Bangkok Day 1 – Palace, River and Condoms

May 3, 2009 – 11:00 am

I guess I shall adopt blog post style ala Pinkpau style. Because it would be easier and nicer without much words, but just pictures and captions.

Also because I got so many pictures and I am lazy to elaborate the details of my trip and what not. Because, you should be going for the kind of trip that I went to and enjoy it yourself.

Also because pictures speaks a thousand words..

Now.. do enjoy… the 30 pictures I’ve selected over thousands of them…

#1 – So I was at the BTS station… (no, that’s not me…)

#2 – We wanted to do Chao Praya river cruise, so we headed to Saphan Taksin station.

#3 – Here comes the train…

#4 – We could have done the cruse ourselves but decided to take a tour then. It cost us THB 1300. Well, it is not really worth it. You can actually get less by going way down to the pier and rent a boat to go tour the river yourself, without a tour guide that is.

#5 – Our boat for the four of us…

#6 – Saw some temples along the river…

#7 – The Wichai Prasit Guns…

#8 – We made some charity fish feeding…

#9 – Saw a mini floating market…

#10 – Laid back lifestyle for the people staying along the river…

#11 – Artist house along the river banks…

#12 – Grocery store…

#13 – We made a tour to the King’s Palace…

#14 – Our tour guide. Let’s call him Bob and he is good because he can talk. We were exhausted because we talk too much… hahaha

#15 – More temple pictures…

#16 – Camwhoring in the temple… No, it is not illegal…

#17 – Very the golden…

#18 – We left all the temples action back to the city. But couldn’t go far, because we had to make our way to Erawan Shrine near our hotel or better known as the Four Face Buddha.

#19 – Flowers for offerings…

#20 – I had Pork Burger at McDonalds for tea break… Oh the yummy…

#21 – Back to the hotel. Rest. Then headed over for dinner at Cabbages & Condoms.

#22 – Saw Arirang Korean Restaurant on our way to Cabbages & Condoms. Wonder if I would encounter similar cool & cold korean lady there?… hmmm..

#23 – After dinner, we asked for mints after the meal but they gave us condoms instead. -_-

#24 – We then headed to Sirocco at the top of Lebua Hotel, State Tower for some drinks and breathtaking views of Bangkok at night. Very nice place indeed. Another post for this place.
