Bangkok 2010

Went to Bangkok with my friends during 28 february 2010. This is my second time to Bangkok. However, this trip was my really first time to play, eat and visit Bangkok. My first time in Bangkok was actually a seminar and study trip. 

We took Air Asia flight and departed from KLIA LCC Terminal. (Many people get confused LCCT and KLIA). KLIA is the name of airport , while LCCT is one of the terminal in KLIA which shares the same runway and both managed by Malaysia Airport Berhad.

Reached airport around 9 in the morning, and filled our stomach in McD. (until now still don't know why restaurants in airport are more expensive?)

 While waiting to board the plane...day dreaming?

Checked in and flight took off around 11am. After 2 hours, we landed in Suvarnabhumi Airport in city of Bangkok. 

After we have claimed our luggages, we walked out to arrival hall. The moment when you walk out, there were many people came and approached me. Guess why they approached me? Yes, you're right! Taxi or Limo services!

It is very convenient to take taxi from airport to downtown of Bangkok. For taxi service, you have to go down one floor and have your taxi ride. The fare is about 350-400THB. However, we opted to take Airport Limo service considering 6 of us have a lot of luggages. We bought a coupon costs us 1200THB, and a staff guides us to Limo. (another reason why we took Limo because we were so lazy to walk down to lower floor).

And here's we start our journey to Bangkok....

 Our hotel located in Pratunam, Citin Hotel. A budget hotel rate with 3 stars comfort! We spent about 4500THB per room for 3 nights. Isn't it worth?

 Amenities in the hotel room. 32"LCD TV, a mini bar and a safety box.

After hotel check in, we quickly went to a restaurant nearby and have our lunch before shopping (the main purpose to Bangkok) starts..

We tried Thai seafood Tom Yam and also Thai fried rice. Honestly, you will eat almost the same taste of tom yam everywhere in Thailand. It could be different only from the ingredients inside. Maybe abalone tom yam next time?

After our lunch, we went to Chatuchak market. We took sky train from....
