Pre-Wedding Trip to BKK P3

Another day in BKK :) I think I can never get tired of this place as it's fabulous for shopping :) I'm sure many girls will agree with me, heehee! As I'm blogging this, I've already booked my tickets to BKK this year, yippee! Jun said I'm hooked on BKK, which I have to admit it's very true!

We tried another 2 items on the menu - fried rice with chicken & set breakfast with omelette.

The busy BKK traffic - sometimes taking the BTS is faster than taking the cab.

Check out this cab! Fully protected from the front to the back. I wonder if this cab is too accident-prone that the owner decided to take extra precaution?

Paid a visit to the famous Erawan Shrine, where the four-faced buddha is located. The place is always crowded with tourists and locals who have come to offer their prayers.

The day was pretty hot and humid so I was dressed in a plain spag top and shorts.

The weekend trip to Chatuchak Weekend Market

love :)

Had to look out for anything cold to quench the thirst, for the sun was blazing hot that day. Thai Iced Tea came to the rescue.



The thai-iced-tea-man even performed to entertain the customers. Amazing stunt *clap clap*

Bought pork crackers, which was more commonly known as 炸猪油渣.

We chanced upon these 2 figurines for our house - even though the price was steep, we still decided to lug them back.

After hours of walking, we were tired and needed to find a place to rest and recharge.

Coconut to quench our thirst.

Lunch @ The Family Cafe - quite a lot of items were sold out, so we had to make do with what was left.

After putting our stuff back @ the B&B, we headed out to Health Land. My client recommended this place to me when I went on my 1st BKK trip and been wanting to bring Leecher to try out.

Leecher can't wait to start as his legs were on the brink of collapsing from all the walking.

We were there at almost 9.30pm and the place was still crowded.

Leecher was so happy to rest his butt on the comfy sofa.

Waiting for our turn to be called. The turn-around time is normally quite fast, as they have a lot of in-house masseurs to distribute the workload.

Tired legs from all the walking

After 1hr of massage, I felt energized and all ready to conquer another 3 days of walking, haha! Time to make our way to my fave roadside stall :)


Taking the BTS & walking across 3 streets, just for

I had 2.5 bowls of this, cuz Leecher couldn't finish his share, so I gobbled it up!

Pre-Wedding Trip to BKK P2

The good thing about the B&B where we stayed at, they served breakfast till 11am, haha! Great for lazy bums like us, who will rush down to the cafeteria at 5 mins before 11am :)

Leecher went for English breakfast - which comes with egg, bacon, ham, sausage and bread. I continued with my quest on Thai breakfast - pork with rice. Love the fragrance of the pork that Leecher had to nip some off my plate to pair it with his bread.

As usual, Leecher will always go to the tailors to tailor-made his shirts. Based on his fren's recommendation, we went to Paul's Fashion located at Amari Watergate. It was crowded with lots of Singaporeans! We had to wait for a long time to be served, as this family of 4 took a long time to decide on the cloth & the domineering wife/mother has an opinion on what her husband & son wear. Meanwhile, we saw the cloth that Leecher tailored at Ambassador Fashion. This cloth was way cheaper in Paul's than Ambassador! Wa, confirmed kena cheated. The salesperson gave us some discount (small discount but better than nothing) cuz I lamented that we waited very long, haha!

Lunch @ Platinum Mall, where I must have my mama-mee & thai ice tea. I was pretty upset that I didn't buy anything the day before while Leecher went back with 2 bags - so unfair! So today, I was bent on getting something just to curb my imbalance feeling!

Leecher with his caffeine fix in a small Nescafe paper cup & he concluded that coffee is not really that tasty in Thailand. Only mac coffee has the familiar taste that he was looking for.

Once inside Platinum mall, you won't walk out till its closing time. The string of taxis and tuk-tuk waiting outside the mall to pick up passengers.

It was drizzling lightly and the make-shift tentages were in place, providing shelter for the diners.

Trying out their local beer

The crowd is never-ending. Tables get filled quickly, by locals or tourists and on every single table, we saw this dish

So, we ordered one to try! It was a tad salty, but when paired with the condiments, it certainly whips up the appetite for more :)

Tom Yum goong - but not as spicy as I thought it would be :(

We had the mini seafood steamboat & we didn't feel very satisfied, so off we went for desserts!

Exploring the mall for a nice dessert place

In the mood for crepes :)

Too used to eating @ roadsides that seeing a proper table setting took some mental adjustment.

Original French Apple cider, which is the tradition french drink with crepes.

Playing with 自拍, whose better at it?

Nutella crepe, hazelnut chocolate and chantilly - you can never go wrong with chocolates.

Leecher ordered Chocolat-Orange - marmalade, choc sauce and cointreau liqueur.

Chocolatey desserts to end the night :)
