It's my first time visiting Thailand and this is also my first time on plane.
So really 2015 I am challenging myself, I don't want when 2015 nearly end and I regret of wasting my 2015. I look through my 2015 resolution every month. Some which I had planned early but because of some reasons and circumstances so the early planned cannot be fulfill.
This is a little promise I set for myself ;
Travel, travel each year no matter far or near.
This year I went to visit Bangkok, Thailand with my lovely Zaxy. We we're quite worried before the trip started because we're both look silly, road stupid again plus the language barrier. Even our friends were so worried about us.
Zaxy usually travel with her elder sister so she don't need to worry much because her sister plan everything but now she is the elder sister for me. I guess after this trip, it will made both of us independence.
Whenever I got the chance to travel I will order myself a cup of Starbucks. #failedphoto
finally after 2 hours plus safely reaching Bangkok City.
There are more Mickey inside the Central World, so pretty, right?
Have enough Mickey, then elephant!
We saw this very big elephant outside the Central World.
We then went to apply for SIM Card at a shop named Mapas next to a shop named Magazine. I apply for TrueMove H Prepaid 3G Internet Package. This package cost me 199 baht. Valid for 7 days and up to 1.5GB but the cons is cannot make any phone call, only for internet. Not to worry to find taxi to fetch you all the way to Hotel because after exit follow the crowd to where there is a sign showed taxi. So many people are waiting for taxi, omg! Please be remind that the toll fee is bear by us not the taxi driver. The taxi driver will ask wanna take the toll or not and depend on you.
Usually take toll less traffic jam but still we reach quite late at our hotel.
We stayed at The Richy Place Guest House which is near to mall like Pratunam Market, Platinum Fashion Mall, Central World, Gayson Plaza, Big C, Siam area. But all you need to is walk, walk and walk till drop, lol. Me and Zaxy get lost on the first day after shopping at Big C.
Couldn't find our way back to Guest House. Don't worry when get lost at Bangkok. There is always friendly Thai people asking you want tuk tuk or taxi? If you just went out from market and had a lots of things carry on hand, they will approach you and ask go where? Taxi? or Tuk-tuk?
When we're taking BTS to next station we're quite confuse with the train line and standing there discuss about which line we should be in. Suddenly a pretty woman approach us and ask where to go and she said we're in the correct line. Thai people are very friendly but some was not, honestly.
On the first day, we plan to visit Central World and if time allowed we also plan to go to Big C. Both mall is near to each other just need to walk across the sky bridge. I did some research on how to go to Central World using BTS Skytrain but our guest house is very near to Central World so we suggest to just walk. Only needed to walk around 15 minutes from our guest house. Although 15 minutes but quite far too!
So I really recommended if you wanna shop til drop then The Richy Place Guest House is recommended as well as First House Hotel too. Both hotel are very near to each other. Just that First House Hotel is more to the street (you can easily see) and The Richy Place Guest House is quite inside and located above the Patunam Market. Some taxi didn't know The Richy Place but when you said The First House, some would probably know.
But I suggest that there is no needed to choose expensive hotel because mostly you stay outside to shop.
It feel so good to visit places during December because of Christmas season!! Outside the Central World we saw this Disney theme Christmas decoration, even got the tsum tsum. Thai people really did well in decoration. Light are all around the city.
We didn't go in to have a visit because we're in rush to shop, we check in our hotel around 5PM something like that already, we rest and unpack our baggage. We thought of still have chance to visit but after going to Big C we lost and lucky there is taxi nearby so we just use taxi. quite dark and as we are girls we scared too.
Spot this very cute I don't know what it is, Mr Blue Hairly, maybe?
Central World is actually quite big, that's the reason why we get lost. HAHA. And we met this Mr. Taxi. After he send us back to guest house, Zaxy asked whether he know Thunder Dome. He said yes and asked us we are going to concert right? We were like waoh, he know so Zaxy asked for the fee and he gave us his business card saying when we need him to fetch us just call. Before the trip I did some research going to Thunder Dome using the bus but Zaxy scared that we might get lost just like today so we decided just to use taxi instead although the fee is quite expensive.
This place is so pretty with light!! Thai people is very respect and loyal to their king so around the Bangkok city besides light all you see is the picture of King. Everyday during 8AM and 6PM, national anthem will be heard so we must stand straight and not moving around.
Once we're at BTS station and suddenly saw people stop moving and so I remember the fact I read at map given by the guest house owner. So immediately I told Zaxy to stop wandering around and stand straight to show respect too.
We managed to go to Big C too, like Giant or Daesco. So many snacks to buy!! From pocky, lay's, bento, also got Kyuhyun's Masita ♥♥♥ Bought some snacks for my family too~ In Big C, there are few counter only accept cash and maximum of 10 things only, so better look carefully when wanna pay. If not you queue for so long and just discover then waste time only.
Me and Zaxy bought something from Malaysia to eat and when reach here wtf so many food. We damn scared don't know what to eat because Thai's food are usually all spicy. But don't worry, there are also non-spicy food. There are three 7-11 on the way back to our guest house. Hungry? 7-11!
We love 7-11 so much, lol
