Bangkok Day 1 + Day 2

We landed at Don Mueng (DMK) International Airport around local time 2pm. Please bear in mind that there are two international airports in Bangkok - Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueng. Airasia flights land in Don Mueng while the others land in Suvarnabhumi.

Me. in the taxi. Costed us around THB 220 to reach our hotel. 

The hotel we were staying in - Furama Xclusive - Asoke. Quite convenient though because it is really near to BTS, MRT and also Terminal 21 shopping complex.
The distance was like 5 mins to MRT, 5 mins to BTS and 5 mins to Terminal 21.
Service level = GREAT to the max.
We were encountered weak WIFI signals in our room, after 10mins of the complaint, the hotel staff came up to our room, and brought us a wifi router to put it into our room for better signals. Walao eh, this is exclusive.. really!
Not to say that, they greet us every time they see us, and also help to press the lift when we were back to the hotel with our hands full of shopping bags.
Very nice!
Room rate can be differ due to the season. We booked the room at around RM160 for a night at the not so peak season. 
What we were not really happy was just the air-conditional was not really cooling. Did our complaint as usual (ya, we love to complain), and technician has done all sort of checking but it's still a little bit warm.
This was the only bad thing during our stay in the hotel.

This was how our hotel's room look like. Not bad compared to the two we stay during Osaka and Kyoto trip, according to Fatty.


This is the restaurant we went for lunch during our first day in BBK. It's located in Terminal 21, food were really awesome!

We ordered Sambal Vegie, River Prawn Tomyam and also Lemon Steam Sotong!
All were awesomely and perfectly done.
We ranked the food here as Number 1 throughout our trip in BBK.
Please give it a try if you are in Terminal 21.
Price wise just standard. Costed us around RM70 for two persons.


After our lunch, we just spent some time walking around Terminal 21.
This shopping center was designed into different city in each level. Quite nice and interesting thou. Not bad to shop too. If you found something really nice here, please buy it. Perhaps you will never find it after this and you will have to regret.
Just me posting before departure to Hollywood.


Fatty and me. Posting in front of the "Golden Gate Bridge".

Just Fatty busy shopping for his clothes.

Tried MOS burger and hmmm... not up to our expectation. 
This was how my burger looked like. Hmm... not really appetising.

Alright, these summed  up our first day in BBK.

Let's continue to our Day 2 entry.

This was me waiting for the train, heading to Siam Square. 

This was how the train station looks like. Pretty clean and organised.

The BTS ticket.
To buy the ticket, you have to change paper money into coins. The ticket machine only accept coins.

Walking, heading to Central World. Weather for me was bearable, but for Fatty was just HOT HOT HOT.
(p/s: with my Kate Spade Saturday bag, bought it in Japan, nice right?)


Central World really a big shopping complex, anyhow, not much crowd on the day we went, and we found nothing to shop in here. (at least, not my interest)

Only went to Boots and shopped for "Soap & Glory" hair conditioner.
Tell you, the price for Soap & Glory in Thailand is much cheaper compared to Msia. :)
I'm using the conditioner currently, and the smell is really good!

Had our lunch in NARA, located at Level 7, in Central World.
( got to know this restaurant from Boey's blog.. :p)
While the food was just around expectation, it was a little bit pricey.

Sambal Morning Glory.
Pho. (Beef noodle).
Seriously, I loved the soup very very much!
Another Pho. (Spicy type Beef noodle)

Bangkok Street View.

Resting in Starbucks. hehehe.. Orange Soda was Fatty's and Green Tea Latte was mine :)
Guy's nightmare - Platinum Mall.
Not much of purchasing because most of the clothes are for wholesale. 
You have to buy at least 2-3 pieces then only you can get cheaper price.

Then, we took a Taxi from Platinum Mall to Siam Paragon.
Ta ma de, the was a line for us to Q up for Taxi, and there was a coordinator to get Taxi for you. 
Was cheated by the coordinator because for a such short distance, the journey took us BTH 200!
Aih... Cant complain anything for this time.

Had our dinner in the famous SOMTAM. Environment was nice, meanwhile the food was just okay.
Their main outlet is located in Siam Square Soi 5, meanwhile the one we went was the branch located in Siam Center.

Somtam means papaya salad.
 When the name Somtam, it means the papaya salad is the must try if you are having your meal in Somtam.

They are famous for their fried chicken too!

Had ordered the soup and spicy soup too!

Just me enjoying my food. Yum Yum Yum.

After meal, #letustakeaselfie time. Took a lot photos infront of Siam Paragon. :)

Then, we went to Thong Lor via BTS for the very famour Mango Sticky rice. :)
How to get there? 
Take BTS and stop at Thong Lor station, exit Exit 3. Once you walked down, go straight to the junction and turn left and walk straight until you see the shop.

Me again posting infront of whole stack of Mangoes...

That's all for my Day 1 and Day 2 in BBK.

Shall continues for Day 3-5 in later post.
