Bangkok, Thailand 2012 (Sneak Peek)

Sawatdee Kaa สวัสดี one more time again! (Just love to take photo with Ronald everytime visit Thailand)

Early of this year, I went Phuket with my girlfriends for an island getaway and this time around, I went Bangkok with one of my closest friend which I met during my study time in United Kingdom just solely for a shopping trip only. Just back from Melbourne, Australia for less than 10 days, I was flying off to "Land of Smiles" with the return airfare that I bought for just 20 cents (but after added up all the admission fee, fuel and airport tax, total return ticket cost RM147.20).

I did a bit of sightseeing besides wholly focus on shopping such as:

Went across the famous Chao Phraya River and visited one of the notable Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha)

And also Grand Palace which was once official residence of the Kings of Siam.

Experienced the floating market, which one of the things you should do when in Bangkok.

Throughout my 5 days in Bangkok, my friend and I went almost all the popular and recommended shopping mall/center such as:

Clockwise from left: Platinum Fashion Mall; Central World; MBK Center and Siam Paragon.

And also Chatuchak Market - one of the world's largest weekend markets. 

If you dislike shopping but love phototaking, then you should visit Terminal 21 which is a shopping complex but has different world-famous cities concept at different floor such as London, Tokyo, Istanbul, San Fransisco and more. This place is highly recommended if you love phototaking.

Last but not least, both of us totally couldn't resist ourself from keep shopping, shopping and shopping. We're definitely shopped everything from head to toe cause it is more cheaper and fashionable to shop in Bangkok than in China and also Bandung, Indonesia.

Bangkok is definitely one of the city that I love to go back again.

So, Bangkok concluded as my final trip for this year with my friends (after Phuket, Brunei, Philippines, Vietnam, Bali, Hong Kong, Macau, Australia). Currently, I'm feeling a lil bit exhausted due to extensive travel since 17 September till 21/22 October 2012 by taking 10 flights and visited 4 different cities/countries within that period. Therefore from now onwards, I'm gonna hibernate from travelling for almost half a year before continue for my next travel adventures. Till then, do check out all my previous outdated travelogue.
