sawadika 3 days 2 nites Nov2008

had a trip with some colleagues to bangkok... was my first time to tat part of the world... but i had a good time.. the best part of the trip was... contacting a very very very old friend and meeting him and his heavily pregnant wife!
with Jacqui before we got on the early morning plane... as u can see my just-wake-up face...
my breakfast :)
Arrival at bangkok international airport...
i had to say i was pretty pleased with the architecture of the place... love the cold, grey, and intimidating atmosphere...

i was trying to take pictures of the graffiti!
My hotel room @ Pullman KingPower Hotel


the view from my window...
the swimming pool...
my favourite flower... TO DATE...
hahaha something familiar
the green kuehkueh was FANTASTIC!!!! i had almost 20 of them in one go!!!
toilet indication!!!
i got crazy with the lights and end up taking lots of hypnotic pictures...


my roomie and i! ms cheah!
bangkok nite scene... just like any city with lights at nite.. DUH
"CAN'T U SEE WE COME IN PEACE???!!!"
we went to the night market.. and i was attracted by this interestingly dressed tree trunk...

Deep fried crispy duck with Keropok!
i had a thing for OLD BUILDINGS... in Chinatown










Me in a pagoda shaped tellyphone box!
Bruce's Fins
we enter the restaurant.. it was very quiet... think we were the only customers then...i had crab claw with glass noodles... and shared mr bruce's fins with my colleague...


Met up with my old secondary school classmate!!!! JARATPON!!!!! he has... grown!!! in everyway!!! am proud of him!!! i wish him well!!!! his wife is beautiful.. her complexion is so gorgeous!!!!
Had a glass of orange juice in the hotel lobby when i met them.. aiyo... the glass is too avant garde.. i was spilling OJ everywhere... :P
Soon after the reunion... i head off for some TLC spa treatment at Lullaby! The place was beautifully calm... no photography allowed.. but i was being a rebel.. as always...Here's the entrance to the place...
the individual treatment room... i had swedish massage...
each room comes with a shower


Evening comes... DINNER TIME!!!
here's the leftover from our extravagant dinner...
Mei Sing & I!!! almost exploding after dinner...
then we went on this really scary tuk tuk ride... the driver was absolutely reckless... cutting lanes, cutting corners...this was taken DURING the ride..
i am surprised neither of us vomited after the ride...we made it back... safe and sound to the hotel...
here's the Formula 1 tuk tuk driver!

The LAST DAY!
i feel that before i leave the hotel.. i just HAVE to take a picture of this abandon multistorey carpark from my colleague's room...


Our final meal at the airport... fish cakes and sushi, and other stuff


Isaiah, one of my colleagues, said he had not had any tom yum goong since he was there... and alas... finally he had his share of made in thailand tom yum goong at the airport..
Jacqui & I
