Huh! Just return home from an awesome trip to Bangkok.
At first I do feel pretty reluctant to joint this trip…of course I did
When thinking about HALAL meal out there. Personally, there ain’t no holiday if there ain’t no good food!
Apatah lagi I’m the one that need to organize this big trip…Walleiii
Got this book from Thai Tourism office in KL. Inside here listed all halal restaurant in Bangkok. Paling pemes Jen Siew Al-Hilal (on the way to airport) & MakYah Restaurant. So I can breath easily now ^-^*
Again, I’ve organized a company trip and we had decided to fly to Bangkok. What?
I’ve been given 2 choices – Bangkok or Bali? Shopping or relaxing? Majority voted for Bangkok because they prefer shopping! ..and most everyone has been to Bali before...I love shopping…everyone loves shopping ^-^*
Who’s not?
Maka...pena pun mula menari-nari...
Bayangkan ajer, auda sekarang tengah menonton ”First Class All The Way”..
Ha! Lebih kurang camtu lah kesahnya. Walaupun ada travel agent to take care everythings but still it needs to be organized. It sounds damn easy but organizing is like dying men! :-P Yer lar kalo trip chek sendiri2, bulih suka hati but bila dah ramai2 ni, even small tiny details pun need to give attention. Apa2 pun BODs standard level need to be given priority. Hati kawan2 seopis pun kena jaga beb…tambah pula multi racial...Kalo sumer kakyam & abang mat tak per..senang citer...
Adalah menjadi hasrat chek sebagai a successful organizer (cheewahh), yang penting at the end of the day -A happy trip :-D yeah! (tu lar, dulu soh jadi event organizer tak mo)
It started with choosing the flight. This time flew with Thai Airways. Huh! kelasss tau…(BODs chek allergik ngan foker or airasia -puas nak kena pujuk kalo nak naik belon abang tony) Sebab tu some of nice places I have to take out from my list like Koh Samui, Berjaya Tioman..sbb foker flight :-P
Then followed by hotel. Tahapnya musti 5star hotel. Kalo tak, sure tak dapat approval. Maka Swissotel Le Concorde @ Ratchadapisek adalah pilihannya kerna amat berdekatan skali dengan MRT (subway) & BTS (skytrain) station. 3minutes walks. Senang nak kesana-sini because Bangkok traffic is terrifying!!! Perlu diingat ini adalah percutian seopis, bukan latihan polis traffic...hahahha
Everything went smooth and easy…alhamdulillah.Cuma sumer dok komplen tak cukup time nak shopping…hambhoiii depa! Bukan main lagi tau..tak hingat dunia shopping. 4D3N tu rasa macam 4jam 30minit jar..huh! Maklumlah bawa ribuan henget.
Covering Chatuchak Mall jer dah 1 day, sight seeing – again another 1 full day, MBK pun required 1 full day..habihnyer camtu ajer…walaupun exhausted but really fun leiii…hoyee..hoyeee…
Apa kesah, malam after dinner I pampered myself with fullbody oil massage…huh! So refreshing and cheap -2hrs @ RM80 jer…tapi maybe sebab chek dah selalu workout & stretching…walaupun dah di massage rasanya samer jer :-)
1 tip from me -bila dah penat2 shopping tu, while waiting for the flight home to KL I suggest you to have foot massage at Chang at Suvarnabhumi airport. 45minutes RM50…fuh! Fantastic!...all 4days walking pain totally gone! A little bit pricey but just wanted to finish out my Bahtssssss :-)
Bon Voyage!
Tahukah anda there is Long Term Parking at Blok A @ KLIA? Yesss...I'm sure many don't know about this. Decided to drive and parked at KLIA instead of taking cab or ERL. Almost the same cost. Daily rate is RM43/day. For more convenient, I drove there. Konsepnya ialah Minimum parking 3days + RM15/day. So kalo 4days artinya 43 x 3 = 129 + 15= RM144.
Ok whattt :-P
Ini mesti! requested Halal meal for muslim travellers and kid's meal for children.
My lunch on the flight -Yellow rice + beef rendang + mix veges
Airport transfer by our local ground agent
The hotel!...as the photos speak :-) 
Where to shop in Bangkok?
