Thailand - Bangkok

Bangkok again! Kaixin booked a cheap deal from Expedia which covered both air tickets and hotel accommodation. The hotel we are staying is Venice Suite Hotel, as the name suggest, is along the river canal, near Chit Lom - Pratunam area. We arrived close to mid-night on the first night and went to sleep upon reach.

Day 1: Woke at for hotel breakfast then went back to nap again. Woke close to noon time and brought Kaixin to Thong Lor for the famous Pad Thai near the hotel I stayed during training, Salil Hotel. I literately had the best Oyster Omelette I ever had.

Walked towards Purr Cat Cafe only to realize the Cafe was already closed month ago. We then traveled to Terminal 21 for some shopping, and of course, mandatory Honey Toast from After You Cafe.

In the evening, we took BTS back to Chit Lom and went back hotel for brisk rest, then walked to Central World for some night market dinner. The street food outside Central World was rather disappointing as most of the food there wasn't really freshly made and was cold.

At night, we walked to Soi 19 at Pratunam for some massage. I did body massage and Kaixin had feet massage.

Day 2: Didn't sleep very well and woke close to noon this time. Went straight to famous chicken rice stall for some chicken rice, and then finished off with Wanton Mee. Afternoon was spent shopping in Platinum Mall and enjoying 1-for-1 frappocino at Starbucks.


In the late afternoon, we took BTS to National Stadium and went about another round of shopping at MBK mall. We then traveled back to hotel for brief rest and head out for dinner.

Dinner was much better this time, we settled down at Neon night market which was right opposite our hotel. We had banana crepe, big grilled fish, giant clams, and eventually mango sticky rice after resting our bellies.



I went to massage alone this time as Kaixin was tired. Dad neck, shoulder, and back massage at iSabah, one of the pretty famous massage place at Soi 19.

Day 3: Woke for quick hotel breakfast, and went back to rest and pack up. The highlight of the day was our quick 30 minute massage at boarding area to clear our remaining Thai Bahts. The chill at Bangkok ended too quickly and we wished it was 2 10 days longer.
