------------------
Day 2 in Bangkok

Breakfast buffet at 43rd storey in the hotel.. food is not bad oh..

dad hired a van to chauffeur us around.. brought us much convenience..

Chatuchak Weekend Market... Good bargain place!! =)

MBK shopping centre.. Crowded place but it's a very big shopping area oh..

-------------------------------
Day 3 in Bangkok

Breakfast buffet again.. breakfast for 3 days are free lah.. included in our tour package.. so of cuz will be eating there every morning.. hahaz..

43rd storey view of bangkok...

off to Central World.. A high class shopping centre with branded stuffs.. nothing much to shop too cuz it's new and many shops not open yet.. disappointing trip there..

took some pics while strolling around in Central World.. one good thing abt it is tat it's air conditioned... super hot outside so it's a good place to cool ourselves in.. hee...

Notice tat Mr McDonald is positioned in a typical thai greeting style.. different from other McDonalds... so customized.. hahaz!!

lunched at a jap style restaurant in Central World... food is cheap too.. haa...

my cousins couldn't resist the arcade games outside the restaurant.. so muz let time play a while to satisfy their wants..

wanted to go to chinatown to haf seafood for dinner but it was super crowded because of the CNY celebrations.. and the heat was unbearable too.. so din get to haf seafood.. instead drank a lousy birdnest.. boo..

special request by my cousin to pose with the elephant.. it was actually outside pan pacific hotel oh.. did some shopping nearby at Robinsons Shopping Centre.. isolated place with not much shoppers.. totally different from Robinsons in S'pore lo..

went to PP night market as recommended by my cousin.. but it was such a lousy place.. prices are high and no clothes suitable for us.. even the market near our hotel is better than PP.. strongly advise all not to go there oh...
------------------------------
Day 4 in Bangkok

makan again in the morning... breakfast is always the time for photo taking cuz all the elderly are taking forever to eat.. oops..

shopping around near our hotel... realized tat there are many wholesales shops around... can get cheap clothes.. plus some bargaining skills.. definitely able to bring price even lower! =)

Waiting to check out of the hotel.. more luggages to carry back now... but i'm happy to see my luggage being fully packed... hoho~

nua-ed around the hotel lobby while waiting for the bus to fetch us to the airport.. but realized tat we saw the time wrongly.. had another hour more to go after waiting for an hour.. so decided to go haf lunch at a cafe in the hotel..

prices are relatively cheap.. but taste wise is so so.. prefer the food from thai express.. hahaz..

these two masks were hung on the toilet doors in the hotel lobby.. so kawaii~~ but can't differentiate male from female leh.. how to know which toilet to go to??

departing bangkok... terrible last day in the airport.. cuz the plane was delayed for almost 3 hours due to some technical fault.. was supposed depart at 5pm but ended up leaving at 8 plus.. and because its a budget airline.. we couldn't go shop around the airport cuz muz queue up to book seats lo.. ended up spending almost $100 on sushi and sandwich for dinner.. lousy tiger airway.. dun wanna take budget airline again le lah.. boo!
-------------------------
some more random pix from Bangkok trip




-------------------------

saw dunkin' donuts in bangkok.. a competitor of Krispy Kreme donut.. did a case analysis on Krispy Kreme juz b4 the trip.. hahaz.. din get to taste the donuts.. wad a pity..
-----------------------------
Finally.....

here's my 收获for the trip... not much considering that it's shared by the two of us.. but it's enuff to satisfy le since the trip is fully sponsored... including all shopping expenses.. =)
i definitely wanna go back to shop in Bangkok again next time.. shopping trip is better done with frenz than with family.. cuz young and old dun shop much lah.. but overall it's a new year well spent!!!
