actually i love everything bout bangkok.
except for 2 things.
first is the dust there. bangkok is really dusty, feel as if i’m covered with an inch of dust every time i’m back to hotel.
second is of course communication problem. thai people don’t speak much english ):
sometimes it’s a pain in the ass and all i ever say is ‘how much’ and ‘discount’.
but the good thing is they’re really really friendly people. (:
it’s hard not to love bangkok when…
1) you get to find coconuts everywhere.
best drink for us to refresh. and they taste really goooood.
not only can you find coconut juice, but there’s also coconut icecream.
one of the best icecream!! not too sweet but tasty enough and also really refreshing!
25 baht for the icecream plus a cup of coconut juice. super worth it!
2) yummy and cheap food everywhere.
just look at the prawns! 6 prawns for 100 baht. not tiny weeny prawns i’m talking about.
they seems to like fish a lot.
3) sometimes they have really cute stuff.
paper cup with handle for hot drinks! i don’t know i just think it’s cute cause i cant see any here.
mineral water in glass bottle. big glass.
tiny milo. :D i’m a fan of milo and i just have to buy it the moment i see it. too damn cute. a lot smaller than the ones in malaysia.
not cute. but don’t we all just love coke in glass bottle. old school.
4) for their McDonald’s.
thier ronald mcdonald is cuter than ours!
they have pork burger!! samurai pork burger or something. taste quite good actually.
they have corn pie and tuna pie. god i love their corn pie! i wish they have it in malaysia!
they have different kind of fried chicken. and one more thing, their sundae cone is cheaper than ours! not exceeding Rm1. pfft
5) getting public transport is as easy as ABC.
tuk tuk ru tuk. tuk tuk. tuk tuk is fun and faster to reach the destination if compared to taxis. the way they drive is as if they own the road. illegal turning and all, but i think no one cares. bwahah! but of course we always prefer taxis, with aircon inside and dust free.
i randomly took this picture and look! you can see 9 taxis in it. how can taking a public transport ever be a hassle thingy in bangkok!? hassle kalau in malaysia lah! pfft.
the rates for taxi is 35 baht once u get in. every 2 bath per km. cheap like mad can. it’s only 0.20 cents per km.
stupid shit it cost me bloody rm5 to get back from UCSI to my house. last time when i’m still young, i took cab from secondary school back home also cost me rm5. damn malaysia taxi tipu orang punya pfft.
okay, i need to stop ranting wtf.
some taxis in bangkok will offer you a price but it’s best to say no. just say you want it by meter cause meter is a lot cheaper.
but for tuk tuks, there’s no meter. but you can still bargain for the price they offer. (:
6) i get to bump into really really handsome guys ♥
bump into a few that is really good looking, my jaw dropped.
saw a cute guy doing some photoshoot when me and my friends walk to MBK mall. he saw me taking his pictures, he look my way and smile. :D
after we’re done at MBK mall, while we walk back I saw more people doing photoshoot and commercial.
and this guy almost makes me faint!!! he’s so good looking!! you should see him in real person.
and he too smile at my camera when i try to capture his pictures. why thailand people so good one?
7) and of course, shopping!!!
first, the stuff they sold there is dirt cheap. bangkok is the true shopping heaven no country can beat that!!
how can anyone not shop in bangkok? it’s a must!!
and second you get to shop everywhere. they have stalls like pasar malam everywhere.
you just have to stop, and buy something. they have stalls outside malls, under the pedestrian bridge, or even inside their BTS station. which is like our LRT station.
there’s malls for you to shop of course. malls like sungai wang, cheap and nice. (looks like sungai wang, but sungai wang not cheap not nice.) and malls like pavilion with lots of branded stuff, called Siam Paragon.
everything is cheap at bangkok.
shopping. food. transport. and not to left out, massage.
one hour of thai massage plus one hour of foot massage cost only 360baht.
malaysia will charge you for Rm100, minimum i think.
sigh, why malaysia like that one? so expensive. pfft me no likey!
i ♥ bangkok!
upcoming post will be pictures of me and my friends and the places we visit.
stay tune (:
