4D3N Bangkok Trip (Day 4)

So sad because it's the last day of our 4D3N trip at Bangkok today. Lalala lalala we're going to the Bangkok Sealife Ocean World at Siam Paragon today.

First Destination: Central World

Took a walk using the sky bridge to go over to Central World and it happens to have a food carnival here where we can sit back and enjoy some of the famous delicacies. Ordered the mango sticky rice and coconut ice cream to fill our stomach first. Hehe I really love the food here.


Second Destination: Lunch & dinner at Siam area

We're so so hungry that we head straight to A&W over at the vicinity of Siam Square to have our lunch. Ordered the two pieces of chicken with twister fries and Root beer float to complete our experience here lol. But it was quite a disappointment as the chicken really wasn't nice anymore as compared to Jolly Bee or Texas chicken. 





Third Destination: Bangkok Sealife Ocean World

Hehe so happy that we can go to the Ocean World because I really love to see animals alot hehe. Our tickets for the Ocean World is only 620 Baht per person as part of the promotion of the sim card that we got from Singapore Changi Airport. So happy because the normal ticket for tourist is 990 Baht per person.



My silly cute girlfriend

The Glass Bottom Boat ride where we get to see the many fishes and sharks swimming past us on a 5 minute boat ride haha

Took a quick snap of our photo that was taken by the staff at the front entrance because they are selling the photos at such a high price.

Fourth Destination: Collection of tailored shirts and back to Singapore

What a exciting trip at the very last hour as we took the Tuk Tuk to rush through the heavy traffic during the peak hour where everyone is heading home after work. Went to collect my tailor shirts and pant at Alex's Fashion and getting the hotel to book a taxi for us to rush to the airport. We were so late behind that we are constantly sweating in the taxi when the cars barely move an inch due to the heavy traffic jam. This taught me a lesson - Never book a return flight in the evening when I return to Bangkok the next time round haha



Safely landed in Singapore with Momo :)

4D3N Bangkok Trip (Day 3)

It's day 3 of our Bangkok trip and we decided to make some changes to our itinerary where our initial plan was to go sightseeing of the various temples followed by having some shark fin and bird nest at Chinatown area. So we decided to just walk over to Siam area and do some shopping instead of traveling all over lol. Lalala it's such a breeze to walk from our hotel all the way to Siam area by using the sky bridge. 

First Destination: Siam Square, Siam Paragon and anything Siam hehe

The crazy traffic


Chill over a nice coffee at Starbucks @ Gaysorn Shopping Centre

Yeah finally after walking for like 15 minutes we arrived at Siam area where there's so many shopping malls here like the Siam Paragon, Siam Discovery centre, Siam Square etc. Awesome place to walk around if you ask me. 

The silly girlfriend with Tom Cruise

When the girlfriend wants to prove that I can't go through the gap at one go T_T

So sad that the Line Village is not open yet and there's no news when it will open too.

The very tasty cheese toast from Say Chiizu Toast is so crispy :)

Hehe us fooling around and making the duck mouth face

My favourite Star Wars but too bad toys here at Bangkok are generally more expensive as compared to Singapore. I think Carousell app and Metro 20% sales are still the best hehe

Us with all the bear family. I really love all the bear soft toys hehe


Second Destination: Rod Fai Night Market 2

Hehe we're going to Rod Fai Night Market 2 again because we felt that's the best place for us to shop for nice food and things to bring back home. Tried this Tom Yum soup with Lobsters which was so heavenly shiok because we finally found a Tom Yum soup with no coconut milk. Love the cheap drinks and many other food here too hehe. 





Third Destination: Talad Neon Downtown Night Market

We're back at the Neon night market for our dinner and some drinks since it's way cooler to have our dinner here and there's lesser crowd too. Really love this place, it's like there's everything we need over here. We even made our own passport holders and a staff pass holder for myself lalala. 



What a coincidence to even meet my ex colleague here in Bangkok. What a small small world :)

Time to tuk tuk back to our hotel

4D3N Bangkok Trip (Day 2)

Had a very nice hotel breakfast before we set off for our itinerary for the day. Walk over to the Naraya outlet at Central World to get some bags back for the family. I seriously think that Naraya will never run out of style because it's been so many years since I last visit Bangkok and I still think Naraya looks good.

