Bangkok Trip.
09 October 2013
A short get away after 3/4 months.
My family and I stayed @ Baiyoke Sky Hotel and it is the WORST hotel I've ever stayed in. (We booked this hotel as it was rather an impromptu trip.) Once we went up to our rooms, I found at least 3 freaking COCKROACHES(!!!) in my room. We called the house keeping 3 times and they finally got here. They suggested us to change room, however only one room on another level is available and we did not agree, thus I demanded them to disinfect the room and clean everything again. To add on, their service is really slow/bad, their managers don't really do much, I have so much that I can complaint about. (But I'm gonna control my anger.)
MOVING ON....
We hopped on a Tuk-tuk and headed to Siam Center to have dinner @ Cafe Marmalade in the Garden.
Basil Chicken Fried Rice.
Phad Thai.
Seafood Fried Rice. Its was super duper spicy.
Green Curry with Roti.
Fries.
Famous Fried Chicken
I prefer Grey Hound Cafe @ Siam Center, next to Cafe Marmalade, we've tried that the other time.
Cindi and I were so creep-ed out by the Cockroaches that we wanted to sleep on the same bed, but it was too small. (HAHAHHA) We dare not close the curtains as we were afraid that if we touch it, we might find more..........
Their breakfast buffet was so-so, I'm not sure outsider tourists will go there just for the breakfast buffet and I've read online that people mentioned it was great. Oh well, different people, different taste. But one thing that I definitely love and found unique, was their Thai Coconut Pudding. YUM. The way they prepare is like... using those Tako-yaki mould. And it taste really unique and delicious.
We walked all the way to this famous Temple between Siam and Chit-Lom station. While crossing the road junction, there was a loud bang behind us. A lorry collided into a motorcyclist. We were really lucky, if we had walked any slower, we will definitely be in that accident. THANK GOD!!! Pheww. Another accident on the opposite side that happened earlier on.
Not really clear of the accident. But yeah, this truck collided with the motorcyclist.
After a hearty meal, we walked to Central World and Platinum Mall. The Naraya @ Central World is FOREVER filled with China Tourist. (I'm not sure why.) And it will be very crowded and squeezy. Their Cath Kidston shop is very very empty and big, unlike the one in Singapore. Quick stop @ Starbucks for coffee/tea/Cinnamon Bun. The Cashier forgot to charge me for the Cinnamon Bun and when I went back to tell him, he apologised to me. (whattt?) Oh and just so you know, their Cinnamon Bun is only 50 Bahtt, which is abour 2 SGD only. Did some shopping @ Platinum Mall then headed to Platunam(?) Market and walked back to the hotel. And yes, once Cindi and I got in the room, we found 4 baby Cockroaches. Grrrr, this really piss us off. Thank god we did not see anymore after that. Dinner at a nearby restaurant then to the night market outside our hotel. Early Grey Tea. Which they gave us some little biscuits as well. Some Fried Rice. My Fish&Chips.
Look the shoes are only 100 Baht, which is about 4 SGD!!
Breakfast was the same for the next day. We went up to the Revolving Observatory Deck in the hotel and managed to see the other hotel we stayed, Pullman King Power. Their service, security and food is super good.
We then checked out of the hotel and headed to Century The Movie Plaza @ Victory Monument station to do foot massage and my nails! The lady who did my foot massage last time, still remembers me! (: Went back to the same shop to do my nails. There were too many designs and I wasn't sure which to do so I picked one which didn't really suit me... Oh well. (HAHAHAHA.)
