Photo album: CLICK HERE. Day One:- Thursday
Central World, Siam Paragon, Siam Center, MBK.Back from BKK! Had so much fun and really did enjoy the trip! Since it's not our first time to BKK, so we decided not to waste our 5 days just for shopping alone, we went for more scenery places, of cos we have enough time for our shopping!
Start with first day. Woke up at 3am plus to get ready for our flight at 7am. And guess what? we bought something at DFS, we thought we got plenty of time but when we realised, we left with like 5 mins to go on board? and our gate located at D15 or something, SO FREAKING FAR from the DFS cosmetic store.
We quickly ran to the counter to make our payment. The cashier lady was so dilly dally! We keep looking at the screen that shows "LAST CALL" for our flight, we got so panic and the cashier still can key the wrong code! Seriously ta ma de. We got no choice we ran to the gate first while peiyun waiting for the stuff at the cashier.
We managed to catch the flight. This is gonna be the last time that I rush for any flight. TMD!!
With my tigger on board! and PY's piglet.
6am at the airport, eyes cant even open properly.
Reached BKK at 9am local time. Took a cab to our hotel and we were able to check in early.
Went for lunch and start our shopping!
Had our lunch at Central World Fuji Japanese Restaurant. YUMMY.
After that we went to several shopping mall. From Central World to Siam Paragon, Siam Center, then to MBK. WALK all the way!! MEGA TIRED!
Bought our Ettusais stuff, wanted to buy others but the skincare and cosmetics are so much more expensive in BKK. sad but it helps to make our luggage lighter!
I can only remember Weiting bought more than 10 bras? SGD 300 plus. LOL. And all of us bought Havaianas slipper at Siam Paragon! the only store in BKK I think. Slightly cheaper than SG plus another 15 or 20 percent off! plus!! VAT refund for tourist.
No pictures for all the shopping places. So tired already how to take picture!
Day Two:- Friday
Ayutthaya, Pratunam, Platinam Mall, Suan Lum Night Bazaar.We woke up early at 5am plus, had our early breakfast. I love our buffet breakfast! yummy!
Took a taxi to Hua Lamphong Train Station, bought our train ticket to Ayutthaya. We bought 2nd class ticket c/w aircon at 245 baht each. The train journey to Ayutthaya from Hua Lamphong Station was about 90 mins, depends on which type of train you are taking. lol.
With the sizhu men at Hua Lamphong Train Station.
Our train ticket to Ayutthaya!
2nd class cabin with aircon. This is luxury already. Read on to get what I mean. LOL.
Andre & me.
Greeted by plenty of tuktuk drivers at Ayutthaya train station. We managed to get one tuktuk driver as our driver, charged at 600baht for 3 hours ride (one tuktuk), he can bring us whenever we want to go. I love the certified tuktuk in Ayutthaya, bigger and nicer!
We started with
Wat Yai Chai Mongkol.
Wat Yai Chai Mongkol - The Stupa of Great Victory.
Lots of buddha around there..
Wat Yai Chai Mongkol - The Reclining Buddha.
We proceeded to
Wat Phananchoeng.
There is a giant golden buddha sitting in the main hall. We just walk and look around the huge temple, patch gold leaves onto the buddha faces.. and we proceed to another stop.
Wat Maha That.
Everything build with red bricks.
and the Buddha seated along the walkway with missing head. beheaded Buddha.
Famous tree root covering buddha statue head. I guess you might not be able to see it few years later? The root already cover 3/4 of the buddha face.
After that, we went to
Wat Phra Mongkol Bophit.
yet another temple with one of the largest bronze Buddha statue.
We was quite tired and lazy to proceed to next stop, so we stop here and rest, there was an old man selling ice-cream outside the temple, we had 2 ice-creams each! yum yumlicious.
Went back to the train station at about 1.30pm.
2nd class train will be coming at 2.30pm, the train station was full of ppl, tourists and students.
We got no seat at all! and we dun wan to wait for one hour standing there.
There is another "ordinary" train with no aircon and no seat number, that means free seating. only 20 baht per person! can you imagine aircon train with seat number is 245 baht, so how lousy is the ordinary train...............
We have to go across to wait for the return train to BKK.
To my horror... we chiong-ed for seats. The train was SUPER HUMID and HOT and NOISY and whatever you can think of. LOL.
see what I mean?
Late comers will have to stand!! lucky if u get a seat half way, otherwise, stand for 90 mins. and I think this train take longer time to reach BKK. I was sweating and cursing all the way from Ayutthaya to BKK. This got to be the first and last time!
Or.. I must think positively.. it was a good experience travel on such trains with the locals, indeed. BUT I won't go for it again!! once enough.
Took a taxi back to our hotel, traffic jam all the wayyyyyyyyyy. We slept and wake up, and realised we STILL on the road. pekchek!!!
Went back hotel to bathe, then we went to Platinum Mall, glance thru coz all the shops about to close! We then proceeded to Suan Lum Night Bazaar.
We went to try our Fish Spa at Suan Lum.
