Bangkok

3rd of June was my ENVS2630 test, 40 MCQ questions. Seem easy but it was not. Didn't study much because of my fever a week earlier. Anyway took a day off to study it hope that something can go into my head. Because of the fever, I think I lost some of my memories, can't seem to think of what I have learn. After the test, it was the Bangkok trip. Can relax for awhile before I start on my assignment again.

This was my third trip to Bangkok but first time going with Jerlyn's family and also going with such a big group. The last two trip to Bangkok was just for shopping and massage but this time Jerlyn's brother Jinson, added some sightseeing into our trip to make it different. Well first day reaching there, we went to restaurant to eat and then went for some night shopping at Pratunum market. It was quite late so most of the stalls is closing and we were quite tired so we didn't go for massage. Shopping was Jerlyn's priority in this trip while massage was my priority.

Second day we went to man-made floating market. We wanted to go to the original floating market but was told was too far. I think the drivers doesn't know the route well. At least Jerlyn found her traditional Thai snack at the floating market, if not we have wasted that trip. Went to two temples to pray too. The Buddha is really hugh. Shopping again at night to catch what Jerlyn have missed the previous night. After that was massage, our favourite Thai oil massage. The massage was good and I think their facilities and amenities have improve a lot since the first time I came to Bangkok in 2005 for massage. I remember at that time when having oil massage, they only give me a small towel to cover my family jewel. Now they have those disposable briefs like in Koh Samui for me to wear.

Third day was shopping all day. Went Big C, Platinum Mall, MBK to shop. Went to A&W to eat Jerlyn's favourite waffle too. I manage to fall asleep in the mall in the first time of my life while waiting for Jerlyn to shop. Never thought I could sleep in a shopping mall with so many people walking past me. I saw the guy beside me fell asleep, think he was waiting for his partner too. At night went to take their MRT which they call it BTS, to Chaopraya River to have dinner in a ship. Was quite unique but still prefer to eat my meal in stable ground. Went for massage again but this time was foot massage. The massage was not bad but oil massage was still better.

Fourth day was the day to go back. Met a taxi driver who knows how to speak English and know how to make business too. Next time when going Bangkok again can look for him. Even though we didn't buy much but we still go back with ten luggage compare to the seven luggage when we came.
