Day 1 - 6 June 09
Arrived at Bangkok around 7pm, took a taxi to the hotel (apparently the taxi driver couldn't speak english. He almost took us to Chatucak market...).
Checked in to hotel (Ibis at Sathorn). The hotel was pretty new, the hotel room was small but quite nice and most importantly, clean!! But I didn't like the bed, it was too hard on my back..
After checked in to hotel, we decided to go to Suanlum market.. (night market). It turned out the market was close by the hotel so we could walk there.
At suanlum market we ate my first real Thai tom yum soup :) and Toma had chicken barberque with rice at a reasonable price... We ate in the open air food court, entertained with a bunch of Thai's singers and sexy dancers :). I think Toma was quite entertained hehehe
Day 2 - 7 June 09
Almost a whole day we spent in Chatucak weekend market.., shop shop shop...
The funny thing was, we forgot to bring our money (we stored most of them in the safe deposit box back in hotel). At first we thought we didn't need that much of money, but after looking around, and tempted by the reasonably cheap price, Toma decided to go back to hotel to get the cash hehehe..
At night we decided to check out Patpong (so-called the red light district of Bangkok). We were amazed that the clubs there were litterally "open". You could see the sexy dancers performance from the pedestrian.. We also accidentally walked in a soy (small road) where there were hotels on the side of the road and in front of them there were girls lined up to be picked up!! But we didn't spend that much time there. Maybe Toma would like to go back there with his friends =p
Day 3 - 8 June 09
Today's agenda: visit the Grand Palace..
At first we wanted to take a taxi straight to the palace, however the taxi driver said that there was traffic jam, so He won't take us there. He said we better take a riverboat tour with a price of 150 baht per person. We didn't want to take the tour, but he insisted and kindda insulted us. He said that we think to much for just that small amount of money. huh he should haven't done that!!!
Well anyway, we stopped at the nearest BTS station, and asked for information how to get to grand palace using public transportation. It turned out that we could take a riverboat from BTS Saphan Taksin.. for only about 13 baht!!! Lucky we didn't follow the taxi driver's suggestion.
We looked around the grandpalace for a while.. It was a nice palace, and the wat was so "sparkly". But it was very very hot there...
From grandpalace we decided to go to Siam shopping center and its surrounding malls :)
Day 4 - 9 June 09
We went to Siam square, MBK, and had a thai massage :) and then we headed to airport to go to Phuket...
At Phuket airport we took a minibus van (about 150 baht per person) for transfer to hotel. Checked in to Yorkshire Hotel. The hotel had a good location, only 5 minutes walk to the Patong beach and had a quite good night life but not too loud.
Day 5 - 10 June 09
Trip to Phi-phi Island, Maya bay, etc...
At first we sat on the front of the boat, i didn't like it since it was too bumpy.. makes me sick.
Afterwards we sat on the back and I felt better.
Maya bay had a very nice beach.. it was used for Leonardo Di Caprio's movie setting, The beach.
We went snorkeling, swimming and relaxing on the beach.
I had sunburt afterwards, but it was worth it!!
Day 6 - 11 June 09
Relaxed day..
Went to Simon Cabaret in the evening.
The ladyboys were very pretty... and they had a nice body, slim legs.. whoa!!
Day 7 - 12 June 09
Early in the morning we headed to the airport to go to Bangkok.
At Bangkok we took a taxi to go to our hotel, Best Western. The hotel is quite new, but small. It was a boutique hotel I think. The hotelroom was nicer than we had in Ibis, but the hotel location was not really good. It was quite far from the BTS station. But we were not complaining.. after all it was our holiday!!!
We then spent the rest of the day just mall hopping :)
Day 8 - 13 June 09
Went back to Chatucak weekend market again hehehe..
Finished up our shopping for oleh2..
After that we headed back to airport to go home..
Bye Thailand!!!
