Bangkok 2012 --- Part 1

Super overdue post on Bangkok trip last year October. *Oops*
It was Boyfriend and my first trip to Bangkok.
Many friends of ours are frequent visitors to Bangkok.
Always heard them telling us about the shopping, the food and places.
Finally it was our turn to experience it!

Our Travel period was from 22 Oct 2012 to 26 Oct 2012, a 5D4N trip.
We touched down at Bangkok Airport at around 12.30pm.
And we reached our hotel at around 4pm.
There were massive jam!
I guess if we didn't go by the highway, we might reached our hotel later. D;

By the way, we stayed in Glow Pratunam Hotel.
My friend told me about this new hotel which is located very near to Pratunam mall, so we decided to stay there.
It was a pleasure stay at Glow Pratunam and if I were to visit Bangkok again, I will definitely go back.!
The hotel staffs were so helpful and don't worry they can speak and understand English.


We even got this card from them which was so useful.
Due to the language barrier, some taxi drivers might not understand English.
So this is definitely a great help for us.

Back about the information on Glow Pratunam.
We booked the Deluxe Double for 4 night at THB10,000 (est. S$430).
It was spacious, room was clean and look very new.










iPhone dock which is a plus for us, iPhone users.










Opposite us is the Grand Diamond Hotel.


So I changed and headed out.
The weather outside is sunny.

We went for our lunch at Platinum Fashion Mall first.
Our friends told us that are a lot of nice food at the foodcourt.
Yes, foodcourt! You didn't see wrong. Haha..
It's located inside Platinum Fashion Mall at Level 5, if I am not wrong.






Don't ponder... This is bird nest actually. Haha..


And this is shark fin soup!
Real shark fin.
Felt really guilty eating the shark fin when we were in BKK but it was so good and cheap!!

After our lunch, we shop around the Platinum Fashion Mall.
The mall is super big like you cannot finish walking in a day.
Also, we did too much walking just in the mall and it ached my poor legs badly. :(
Never felt this way before when I was in Taiwan...




Our hotel during the night.
Pretty lights light up the hotel. ^^

Dinner at A&W.
So miss the waffles.
Why they close down A&W in Singapore? D;




Makes me hungry now....

By the way guys!
You can tailor made your formal shirt at Thailand.
Its cheaper than doing it in Singapore.
Many Singaporean guys or maybe even ladies went to custom made formal wears because you can tailor made a one of a kind shirts.

My BF found one of the good one call Paul's Fashion and it is located inside Amari Watergate Hotel.
It was near Glow Pratunam.
You can reached there less 5mins walk because its just opposite Platinum Mall.
They took about 3-4days for the clothes to be ready.

Here's what boyfriend got for himself.
I think they look good on him.









Alright part 1 is until here...
More to come.. See you~
