Bangkok 14-20th May 2013

It's been a year since I've been to Bangkok, Thailand.
This time I went with my mom, it was 6 days of eating and shopping and nothing else, Shiok!!
Unfortunately, the weather was horrible, on the second day, it was 40 degrees Celsius!! WTF!!
I started perspiring the moment I left the airport until I reached the airport to fly back!!

The shopping and eating was great though. Somboon seafood was fantastic! we had crab, fish, prawns and fish maw soup at just a little over S$50!!
I was at chatuchak like 4 out of the 6 days we were there! crazy! Haha!!

Went to Rot Fai night market which I've never been to, it was great but sweaty due to the heat.
The trip seemed short although it was 6 days, I spent the first day at MBK which was a waste of time. I won't be going MBK on my next trip there.
Platinum was better with a better range of clothes and accessories.
I caught a movie at MBK though, Star Trek into darkness, pretty good but the first one was better.

My mom had trouble with her knees and couldn't walk up staircases so we took a lot of taxis and tuk tuks. I brought her to her favourite fried oyster shop at Chinatown and it tasted great!








I even enrolled in a thai cooking class with my mom and it was one of the highlights of the trip. We learnt all the Thai ingredients in cooking Tom Yum soup, green curry and Phad Thai. No MSG included.

I also bought the highest record number of fishes back from Bangkok this time after suffering from a few deaths the last trip. I bought a pair of each species and a few extra females of betta just in case. Some of them are already showing signs of dying now. It's definitely the water condition in Singapore, they looked very healthy when I bought them.
Anyway, I'm going to try breeding them.

Can't wait to book cheap tickets to Bangkok again!!
