze. We got lost a number of times but that definitely did not affect our shopping mood. Yet again, we filled our hands with loots before having a pit shop at an Air Conditioned restuarant. You'll never know how previous air conditioner can be until you've been to Chatuchak. The shrimp cakes and the oyster omelette cast an unforgettable memory in our head as it satisfy every aspect of our tastebud together with her Tom Yum soup (yet again) and my Phad Thai (Yes, yet again). We are loyal, period!
Shopping continues before we rush for our long awaited Spa @ Let's Relax Spa Palour. Recommended by the girl, we went through near turmoils to get there as evil taxi drivers 'tok' us off our Bahts. My first time in a couple room doing massage with the girl. It was indeed as very relaxing experience as the name of the palour suggest before the real pain comes in. However, I felt pretty relaxed after everything and they concluded the session with a wonderful plate of Mango Sticky Rice. Yums. I still can't forget the amusing moments when the girl was eating hers.
Same thing again, the taxi drivers there somehow hated Chinatown, due to the jam as well as long distance away from the city. We were bluffed, cheated off our money before we painstakingly reached T&K Seafood. Heard so much about T&K Seafood, we told ourselves to wait no matter how long is the queue and indeed, it was worth every penny we spent on it. From crab with glass noodles, to sharksfin, to prawns, to cockles, to bird nest etc...we truly enjoyed that meal, probably the most expensive meal we had spent and guess what, it's less than S$35 per pax. Awesomeness! Looted on some local chinese produce before we head back to our hotel for the very last night (sobs).
Guess what's for the next day? YES! You got it, it's shopping again. A day where the girl changed for more $$ and of course, spending more on her loots. By the end of the day, I think she got more than 20 clothings. It was however, an easy feat to fit all the loots into our huge luggages but dragging it from the hotel to airport was a hassle as taxi driver attempted to ruin our day. Thankfully, everything went smoothly as we finally reached Singapore on time.
In short, enjoyable trip, great companion (for shopping, make sure you got the right companion), cheap loots and food and great hotel. Can't wait for my next time back to this pretty land of smiles!
