*Back From Bangkok*

Back from Bangkok !!! Broke from Bangkok too !!! Haha !! But it was a great short getaway, great recovery from the hectic lifestyle we have from working in Singapore..

Though our stay in Bangkok is only a short 3 days, we've accomplished more than what we had set out before our trip !! It was a great fulfilling trip with lotsa food, shopping and visiting of places. Most importantly, we've fulfiled our primary objectives, that's shopping for our Wedding Stuff !! We're quite fortunate to find all the things we wanted at Chatuchak Market. Things like purple paper flowers, leaves, fans, bubble guns and decorative knick knacks.

There're alot more things like chandelier, nice furnitures, lightings and curtains that we wanted but our flat will only be ready in 2014/15. Nvm, we can always make another trip in future !! Bangkok is really a great place to do Wedding Shopping. Exquisite wedding gifts, decoratives and boxes are everywhere ! Do make a trip if you're thinking of shopping for ideas !

Besides shopping, we've done a walkaton in the 3 days too ! We've covered Chatuchuk Market, Suan Lom Night Market, Pratunum Night Market, Patpong Night Market, Platinum Mall, Siam Square, Central Mall, Siam Paragon, MBK, Pratunum Mall and SOKA Centre in Thailand ! We've tried walking to all these places. Lots of shopping and walking comes with lotsa Food as well !! Bangkok, Land of the Hot & Spicy, never gonna miss out the Tom Yum Soup !!, Thai Green Curry Beef, Thai Green Curry Chicken, Phad Thai, Thai Fried Rice Noodle, Thai Seafood In Coconut & lotsa more !! These are the stuff to replenish our energy to go for more ! Haha !! Here are some photos ! Picture still paints a thousand words..

Dining in the restaurants and hotels in Bangkok definitely gives a certain standard in the food and services served. However, we always believe that going to such cuntries, eat like the locals will definitely bring u another type of feeling and that is the kind of feel we loved !! We're more adventurous and love to join in the locals to dine by the road side stalls which many people won't.

Walking vs Taking Cabs & Tuk-Tuks has its advantages too !! While we're venturing along the Siam District, something amazing caught our eye !! Welcome to the GRAND OPENING OF KRISPY KREME !! How can there be Krispy Kreme in Thailand and not in ours !! Haiz..

Anyone who has tasted KK's Donuts know that its the BEST in the world and they have never failed to get both of us yearning for more after having it. To our surprise !! Never knew the Thais are even more into it !! They have been queueing for a box of KK's Donuts even before the shop is opened for business in the morning !! For the queue that's snaking out from Siam Paragon was initially thought to be Iphone or Hello Kitty's fever. We're Wrong !!!

Look At The Queue !!!

In between all the shopping and walking around, there's time for us to do one of our favourite past time as well. That is to chill out in a nice cafe, have a nice cup of coffee & tea and savouring a nice piece of cake !! We tested out Jim Thompson who is famous for their silk products, but not their cafe. We're quite surprised that they do have a nice place to chill out and serve exquisite desserts as well !!

With all these done in our itinerary, of cos to end off each day with a nice massage ! Massage is darn good and CHEAP !!! We've gone for massages, of cos no hanky panky, for all 3 days !! Foot massages and Thai full body massages !! And for all 3 days of massage, it was only 2000 Baht for 5 hours for both of us !!! Where to find such rates in Singapore ??? And we end off our short getaway to Bangkok with a foot massage as well !!

Love,
Bryan & Rowena
