Thailand Trip 22-26March06
Yep made a last minute decision to follow my mum and sis to Thailand last week since my dad last minute back out due to some other committments.. Took AirAsia (since i won a pair of free tics... hahah) on 22March... The flight was delayed by half an hour.
My mum and I on our way to the Land of Smiles^_^
Upon arriving, we checked in to our budget hotel (erm nt Hotel 81 hahah) and proceeded to the nearest shopping centre for dinner lorz...
Had our first dinner in Thailand at MK Restaurant at Big C Shopping Centre. Apparently Singapore used to have MK restaurant a few months back but it closed down soon after. There are hundreds of them in Thailand though.
2nd Dae:
Spent some time shopping at Central Shopping Centre nearby in the morning. Bought some stuff at the Departmental Store which was also named Central. Afternoon took a 2h fast ride on a bus to Chiracha, a sub-urban area. Checked in to the service apartment we booked upon reaching. As it was renovated recently, it looked very new. Take a look:
My sis, mi and my mum at the service apartment...
My sis styling for my "vain" mum! lol...
Went for a tea break at a cafe and had dinner after that at a seafood corner.
The other gal in the pic is my sis thai fren... damn nice gal... she was with us almost all the time during the trip as she brought us around=)
Proceeded to the renowned Mini Siam Miniature Garden. There were small replicas of famous landmarks in some countries. There was even one of the Merlion but I didn't take a photo of it. Hee...
Can u recognise what these few landmarks are? =)
Day 3
Went to the Sriracha Tiger Zoo. It was like a mini zoo with performances by Tigers, Crocodiles and Pigs. There was even an enclosure called "Happy Family" with a Pig, Dog and Tiger living happily together. However, due to the glass, I couldn't get a clear picture of them. Hai =(
Having a feast at the Zoo's restaurant. There were tons of tourists around. Eh crocodile meat was in the menu too. It looked disgusting because there were hundreds of crocodiles being kept in the zoo, with you knowing it'll be served on the tables very soon. Brr...
Pigs feeding on Tiger's milk
Tigers feeding on Pig's milk
Pigs racing!! There was even a Pig doing Maths section and the answers were always correct!! Didn't manage to take a video of that...
Made our trip back to Bangkok after that
Day 4
Went to shop at various shopping centres, including the damn grand Siam Paragon and MBK with cheap cheap goods at a steal. Read in the papers a few days back that these few shopping centres have been closed due to riot. I am lucky enough to have gone there last week instead. Phew!! =/
Day 5
Had an early flight so didn't go anywhere.
At a cafe eating as our flight was postponed by 2h. No AirAsia flights for mi anymore!! Grr...
Our last photo before we departed from Bangkok. I miss the country... The people's smiles wherever we go... So heartwarming... Sob sob...
