So Sunday morning was spent at the Grand Palace. Took a cab from hotel again and always feel it's so worth it. Lucky us managed to get this cab which the cabbie spoke English and became our temporary tour guide hehe. 500 THB, not exactly a very fun and interactive place. Though I gotta admit that the place was indeed very majestic, but I can skip it especially with the scorching sun. Admission fee included this Thai Coins Museum which was much more enjoyable than the palace hahaha, guess cause there was aircon and explanations of items on display.
Decided to take the boat down the river since it was recommended by cabbie. Direction zai C figured out the way of course and we had our best coconut juice along the way ｡◕‿◕｡ basically when you exit the grand palace, cross the traffic light to this street with lots of shop houses. Facing the shop houses, turn left and follow the street down. You will pass by subway along the way. The street will be filled with street market vendors, and you'll be reaching when you reach a market, with loads of blue umbrellas. Walk into the market and at the end will be the boat terminal. Look for Chao Phraya Express Boat and get the ticket which will get you to Sathorn Pier (Central) where you can board the BTS or ferry to Asiatique. The ride was rather fast and sea breeze was enjoyable. I think I enjoyed it more than Grand Palace hahaha, but definitely a worthy experience!
BTS back to Siam to have lunch at Grey Hound. Relatively empty so service was rather fast and staff were attentive. Won't say the food is superb but it is good. Wings were good but not fabulous, I hope you understand what I'm getting at (´･_･`) Won't mind going back again because food is good and definitely much cheaper than cafes in Singapore. Arrghhhhh why sg whyyyyyyy ( ≧Д≦)
Went for a round of shopping at Big C. OHMYGOD everything is so cheap here. Well food is well-known so I shall not rave about it. BUT BUT BUT I managed to get Liese Bubble Hair Dye at SDG$12 and my Matt Magique refill at SGD$8 and a new package at SGD$12. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE SG SELLS 1 AT $30. WHY YOU DO THIS TO ME I'M SO SAD I FEEL SO BETRAYED *CRIES BUCKET* SIGHHHH ): Should have went Big C earlier so I could have more time to shop and get more hauls ):
Back to hotel to rest after Big C before we cabbed to Chinatown for T&K Seafood.
Get a queue number and wait for the guy to call out your number. Don't fret if you don't know numbers in thai, because that guy in charge of calling out numbers is trilingual, he's gonna call out the numbers in Thai, English and Chinese. Got seated within 20 minutes, not a very long wait for a Sunday night.
Missed our chance to sit in the aircon, placed right beside the prawns and fishies. So here's our selfie with them while waiting for food. Thank you for serving our tummies well!
Food wasn't exceptionally good. The taste wasn't infused into them so at least the seafood was good. But for the price, I still felt the trip was worth it but C wouldn't mind giving it a miss hahaha.
So with navigator C we managed to find our way to the BTS successfully! Went back to Sathorn to take the ferry to Asiatique. If you think it's gonna be as fun as Chao Phraya Express Boat, then you're terribly wrong! It was so boring and so slow, C and I were dying from the boredom. But at least we managed to reach in one piece.
Nothing much there. Much pubs and restaurants, seems like another Clarke Quay. Nothing to buy either was everything was jacked up. So it was just about 30 minutes of walk before we decided to head back. Not coming back again, I will rather spend my time at Healthland! But you should come here at least once.
Such an eventful day I was so tired I crashed that night.
Last day in bkk, last brekkie in bkk with waffles and pancakes. Missing those pancakes now, can someone serve me pancakes flooded with honey? ):
Last minute shopping at Platinum. Last proper meal at Platinum Foodcourt. Claypot Beef Noodle was good that I forgot to take a photo of it. Only had a photo of the mango sticky rice which C raved and had 2 servings of itand got himself so bloated hahahhhaa
Back to hotel to pack and it was a mad rushhhhhhhhhh to get everything into the luggage and to check how to increase baggage weight. But the wesbite was shit was there was no option to do it even though they said there was. Someone enlighten me please. Managed to squeeze compress it till 17kg but we were so terribly late. Can't decide to cab to airport straight or to take the BTS cause we were unsure of the traffic condition and we had no time to spare on that. Luckily we thought of the express train at Makkasan which we managed to get to the airport just right on time. So much rush omg, can't imagine how it would have been if we had been stuck in a jam should we had cabbed or took the train from Phaya Thai.
Express Train was very comfy and spacious. Especially liked that it travels at high speed ((:
HOME BOUND!
