B For Bangkok! (Beeennngggkkkkoookk!!)

The unplanned trip has happened.

 And this, a super late post.

Bangkok is one of the cities Jay and I have been planning to go to. The planned Bkk trip on June has happened a bit earlier. We initially planned to take the train from Singapore but then again we thought of comfort. (Just a trivia- there's no such thing as taking the train from SG to BKK; you need to take trains from different stations and there's no train that goes directly to BKK). We were eyeing for a real vacation (which spells r-e-l-a-x-a-t-i-o-n). We have not been going out together due to conflict in work schedule, but this, truly was a wish come true.


We arrived in BKK at past 19:00 (Bkk time).

 


Charles was waiting for us in the airport with his friend who assisted us to find a good place to stay. Our first night was spent at S.D. Avenue Hotel which is at the downtown. The place? Not bad, except that we were expecting that people in the hotel could speak English well. It was pretty hard to communicate with them :( (to think that they are in the service industry). Price wise, for a night it was a bit pricey. We had dinner at a store beside the hotel. Food was superb! (sorry for not taking photos of what we had). Oh well, I don't think I can take photos with an empty stomach! Haha. 

The morning after, we were up really early to maximize our stay in Bangkok. After having breakfast at McDonalds, we headed back to the hotel and tried to look for another place to stay.

Good morning!! =)
     

There we found Baan Rangnam. Service wise, it was all good! The staff were all very nice and friendly. And the place was very clean and spacious! It was a like a one-bedroom apartment - fully furnished! Price? $1800 baht for a night. Not bad ey!

 
Happy that we found a new place to stay! Haha
   

Walking/food/shopping on my next post! =)
