the city of LIFE!

sawadeeka! :)

Bangkok  is derived from two primitive Thai words, i.e. "Bang" meaning Village and "Kok" meaning Olive.

 we caught an early flight and settled in our lovely and cosy hotel at Sukhumvit road.:) and the first shopping complex we hit was MBK shopping complex!!

our main mode of transportation was the railway system!! a walking distance from our hotel is Asok station.one great thing about Bangkok is everything is linked through the rail system.once hopped onto it.you can reach your destination without going through the hustle bustle of the crazy traffic.:) 

the Damnoen Saduak floating market is a must visit! :)

this place is routinely crowded with hundreds of vendors and visitors floating in their rowing boats selling and buying food and souvenirs.It is definitely an attractive place for us tourists to observe this old and traditional and cool way of selling and buying goods! They push and bang through each other's boat.happening sial!!! :)

Chinatown.

this is the old way of removing skin from your face.using only a fine string! Chinatown began to take shape at the same time as the establishment of Bangkok, when the Chinese inhabiting the old town areas were moved outside the city walls. The best chinese food can be found here!!! the pork knuckles.*Mmmmmmmm* =D

Suan Lum night bazaar!

this place is like Bangsar.really pretty.but don't expect to buy anything from here!! cause for the same piece of clothing we bought from Platinum.they sold it for a whopping rm70 more expensive!! =X we had my Tom Yam Gung here.:) 

CHATUCHAK market!!!

Covering 70 rai (35 acres) of land with over 15,000 stalls and more than 200,000 visitors every Saturday and Sunday, Chatuchak Weekend Market in Bangkok is the mother of all markets - and possibly one of the biggest and most famous markets in the world.This place is CRAZYYYYYYYY.i tell you the flock of people that visit this place.we're like ants if viewed from above! they sell practically everything there!! From roosters and chopsticks to vinyl records and a pair of Levi hipsters that you haven't seen in shops for years.there's puppies, flowers, furniture, shower caps.........you name it.they have it! haha :)

apparently the most famous snake show in the world! our tour guide brought us here.but nahh.not interested! hhaha.the diamond parlor didn't interest us either.xD

 went to a carving museum thingy..really amazing talents they have!! just a simple drawing.they can picture it in their head and carve out a 3d art!! *salute*

Thai people are really religious people.they pray practically anywhere and anytime! They have full respect to their king too.They have many many festivities and activities that are religion-related.pretty interesting to see a whole new different culture.:)

when we went there it was some motorbike festival.there were super chun bikes displayed out on the road.with few professionals showing their skills off..but the bikes.SEXYYYYY gila.;)

they truly live up to their name-the city of LIFE! the traffic just never seem to slow down....I think if i drive at Bangkok..my patience level will increase by a hundred folds! hahah.

in short..Bangkok is all about the FOOD and the SHOPPING.:) there's not much sight seeing to do as it's practically a happening city.the food.is bliss.=D had a wonderful and insane time shopping there.we practically walked like 5000 steps a day man!! (the tiredness only seeps in when we stop shopping) It is truly a shopper's den.<3

 che.we can definitely go Bangkok again when you're back! :)
