Bangkok Day 1
I am finally blogging about my Bangkok trip, 3 months later!! :X Been absolutely busy with both work and school, and I know you guys are tired of hearing that, but it is seriously omfg-damn-tiring.
Anyways, I've been wanting to get out of the country desperately for the longest time and my Bangkok trip was perfect timing. I aboslutely depressed, on the brink of suicide, when we decided to take off. My parents were really worried about my condition, but they were relieved to place me in the safe hands of my big bro and sisters.
With my roomie, waiting to board the plane!
Mad happy with the limited edition Lucky Strike's.
3 days + 10 packs - parents = fucking awesome shit! :D
Bangkok bound!
Hello Bangkok~!
The very pampered Kai and I were whining about how we shouldn't waste time and just take a friggin' cab to our hotel. But the ever so thrifty YS, made us take the train, before switching to the MTR to get to our hotel!
Being the paranoid me, I was constantly worrying about getting mugged and having my luggage stolen. At the same time, while we were on the train, we were trying to figure out how to get our SIM cards working, especially since everything was coming out in Thai -_-" But, we met a really friendly Thai resident that helped with some translation.
About 5 minutes walk from the MTR station, we finally arrived at our hotel, My Hotel@Ratchada.
Checking into our Nectarine room! :)
The room was pretty small and I had a massively tiny balcony to smoke in (lucky me cause YS didn't have one), but it didn't really matter since we weren't going to spend much time in our hotel room. What mattered most was having the basic and convenient facilities.
After settling down and washing up, we headed over to YS and Alison's room for a little bit of Belvedere and Lucky's!
Hung out for abit, before we decided to explore the streets while waiting for YS's friend to come and pick us up! :D
Boy was I glad that we did some exploring, because I friggin' got my hands on apple guava!! Which is like my favouritest fruit on earth!! *nom nom nom*
After YS's friend finally arrived, we walked towards the night market near our hotel. It was seriously amazing. First time, street stalls for dinner! (which absolutely killed my weak stomach by the way) Not to mention, I also got beaten by the mother of all mosquitoes, a good 6-8 times and my legs were swelled up!!
The bites were starting to bug me, so we ended up in 7-11, sign languaging in desperation for mopiko, but ended up with Zam Buk.
After which, it was shopping at the night market! Kai bought like a good 3 pairs of shoes within the hour and street, while I managed to nail myself a pair of pretty black flats! I was so impressed with the night market near our hotel, I didn't think that I'd be impressed with shopping at Platinum Mall or Chatuchak! :/
Now that I've barely been in Bangkok for about 6 hours or less, how do you think I'm going to fair for the next few days? :/
Stay tuned for the next Bangkok Day 2 update!
Until then, xoxo.

They don't even use no fancy cards. It's an old school plastic coin yo!
The funniest thing happened when we were at the MTR station! They had security scanners and since we had luggages with us, we had to go through a thorough security check. And to everyone's horror, when YS opened his luggage, he had tons of aerosol sprays in his bag! Like hairspray, shaving cream etc. And the security guy pointed to everything and said "GIVE ME."
The look on YS's face was priceless. He was seriously worried that his beauty supplies were gonna get confiscated! lolol. But of course, the security dude returned it to us and we were on our way to the hotel!
