woke up really really early in the morning. like at 4 am i think.

got ready blah blah and then took a cab to changi airport!! :) yay i like that place.

this year we took THAI air instead of SIA and it was actually nicer than SIA you know, except for the part where you don't have personal tvs, but THE FOOD IS LIKE OMG AWESOMEE. and the people there very shuai! as in the air stewards ;P

so we checked in to the hotel blah blah, then we ate lunch at this awesome wanton mee stall. the drink is like chinese tea with lots lots lots of sugar and although a little too sweet, its still very pleasant.

then we went shopping at a shop called NARAYA, its one of the most famous shops in thailand. it sells awesome and reasonable priced bags and accessories. yeah we bought 35 bags there. wont tell you the amt we spent. x)

then we walked more and more and bought lots of other stuff. like clothes etc. spent so much on the first day!! and then my sis and i started worrying about not having enough money for other days. :B

we stayed in a suite kinda thing. it was BIGG. so it was quite tiring to walk around the house all the time. but every room has a toilet so luckily :D this was my fav hotel i think.

and at night we went to walk around a night market. a real eye-opener! :D

we didn't spend much that day. cos the whole day we were walking around sight-seeing. so we went to places like the grand palace, marble temple(which open only once a year. we were lucky!), sleeping buddha temple, 200 statue temple and other stuff. the grand palace is so big i think we took about 3 hours to walk the whole thing. my legs were breaking!!

oh and we took the tuk-tuk all round! it was so cool!!

oh right we went to this like super busy street haha there was so many awesome stuffs there. and we went for leg massage!! cos our feet were aching.

we ate at TOM YUM GOONG. which serves authentic thai food.

and and we drank starbucks! the ambience was very nice cos it was like in a secluded area and it was very cosy. xD

so we went home and snuggled into the COLD FREEZING blankets.

we went to pathaya on this day:D the KFC there is really good. i would say better then s'pore's!

upon arriving, we went to look for more food. B) the public bus service there is really COOL AND I MISS IT.

its like you know those pick-up trucks with shelters and they installed benches inside. so ppl just go up anytime and there are buzzers to ask the driver to stop too! its only 10 baht per person no matter where you alight. the trucks follow a route so alot of ppl just hop on and some even just stand on the stairs. its really great as its super cooling!! my fav way of transport.

we went to watch a show called the tiffany's. its where all the guys undergo sexual transformation and become really really pretty girls. they have great bodies man. and all so gorgeous!! so they perform lar. like basically dance. its really professional! :D plus they gave out free orange juice and coke. teehee :P

we scouted around for some dinner, but i tell you it was awful. that place is so SLEEZY at night!! the whole street is infested with pubs and girls just wearing their undies dance infront of you to attract attention. urgh i had to cover my eyes everywheree!! and the business is so good, with so many customers actually looking for them and going into motels/hotels! i couldn't stand it :|

in the morning, we took a one hour boat ride to coral island. the boat shook so vigorously i had a hard time sitting down even. but it was ultra fun!!

the boat stopped halfway and some ppl alighted to try out parasailing! they were super colourful!! but it was too ex. so we didn't go even though it looked fun.

then we took a smaller boat to the beach. the water's so clear and the sand's so white and soft! plus there were a lot of hot babes wearing bikinis there too.. hehe. xP we ate really nice seafood there. the food was so fresh!! i took a banana boat, and the water motorcycle!! it was ultra uber funn ttm!! i love it like sdfghjkloiuytr!

we played more in the sea and sand. we also made some friends there. all in all, it was a awesome time at the beach! plus i learnt how to make flat stones skip on the water!! my record was 3 times. felt a sense of achievementt! :DD

when we took the smaller boat back, the boat was really special. the base is made of glass, and so you can see all the marine creatures and corals under our feet. beautiful ttm!

i didn't wanna go out for dinner this time cos i didn't want to encounter the same scenario as last night, so my parents bought SUBWAY back! its cheaper than it is in singapore but the taste is as good. and there's this dish callled pad thai, which is really nice too. (:

we went back to bangkok. this time i had diarrhoea(is this how you spell it??). and my sister had a fever and food poisoning. but my laosai was not that serious so me and my dad and mum still went around to walk walk. nothing much happenned today. oh right we ate fantastic tapenyaki! and its so much much cheaper!! and we went MBK.

we got better, except for my mum. my mum fell ill this time round. but it was not very bad so we went to a weekend market called CHATUCHAT. its really famous around there, and its so big its like 1000 bugis put together. and i'm not kidding. they sell EVERYTHING. from clothes to food to furniture to local produce to shoes to aroma therapy to massage centres to random stuff like accessories and bags and even ANIMALS. yes they sell squirrels, cats, snakes and everything you can imagine. but its really really warm there.

my mum didn't feel too well again so we went home. then after about 2 hours of rest we decided to go out. guess what, the taxi driver who drove us out was a total cheat!! he did something to the meter and it jumped like crazy. plus my dad says he is a drug addict. cos he has seen drug addicts before and he was exactly how he remembered them to be!! and he didn't stop at all the red lights and just chionged his way through everything.

oh btw, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY YURI!! and it was the thailand king's birthday too! so there were celebrations and all and many ppl were wearing pink.

okay anyway, we went to SIAM area. there are like some major shopping malls there, like siam centre, discovery centre, siam paragon, central world, siam square, and this digital place.. the digital place was cool. they sell like almost every camera you can imagine there!! (yes there were abundant polaroids which were less ex then s'pore) and there were a couple of neo print booths at every corner.

back to what i was talking about, we walked around the same area for ages, only to find out that we were at the right place and we were walking in circles the whole time. we were looking for some noodle shop, but guess what, it was closed. ghjkgfhj. nevermind we settled down at a hk/jap restaurant and the food was really goodd! so in the end we felt that it was okay. :D

we walked around every possible place. and bought quite a lot of stuffs. (: and my domo watch!!

went home with our feet paining like siao. at night, we went for a swim in the hotel's roof top swimmingg pool! oh right this is also the suite kind but it was smaller then the first and the toilet so far away!! anyway, we were freezing cos the wind was so strongg! and the water is so cold! managed to swim a few round thought, around 10++? then went for jaccuzzi. yay actually not that fun.

dragged myself to slp. xD

we packed first, and then i wasn't feeling too well as my stomach hurt lots. so i stayed back and watched tv yay! while my family went out to shop more. anyway, the tv was really awesome, cos almost every channel was kpop mvs and there was KBS and playhouse disney!! and there are other channels that show singapore shows too like xiao niang re! and there were many latest songs from america. oh oh there was channel news asia! even though it is boring as usual. and so many movies!! :D so we packed and set off the the airport!!

i think this was the only meal i really did not enjoy. at the airport. gah.

anyway, the airplane dinner was awesomest. cos it was the period of the king's birthday, so we had a special meal cooked by some 5 star person. haha AWESOME plus the air stewardess thought that me and jean are still kids so we got served first. and we got the meal that ran out :DD! lucky much!!

went back to home sweet home, and suddenly realised i had to slp early cos of the next day. but i was too late.