Banyyaaaakkkkkk..on top of the list is Chatuchak Market (JJ market). It’s a weekend market open at 7am – 6pm. Sumer ada. Getting seriously chaos only at 10am and advisable to leave the market by 1pm. After 2pm onwards selautan manusia ada kat sana. Pretty hard to choose/bargain and even walk around. Tambah pulak panas terik. No air-cond ok.
Chatucak weekend market. Besar gilerzzz...standby yer tuan2 dan puan2 :-)
From hotel, I took MRT (RM2.70) and stop at Khampeang Phet Station. Right in front of Chatuchak market...so easy!
Chatuchak market floor map - jangan pusing ya! just walk..walk and walk...don't stop. Eventhough this market is open from 7am but all stall fully open only by 10am..Thais love to eat. If you walk into their shop, sure tengah makan punyer :-P
But shopping is definitely awesome! Cheap but don’t expect something in good quality. It’s Thai’s quality. Standard lah kalo dah 2-3 kali basuh pun dah koyak or faded..hihihii
Tapi just enjoy the market feel, follow the crowd, foot massage booths are everywhere and paling best – Coconut Ice Cream! Yummyyy…
Don’t worry for lunch, there is Halal stall near the Clock Tower in the middle of Chatuchak market. Mesti try Beef noodle soup and Iced Tea…fullamakkk!
I love this lorong...baju..baju...baju.. :-D
Dalam kehangatan terik mentari, tup-tup ada kedai ala2 English pulok...wahhhh!
Love this section -old/secondhand books. Bought few Sidney Sheildon @ cheap price.Behind Chatuchak, about 10minutes walk is JJ Mall. Selling things like Chatuchak but in air-conditioned multi storey building. Slightly better quality.
Forget those upscale malls like Siam Paragon (like KLCC), Central World (like Pavillion), Erawan Shine (like Starhill) and etc…all selling international brand. Kat KL berlambak2 yer dak?
Second hot top place ialah MBK (Mah Boon Kroon)..Fuyyooo! similar like Sungei Wang..with small shops and small lorong. Penin tu nak pusing2. Satu hari lepak sini jer.
Some shops bulih guna credit card but some are not. A MUST go place!
Sampai sini, sure gilerrrssss…fashion diaorang ni dasat..yang penting murah :-P
Kalo bawa isteri, dinasihatkan untuk turn on GPS system. Kalo hilang senang nak cari :-D
Other than that are Pratunam Mall and Platinum Mall. Sini pun dahsat! Mahunya tak nak balik…iskk…iskk..
Siamese cat at Chatuchak...Demuk sangat! so cute :-)
Pretty flowers @ Chatuchak
Vendor selling flowers for prayers.
You can ask the boat driver to stop at any stall if u wish to purchase anything.
Traffic jammed! Lagi lama lagi chek suker..hihihiii
Fresh fruits & food sold by pretty ladies on the boat
For good luck...
Another must go place is Chao Phraya canal cruise. Fuuyyo! siokkk...Long boat fee is RM20. Along the canal trip we stopped at Wat Arun, fish feeding near the local temple and Grand Palace & Temple of Emerald Buddha.
Wat Arun at Chao Phraya river. Gorgeous. 
Cantik yang amat! kagum chek dengan seni bina & architectural nyer...dasat!. Tapi nak habaq mai - panas tak hengat dunhia punya. Walaupun I did carry umbrella, hat and electronic fan but still don't give me any good :-( terik seterik2nya.. Kalo bulih try to arrange your visit in the morning. This temple closed at 4pm.
Beautiful!
Ceh! terer chek snap.. cam poskad..hihihiii
Former palace of Thai King.
Grand Palace from outside. Easy and safe. All those shopping places mentioned above are well connected by MRT or BTS. Beli jer 1 day pass then u can enjoy unlimited ride for a day. Lebih kurang RM12 (MRT). Exactly serupa like our LRT & monorail. Taxi are all new Toyota cars. Clean & colourful – pink, green, yellow, blue. Tut-tut pun ada but better than Jakarta's Tut-tut. Flying like lipas kudung...Huh! Scary!
Colourful taxis in Bangkok
Well, Bangkok is extremely pleasing for shopping and event worthwhile if you go for sightseeing. Certainly a great place to explore!
