Bangkok Trip (Day 1)

Before i start all the description on my Bangkok trip, let me just say a little about HOW i manage to get tickets to bangkok???

Well, it was like this...in december 2005...Air Asia was kind enough to offer 2 million FREE tickets to all the destinations for the whole of 2006...





When someone came out with the idea of going to Thailand... to tell you the truth, i wasnt really keen on it cos my impression of Thailand has always been of a place where bad people lurk around the city...wahahahaha..

You cant blame me what with all those Singapore movie series always potraying bad people coming from Thailand :P

However, the whole thing changed when someone told me that Bangkok is a really good place for shopping...bad people put aside...im going to Bangkok!!

Red Sponge who was so eager to go to Bangkok too after hearing of the free tickets...almost immediately went online to book for tickets.

Can you ever imagine tickets from Kuching-KL-Bangkok-KL-Kuching could only cost less than rm300??????

We were all drooling when we heard how cheap it was!!

But then, there was a little sacrifice we had to make for those free tickets...

The transit period in KL is from 11am till 6pm O_o



Lurverly nasi lemak on Air Asia! It is nice! :)

Its quite impossible to spend so many hours in the new Low Cost Carrier Terminal ... so cia lat la 'x'

So we had to take the SkyBus from LCCT to KL Central... and then from there we went shopping at Sungei Wang lor...

Lucky thing, our luggage are taken care of by a luggage service in KL Central for only RM5...or else,i think our arms would be separated from its socket by the time we reach Bangkok...

After a tiring walk around and around Sungei Wang... it is time at last to board our plane to Bangkok.

By the time we reached LCCT, i felt that our holiday has already ended...cos we were exhausted already!! Even before we reach Bangkok..my goodness...certainly not a good beginning to a HOLIDAY...wahahahha



So after a 2 hour plus flight ... we are FINALLY at Bangkok International Airport!!! Woohooo...Red Sponge and I , we were both really HIGH by the time we reach there that we couldnt stop giggling when we heard the announcers speaking in Thai...teeheehheh...

And oh btw...Bangkok International Airport is really HUGE...so many gates,so many planes... woooooo...so many people too!

There were over 20++ immigration clearance counters in the airport which each counter having at least 20++ people in queue.

Ok .. so i m quite sakai...so anyway...

When we reached the airport...our tour guide was already waiting for us and surprise surprise..he speaks MANDARIN...and perfect mandarin too!! 'x'

Where should i dig my face and hide??? My mandarin is so so la...i can hear and speak and i m totally blind when it comes to reading chinese characters.But here is a Thai who speaks excellent mandarin...so good, i have difficulty to understand...shid!

So anyway,first stop......................Dinner~~~~

Where???? Here..............

Had our first tom yam!!!....MMMmMMmMmM....quite ok la...not terrribly nice...wahahah. Will post a pic of the authentic tom yam soup later on ...all the tom yam looks quite similar, no point to post all of them rite??heh...

After that, we were brought to our hotel which is situated near Bangkok Chinatown, the Grande Ville Hotel. So sorry,no pics...i was really too tired when i reached the hotel that i just couldnt wait to try out the bed...

But , my fellow travellers are not tired yet!!! They stil wanto go out and walk...wahahahah...

Not wanting to miss out on Bangkok ....i tagged along lor...

We went to...

There were some sort of a night market there...and we walked and walked and walked..and there were people left,right,up,down,behind....they were EVERYWHERE...

It was so crammed that sweat came down like bullets...yearghh.....i just couldnt bring myself to snap some shots cos it was just too crowded...

Once or twice i almost got knocked down by a lady pushing a trolley full of HOT oil~~!

So i really had to keep my eye wide open in order to avoid any mishap...hahaahah

At the end, i m not sure whether they were too tired to walk back to our hotel or they wanto try out the tuk tuk...or maybe both! But its a good thing!
Tuk tuk is certainly a convenient and affordable and not forgetting to mention FAST mean of travelling in Bangkok!




You dont even need aircon when you r in the tuk tuk, the wind blowing on ur face is enough! hahaha...needless to say, it is rather scary for us sakai kia to sit on a 'open-air' 'car'. Someone *ahem* was shrieking almost the whole way from Chinatown to our hotel...wahahahah

I got it on video...but thanks to stupid ol me...i accidentally delete it -_-"

Back to our lovely hotel room....time for a very very very very much needed zzzzzzzzzzzssss

But!!! Our eventful day did not end there!!

I was awaken by the sound of some people talking,giggling REALLY LOUD...i tot it was from the tv but the tv wasnt on !!! O_O

I was too tired that i couldnt even bother to check out the source of the noises and went back to sleep...

I only found out on the next day that it was no spook...just the next door neighbours having some errrrrrrrrrrrr FUN...

Hello helloo!! I would appreciate it if they could do their 'business' quietly for g'ness sake!!
