Bangkok - shopping, eating

10 Aug

Woke up 6am(local time). Slept pretty late(2am) and still can wake up as per norm! Body clock just couldn't take a day break! Although I am on vacation!

Came out on a bright morning, slow and steady run to the park. Don’t really feel that good this morning. Feel like going back and slack. I stuck into it and finished 2 loops of the park and slow jog back. 43mins effort and was drenched!

Go over to weekend market. It was a relax stroll since only 2 of us for this trip, something new for a change! Weather was good. Shopping isn’t much, as we know what we want and get to explore other part of the market that we normally either get too tired or too hot to even venture into those area. Have our customary lunch. It is heavenly shiok with the cold bottle of coke to quell the heat!

We came back for a rest. Shiok to nuah during vacation. :)

We went shopping at MBK and Central at Chitlom. We took a while getting through our shopping list. By the time we finished our shopping, it was pretty late and we have to have dinner at our hotel lobby. Phew. At least we can eat in peace and just hit upstairs after it.

Sleep late. Just couldn’t get myself to sleep earlier.

Woke up at 6am again. Decide to head to the gym this morning. The gym was new. Have a 60mins on the bike, follow by 30mins of weights. Pretty cool to start the day!

Lazy around before getting our breakfast. We head to Pratunam this morning. Knowing what we required, it is pretty smooth and easy trip for us. Weather was excellent this morning. We head back to Central World for additional shopping. It was nice to shop without the time constraint bugging you. We head to Robinson at Asoke and a nice tea break before heading back to hotel for our afternoon nap. It was raining; we are slightly caught in it. Okay lah, just drizzling.

In BKK, apart form eating, drinking, shopping, massage is a MUST!I went for a massage on my own, since Pheck Leng couldn’t do it. My regular massage parlor is very far away and I decide to head to a nearby joint which I read is pretty good. I have a hard time finding it. Almost abandon the search after going through a few streets trying to find a couple of alternatives. After about 1hr, I finally found it,

The thing about massage parlor in BKK, it is so many on the street. A few steps there are one at least at the place that I stayed. I remember the last trip to KL, try that street side massage, wasn’t really impressed, so prefer to take those a bit higher class type. Massage was decent with the right kind of atmosphere. Opt for Aroma 1.5hrs, cost me 800 bath. Apart from the bath tub water spray that refuses to throw out hot water, the rest is pretty up to decent standard. I would love to trade it off for healthlandspa anytime. The quality and pricing is just a class of its own in Bangkok!

Proceed to MK in Siam Square for dinner, abit of walk walk at the area before we retired for the evening.

Decide to slack and skip workout this morning. After breakfast left for Airport. It is Queen birthday(public holiday) and the streets are quiet and travel to airport is a breeze.

This time round know how much time to allocate for the traffic in airport and have sufficient time to walk around and have last meal there before boarding.

It is a good and relax trip. We enjoy it. Don’t think we come back again till next year.

Signing off from Thailand, Land Of Smiles.
