Every time we left the hotel it was like playing a game of dice. We never really knew where we were heading or where we would end up.
Walking along the never ending walls of the grand palace along the busy road where old meets new.
We happen to chance upon the Ministry of Defence headquarter.
Further up was a huge empty and dirty looking field which I found out was the Royal field of Bangkok.
Seemed more like a Parsa Malam to me!
From there we took a tut-tut to Khao San Road
This stretch of road is rather similar to the famous Chatuchak weekend market except that it is opened every day from 7pm onwards. This was also where we spent most of our evening and nights.
Shopping
Eating Phad Thai.This simple dish is nirvana.
Enjoying cold drinks at the side of the street.
Pretending to be Tut-Tut drivers.
When I was young I remember turning on SCV and seeing this Ang Mo TV presenter eating fried insects and dog meat.
I told myself, “one day I’m going be like him.”
There were so much to choose from I told the vendor. Give me little of everything you had.
My snack for that night while Huda did her medicure. Fried Crickets, meal worms, Bettles and some bugs. Let just say I managed to finish one set of everything before I threw the whole bag away. What a bummer.
Through the weaving traffic and bustling streets we found ourself in Pratunum market which is located very near to the Baiyoke sky hotel.
While crossing one of the bridge pass a canal we saw another unique part of their daily commuting means, The long boats.
We actually hopped onto one thinking it was free because no one were paying anything BUT just when the boat was moving off the boatman started collecting fares from everyone. We had no idea where we were heading and the signs were all in Thai with very limited english translation. Sensing that there was going to be a communication breakdown between the boatman and me. We hopped the hell out to avoid attracting too much attention. Phew!
Everything in the world has at least one imitation in Bangkok.
And boy are they proud of it.
There was this one hotel which was so tall we could spot it from almost everywhere we went.
83 storey high up!! Damit I found out clara checked in this hotel recently while in BKK. Bloody hell. Its like saying eh you pay money to come visit my place ah? wahahhaaha
It was hard taking a nice and solid shot because the lighting was dope and the top was constantly revolving.
Part 3 will come in awhile. I need inspiration to write la….I’m sick + I’m busy working for my birthday trip to bali with Huda + 101reasons
