I'm back :) (yea...already been two weeks back in my town)
And, below are some of my pix to share with you guys ;)
Location : Bangkok
Date : 21Nov09 ~ 25Nov09
The first day arrived and it was already very late evening, so did not go else where, but back to my relative's home once finished our dinner.
The next day, also did not go elsewhere special, because it was somebody's big day!!
It was my great grandpa's 101st birthday.
The place was held in one of the Hakka's Chinese Hall in Bangkok's Chinatown.
(the place is specially chosen because we are Hakka and it was one of an historic building in Chinatown)
And the dinner & celebration went on for the whole night and when we were back home, it was quite of tired because we'd been busying around since the afternoon.
On the 3rd day of my stay in Bangkok, I get to know a new friend, name TiKi.
She is my uncle's girlfriend. She is nice and warmth.
Bringing me around for shopping.
(a-hem, later when you read more, you'll see here beautiful face in my blog)
She brought me to the wholesale market, name "Platinum World"
(I guess... cuz' I did not jolt it down, just by memory :p)
The place is in building and some shops are on the street, many people there!!
The tut-tut car, which is one of the well-known public transportation in Thailand, and also a river. (the name of the river is not been told, and I nearly stopped by TiKi from taking the pix...hehe...she claimed that "don't snap, the river is dirty"
My comment is, "no so... it's something!!" hehe :p
My comment is, "no so... it's something!!" hehe :p
At there, many shops selling clothes and souvenirs. They are all selling at an affordable price.
I bought many things and some cute little elephants for souvenir to my friends.
Outside the complex, there are three goddesses and are famous one, especially praying for love. Was told that people come here with 9 roses to make the wish.
I know you guys must have asked if I made any wish... hehe... I did not... I only take a pix there. :p
At there, also many beers having their booth set up for Christmas celebration and also there are some 'live' band going on at night time.
And, I like this one, the mural , by Tiger's beer.
Outside of the shopping complex, the place also decorated with many Christmas stuffs.
With cool weather (this time the weather in Bangkok is cool and make me feel happy and not feeling "sticky" even after many walking) I really enjoy staying there and have the Christmas' feeling.
The tallest Christmas tree in the city
Here is my new girlfriend, TiKi. She is beautiful, isn't she ?
Then, we went into the shopping complex, and heading for eating our lunch, at about 4pm...
And, she recommended me to eat steamboat at MK Restaurant (told that it was one of the most famous steamboat restaurant in Thailand)
And, I agree with that, because the sauce is really nice!! ** yummy **
The MK has many branches, and the one we went is "Central World Shopping Complex"
On the way going to take BTS (one of the public transportation in Bangkok, it can interchange with MRT, underground train) to another place... (so sorry, I don't know the place's name either...)
Making a plain visit...I mean, just visit , without knowing where is it... :p
I just go because been brought to go...hehe :p
~ cut the crap~
So, on the way, I saw another an Hindu's Goddess and many people are praying
There is a Thai traditional dancing too... see it ?
After that, we went to ...err... (sorry, I forgot the name of the place)
But, I snapped a number of pix to share with...
And, the most unforgettable is a shop selling toast and milk.
The toast is very delicious!!
I even bought milk ('sala' milk and also the sweetened milk) and also the coconut kaya to be brought home.
If not mistaken, the shop is named "Mont" , something like that~~ , it was since 1964.
Many celebrities came here too!
Sorry, after walking the whole day, it was like 8pm, my face betrayed me!
I'm tired, especially my legs.
After the night "tea-time" with milk & toast, we walked past the Independence City... some monuments like that, was the place like preserved as heritage place.
Also, went to the famous night market too.
And, the next day, I went to the wax museum.The place's name is "Thai Human Imagery Museum".
Snapped some pix... included the life-like sculptured figures, like the famous Buddhist monks/priest.
One of the favourite past-time in Thai is playing chess.
Thai Culture : Show of Thai's culture in games, both for children & adults, namely Hua Larn Chon Kan, Khee Chang Chon Kan, Cham Chee, etc...
The former monarchs of the Chakri Dynasty. There are past 8 kings of this dynasty.
And, also some famous historic figures like Gandhi, Winston Churchill, Pranboon, etc... and, I chosen to snap together with Abraham Lincoln.
Thai Literature famous figures : "Phra Abhaimani", a story by the great Thai poet, Sunthorn Phu, who was awarded the totle of "World Poet", by UNESCO.
Then, we went to a place to eat, where the place is right behind a market, and it was built on a platform which is on a river...
In the market, many special foods like "rice in bamboo, dodol, coconut pancakes, thai's special made pineapple biscuits, nuts, cuttlefish, etc..."
And, I snapped a guy stirring the nuts...
And, the next day...haha... yes, I'm preparing to be back in Penang.
Yes, I miss Penang everyday!!
I never been so homesick, but, this time's trip really make me super homesick...
I wonder why~~
Anything... hah!
Here is the grand Suvarnabhumi Airport, in Bangkok!!
The departure terminal
Churning the Ocean of Milk – centerpiece in the departure terminal
Thanks for your time spent in my blog~~
err... this time, I apologize for giving such a lame report of my trip...
But, to be frank, like I said, I miss home everyday, so I don't really enjoying my trip this time...
So, until my next holiday... which will be on 18-Dec, at Genting Highlands, I'll share more!! :)
Take good care!
