Reached BKK, and the van that was supposed to take us to Hard Rock Pattaya needed a push start. WTH. So we decided to go straight to the hotel instead of getting the driver to bring us to eat in case the damned vehicle had problems starting again. Had a huge lunch at HRC

& then it was off to our rooms to get a short rest.

I like the idea of waking up to Kurt Cobain. Hehe.

We headed to the beach in the afternoon & everyone was touting & not leaving us alone so we went back to HRC pool to slack & had drinks there.

Evening after we had freshened up, we ventured to the streets & had local food for dinner. This is our hotel balconies when lighted up at nite.

It was so yummy though it looks gross! And of cos so cheap. Managed to do a little shopping & I bought myself a dress & a pair of sunnies. Tubs has gone crazy over cigars. Over the few days there, he bought 3 different boxes of mini cigars and they really stink up the room man. The boxes are really cute & I get to keep them so I’m not complaining.


Last shots @ HRC

DAY 2
Did some last minute shopping at HRC for souvenirs to distribute when we come back home. The van came pick us up at 11am & dropped us at our hotel. Tubs & I stayed at Centre Point Service Apartment.

I didn’t really like it bcos I found it pretty old & far too dim for my liking but Tubs liked it. We had room service – soft shell crab, coconut ice blended, pad thai and lobster bisque.

Met the rest of the girls at MBK for some shopping & we went back to our hotel for more room service after that – soft shell crab salad, katsudon, spinach soup and coconut ice blended.

DAY 3
We met the girls at Chatuchak at 11am & there were so much less puppies than the last time I came.

But they were so cute anyhow. The golden retrievers were so fluffy & I saw the prettiest husky ever. Even Tubs lived it to bits. One of it’s eyes were the most beautiful shade of blue I’ve ever seen. I think Chatuchak is mainly for me to see doggies cos by 2+pm, we couldn’t take the heat anymore & decided to head back to the hotel. The cab driver heard wrongly & dropped us off at Siam Centre instead but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise cos I managed to do some shopping there. Had dinner at Oishi Grand. It was a fab Japanese buffet & I was stuffed after that.
At nite was off to Suan Lom nite bazaar. I like! Even flooring, many shops, it wasn’t very hot, it was easy to walk in order so we could cover every shop + there was beer & live band & fries & pizza & chicken wings & great company. Yay! We liked it so much we decided to return the next nite. Haha.

DAY 4
We went Platinum Mall & lunched @ KFC. They provide metal fork & knife can. We just used our fingers. Haha. I liked the place but Tubs had a backache so he went to get a massage while I walked with the girls til 630pm when it was closing & tubs came to pick me up cos I refused to go back to the hotel on my own. We went to Coca for dinner & it was yummers but I wasn’t hungry so I didn’t eat much. Went to Suan Lom for more shopping after that but we skipped the beer this rime round & headed to Patpong instead.

DAY 5
Woke up early, did some last minute packing, and rushed to Central World to grab some pretty undies from La Senza. I wanted to shoot myself for missing that place but it’s ok. I’m happy with my La Senza purchases. Took a cab back to our hotel, loaded our luggage & headed to the airport to meet the girls. Had lunch in the airport & I think there’s where Tub’s got food poisoning. So much for avoiding road side stalls..

5 days in BKK seems like a long time but I haven’t covered a lot of malls & another day extra would have helped a lot but its ok. I had fun nevertheless. Everything was cheap, the weather was good & I had the best company ever! But I think it’s no good to have a hectic holiday right smack in the middle of the work week. Shag like mad. Should just go to a nice cool weather country or to a beach resort for a spa session. Haha. Now all I have to do is wait for my depleted bank account to grow again.
