so this Bangkok Trip serves as a graduation trip as well as a holiday before i enlist on June 7!
we flew by Tiger Airway in the early morning like 6am plus and i did not have any sleep the previous night! so expect to see a lot of cui photos. And it's also the very first time i am flying by budget airline and not to say to check in at Budget Terminal.
Upon reaching Thailand, we travel by rail and then by feet to our hotel. anyway we are living at Baiyoke Sky hotel, also the tallest hotel in Bangkok!
Since we are only allowed to check in to our rooms at 12pm, we deposited our luggage at the hotel lobby and starts to travel around. Our hotel is only 15 mins walk away from the nearest shopping mall platinum. but the weather itself makes it seems like a 45 mins walk. Bangkok temperature is close to 40 degree Celsius by the way which makes it a lot more hotter than our Singapore. Poh Chin's friend, Justin and Yong Qiang showed us the way around the shopping malls. the malls are all inter-linked and hence provide full shelter.

t
heir train still uses the same system as Singapore back in the olden days whereby u have to purchase your card at the automated machine and then slot it in into the gantry and then take it out again for exit purpose.
We had lunch at a nearby shopping mall near the MRT station. And this is the Thai style of Kway Chap. Spicier instead of our Singapore style which tend to be a bit salty.
our first shopping spree at Bangkok was at chatuchak market which is only open during the weekends. there were 15,000 shops in there so you guys can shop till u DROP! but the weather is so freaking hot i don't think any normal Singaporeans can take that heat! so spending the entire day there is kinda insane.

Here are some really interesting photos taken at the market. Look at how cute the guitar and shirt is! haha
the shoes that kills!
after half a day of shopping at Thailand, we went back to our hotel for dinner! INTERNATIONAL BUFFET!!!
anyway the food ain't that authentic and i don't expect much from them after all.
and that marks the end of day 1!
