Back from BKK trip (23-26 Jan)!
Seems more like a blessing bcos I nvr know that I can find gd companions to go with me in such a short time! 4d3n can be long or short depending on how u see it. for me, i prefer to have a relaxing trip so i rather spent the holiday shopping, eating, etc and not rush everywhere and not get enough slp and have to keep changing lodging. This time, i have ample time shopping at Chatuchuk weekend market, Platinum Fashion Wholesale Mall, Suan Lum Night Bazaar, etc!
Only thing that I missed out was e massage. Mainly bcos my cousin & biao sao dun really like it and for e foot reflexology which we planned to do it on Day 3 was called off bcos my biao sao started to have blisters on her both feet. I thought I'm pretty proud to be shopping by myself at Platinum fashion mall and City Pratunam/Pratunam market from 2 to 5pm (BKK time). Since there's only 1 hotel key, we agreed to meet back at the hotel at 5pm and I seized all the time that I have just to do all e shopping!
Particularly love e 3 photo albums that I got from a shop that looks like Daiso at Platinum mall which sells all the cutie stuffs, mickey tee shirts, mini drawers, keychains, etc! The prices are absolutely attractive if u buy at least 3 pieces. Gotten myself a pair of pink Birkins at only 150 baht and I got mine at 130 baht (last piece and e owner automatically reduced e price for me, so blessed!). it's VERY cheap compared to another shop that sells ard 350 baht. my cousin even complemented that I really know how to shop by buying those gd for money stuffs and not just anyhow splurge. hahahaa... true enough. not all shops allow us to try on clothings, if not, I will surely buy more.
i guess i have e habit of restricting my spending if i feel that i won't have enough. upon going there, i paid for my hotel charges (2093 baht equivalent to SGD91 as at that date). With e extra 2k over baht, I believe I can shop for alot more stuffs! haha.
2 things happened and I thank God for making things right in Jesus' name. 1stly, we nearly missed the check in timing which was supposed to be 9.55am (an hr b4 the dep timing), who knows we only reached e airport at 10.20am. I was praying for miracle to happen while we were on e train. What happened was that the initial timing of 10.55am was retimed to 11.20am! We even have more time to shop ard at DFS shops.
The other incident was at Thailand's airport. We were asked to give 6K over baht to the tour guide without issuing any receipt for us and claimed that we would only get it during our last day of stay in the hotel. When we reached e hotel, e hoteliers told us that they dun have our booking records and wanted us to present them our hotel vouchers or even receipt and we dun have any. Gdness. Luckily they managed to call up e agency over there and managed to get things cleared up. Indeed, they said they did receive our payment and got our booking dates wrongly. Thank goodness! Lesson learnt? No matter what, get a receipt when u make payment. I only took e pic of e guy counting our money like a paparazzi (where got enough?!) haha! Anyway, here's e pics! *teeheehee*
OKAY~ i will say that I'm gg to BKK again if i can find great kakis and manage to take leave. yayness! ^^
I just want this happiness to remain, e msg that came at e right time.
I wish u were there with me as well.
