prior to departing to BKK from Terminal 1, i was checking emails over my new E61i and also the free internet station at the airport.
this meant that i was replying emails up to 10 mins before i can board the plane!
arriving at BKK’s new airport, greeted with super long immigration Q.
i was like “wat’s the point of having such a new & big airport with only limited immigration counters?!?!”
boooooo….
then some kind soul directed us to another area with more immigration counters!
Accomodation: Asia Hotel
it is connected to BTS which is our LRT.
it houses a famous BKK ladyboys cabaret – Calypso Cabaret
1st saga
we were given room 928. so very happily went to check into ‘our’ room.
But the door hinge was in place.
we tried a few times. still the same. suddenly, the door closed on its own!
DAMN!! we were given an OCCUPIED room!!!
*furious* – my travel mate
i was at a corner, replying to sms from colleagues.
and so we were upgraded to a deluxe room 903. YEAH!
ate our 1st Tom Yam Goong at a nearby coffeeshop! Shiok!
then it was shopping.. walked to MBK by crossing a flyover above a teh-o-coloured river. amusingly, it has river taxi!
ate Mac’s chocolate ice-cream which we no longer have.
nightfall, we headed to Suan Lam night market.
it had lots of arty farty furniture, chandeliers and shops!
bought 5 dresses! beri beri cheap! i likeeeee…
2nd saga
totally deadbeat. only wanted to quickly wash up & hit the sack.
you all know la.. bathroom usually gets misty when hot water splashing.
so when i was drying myself, i saw a word on the mirror!!!
some background: 2 wks prior to holiday, i was told that Asia Hotel is haunted. this didnt stay on my mind for long cuz my mind was bursting with work info!
now imagine what came to my mind!!
i turned my back against the mirror.. almost stopped breathing for 2 mins at least
quickly did some prayers..dressed up & run outta there!
both of us plucked up some courage & attempted to CLEAN the mirror.
told myself that it was juz wax..
true enough.. wax. PHEW! PHEW! God Bless ah!
Hotel’s breakfast was horribly terribly inedible..
i would classify it as a waste-of-my-stomach-space-food
Pratunam Day Market.
walked, walked, walked til my feet hurts.
stopped for zhu jiao fan! it is shiok one lor..
————————————————————–
errmmm…. i intended to share my BKK experience cuz really a lot of hiccups & funny things happened.
but.. but.. dun have the time to complete the entry.
so hor.. i’m juz gonna post it as it is.
maybe to add on a little..
i MISS my flight for the 1st time!!! yes.. u didnt read wrongly.
and so, i had to spend another night in BKK with last min purchase of next morning’s 1st flight back + hotel accomodation.
DARN exciting.
it happened cuz we were watching a movie @ one of the cafes while waiting for boarding time..
and i had to report back work immediately when i touched down.
heng, dun have meetings for tat day!!
exciting rite??
you forever….
