Travelogue: Bangkok 2013 (Day 1)

Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 & Day 4

After soooo many months of waiting I am finally going to Bangkok. Tickets and hotel was booked like at least 3 to 4 months back. A pretty long wait for me and Love as we normally book or tickets like maximum one week in advance. So we came to a conclusion that in future we will not do such early booking. Earliest will be around 1 month? Or lesser. 

Is my first time going to Bangkok. During the waiting time I did a lot of research on like what to do that and what is their operating hours for the shopping malls and many more. Overall is a pretty good experience there. 

On plane to Bangkok. 

After around 2 hours plus of flight. Here we are in Bangkok. Tadaa! Welcome to Bangkok Thailand.

Things to note: Bangkok timing is 1 hour earlier than Singapore.

Amari Watergate Bangkok

847 Petchburi Road, Bangkok 10400

Is a 5-star hotel located in the Central of Bangkok. Just directly opposite Platinum Mall. A really good location for people who love shopping as Platinum Mall is a shopping paradise for the ladies, I'm sorry for the guy. 

Big big lobby. 

Tadaa! The sleeping area, study area, sofa, tv area. Pretty big for their more basic room right? This is at least 40 square meter. 

This is the entrance when we step foot into our room. 

And not forgetting their toilet. Comes with bathtub. Shiok max. 

Their toiletries. 

First meal in Bangkok is Japanese ramen in Terminal 21. 

Terminal 21

2.88 Soi Sukhumvit 19, Sukhumvit Road

By MRT: Take to Sukhumvit Station Exit 3

By BTS: Asoke Station Exit 1

Terminal 21 is not really a place you will go shopping in Bangkok as the price is around the same as Singapore shopping mall. But I guess is a trip worth to go for the experience as the concept of the shopping mall is really different. Is a place for you to take lots of photos and bring back as a memories. But because we find the place pretty boring we left soon after we finish our lunch. 

Interesting toilet concept to put their BTS/MRT map.

Love and my loot for the first day in Bangkok. I am not a shopping person so don't expect to see me buying lots of stuff in Bangkok. 

Travelouge: Taiwan 2012 (Day 4)

Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Day 6 (pack up and come back to Singapore)

As you notice I do not have Day 3 for Taiwan. Reason? I was having high fever and ended up lying in the hotel for one whole day. I did make full use of the bed in the hotel room. HAHA!

Day 4 is when we shifted to another accommodation. Which SUCK BIG TIME! Everything about this place is horrible. Will never ever go back there to stay anymore.

Just a view of where we were staying for the last 3 night. Is called some backpacker hostel. This was a room for six. But is so freaking small that we barely have space for our baggage. So we ask for a change to a room for 5. As the lower deck is like a living area and upper deck is all mattress. But still it sucks! The aircon is making noise and it wasn't cold at all. The room is so smelly we have to spray air freshener every single night. And almost all their room is the same. No point changing. Only solution is never stay with them ever again. 

Room for 5 does not come with bathtub. But the toilet is pretty dirty too. In ECFA we shared among two rooms. Over here we shared one toilet for 5. Disaster much. Was told that this place pretty okay, but not is very bad.

Our shock face when seeing the room. 

The upper deck 

View from upper deck. 

All not being very happy. HAHA!

Free and Easy to Taipei 101. 

Taking their Metro to Jay Chou Cafe. 

Cute design in their metro. 

Finally we found this place. 

Loots from some night market. Finally I see us buying stuffs. 

And not forgetting we drinking KOI almost everyday. 

My loots of the day.
