I went for a bangkok trip last Sun with my mom and her friends. 3 days 2 nights trip. All i can say about Bangkok is :
-Shopping Paradise, especially the Chatuchak ( weekend market )and Siom Rum Night Market. You can get almost everything under one roof. Souvenirs,flowers,kitchen stuff, bags,CLOTHES, from the smallest thing to the biggest thing. EVERYTHING! Btw,the things there are cheap,reasonable and affordable. That actually keeps me buying for more and more stuff! OMG. The first day we went to Bangkok,we spent 4++ to 5 hours ( excluding lunch ) in Chatuchak and about 2-3 hours ( including dinner at a fine dining restaurant, we ordered so many foods and the most popular and MUST-TRY in Thailand is Tom Yam Gung with lobsters) in Siom Rum at night. How cool is that? My leg is damn tired but still have to walk. The shopping complexes like Platinium Fashion Mall ( 6th floor!! 4 hours on that + 2-3 hours ), Central World ( about 3 hours) and MBK ( almost like Sungai Wang, about 3-4 hours there). From the 'hours' you see,i guess you already know how shopaholic we are!
-Good food, yeah,the must-try Tom Yam Gung. Its very popular in Thailand. Its so original and taste a lot better than KL. Definetely a must try food in Thailand. haha. Other foods like pineapple fried rice, and fried food is not bad as well. The other must-try drink,is COCONUT! we had our coconut bird nest at a restaurant,and its only 500 baht ( RM50 ). For us,its cheap and affordable. haha
-Taxis and 'tuk-tuk'. Taxi are our daily transport. We use it everyday and everywhere we go. Believe me,the fare is not expensive. The BEST PART is, the 6 of us have to get into 1 taxi!! 1 infront and the other 5 at the back seat. So,its really hard to get in. And some of our leg cramps too. We cant even move. But still,its a very memorable and fun journey. I dont think we are allowed to do that in KL, without seatbelts. Haha. The drivers is polite and friendly too, which you wont see drivers like that in KL. if you know what i mean. The 'tuk-tuk' there is dangerous and risky. I heard from my mom's fren and she said that they could bring you into a 'lorong' and ask for your money. They might even hurt you if you dont. Eventhough a man also,they wont scared. So,we rather take the taxi even we have to pay more. Besides,the way they drive is dangerous and risky. Fast, unstable, driving recklessly and without following the rules. Dont feel that safe. 'Tuk-tuk' is actually a motorcyle in the front and 3 seats behind. dunno how to describe. haha
Thats basically what i think i should post it here.
