I’m back with some updates and pictures of my Bangkok trip from 19/04/07 to 21/04/07. On Day 1, I woke up at around 7am to prepare myself, do last min packing of my luggage and be on my way to airport to meet the rest at 10am.
Sharon & I at the airport terminal
I'm the earliest to reach the airport, lucky I have brought my ipod along to entertain myself while waiting for the rest. They arrived a few mins later and we went to Hans cafe for our breakfast and check-in to have a look at the stuffs in DFS. Nothing much attracted me at DFS, Stanrick bought a wedding magzine (so sweet!) and Stephanie started her shopping warm-up at DFS and bought perfumes at the store.
We reach Bangkok at around 1.30pm and we faster get into a cab and on our way to our hotel to unload our luggage and start our shopping spree as being planned in our itinerary by our dear Sharon.
Once we reached Pan-Pacific Hotel, we are given a pair of room at a corner on 27th floor. Stephanie and me will share a room and the lovebirds will have the other room. There is no inter-connection door between our rooms, but we are given a better deal in the hotel!! We are given two rooms that shared a private common corridor... Just imagine that we no need to close our door, just lock up the door of our common corridor and we can run in and out of each other rooms le... haha!

We rest for a while and we went to nearby McDonald for energy replenishment and took a cab to Platinum Shopping Mall as our first stop of shopping spree. It is a wholesale shopping mall that we will only be given special price if we buy three items or more within a store. However, I think we three girls do not share similar taste therefore, did not really buy much things at there.
Stanrick is very sian at there as there are no much stores cater for him... Ad for me, I bought a dress, a top, and some laundry stuffs at there. Actually, the laundry stuffs are quite nice, but do not have my size and that Stanrick still tease me on it... Aiya, see him so sian at there, dun mind him make a joke out of me... haha!!
After shopping around 2 hour plus, all of us are abit tired and we decided to head towards Chinatown for our dinner. Keke...Im very excited at this point of time not because of the dinner, but i can have my birdnest at there... Yummy! Sharon recommended us to a seafood restaurant at Chinatown and we ordered some dished that includes fish, veggie and Tom Yam Soup. Stephanie and I ordered 2 coconuts and Sharon with Stanrick ordered 2 bottles of coke. The food and drinks are very cheap and nice... Surprising, although there are a crowd in the restaurant, but they are very speedy in serving the food to us. I think it only takes them around 5 to 8 minutes to serve us all the dishes and it taste great! Although I dun take spicy food, but have to say that the tom yam soup is very very good!! Yummy!! After our dinner, we are deciding whether to eat durians or birdnest and the durians sold at there are very big. Wonder how it tastes like... However, in the end we decided to go to a Chinese store to have birdnest. Each of us ordered a bowl of it and we shared it among us. I think we really eat like pigs on the first day... Haha!

After dinner, we took a cab down to Suan Lam Night Bazaar. Heard from Sharon, that the bight bazaar is closing down at the end of April, so this most likely is my first and last time visit to this place le. The place is huge and there are alot of small shops in this bazzar. Here is the place that we really start our official shopping spree. It is better than Platinium as we can really bargain for a cheaper price and dun play play with me hor.. I have a good bargaining skills ever since i learnt it from my tour guide during my phuket trip a few years ago.
Even Stanrick's also loved this place and wanted to come back for second of shopping on the next day. I bought a skirt, a victoria design handbag and a pair of slippers at the night bazzar. As the two ladies, they also bought alot of stuffs as well. In total, i spent around $2.5k on today..

My Victory of the day!!
We head back to the hotel at around 10+ to 11 pm, and the toel really provided good services for their guests. They has provided "turn-in" service by placing the bath robes on your bed, slippers beside your bed and orchid on your pillow. So sweet of them..
Sweet Dreams
Stephanie went for her shower first and i unload my shopping bags. However, there are some funny noise within our room (talk abt it on the next time, as i'm now blogging after midnight). I distract myself by turning on the tv and playing with my hp.. Hoping that Stephanie faster finish her shower to accompany me.
