BANGKOK TRIP DAY 1 #THROWBACK

finally have some time to upload my bangkok trip
first time going trip without family
first time going trip with bf & friend

was feeling very excited the day before
early in the morning got up and get ready to airport
it was raining heavily that day both of us
was caught in the rain even with umbrella

the cab driver was nice , telling us to dry ourself before
boarding the plane as the aircon will be very cold and
we won't want to get sick on the first day , it will ruin our trip

on the way there
we went to pick up friend as they sending
the other 4 of us off , it's couple trip ~~

upon arriving airport we 3 pair of couple went for lunch

BBQ STINGRAY

Gurney Drive,
Terminal 3
Viewing Mall, Level 3
Opening Hours : 10.30am - 11.00pm

actually we ordered quite many food
but didn't took picture of it as my hp
was running out of battery

have not been to other country for many years
now they have this express lane for singaporean
passport holder to check in themself
with own passport and thumb print scan

at one point felt kinda silly that we went to join the queue
at other lane until one of the friend lead us to express lane :S

when we touched down
Don Muang Airport (DMK)

first thing i do is to find my way to ladies
i was shocked to see how old and dirty it was
however we cannot expect too much so move on

we went to get a 7 day unlimited free data card at 299baht
the sales person will helped to activate for you once done
my bf doesn't let me have it as he want me to enjoy
the trip without thinking of my work so nice of him

we went to join cab queue shortly after on our way
to hotel we notice 2 booth with the price roughly

50baht each i can't remember now however

confirm lesser than 100baht
plus the surcharge 50baht
from airport to city maybe the most,
supposed to be 280baht ~ 300baht only

thing to take notes

never never board the cab if they
not going to on the meter fare
they will ask for more than what it cost
saying things like will need to pass 2 booth
and cost 100 baht each time

our driver he claimed that it will be more expensive
if he on the meter as he not sure how to get to our hotel
for our case we nego to 500 baht however we only realized
we paid too much upon arriving hotel

a reminder if your route includes any toll booths
you as the passenger are expected to pay the toll fare
it's just like ERP in singapore but with a staff collecting the fare

we have 4 person so it cost roughly SGD $4 each pax overall

still cheaper than what you gonna pay in Singapore

PS: now Bangkok taxi fare increased so will cost slightly more

CHATEAU DE BANGKOK'S LOBBY

upon arriving our hotel at 10.30pm
( bangkok time which is 11.30pm in singapore :x )

we were welcomed with friendly staff
the hotel might be small but they have excellent service
we were given a glass of orange juice while waiting for check in

STUDIO ROOM

this studio room is big!
it come with a big bathroom
a small kitchen and a wardrobe room

we were feeling very hungry and just throw our luggage
took a small break and went out quickly to meet up with the couple
who stay next door beside our room

the friendly staff helped us to get a cab
all we need is to let them know where we going
and they will arrange for us

to go places which is near to your hotel even if the driver
don't on meter, before you even get on the cab nego with them
the most you should only agree to pay, not more than 100baht

we went chinatown (Yaowarat)
that night walking down the street
there are 2 stall of seafood one in red uniform
another in green uniform and we decide to go for
green uniform - T&C seafood

many were having meal on roadside without aircon
while we went to the side door for aircon seat ,
the staff was also very friendly there

we were reminded by friend to have more coconut drinks
to make sure we don't get sick during our holiday

Fried Chicken & Vermicelli

this Vermicelli come with the crab
it's really delicious and i kept thinking of it
missing that tastes even though i'm already back in singapore
