Back from BKK!! 3D2N seems so fast.. not enuff time to do/buy many things (Although I've spent all my $$ there..)
Stayed at Chaophya Park Hotel (Good Service, Clean, Good Breakfast Buffet, but just a bit inconvenient as is not situated at town)
Everything is so cheap there, fromm food to shopping and think we spent like nobody's biz.. Guessed during the 3D2N in BKK, we have turned into "Ah Sia Kias" (giving tips, going for nice meals, etc)
Taxi Meter moving soso super slow, at a starting rate of 35Baht (About $1+).. Really very hua2 suan4. Exterior of the cars are like in shocking pink, bright yellow, red, green etc. Interior of the car are new,clean and quite comfy. We are so impressed, except that the drivers here seemed to drive like they are rushing for time.... Super fast and ziag-zag here and there..
Tried the Aroma Massage at Health Land on the first day. Quite a posh place and thus, the massage is also expensive at about 850 Baht(About $40)...Nothing special. Prefer the foot massage at LEK at Siam Sqaure on Day 2. Really shiok and your tired legs really feel a lot more better after the foot massage.. Oh, it comes with a bit of head and shoulder massage towards the end. Really wakes me up. Quite worth it at 400 Baht. Will want to go there again next time.
Shopping wise, we went places like Pratuna Market/Platinmum mall (Selling Wholesale stuff at really low rates), MBK, Siam Square, and Chatuchuk Market(Hot and crowded, and price relatively more expensive..)
Food wise - Seafood @Chinatown, Shark's Fin/Bird's Nest at Nam Sing and Fuji Restuarant at MBK are the must try food...We really eat til all of us are full to the max...
Overall, we had a great shopping experience. Guessed I bot my entire year of clothes, including next CNY..
Learnt a few Thai words

"tao lai" - how much
