Bangkok 2024 - Long Read

 What started as intent to clear my AL became year end trip to Bangkok. And I'm not complaining 😊

The walkway of the hotel where we were staying reminds me so much of the place where Hyun Bin character stayed in the kdrama, Memories of Alhambra. The place Park Shin Hye owns.

            



Day 1 was more for makan-makan and jalan-jalan. IconSiam basement and level 5 are totally different concept that I felt it was a different place altogether.

           

            

            

                           The must have roti banana chocolate. So simple yet so satisfying 😋

All the food we had at IconSiam basement were delicious!


2nd time in Bangkok and finally got to try their famous dessert store, After You.



Street food opposite Platinum Mall





                    

      

Day 2 - Highlight of the trip despite the 3 hours ride.

First pit stop - Bubble In The Forest




Spotted some cows on the way to the Actual Excitement!




           

Memories made of playing with baby lion and feeding the majestic giraffes!


            

            


3 hours ride became 4 hours to return back to the city and first stop - food!


 



                                                             Got a cool ride back to hotel.

Day 3 - Wearing the thai costume in the morning and visited Wat Arun and cruise ride in the evening.

              

              

             

              

              


               


The buffet spread. While I enjoy the food, I think we were too focus on eating and the entertainment and missed out the beautiful night view during the cruise. 

      

   


Last day had to be cut short thanks to Scoot bringing the departure time way earlier than the original time. Didn't get to play at the salt water pool or sauna. Didn't get to squeeze in any massage time. 

But overall a nice trip back to Bangkok again. To explore other province in Thailand next time!

First time to Marina Barrage! - Quick read

 Bit and pieces around the area



                 

                 

                 






                     












Another month another staycay - Quick read

Squeezed in 1 night staycay all because everyone got confused with the flight timing 😂

When we realized 1230 meant 12.30pm and not 12.30am, almost cancelled the booking. But we went ahead because mom wants a staycay. She loves staycay ever since we introduced the concept to her. 

This time, a smaller and cozier room. And mom kept comparing the room with pool access which we got earlier in June/July. 




                

 





Maybe the runway view rooms next time? 😎
