The weather is scorching, the roads are dusty, the people are loud, and a year long plan for a visit to Bangkok has been made reality. Oh and the food? GLORIOUS! Rwarrr!! On Saturday Yobi, J and I made a trip down to Bangkok. We stayed in pretty cool place called Baiyoke Boutique located just behind it’s big brother Baiyoke Sky which is the tallest building in Bangkok.
The modern and fancy decor in the hotel lobby! Liked the glassy and shiny feel of the interior! The bedrooms where simple and comfortable! If I had a complain about the rooms, it’ll probably be the super small LCD television as well as the poor lighting in the room which did not seem so suitable.
The best thing about the hotel will have to be the F.O.C things they provide! We get a bottle of mineral water EVERYDAY. As well as NEW toothbrush and toothpaste EVERYDAY! Beat that mate. You can practically come here empty handed and still feel clean!
After checking out the rooms, we were definitely starving! I wanted to have the Nasi Lemak onboard the flight but it was sold out! How unfortunate :(! Bangkok city is really busy all day long, the roads all jammed up even at 8 in the night. Walking down the road I had a couple of pictures of the city which I have to say is not a beautiful sight. In fact the city looks a little rundown and slump. Needless to say though, tourists were everywhere to be seen.
The street outside the hotel.
Justin equipped with his 10 pocket khakis with used tissues in one pocket, keys in another pocket, hands in another pocket, wallet in another, hand phone in another and oh of course his Ipod I’d believe.
Yobi leading the pack down the busy street! Mind his Fatass thank you lol.
Our first eatery for the day was The SideWalk located less than 10 minutes walk from the hotel. The place served good food at holy smoke cheap price!
Hehe, first proof that we’re in Bangkok! Coca cola everywhere you go!
Yobi is all excited about the food. Who would not be? Thailand with its scrumptious food. Anyone would go gaga over this.
Justin and I have a picture before the meal too! Courtesy of Yobi!
Tom Yam Kung filled with 4 halves of large prawns with Thai specialty, fried egg with oysters! And heck? Where are my other pictures of this cari makan event :S!! We had two more fried rice that meal which was wahh!! So satisfying! Loved it!
This meal costs us less than 40 ringgit for the soup, fried rice X2, fried egg with oysters and a 1.5l Coke! On the way back, we felt totally roasted by the heat. Add the dust and I think Bangkok naturally feels like the dessert. The air is dry! Nonetheless, the Thais have just the remedy for that! And that would be;
hohoho!! Fragrant coconuts were all over selling at just 20 baht each! Such a steal! The natural sweetness accompanied by the nice smelling fragrant of the fruit was sooo good! I had at least 7 or more of these during the trip!
After that we headed back to the hotel for a short chill out session! I jumped into the shower for a quick cool down and before I realize it, we were out on the streets walking again! I think I’ll stop here just for awhile! This post seems very long already!!
Till then ;-) Cya!
