Bangkok, Oct 2015

Dear Diary,

In addition to my previous post on the Bangkok dog friendly places, this post is to complete the topic of my 3 days 2 nights Bangkok trip.

I took Thai airways to Bangkok. I love Thai airways. The flight is usually smooth and they have very good service. The food served on the plane is quite yummy too! Its spacious and they have TV for us to watch. Usually people wouldn't be willing to pay this much for just a 2 hour trip. To me, it is very important to have comfort where ever i go. I have tried SIA to Bangkok before and I do not have good comments on the ride. Least i expected, my checked in luggage was broken! I also tried Jetstar and I was bored in the plane for 2 hours. I even upgraded my seat to have more leg space. With the amount i paid, i rather pay a bit more for Thai Airways.

We booked Berkeley Hotel. Its located opposite Platinum Fashion mall. I love this hotel as it is quite cosy and they room is big. The normal rooms will not have bathtubs, only the luxurious rooms. We booked the luxurious rooms to enjoy the bathtub. It only cost us about SGD90 per night. The only setback about this hotel is that, the nearest BTS station is quite far. Some people prefer to stay closer to the shopping district, whereas some others prefer to be nearer to the train stations.
Here are some of the pictures of the hotel:

The Hotel Lift Lobby. The highest floor isat 35th floor. 



I stayed in Pathuwan Princess Hotel, Glow Hotel, Hua Chang Heritage Hotel, Novotel at Siam and this is the latest hotel. I love Hua Chang Heritage the best. :) 

When I stay in any hotels, the hotel international buffet is a must. The buffet have wide array of spreads with yummy delights. The cost of the buffet per person is about 450 baht. 

I landed at 9am in Bangkok. We went to the hotel to check in and the hotel reception did a stupid mistake repeatedly. We booked 2 rooms in total. They check us in and gave us our respective room keys. Both room keys can unlock the same room door! We went back down to tell them, end up, she deactivated the current room access and did the same mistake for the other room door. We had to go down the 3rd time to rectify the mistake. oh gosh~~

After settling down, we went for our lunch! We went to eat the famous Wanton noodle. I don't really know the exact address but i know it is located at a small alley beside Glow hotel. We also ordered additional pig leg.

4 big bowls + 1 small bowl of wanton noodle + pig leg = 700++ baht. Not cheap!
But its very yummy!

After lunch we went to buy our calling cards and head to Truelove husky cafe. (please see previous blog post. We were all so tired already but we are still trying to keep our energy high! 
Another new place that we explore for desserts! we had sugar overloaded!

Karmakamet Diner


We came here for the famous cotton candy icecream!! This is so picture worthy as this is the biggest and nicest cotton candy! 


Look at how big the cotton candy is!


Below, is a cup of strawberry icecream. 

If have the chance, you should consider this into your bangkok itinerary! 

Address30/1 Sukhumvit Soi 24 Bangkok 
Nearest BTS station is Phrom Phong. 
The place requires GPS to navegate. you need to enter via a small road beside Emporium Suites
Next, we went to K Village (please see previous post) and ended our first day with foot massage. It's not a particular shop to recommend but its still 

Day 2, we went to Chatuchak Weekend market. That is where all the shopping starts! We walked thru doggie areas and other clothes area. Don't say I didn't warn you, chaktuchak is a very very humid place. You will not leave without sweating. But no worries! Look out for road side stores selling coconut ice cream. It will definitely cool you down! 

We actually shopped till we forgotten to have our lunch! While our friends still shopping, we head back to our hotel first. On our way back, we bought our late lunch from 7 11. Their food in 7 11 is surprisingly yummy! No kidding! Not many people buy food from 7 11 on their holidays but I do! We bought tom yum, pizza sandwich, shrimp wanton soup, tang hoon noodles and all. And all these cost less than SGD 10. I'm not sure what is the exact price as we bought other stuffs too. The Tom Yum is so good! 



Next, is dinner time! We went to this Japanese restaurant called Kaizen. The nearest BTS is Ratchathewi. Take the exit towards Asia Hotel and walk towards MBK that direction. Its estimated 2 min walk and the restaurant is on the right. 


We order sashmi and other sushi and its really very yummy!




As usual we ended our day with massage. This time round, we went to this massage parlour called Chang. It is located directly opposite Novotel At Siam. Heard that this parlour is very well known for their leg massage. Be prepared to wait for about 1/2 hour as there are many customers due to their popularity. I don't have a picture of this place as I was enjoying the massage. 

Last day and i have to prepare to go back to Singapore. I enjoyed my stay here in Bangkok and most importantly is the quality time spent with daddy bumver and our friends. 

Good night!

Love,

mummy bumver.
