BKK Trip with Leecher Nov 2012 P3

Monday, yet again. Welcome to a new blog layout, haha! Yes, itchy-fingers me decided to change the blog once again - wanted something simple this time round, to balance out the huge pic posts in this blog, hahaha! Anyway, continuing from Part 1 & Part 2 of our BKK trip :)

We woke up in time for breakfast - how awesome is that?! Haha, when staying in Tango, I don't usually wake up in time for breakfast *guilty face of sleeping in late*
 

 

#ootd! Dressed in top & shorts for we are heading somewhere :) 

 New items on the menu - spaghetti and chicken drumlets. Forgettable taste though. 

 

The staples in Tango - choose what kinda eggs you wanna with the set. 

 

Cheeky Leecher enjoying his eggs. 

 Time to head out again! I found a short cut from the hotel to the railway station *pats on back!*

 Waiting for a safe moment to cross to the other side, so time for pictures, haha!

 

The tracks that we had to cross to get to the station. 

 Stopped for a picture too!

 

The bad thing about staying @ Tango is that the location is not close to any of the BTS station. Previously, we'll walk to the nearest BTS station and take the train from there. For this trip, we decided to pamper our legs and did less walking, which means more money is spent on transport. Taking the train from Ratchaprarop station was what we did everyday. 

 Sunny day, so out came the shades :)

Using coin token for the journey, for this was part of the Airport Railway Line.

 

Here comes the train! The service runs daily from 6am till midnight.

 Check out the wkend crowd! The BTS ticket machine (which accepts notes) was down. The other older machines only accepts coins & the best part is - you can't buy your train tickets from the service counters. You will have to queue up at service counters to exchange your notes for coins, then queue again at the ticketing machines to buy your tickets. Quite "duh" right?

Back at Chatuchak - the must-visit place for Leecher whenever we stayed in BKK over the weekend. His shoes paradise, so he claimed, haha! Well, as for me, the 1st thing that I did was to .......

Shopping time! Who can resist shopping?

 

Must have @ Chatuchak! 

Always fascinating to watch how the drink is being prepared.

 

Perfect drink in the hot weather :) 

 

Walked past the pets section and the dogs were so cute! Bought a new toy for Gummi :) 

 

More purchases! Getting the strap fixed so that it can fit on my waist.

 

Leecher now hated these watches, for I always have to seek his help when wearing them, haha! Troublesome watches, he coined.

 

Pet dog from one of the stall owners. He was sooo grumpy for he couldn't get his sleep from all the customers in the stall. 

*******
Have to stop for now, heading to bed after a long day @ work .... need the comfort of my huggies :) tata! 

BKK Trip with Leecher Nov 2012 P2

Continued from P1. My 2nd home in BKK - Tango, haha! As usual, we missed breakfast, but fret not - Leecher already had somewhere in mind on where he wanna go.

Love the mirrors outside the lift - great place to check your outfit and take #ootd pics :) 

 

  Crossing the bridge to the other side & Leecher had to steal my Meiji Chocolate milk!

 

Leecher insisted that he wanted to try Fuji Japanese restaurant, for he didn't try it previously and was feeling sore that I came with the girls without him. 

 

Happy Leecher flipped through the menu, only to pass it to me later for the ordering, DUH! 

The usual table setting, with condiments.

 

 

 Ordered a few dishes to be shared b/w us. Energy lvl at all time high as we set off to conquer Platinum mall, haha!

Fuji Japanese Restaurant
Platinum Mall, lvl 6 

 

 Leecher enjoying his shopping - he bought way more than me this time round!

 

 

Shopped all the way till night time. Bought only a few items, less than 10! Uber proud of myself :) Famished, we went searching for dinner!

 

Saw this stall near an alley, so decided to stop by for dinner. 

 

I have no idea what we were eating, so we just order noodles and let them decide the rest. The beauty of streetfood - you won't know what you're getting esp if you don't speak the language.

 

We were really sitting in the alley, with cars passing us as we ate! 

 

The Thais are really generous with their vegetables, much to my dismay :( 

 

Must try otah from some random stall. Spicy yet yummy!

 

Leecher still in the mood of shopping.

        

 

I ventured off to buy some snacks - saw this fried chicken stall and joined the queue. Take a plastic bag, filled it up and pay accordingly. Different prices for different chicken parts. Unfortunately, the chicken pieces weren't piping hot ... tasted cold and oily :( 

 

 Beer gardens, outside CentralWorld Bangkok! This event was unable to operate last year cuz of the floods. Outside Singha venue, was tempted to go in and try, but I'm not a beer fan.

 

This place has better music, but lesser crowd. In fact, only 3 tables were occupied. What a shame, for the music was really good. 

 

No beer, headed for Starbucks, haha! 

 

The card that I got from the airport, don't waste it. 

 

Chilled out at Starbucks, just to rest our tired feet. Been walking the whole day and I was dying for massage! Have to endure, cuz already booked an appt for full body massage tml :)

 

Was famished again, so dragged Leecher in search for the mama-mee stall. The problem with street vendors is that they seldom stay at the same place :( The mama-mee stall was gone, so we settled for another stall instead. 

 
 

Very much like our version of fried kway teow. 

 

Walked back to the hotel and saw the 1st Xmas lighting outside Novotel, a reminder that Xmas is coming!
