Places in Bangkok...

First night in Bangkok, we only managed to visit a night market near China Town. Aiyer, the stuves they sell in the market looks like something they steal from somewhere or maybe from the rich men's backyard. You can find anything there: spare parts for car, plumber tools, pottery, electrical goods, wine in small bottle, etc. Besides, they also sell fruits and food. The only thing that my friend bought there was the Lychee. So, I had my very FIRST biji of Lychee in Bangkok! I have never eaten any FRESH lychee before. 'x'!!

Second day, we went to a floating market. Disappointed. Only a few boats there selling goods. Ok let's not be sad, the river is actually the Chao Phraya River! Excited. The long river in Thai, remember you studied that in secondary school? Photos taken on the river:

The boat used by the King long long time ago...

Before we started the tour, we kept saying that we do not want to visit too many temples. One is enough. However, after the tour, we are so geram that we did not even enter at least a temple because the only temple in our itinerary is closed for maintenance. Therefore...

One of the many temples in Bangkok...

*sob sob* The temple is so much different from ours.

Besides from tuk tuk, Toyota car is the Taxi you can find in Bangkok.

Toyota Corolla - the Taxi

There are Toyota Altis too.

We spent that afternoon at Sriracha Tiger Zoo. For the very first time, I fell in love with zoo! Before this, zoo is considered as a dirty and smelly place. Why I have changed my mind? Look at the photos below:

I know, they are cute!

There, we watched the pig, crocodile and tiger shows. I rated the shows as MUST watch shows if you go to Thai!

The fourth day, we went to Nong Nooch Village. This is a smelly village. We watched both the Thai Cultural Show and Elephant Show there. The cultural show is more or less like ours at Damai Cultural Village. But the Elephant show is lively. The elephants can cycle, dance, draw, massage, etc...

Sorry, I do not put up any photos from all the shows with 2 reasons.
Reason No.1: I do not take any pic at the Crocodile(scary) and Elephant (smelly)Shows. Reason No. 2: The photos taken in the other shows are not clear, either too dark or blur.

Last day in Bangkok, finally we had the chance to visit the city center. Two shopping malls that we visited are MBK Center and Siam Discovery Center.

Sky Train in the BIG city

At night, we walked towards the Chao Phraya River direction. We passed by a monument, possibly the Democracy Monument.

Anyone, pls tell me is this Democracy Monument?

We found another market. Lotsa stalls along the streets. I think it could be the Khao San Road. Yikes...I do not know the name of the places that I had been to that night. There are more than a LONG street in that market. Each street selling a same type of stuves. There are kueh, fruits, FLOWERS and food!

Variety of kueh could be found on the Kueh Street. We bought some:

They are too sweet!

Looks like grapes but they are actually taste like the ANG KU KUEH here.

The Thai dessert we normally found in Kuching. I prefer the one we have here.

The only food we bought was ...

Deep Fried Grasshopper

Eating the grasshopper reminded me the way I bite my nails when I was a little girl. Yucks!

FLOWER street. I could not stop myself from snapping some photos. There are alot alot ALOT of flowers. Somemore they are quite cheap!!!! IF only I visited the street on the first night...but since it was already 9pm and I was going to leave at 4am the next day, no reason for me to buy any of them! So people, let's just look at those flowers...

30 baht per BIG bouquet (that is RM3)

Hey flourist in Kuching, pls kindly get your rose supplier from Thailand and sell us cheaper Rose! Thanks!





I love the FLOWER street the most!
