Thailand Trip

Had an impromptu trip to Thailand with my sisters near mid July. We had actually intended to go but never knew when we're gonna do it, until my LW just came into our room one morning and we just spontaneously said  yes. Of course, making last minute decisions will mean having some troubles along the way - collecting passport, booking flights and stuff. We ended up booking up flights 2 hours before check-in time and collecting the passport on the day itself! Thanks sunny for sending me to the airport after printing the hotel and flight vouchers for me! < 3

Taking Tiger Airways to Thailand! I was totally ecstatic to be in the window seat even though im 21 already lol. I just never get sick taking photos of clouds and stuff. Both my sisters slept before the plane took off zzz still want to fight with me for window seat some more lehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


 While waiting to board. 'You taking a photo now right?'

 Taking a photo of this man telling us not to take photos. LOL his poses can be meme-fied HAHA

So there you go, here comes (not so) cliche photos of the clouds and sky:



Well I like this photo above because its like the sea and sky are joined together, no distinction at all.


We flew so high up( i think) that I can't even see any clouds above me.


Liwen who studied geography most among us, tells us this should be the Mekong River which is VERY long. I'm just like woahhhhhhh meanders are cool #noob

And yes it also means we reached Thailand.

And after one hour of cab ride, we reached our hotel - Grand Diamond~ I personally love it there, the bellboys were super friendly and the rooms.. WILL YOU JUST LOOK AT IT






As the hotel was located SUPER near platinum mall, we  ate dinner, walked around for a bit and we slept early for well deserved good night rest.

Woke up super early like 8am the next day and we headed off to Chatuchak,  since it's only open for weekends! Going there fully for the intention to buy dog beds and clothes. Dreaded in the first place because we didn't had a good experience there the last time - super hot and sweaty and it was uncomfortable. It was better this time though, not so hot and the toilets were clean and air conditioned!

Had super lots of ang mohs there I don't know why. We saw a group of local models posing around for pictures, I think it was for some advertising campaign or some sort. I had a very good time there and we took the local tuk tuk back to enjoy the breeze.


If you are wondering, my dogs look like this now:-


Dino Bobby


And Happy settling nicely on her new bed and clothes. She super vain so she super happy hahaha

We went back to the hotel to bath and headed to MBK. Was our first time there and we wanted to have sushi buffet thing for dinner which seems popular. But the queue was so long and the number moving so slow we decided to just settle dinner in another place instead. Went to Tepp Restaurant!





Got totally fooled by their sodas, we thought it was ice cream soda danggg. We walked around aftermath, and went over to Pantip Plaza (IT Mall) followed by their night markets and headed back for the night.




The next day, woke up super early around 8am and went to platinum mall hoping to find food. Mall just opened though so we decided to settle our stomachs at this ala-carte sushi stall. Yes we love japanese food. It was damn fresh especially the Salmon sushimi and the mentaiko OH DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN



Sitting down, joking and laughing around for a bit and off to we head to the Pratunam Market. Yes it's super close all we had to do is cross the street and walk.

The people at Pratunam Market was very excited that day you could feel it. Realised that they seem to be filming a variety show there and i asked the locals what was causing such excitement, and found out it was a popular actress which guested in that show. So pretty! Sky suddenly decided to rain so after a few hours of shopping we went to Indra Square's Black Canyon for tea-break!

Mini jawbreakers selling at their vending machines~

 Bought some doughnuts for ourselves and also the hotel staff as they helped me with the internet issue that night and bellboys were really kind and hospitable!

Shopped around the area once more before heading back to hotel to rest our sore feet. Bubbles pro HL helped prepare hot bubble bath to soak our feet in. Felt SO much better.

 Headed out again to buy food home - the coconut drink was fantabulous, and cup noodles after bathing and packing. Such a lovely and warn night.

Checked out from the hotel the next day but left our baggage at the concierge and went to Shibuya 19, this new mall (I think). Quite small, similar to the Grand Diamond Plaza in the hotel itself, and we managed to comb it pretty fast. Headed back to Pratunam and Indra Square to buy another suitcase for our buys and also Pantip plaza for earpiece before taking a cab to airport to catch our flight. Keep humming this Shibya 19 song played there and both my sisters got the song stuck in their heads after I keep singing it to them lol



 Yes, reached SG around midnight and thank god I have my dad to bring us home. Most awesome trip so far. Now I love Thailand!

PS: Wondered why I posted so fast? Because I am going to Guangzhou LATER! Yes flight at 8pm now 4.37pm BYE
