Bangkok Day 4 & 5

Bangkok Day 4 and 5 were more relaxing because both of us were quite tired from the shopping at Chatuchak the day before and so we decided to go easy lol.

We came across another day market near our hotel area and surprisingly it's quite big! Many lanes and we almost couldn't remember which lanes have we not went to. If I am not wrong, this day market will close at around 5pm! It was quite squeezy in the day market and so I did not manage to take much photos of it.

Having the yummy ice-cream!

On our way to Platinum Mall - where most people get their wholesale stocks from! Actually I would not say it is really cheap, because you can get them much cheaper at any night markets/Chatuchak weekend market for sure!

There it is in front of us, and just a 5 mins walk away - Platinum Mall!

Alot of side stalls selling Thai food.

Photo-taking is not allowed in Platinum Mall (for some unknown reason) so apologies not much photos! :(

By the time we shopped finished, it was already time for dinner! Guess what, we went back to the same Thai Restaurant which we had during our first day in Bangkok. Love the food there so much we just had to visit them again! :)

A snapshot of the menu.

I had wanted to order the same Oyster Egg Omelette but boy wanted something for a change so we got the Seafood Omelette which tasted just as heavenly! Gosh looking at the photos now just made me drool.

Garlic Fried Fish!

With my favorite Fried Morning Glory again lol!

Time really flies and it's Bangkok Day 5! We had a flight back at 1pm and therefore we took this one last chance to visit a massage salon for a last-minute relaxing moment!

Went to this massage salon just below our hotel and the ambience is really cosy that we both fell asleep during our 1 hr foot massage. Heavenly!

Look at how neat this place is! :)

Oh yes and did I mention that boy and I went for at least one massage each day? Because it is so cheap we could't resist it! If I am not wrong, we went for 6 massages each (4 full body and 2 foot massage) during our 5 days at Bangkok lol! Mad crazy.

Who can ever resist a less than S$10 per hour massage!

After this, packed our luggages and then took the flight back to Singapore.

With that, this marks the end of our trip to Bangkok and I am so glad both of us enjoyed ourselves alot. Although we paid a bomb to go there, but it was worth it because it is only during this short frame of 5 days that we do not have to think of work and just relax to the max. Work has really tire us out and most of the time, our SMSes to each other consist 90% complaints about work. 

I told boy that I will want to go back to Bkk again next year! :)

Bangkok Day 3

Bangkok Day 3 was spent at Chinatown. It's a really old estate and you can see very run-down shophouses   there. We started off the day by making a trip down to Romeo & Juliet for boy's first fitting!

Fitting in progress!

Boy prefers to be more shapely so there needs to be two sewn slits at the back.

And him doing the typical blogshop model poses lol! He's always making fun of it.

The tailor for the suit arrived just in time!

And this Nepalese-mixed guy is the sales guy whom we liased with! I forgot his name though.

Lol I don't know what's with this photo!

Some samples of the cotton fabric they have.

Then we headed down to Chinatown, via cab! Vaguely I remembered there used to be a lot of roadside stalls selling bird's nest, but sadly there isn't any single roadside stall that sells bird's nest anymore! :(

There we are, Chinatown Bangkok! :)

Sandbags as a preventive measure!

There's loads of roadside stalls selling food! Most importantly, the food there is really cheap and you can get one big packet of snacks for like only less than SGD2!

Less than SGD0.50 for one big sausage!

Freshly made lime juice!

This fried wanton costs only SGD1.50 for one big packet!

Damn unglam I know!

Now this is super nice - bbq pork! Super great taste and it's very nicely marinated! We bought 10 sticks for only SGD2!

Enough of food, shopping time! Chinatown's a place where you can really get great deals, if you are patient enough to find. There can be denim shorts (from Size 23 to Size 36) selling at only SGD2 so imagine!

Looking around for fabric to buy and ask my mum to make dresses for me! :)

Got a little hungry after all the walking and so we stopped by a roadside stall for some food. There wasn't any menu and the wordings on the stall are in Thai so boy and I were quite unsure of what to order. We only managed to order when I pointed to someone else's fishball noodles. Lol!

It might look like just a normal bowl of fishball noodles, but it's quite delicious! Especially for less than $2!

Got too tired from all the walking and we decided to head back to our hotel for some rest before we chiong the night market again! :)

 Yippee!

 Dinner was at Black Canyon Cafe!



Super spicy Tom Yam soup! I only managed to drink one quarter of it :(

 Shopped around and it's time to go back to Romeo & Juliet to pick up boy's shirts and suit. We were really impressed by how efficient the people are - They took only 3 days to finish all 7 shirts,  1 suit and 3 trousers!
The first fitting was done in the morning, and at night they are all ready to be picked up.
Awesome right?

3 of the 7 shirts boy made. I think the thing about shirts for guys now is the inner collar and sleeve design right? Boy and I chose the design ourselves :)

Just half of what boy tailor made. I was too lazy to bring them all out and place it nicely lol.

While I was cam-whoring and trying to squeeze my buyings into my bag, there he is trying on just in case there is any last minute alterations then there's still time!

Totally unglam lol!

Goodnight sleep after that! :)
