Bangkok Jam

September 21, 2009 — Bangkok, Central, Central Chitlom, Fraser Place, Fraser Place Bangkok, Fraser Place Langsuan, Siam Paragon, Thailand

After a few years, I finally went to Bangkok. I don’t remember exactly how many times I’ve been to this city but definitely not more than 10.

I wanted to bring the family for shopping as I felt (slightly) guilty I didn’t get to tag them along for my HK adventure in early August. The main goal was for them to shop but in the end I could not help but be tempted as well.

We stayed at Fraser Place along Langsuan. Smart move – thanks to my sister who ask her friend for a recommendation. Not only was it spacious (serviced apartment set up so was not cramped vs staying in a hotel), it was also near the places we wanted to shop at.

1.5 days of walking, dining, and shopping could be exhausting, well, self-inflicted pain. Also managed to catch up with Ken whom I met in Singapore and also happened to be on holiday there.

Tuk Tuk trendy - Fraser had a complimentary tuk tuk service to the Central Chitlom BTS station

Greyhound Cafe - reminds me of PS Cafe (Singapore). Same same but different.

There was an exhibit at Siam Paragon - this display looks real

There was a teeny bopper dance contest in the Siam area. The performances must have been boring that a judge wanted to entertain himself.

I am reunited with Dunkin Donuts munchkins. Yes, Singapore now has Dunkin Donuts but they don't munchkins... Sad sad

The best tasting orange juice I've ever tasted in my entire life and I found it in Chatuchak! I didn't have stomach problems after so it's safe to drink!

Early drive to the airport to catch the 830 am flight

Til the next shopping adventure!
