Travel Asia: Bangkok

Back from Bangkok with my 3 fabulous mates - Jie, Ayu and Lyn.

It was a four days trip of unforgettable memories.

We went to Grand Palace, then took a crazy 7 baht busride to Khao San Road. We fell in love with the place immediately that we decided to stay there for the next two nights.

Sawadee ka...

I think this bus is older than bas no5A i rode in JB 15 years ago

Shopping marathon began soon as the sun set in. We made way to Khao San night market, went back to our hotel in Silom, get freshened up and head straight to Patpong with a tuk tuk already waiting. It was a crazy night for us, almost unbearable, but unforgettable. Enough said.

2nd day is a Chatuchak marathon day - the biggest sport event. 9am - 5pm: hazardous for people with a weak heart and small pocket.
But we did not manage to reach the finishing line. 15,000 gerai... gile ape! Plus it was bloody hot and packed in the afternoon.

Then The Calypso Ladyboys Show at night. Then a little shopping at Hard Rock Cafe, Bangkok.

Stupid taxi driver - caused us 400 baht and 15 minutes walk (or maybe more) to Shawn hotel...

The Thai version Marilyn Monroe

He's damn funny!

3rd day was a Kanchanaburi trekking day.The pickup was at 7am and we were taken with minibus to Kanchanaburi - started with an allied cemetry about 2 hours from Bangkok. Then to the war museum and the famous bridge over the River Kwai. Then we travelled by train along the death railway. We had a Thai lunch on a floating bamboo raft overlooking a river (forgot the name!). After lunch, we headed to the local elephant camp where we rode elephants and enjoy some traditional bamboo rafting before taken to a local waterfall and then returning to Bangkok by 6.30pm.
One word to describe: Breathtaking.

Waiting for the ride to the dead

Final day is the empty-your-pocket activity.
