Bangkok Trip- Day 1

Date : 14/ 11/ 08

Boarded a morning flight, FD 3572, an A330 from LCCT to Suvarnarbhumi International Airport, Bangkok. This time, i went to bangkok with my family. My sis mistakenly thought that LCCT is known as low class carrier terminal. Ok, it really offended us all. == Met my sis's friend, vicky on the plane. The plane which we boarded was filled with young malaysian footballers, probably the royal selangor team and vicky was one of them. Well, at least it was a noisy ride. Lol...

Waited almost an hour in the departure hall before boarding.

Touched down safely at 1140, bangkok local time. Made our way to check-in into manhattan hotel with a taxi, the taxi driver that we hired earlier this year. Technically, we know him and yup, he is nice guy who can speak english. So, chances to get discount is high too. Haha...

The wind section of A330. Beautiful.

Headed to siam paragon for lunch by BTS sky train. A place where it is convenient, cheap and wide choices of local thai food. Food prices starts from 400 baht. Then we made our move to erawan temple in chit lom where the famous 4 face buddha located.

Guess what, thais had already prepared for christmas.

The dancers from the temple were dancing to perform blessing to people who donated money to the temple.

Settled ourselves in the hotel for the rest of the day for some rest till night, we went to suan lum night bazaar in lumphini for dinner by MRT. Managed to help ourselves with thai duck rice and ' fried oyster' which tasted more like a fried crispy egg with oyster. Then we toured around the night market.

One of the shops that sells beautiful lightings.

Many unique items were sold there.

Then we boarded MRT back to our hotel to make ourselves comfortable and rest for tomorrow activities.

One thing i noticed about the local people in bangkok is that they are friendly and warm. They are also religious buddhists performing prayers everyday in the temple.

I don't have any bad intention on this photo. ==

Today, visited my uncle from my dad's side in seremban Tuanku Ja'afar Hospital. He is not in a good condition cause he had a dry lung. Sigh... i'd enough watching people suffering.
