woke up at 4am and we are already preparing our luggages to go to Changi International Airport. we are flying over to Bangkok, Thailand for holiday. Took a cab down to airport and checked in our luggages. Saw this Angmo couple with a golden retriever inside a cage. i wish i can have 1 too. :)
went over to terminal 2 to get some stuffs to read on board. Boarded Thai Air Way flight no. TG402. It's been a few months since that trip to wallaby (it was a long journey though) this time we had chicken sausage with omelette for breakfast on board.
i had a blocked nose so i was rather resting on board in hope of it will go away so that i can enjoy quality time in Bangkok. Arrived in Bangkok International Airport in about 2hours and we took a shuttle bus to Siam Discovery Centre. We are going to stay in Novotel hotel which is located near to the shopping malls and the central skytrain too.
due to the shortage of rooms we had to wait for a hour before we can go to our room so we went to MBK for our lunch. it's my first time trying the local mee and it taste weird cuz it's like sweet?lol. Baby sure like the soup luh :) the sticky mango rice is super nice! a must try there.
went back to put our stuffs in the room and to our surprise the room was very spacious. there's a small lounge and the toilet is stylish too!(will put up pictures as soon i get them) For those who dont want to go shopping there are movies for you to choose (you gotta pay for them) and watch while your other partner goes shopping.
Took a cab to Baiyoke tower. Thing to note about the cabs in Thailand is that they do not i repeat they do not drive like singapore cabs. There are mainly 2 types of taxis in Thailand; one that charges according to the meter while you need to settle the fare amount before you board them. You need to pay in order to go up the tower to take an eagle's view of the city so we didnt go up. Instead we shopped around the flea market.
we had coca steamboat dinner which is like 2 minutes away from the hotel. It would definitely cost more to have it in singapore. It only cost 10bucks each?baby and her family enjoyed themselves there and i guess i made a right recommendation this time :)went down to the hotel's club downstairs (it's free entry for hotel guests) and played a few rounds of pool before we went up to rest. :)
Day2: DreamWorld Adventure!!!
woke up like super early and went down to the hotel's restaurant for breakfast buffet style :) i love american breakfast :) after the filling breakfast we went up to our room to empty the bowels (too much hao liaos le..) before going down to take a bus to our destination today: DreamWorld!!!argh~~~
actually i was abit worried because it's been so long since i went to amusement parks and most of the rides i never been on them before :S let's just say i am going to test myself today :) it's a 2 hour ride from the hotel to dreamworld so we took a short nap.okay~here we are:DreamWorld.It's roughly 30++bucks for the whole-day ticket(there are certain rides that has a limit otherwise the others are ride till you puke type :) what i can say is that the place is very popular with the students and tourists.
we went to warm up with the flying cars before we went to the raptor(above)it was quite fun especially when you feel yourself flying off while the thing spins and moves up and down.next we went over to the grandcanyon.
dont be fooled by the name it's just a ride that is determined to make you wet and guess what?i was the one who got wet the most. :( anyway we went for some dart games to dry ourselves at the same time.
