Homeward Bound

9 Dec

Our taxi ride from the hotel took 40 minutes without any real traffic woes and we got to the airport quite early. Suvarnabhumi Airport is just like an oversized beehive of activities! So many people and so crowded.

Queue to check in was okay but going through immigrations took a while. And like a tourist, we had to buy those last minute purchases. The girls each selected something and before we know it, we are boarding.

This time the B737-800 is new and we have personal screens! Yay. Until our next travel, I am glad we are homeward bound.

Our Last Day

9 Dec

Can’t believe four days has gone by so fast! Today is our fifth and final day in Bangkok; it will be a long day ahead traveling home. A leisurely paced breakfast (everyone woke up late), a final packing and we will soon be on our way to the airport.

All in all, the family had a great time! Goodbye Bangkok and thanks for the lovely memories.

There’s Not Enough Time

8 Dec

We have been in Bangkok only four days and it feels like forever yet not enough time. There’s still so much to see, to do and to eat. Tomorrow we leave with memories, bagful of goodies and sore legs!

This holiday with the girls is definitely one to cherish for we may not have this quality family time again once M1 goes to college. Family time aside, both hubby and I will definitely be back to this wonderful city again, for the food, some shopping and golf.

I am Tired

8 Dec

We walked to the Erawan Shrine and then made our way to Central World. As always prioritizing the stationery and bookstore, we spent quite some time in B2S to our hearts’ content. The girls bought stuff and soon after, decided we needed to fuel up.

Taling Pling was our choice stop for lunch today. Then we decided to take photos with the Snoopy exhibition that is out on display outside Central World. Hubby decided after this, we should walk over to MBK for more shopping since we seem to be done with Central World.

By five, everyone was calling for mercy, the legs were giving in again. M1 wanted to know if we were going for another foot massage later. I think we are done shopping.

Yes, a foot massage, a hot shower and a nice cold beer will be perfect to end the day!

What Should We Do?

8 Dec

Today is our fourth day in Bangkok and we don’t know what to do! After breakfast, we could not decide and ended up being anti-social in the room, all four silently engrossed in their devices. Eeesh.

Well, I think we will pay a visit to the Erawan Shrine and most probably spend half the day in Central World. It will be indoors most likely.

My Legs Died

8 Dec

It’s funny how shopping walking and golfing walking differs. It’s only five and a half hours at Chatuchak, slightly an hour more than a round of golf. And yet, it feels like I walked forever and my legs died. How can it be different when both are the same activity? The only difference is the surrounding.

Many a time, M2 groaned that her legs were gone and we were not even done with the day! This reminded me of my time in Paris last year when I walked more than 23,000 thousand steps visiting the Lourve. So maybe today, we could have done the same amount of steps.

After we got back to the hotel, a quick shower to rid ourselves of the sweat, we headed for a foot massage. Ahh… Bliss is the word for this therapy. Then off to dinner. The timing was neither here nor there, so we ended up in Siam Paragon again in their Food Hall.

I think a good night’s rest will do us wonders. Tomorrow, we have no set plans but more shopping as the girls insist. Well, this trip is to indulge them, so shopping is what we will do. And eat. And walk. There goes the legs again…

Chatuchak

7 Dec

We spent a good five and half hours at Chatuchak. The place is hot, crowded and packed. Wandering mindlessly along the aisles, M2 said she felt like we were going around in circles. At times, I do admit we were lost!

But we got some buying done, getting some good deals here and there. A good day nonetheless. Now all we need is a good rub down to soothe the tired legs before we decide what to eat for dinner.

Wake Up!

7 Dec

It’s 7.40am already and all the sleepyheads are still in bed! C’mon girls, wake up! We have lots to do later. Actually, today we will be walking a whole lot more because Chatuchak is in the plan, which means more walking than the last two days. I hope they are ready for it. I don’t think we plan to buy a lot but the sights at the market should be worth the effort.

Calypso, Part 2

6 Dec

It was very entertaining. However, during several acts, the sound system was a let down, muffling a few songs.

The girls were entertained yet puzzled as to the real gender of the performers. I must admit, they were indeed very pretty, some even to the point of stunning, I feel almost inadequate. Also, when they pranced around on stage, their upper assets, free from any confine or support, does not seem to bounce. If I tried that (without any support) everything bounces, you know what I mean? And theirs are way bigger, it’s pretty mind boggling!

After the show, M1 admitted that she was trying to look for evidence of who or what they really were. She said she couldn’t spot their Adam’s apple. Hmm, I don’t know what to make of this…

It’s been a long day. We are all tired out from so much walking and decided not to explore Asiatique any further. Tomorrow there will be more walking, so best to head on home to rest well.

Calypso!

6 Dec

The last time hubby and I saw Calypso was when they were still performing in the hotel and if you asked me, I cannot remember the name. They are now at Asiatique the Riverfront Warehouse number 3.

Asiatique the Riverfront is new to us, with many attractions – food, shopping and entertainment. Speaking of food, I am still so full from my Dairy Queen indulgence earlier, so I picked at my dinner. A safe spread of tomyum kung, green curry chicken, fish cake, mixed vege, satay and white rice, everyone had the same standard fare. The traditional dance is starting shortly and soon after, we head into the theater for the main attraction.
