There isn’t much pictures from our second day at Bangkok because it was a Saturday and Saturday at Bangkok means Chatuchak day!
#1 Started the day off by eating street snacks. I didn’t try this though, not very drawn to sweet stuff.
#2 Sat down and had noodles before all of us go on a shopping frenzy. This is my very large bowl of coconut noodle, not large portion but a very large bowl. It was actually quite good, love it when coconut milk is added into spicy soup.
#3 Paella at Chatuchak which I really wanted to try but didn’t have the chance to. Too busy buying stuff wtf.
#4 Chatuchak now have some pretty nice mini pop-up cafes which is best for shoppers to take a break and rest their feet.
Okay that’s the end of my day 2 wtf hahaha!
We shop till evening, get ourselves a foot massage each and then went back to have dinner at Chinatown T&K Seafood.
We’re all pretty worn out by then but Fatty insisted that he wants to go to Speakeasy, Muse’s rooftop bar so I had to accompany him.
#5 There were two floors and we went to the highest floor which we did not step foot on during our stay two years ago. There’s a significant difference between the two floors and I prefer the upper floor. There’s also a dome for dining purpose and the ambiance looks really nice, would like to try it the next time. :)
Third day was dedicated to sight seeing so we booked a van to make our trip easier.
Itinerary was Maeklong train market (which my mom kept telling me how cute it is and that I must go) and Amphawa floating market.
Instead of going to Damnoen Saduak floating market that most tourist loves because it is one of the most popular, we opt for Amphawa floating market instead.
Damnoen Saduak is more of a commercialized floating market and Amphawa is famous among the locals.
#6 Selfie! Haha, I really like this picture because this looks really cute. Noticed how the three on the left was smiling without teeth while the three on the right was smiling with teeth. :D
#7 Thailand’s Kueh Chap for breakfast.
#8 Dessert that looks really like sea urchin.
#9 Candid! Yes, I was constantly using my phone. What a bad habit!
#10 Maeklong train market that is filled with tourists. It is one hour away from Bangkok city centre.
Maeklong train market is actually a wet market that is centered around Maeklong’s railway. Locals will buy their usual fresh vegetables and fresh seafood while tourists walk around, exploring the market while waiting for the train to pass by.
#11 5 tall Tays and 1 short Chow. :)
#12 ANGEL! My ass!
#13 Market is sheltered by awnings or umbrellas that hangs lowly and whenever a siren is heard, vendors will store away their produces and pull back their umbrellas in order to allow the train to pass by. This is what all vendors do few times a day.
#14 Important ladies in Fatty’s life. (Haha cheat one, I tiptoed a little bit.) :P
#15 Maeklong’s market iconic fish. I like how they store it in a dim-sum look a like basket.
#16
#17 Fried frogs? Wtf.
#18 Vendors at work, pulling in their umbrellas.
#19 Train’s here!
#20 It was really worth seeing and do check on the train’s schedule in order not to waste so much time.
#21 This boy likes to smirk so much he thought he’s Edison Chen.
#22 Amphawa floating market is just 15 minutes away from Maeklong train market.
#23 We reached a tad bit early so it wasn’t fully open yet. Maybe you can try reaching at about 2 or 3pm. There’s a lot of food around and I’d really like to try eating by the river on small wooden chairs.
#24 One and only picture of us taken on the boat turned out blur. :(
#25
#26 Passed by an abandoned temple which looks magnificent somehow.
#27 You know it was so chilly in Bangkok and we did not walk under the sun THAT much, Fatty got fairer after 5 days. I prefer the fairer him.
#28
#29 Instead of taking our lunch by the canal, ordering through the vendor on boats and eating while almost squatting down we went into a restaurant instead. Fatty’s father prefer the comfier way.
After lunch we went back to city centre and checked into So Sofitel.
Third day, to be continue.
