Day 3: Free & Easy Day

We did not plan an itinerary for this BKK trip.. We will just relax & do whatever we wanna do.. ( I admit, for me most of it is shopping... )

We woke up around 10am BKK time.. This is rather late compared to our other trips when I will wake up super early in the morning so that we can cover more places.. 

We had our brekkie at a noodle place near the hotel.. After brekkie we went to check out the Pratunam market across the road.. I never thought that inside those small alley is such a big space.. It is a market built inside a warehouse.. (at least to me, it looks like it..) Like normal market, the stuffs sold is catered more to the mature crowd.. But one special thing is, there are quite a no. of shops selling stage wear.. 

These are what we had for brekkie & lunch.. 

We went to Platinum later.. Did some last min shopping cause our flight is at 130pm the next day, we will not have time to do any shopping.. Went back to the hotel to put my loots after a few hours of shopping cause we need to go to Sukumvit Soi 3 for Benny's fitting.. 

That is the thing that makes my blood boil.. We went there & found out that the tailor did not manage to make the clothes on time.. If he is honest to tell me frankly that, I will not be that angry.. Instead he told us that, OH..... you no need to come for fitting at all ah.. I thought I mentioned that to you before? We will use your previous measurements, should be fine... 

WTF, it was him who told us to come back for fitting @ 4pm sharp today when we came 2 days back... Now he is telling me a total different story.. In addition, we already told him dun use last years' measurement cause its not really fitting.. Now he tells me he is using that!! We insisted on doing the fitting but he said the shirts are not with him... Really suck thumb!! We swear we wont be going back to the same tailor anymore...  (For those who want to avoid going to the same tailor as us, just ask me before you go BKK)

Another sucky thing is, it is the peak hour & we could not get any cab back.. Every cab we hailed  want to charge us a fixed amount to go back to the hotel & it is like 3x more than metered... When we finally got onto a cab which charge us by meter, he purposely use the most congested road & when we paid him upon reaching, he claims he din have change & want us to treat the shortfall as tips.. OMG.. What a bad experience... It is all these stupid drivers that ruin the effort of those really nice ones we met before...

But it is because of this stupid driver, I manage to get my transformer luggage bag.. It almost 50% cheaper than the one I saw @ Nana.. (Still, I will not forgive the taxi driver despite that!!) At least, I got a reason to be happy.. :P 

I went back to Platinum to change my top before heading for our massage.. The one we went today is so much painful than the previous one.. But its so~~~~~ shiok!!


We decide to stick to our plan & head down to Chinatown for dinner.. Took a cab & realise you must tell the driver you wanna go to 'Yauwarat', most of them duno what is Chinatown.. The driver told us that cause its the CNY period so the night market wont be open & asked us wanna go SomBoon or not... Luckily, we did not believe him.....


He let us alight along a road which is quite quiet.. We decide to explore around since we are already there.. Worse come to worse, we will just sit at any store that is open.. :P As we walked along a small alley, it becomes more & more lively.. 

Along the small road.. 

Checking out the menu...

My turn... Pardon me for my messy hair.. :P


We walk further down the small road & there it is~~ the roadside store that I am looking for.. It's OPEN & full of people.. ( I rem it the place from 美食大三通) Super duper happy.. The price of the food there makes me even happy.. hehehehe.. 

Remember this place.. There are 2 roadside store side by side.. (I will try the other one & let you know the review)

We are sitting right next to the road.. 

I think the coconut must be really sweet.. 

Our spread for the night!!


Dinner was superb.. Especially the grilled King Prawn, it is so fresh & yummy.. Next time when I come BKK, I will come here every night for dinner..... hehe.. 

Chanced upon this mobile snack stall.. They seems to be really popular... But we were too full for the doughy thing they are selling.. Looks like mini you tiao with condensed milk & other toppings.. 


We took a walk along the main road & there are quite a no. of food stalls around.. 

As it is Valentines' Day, we saw alot of couples around the place too.. 


Tonight is a feasting night for us cause before we know, we are sitting @ another store waiting for our food to be served.. :P

We head back to our hotel around 12 midnight.. Feeling super bloated & satisfied.. hehe...  But the sad thing is, we need to pack our things for tml.. :( Time passes really fast, there goes our 4d3n BKK trip.. But the happy thing is we bought alot of things... (Well, i admit is I bought alot of things..) We did the usual things..................

Dear's loots.....
