This trip is slighlty different from my last trip ..
beside achieving a relaxing getaway ..
i wanted to do some sightseeing which i haven had a chance to do so ..

on the very first day

we took ferry and criuse down the chao praya river ..

people say trip to bangkok is incomplete without visiting the one must see sight
The Grand Palace !

and i very much wanted to come here ... :)

city's most famous landmark. Built in 1782 - and for 150 years the home of the Thai King,
the Royal court and the administrative seat of government -
the Grand Palace of Bangkok is a grand old dame indeed,
that continues to have visitors in awe with its beautiful architecture and intricate detail,
all of which is a proud salute to the creativity and craftsmanship of Thai people.
Within its walls were also the Thai war ministry, state departments, and even the mint.
Today, the complex remains the spiritual heart of the Thai Kingdom.

here are some pics that i took which i'm really attached to
after visiting =)










after visiting we head down to
chinatown for their famous yummy sharkfin soup !

One of the must things to do in Bangkok nights out.
You'll find an endless street vendors all across the street and soi (lanes).

You can get all sorts of chinese food in Chinatown.
I like the open air style places that have noodle soup , desserts etc!
It reminds me what it use to look like in the olden days of spore !
( thou i'm not born yet la lol )

day 2 ..

on our way to weekend market ..

Though there are many markets throughout Bangkok, Chatuchak Weekend Market
is still pretty much the undisputed king of them all.
The scale of it is pretty unbelievable - it covers an area of 70 rai (35 acres),
contains more than 15 000 shops and stalls, has over 200 000 visitors each day,
and they spend an estimated total of 30 million baht (approx US$750 000).
The range of products on sale is extensive, and includes household accessories, handicrafts, religious artifacts, art, antiques, live animals
(which unfortunately are frequently caged in cruel conditions),
books, music, clothes, food, plants and flowers etc...

i had a good shopping time there but the weather there is super uber unbearble !




these cute lil doggies really caught my eye ...

oh .. back to the hotel ...

they have a plunge pool located at the roof top
, poolside bar, small outdoor Jacuzzi, fitness and spa rooms offer relaxation for all guests.

enjoy the paranomic view

and overlooking the skyline of the busy district ..

oh well.. how could i not seize the opportunity to take a dip
into such an inviting pool under this scorching hot weather ! woots !

while lawerenz enjoying his peaceful moment ...

Mr D having a great time in the pool alone ! hur hur !

emo emo ... lol

me & victor !... er.. wait ! who is that random guy behind ! -_-"

Four Faced Buddha in Erawan is a tourist attractions where worshippers both locals and foreigners will pay respect. There have been no further hitches since then, and the shrine has became famous for bringing good fortune & luck . The name Erawan comes from Brahma's thirty-three headed elephant.

shopping @ siam square !

After shopping , we wanted a place where we can quench our thirst ,
we randomly walked into this small little shop name mango tango ,
which serve mainly mango .. thou i'm not a big fan of mango
but i'm willing to give it a shot after looking at the menu
and the attractive interior of the shop .

Though Mango Tango primarily sells mango based desserts,
other fruit based desserts are also available.

last but not least
