trip day 6
addition to day 5:
before the walking street we went to this night market.. bought nice lamps! and bags and souvenirs. then went to another shopping place nearby, mae yue and phoebe bought nice dresses =) and van and tina were sad coz the dresses were too short for them.. haha.. and yoga bought t-shirts i think. we were v hungry so we ate KFC for dinner.
day 6:
packed for bangkok, then i watched ftv (we seem to be watching it all the time) with chill while the rest went for bfast. checked out from hotel and took the minivan to bangkok! arrived at train inn, which was v small (but cute). somehow we got the second class room which means we dun have shower and toilet in the room. room was small, only got beds and tv and washbasin. the place was really clean though...
after that went out to the grand palace by taxi ( 5 ppl squeeze at the back!). when we arrive there was a guy telling us that we can't go in at that time and we could go somewhere else first (and tina started to feel very very uneasy coz this situation is exactly like what she has read in online guide etc. haha). bought some lunch from stalls in the market: funny-tasting sausages, chicken and fruits. took the boat after that.. it's quite interesting to see the houses around the canals, saw a few temples around the area.. but the river was dirty!! oh and they have road signs on the river.. stopped at wat arun, all of us climbed to the top, it was like a 90 degrees climb!!! view from the top was good. and then the most random thing happened. Mae Yue lost her contact lense at the top of Wat Arun!!! so the two chivalrous guys went up again to find it but apparently it's there.. so we left the temple compound, and took picture with that thing in thai costumes (ok i have no idea what it is called or how to describe it). and some guy suddenly came and pointed at the 40B sign!!!!! OMG!!! it's a rip off day. haha. so we paid 160B for the pic.
then the boat took us back to the other side of the chao praya river, and we went to the grand palace. what a grand place indeed! there are so many buildings and gold statues... so we took many many pictures! inculding many pics where we posed like the statues. went in to the temple of emerald buddha (in which the buddha was not made of emerald but jade. ok this is random), sat down inside for a while. there's so much gold it was blinding. oh and had water from the lotus flower on our head. haha. went around the palace some more, went to the weapon museum, and took more pics. unfortunately we couldnt enter some part of the palace coz there's something going on. changed money afterwards coz half a day in bangkok proved to be very very costly.
took the river boat afterwards!! it's quite cool, like taking public bus only that it was a boat!! the boat went along the river, we got to see some hotels and stuff. arrived at the central pier and took the skytrain to siam, the shopping area! went in to siam paragon for while but decided that we could not buy anything there, so went to the siam square area instead. had dinner at this noodle place. noodle was good, but it was very very spicy!! phoebe was the only person who were eating in peace while the rest of us had to battle the spicyness. haha. went around to shop some more at siam square.. the guys looked bored while the girls went into various shops to buy stuff, like Kimono top!!! after that we went outside, found this shoe shop. yoga cil and van was waiting patiently while the rest went in to try shoes! haha. we wanted to go back after that, only to realise that the night market has just started!!! so yoga cil and van had to wait a bit longer while tina mae yue and phoebe shopped some more.
after reaching the hotel, cil slept immediately i think. the rest showered then went for a walk in around the hotel. bought lots of lays, and then found some eating place by the road side, so we sat down and eat! and had lays party in the hotel afterwards. can't believe cil missed all of this eating. haha.
