Bangkok 20th - 24th April 2012 Day 1

Day 1
We took the super early 7.15am flight to Bangkok. The one we was supposed to take was at a humanly 10plus but I guess they squeezed the two morning flights together into one. Gosh.

We managed to sneak over to T2 to McDonald's for breakfast before checking in.Totally worth it compared to the crappy BK served inside the departure hall.


Yummy Hotcakes & Sausage Mcmuffin


I spent the whole time during the flight watching TV using my handy Samsung and it was a breeze passing all that time.


Waiting for our luggage...

We took a cab to our hotel. I think it came up to around 400baht. We checked in at the comfortable Courtyard Marriott!


Our comfy king sized bed. I spy meepok!



Doubles as our dining area



TV area



There seems to be a trend towards see-through bathroom nowadays...kinky hehe



Super clean!



Super clean!!



In fact, it's QOO standard clean!

After having a short rest inside our hotel room, we walked over to Central World Plaza under the blazing sun for lunch!


We decided to stop at this authentic Thai restaurant



Tom Yum Soup & Prawn Cutlets & Vegetable



Shrimp Paste Fried Rice

The food was good! After lunch, we walked around the mall enjoying the aircon and then headed over to Mister Donut for my donut fix!


my favourite!

Then it was over to Platinum Mall for major hardcore shopping. To my dismay, prices on average have gone up quite a bit. It was not as attractive as before! We shopped around for quite a few hours, stopped for my French Crepe & Bear's caffeine break, then shopped for a while more before heading back to Central World Plaza to stock up on drinks and snacks, finally walked back to the hotel.

We rested for quite a bit before heading out to Chinatown for dinner!


The ever busy Chinatown!






Shark Fin Soup


Fried Rice


Fresh steamed fish

We headed for Lin Zhen Xiang to buy some local foodstuffs and it was time to call it for a night!
