We woke up early(as usual), have our buffet breakfast at the Hotel, went back the room to change and took a cab to CTC market.
My breakfast for the day
I was anticipating a futile trip. Frankly, I haven't got much luck with CTC market. It just wasn't meant to be. And it was HOT. I mean really HOT. Like hot HOT. And we were late when we got there so it was even hotter walking the scorching sun during Bangkok's hottest time of the year. I think if I do go back another time, I would pick January. Note to self: Always pick January!
We left after walking like an hour, empty handed, back to the hotel because I need to pee. Let just say my previous experience with the *ahem amenities over them left me scarred ever since. In fact, I can still remember how the toilet look like, and I had diarrhea. It was that bad, nightmare bad.
After having a short rest inside our room, we took a cab out to Chinatown Sampeng Lane! Sampeng Lane is really really long with 2 opposite narrow alleyways that led to shops and more shops, and more shops selling stuffs at dirt cheap prices.
We managed to comb the first end yesterday, and proceed to comb the opposite one today. And i saw lots and lots of fabrics! We walked, and walked, and after more walking, finally walked to the end of the aisle and saw KFC nearby, and off we went for a short lunch. It was great to escape the scorching heat. I have never been so glad to see KFC.
Recouping our energy after a yummy lunch, we walked back to that same aisle at Sampeng Lane, and did a reverse walk back to the front. I wanted to buy my fabrics but pity by the time we walked back, some of them have closed and I missed the chance to buy :(
It think it was around 4 plus when we left Chinatown and took a cab back to MBK. We shopped around until it was dinnertime, and stopped by for some Korean barbeque.
Then, we walked over to Siam Square, to shop around, and stopped by A&W for ice-cream waffles! Yum yum.
We walked opposite over to the stretch of shopping malls. Stopped by at Loft inside Siam Discovery Center. Love the stuffs they sell there! Them walked over to Siam Paragon for more leisure window shopping.
At the toy department
Super huge bear! I love Bangkok toy department, so many bears!!!
After having a full-filled time (note:just me!) hugging the bears for free, we bought some takeaways (Burger King for me & Fried Rice for Bear), then took a cab home and called it a night.
And that's day 3!
