Bangkok Day 1

As an imsonia addicted person, I usually unable to sleep during the eve of my trip. However, this time around I feel nothing at all and went to bed at 12 midnight after last minutes packing my luggage. The feeling is so different compare to other trip as there is not much excitement. Maybe as age is catching up, the excitement is no longer as strong as younger time.


Wake up at 6am and have a quick bath and breakfast before departing to KTM station at 7am. I missed the 7am train and have to wait for 7.30 train which lead to me being the last to arrive KL sentral at 8.30am.


We opt for AirAsia bus as it was much reliable and arrive LCCT at 9.30am. We check in just on time and waited for 20 minutes before boarding the plane. To our surprise we have actually booked the ‘FD 3572’ flight which is a AirAsia Thai operated flight. We were greet with ‘Sawadee ka’ by the air stewardess and at that point of time, the ‘suah ku’ me realized that the whole plane will be operating in Thai language. The Airbus depart at 10.42am, a slight delay of 2 minutes which is consider very good to me.


We arrive ‘Suvarnabhumi Airport’ at 11.45am Bangkok time, after a 2 hour flight. Please be reminded that the time in Bangkok is one hour later than KL timing. We have our brunch at the Airbus itself. I took the infamous Nasi Lemak.


We get a metered taxi at the airport which in normal circumstances, the price is fixed and the metered was switch off. It cost us 445 bath. As usual, the driver will not be able to find the hotel that we stay as the driver in Bangkok are not really expert in their own road but with my heavy preparation before departing, I am able to usher the driver to our location.


We check into ‘SUK 11 Hostel’ at the famous Sukhumvit road. It was well located with 7-11 convenience shop in front of it. The hostel is a famous backpacker hostel full with foreigners ranging from European to Asian.


Upon check in, we rest a while and depart to Chatuchak Market at 2pm. From Nana BTS we headed to Mo Cit BTS station. Basically Chatuchak have everything under the sun..Say it and you will find it...





We have our simple lunch at Chatuchak of Spicy Soup Noodle and Pork Tender Soup Noodles. We shop around the Chatuchak Market, which is also the biggest market for 3 hours. It was stuffy, sweaty and tiring adventure. We spent a lot for food!!!




We rest ourselves at Chatuchak public park. To my surprise the park is well maintain and clean. They even provide free picnic mat around the park. The cloudy weather seem to be the best time to rest while waiting for Zhe Quan arrival.



We headed to Siam BTS at 6pm and we have a walk for about 1 hour before Zhe Quan appears. We shop around Siam Paragon, Siam Center, Siam Discovery and shop opposite Siam Paragon. Have our Samurai Pork Burger at McDonalds. It was normal and taste more juicy and tender than our normal McChicken.



We then headed to MBK which was few step away from Siam Discovery. We wonder around until 10.30pm before we headed back to our hotel. Feeling not enough, we end ourselves at night market under Nana BTS station and have supper of ‘Pray Thai’.


That was the end of our very first day in Bangkok.
