after reaching MBK... we went to walk walk... then settled for our meal at Oishi Teppanyaki... we had the teppanyaki the last time we came to BKK.. and i really missed the taste... hehe... so nice.. but then .. was bz eating and forgot to take pics again... after eating... we went walk walk again... and then back to the hotel for resting... cos was quite tired after the plane ride... i will cry and sniffer on the plane... cos... when it goes up or lands.. the air pressure will make mi feel beri not well.. and migraines will "seek" for mi...
Friday - 13/6
We woke up quite late in the morning... and we missed the breakfast... but aniway... went thru reviews of the hotel, the breakfast was not that good though... so missed also nvm.. haha... we walked to Platinum Wholesale center which was fortunately quite near our hotel... along the way.. we experienced BKK famous traffic jams ..sometimes i quite admire BKK drivers... their drving techniques... can be quite power sometimes.. no matter how small the lane.. they can also squeeze thru...and they can zip in and out of traffic so smoothly... if u can drive in bangkok.. i think u can drive aniwhere in the world... LOLHubby on the overhead bridge...
and 1 thing i like about BKK? the cabs are so bright and colourful... purple.. green.. blue... and pink! i wan pink cabs in SG too... LOL
after reaching Platinum...we wanted to have lunch.. but then... couldn't stand the smell lingering in the food court... so ended up eating KFC...then we went ard to shop shop for the whole afternoon.... Platinum has 5 storeys for shopping... and it's really big... each storey has lotsa shops... after combing 3 storeys... i was beri tired... decided to take a short rest... and we ended up at Swenson's... and ordered ice cream.. hehe... to battle the hot weather... and we slacked there for a while...
my half eaten icecream sundae.... Hubby enjoying his "Topless 5"~
After resting... we went back to comb the remaining 2 storeys... and bought more things again... then we went back to the hotel.. put our things.. and went back to the hotel cafe for dinner... and i ordered a tom yum set... hoping for nice and spicy tom yum soup.. but then... 1st tom yum disappointment for the trip.... T.T
