Bangkok Day1

this was our first trip to another country which is Bangkok!and it was his first time boarding plane~well thx to Airasia for providing us a low cost air ticket, and big thx to our parents for providing some sponsor to us too ;) we web checked-in the day before our flight, it was super easy and we printed the boarding pass. the return flight can be web checked-in too as long as it is between 1 week. after a 2hr flight here we are Bangkok!
On the way to the immigration counter and grab our luggage
we took the train to head to the city because it is faster and more convenient. The train is located in Floor B1. Just follow the sign board will do :)
well there are two types of train, 1 is the city and 1 is the express. the difference is the city line will stop in a few station and it cost from 15b-45b, journey time will be around 30min. while the express line will be a non stop ride until the station Phaya Thai and it cost 90b for a single trip and 150b for a round trip(can be use within 2weeks), journey time will be 17min. For more info you may get it here http://www.bangkokairporttrain.com/
We bought the round trip since it will be much cheaper and faster
Cam whore in the train
Our hotel was located near BTS On Nut (BTS= monorail). so once we out from the airport train just follow the sign board "To BTS"
The BTS ticket will be sold on machine and you gotta use coins only (5b & 10b). the counter is for you to change notes to coins. For more info about the routes, price and journey time click here
After a 30min train ride we reached On Nut Station and took Exit 2 about a 5min walk. Here is our hotel!ImmFusion Sukhumvit, a Moroccan design hotel, it is a very nice place for photo shoot ;) it has a laundry room with iron as well, a pool, a gym room, vending machine, a Ganesh Statue where you can pray and a lounge to hang out.
This is our room.
After we put our luggage, we headed to Tesco which is just beside the BTS for McDonald. Tried the burger of the month "BBQ Pork Ribs Burger" YUMMY~~
Since it is Sunday so we went to the Chatuchak (a weekend market which has 15,000 of stalls selling foods,clothes,handcraft,plants,pets,you name it. closed at 6pm) Took BTS to Mo Chit Station.
Once you are out from the train take the Exit 1. Walk down from the stairs and keep walking straight about 10min. Then you will see a junction and turn right, then keep walking straight u will see the big sign board which states Entrance 2.
The Map of the Chatuchak. U can get it at the information counter.
It is very hot so remember to wear your sunscreen, hat/cap and bring your umbrella as well
This is the inner part of Chatuchak, there are a lot section so if you see something you like BUY IT,because you might not found the shop again.
Some of the food stalls we ate at. This Black Pepper Pork was so good and we ate 2 times
The FAMOUS coconut ice-cream is a must try!
The kebab is great too~~~
This stall is selling a BIG SIZE Prawns. We did not try though.
We ate Chicken Kebab, Black Pepper Pork,Coconut Ice-Cream and Squid Egg( A must try too!)
After a few hours of hanging in Chatuchak, we decided to call it a day. on the way back to BTS. We saw a food stalls with a mountain of vegetables!
After a quick rest in the hotel, we went to the night market which is next to the BTS for dinner. We ate Pad Thai(Thai Fried Kuay Teow), BBQ Clams, Roti Telur & Pisang ( it was GOOD!!! different from the one we have here. sad that we only get to eat it 1 time, the guy did not open his stalls for the next few days), Fried Chicken Wings with Glutinous Rice and Somtam(Papaya Salad) Yummeh!
We was SO FULL until we had to drink ENO ==
Did not buy anything at Chatuchak since we did not see anything we like.