My silly girlfriend doing the iconic posture



First Destination: Erawan Shrine
Lalala after some shopping we walk over to the Erawan Shrine which was a must-go attraction for many Singaporeans like myself who came over here to pray for good wealth and good career progression. Thereafter we took a cab over to our next destination which was quite a challenge as majority of the taxi drivers doesn't seem to have heard about True Love @ Neverland or where Soi Ari Samphan is at all.



Second Destination: True Love @ Neverland (Huskies heaven)
Yeah thank God we managed to flag down a taxi which knows the way to 153 Soi Ari Samphan 2, which is where the True Love @ Neverland is. So happy that we managed to arrive here just in time although there are already lots of people here and we are left with the table top seats but that's okay since we're here for the Huskies and not so much for the food. Paid 350 Baht for one person which comes with a free cake and drink. Hehe we chose the ice cream cake since it's so hot here in Bangkok and the drinks are pretty good too.

If you're paying a visit here do take note that they have made some changes to the service hours where there are only two time slots now. The updated service hours now are Tuesday to Sunday with two separate time slots at 12.30pm and 3.30pm. The 6.00pm time slot for the weekends have been removed. 

So happy that the huskies are being let out now and everyone of us put on the plastic shoe covers for us to cover up our feet to minimize any chance of bacteria being exposed to the huskies.









Lalala we really enjoyed ourselves for that 1 hour of session with the many huskies and the one and only Shih Tzu called Momo. Took so many selfies with the huskies and Momo within that 1 hour session that we really don't want to leave this place at all. Hehe look what the girlfriend decides to bring back with us to Singapore. All the cute flurry huskies are coming back with us hehe.

Lucky we check with the staffs from True Love because they do help to call for the Tuk Tuk for visitors who needed a ride to the nearest Ari MRT station but of course its not free. Can't really remember the price of it but it's not at all expensive so don't worry too much about it.

Third Destination: Chatuchak Weekend Market

Took the train from Ari station to Mo Chit station and from there we took a 5 minutes walk to go to the Chatuchak Weekend Market. It's been so many years since I came here and I am still lost here haha. Luckily we got the google map to help us navigate around the market area to head over to the Pets area so that we can buy some doggie snacks for our two doggies back home. Yeah so happy when we spotted the coconut ice cream stall because we can finally cool ourselves down now. 







The weather was so hot today that we decided to call it a day over at Chatuchak and head over to Big C Supermarket instead to check out all the snacks. We bought so many snacks here to bring back for our colleagues and friends. Head over to Alex's Fashion to test out my tailored shirts to make sure that all the little alterations that was required are noted down by them before the collection. 

The silly girlfriend with our purchases

Time for us to head back to JJ Green which is just next to Chatuchak Weekend market. Took a taxi to head over there and I think its really lucky that I have access to the network because we were nearly taken on a very big detour if it isn't for my google map. That's why its always good to be alert and not take things for granted even when taking the cab. Never assume the taxi drivers to be all honest.

Fourth Destination: JJ Green

I think JJ Green is not my kinda night market because I felt its way too hipster and not many places to walk although we did managed to get some phone covers. I think JJ Green seems to be more suitable for the local youngsters to chill out for some drinks after a long long day. After walking around for just 40 minutes or so we decided to leave the place. Walk out of JJ Green and head over to Talad Neon Downtown Night Market instead.


Fifth Destination: Talad Neon Downtown Night Market

I am so so so happy that we decided to head down here instead because Neon market is way better than Chatuchak and JJ Green. It's so cooling here and we were able to grab the things we want and ate the food we wanted to eat. We are feeling so happy hehe :) 

My favourite Thai milk tea at Twenty1BKK because it's not too sweet at all

Our fantastic dinner here. Look at the size of this seafood platter that cost just 750 Baht (S$31.50)



After shopping and having our late night dinner here, we head back to our hotel and enjoy a nice full body Thai massage at Siam Massage & Spa for just 350 Baht (S$14) per person.
