Thailand Day 1

oops finally get back to this blog, blogging about my travel blog entry =)

for your information, Malaysia is 1 hour ahead of Bangkok.

By the time we reached Bangkok, it's already afternoon. 

AirAsia flights landed at Don Mueng International Airport, which the cheapest way to go to the Sukhumvit Street area is by bus and BTS (Bangkok Train System).
we chose to stay at Sukhumvit Area because it simply is the most happening street (my opinion).
but there is another street, Khao San Street which Ken had always wanted to go because it's as happening as Sukhumvit Street and in the end, we didn't manage to go. give it a try maybe? =)

way of going to Sukhumvit Street
take the bus to Mo Chit Station outside the airport (30 Baht) and then by train, we went off at Nana Station (42 Baht).

Since our hotel was located at Sukhumvit Street Soi 1, Nana Station is the nearest to it.

BTS ticket.

BED BANGKOK (the hotel that we stayed in at Bangkok)

Hotel lobby. so cozy!

interior design of the hotel. 

forgot to take a photo of our room, it was a room for 3 people with an attached toilet.

quite satisfied with the room except that you could hear footsteps whenever people walking through. 

and some more, the location is good too, it would take you less than 10 minutes to reach the nearest BTS station, but of course, you could search for a nearer hotel to the BTS station. maybe just 5 minutes walk away? Agoda and Google it!

after settling down, we simply walked out the lane for a simple lunch 'cause we could probably swallow dinosaurs!

KFC lol! to be honest, i really preferred Malaysia's KFC restaurant a lot more.

reading the maps like mad. hee said she had never seen me being so hardworking.
and i was thinking "miss, STPM leh =.="

FIRST STATION 

so after doing some sorts of simple planning, we had concluded our first station which was a very famous shopping mall --> Terminal 21!
get the maps from the airport or any shopping mall information counter. FOC! 

if you're lazy to walk, feel free to take BTS to Asoke Station, we walked there because by walking along the streets, we got to see a lot of different cultures.

it's a themed shopping mall! let's see what themes were actually used.

LG Floor (Caribbean theme) : Banks, Gourmet Supermarket, some eateries.
G Floor (Rome theme) : Fashion Brand names. 
M Floor (Paris theme) : Fashion Brands by Thai designers. The M Floor is the floor you enter when coming from the skytrain platforms. One of the first 'shops' there is a really good located Starbucks with ample seating arrangements (though busy in the opening weeks). 
1st Floor (Tokyo theme ) : Ladies' boutique shops.
2nd Floor (London theme) : Mens' wear, T-shirts and jeans, sportswear.
3rd Floor (Istanbul theme) : Shoes, bags, fashion accessories, jewelry, gift and decorations.
4rd Floor (San Francisco theme) : Eateries and restaurants.
5th Floor (San Francisco theme) : Food court (named Pier 21-Food Terminal) 
6th Floor (Hollywood theme) : SF Cinema City, Fitness Center, IT Terminal (mobile phones and gadgets).

yup you're right! they used airport-and-cities themes. so creative and i'm so in love.

LOWER GROUND!

This floor has the concept of Caribbean Beach Town, decorated with beach, sea anchor and lighthouse. the light house is painted exactly like what i had watched in the Disney cartoon.

Strongly recommend this liquid nitrogen ice-cream! it's so smooth that i've never tasted such smooth ice-cream before. *drool*

Ground Floor!

For the Ground Floor, the concept is Heaven of Rome. It decorated sculptures with marble  mythic of Roman statues and well-known paintings.

*could not find any photo for the M Floor (Paris theme) and idk why =(

FIRST FLOOR!

oh Tokyo! They brought in the concept of Nakamise-Dōri Market and Harajuku Town. It reserved for ladies' boutiques, decorated sculptures with Sumo, Torii and Maneki Neko

SECOND FLOOR!

London bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down ~~
i wish i could move that double-decker bus back to my house wtf. soooooooo nice and i was really excited like a kid. LOL
This floor is decorated with iconic red telephone boxes, London's double-decker busses, Tower Bridge and Union Jack Flag. Made me totally feel like i was at Oxford Street!
MAD LOVE!!

introducing you with hee's new boyfriend! LOL. and apparently i was seducing him. *bad girl*

WTF!! another thing i would like to move back to Kuching! it's UNIONJACK chair! 

Third Floor!

Apparently,  Istanbul Market Town! Decorated with Istanbul's lamps and i love the lamps.
so antique and i bet they cost an arm and a leg! 

Welcome to Level 4!

oh USA USA USA!!! it's USA!!!!
This concept is Chinatown of San Francisco. It decorated sculptures with San Francisco Trams and Golden Gate Bridge,
Lemme show you the close-up look of the Golden Gate Bridge!

they took care all of the small details! Amazing!

Chinatown! at first we thought this floor has two themes LOL. San Francisco and China =.=

Hee took this. and she scolded us after seeing the photos we took for her LOL.

Ken took this. deserved the scolding. aiyo look at the angle. so not talented in photographing =p

i took this. got that bad ah? quite good right? why she scolded me T.T hahaha.

i compressed the photos and it turned out to be blurry what the heck.
so after shooting so much photos, we headed to fill our tummy up at the 6th floor!
the food court is very spacious and hygienic with a variety choice of food with price ranged from 20 Baht to 70 Baht.

Buy the card with any amount to your liking first, and then you may use the card to buy food and the amount inside it will be deducted accordingly. the remaining amount could be claimed at the same counter where you bought this card at first.

i miss the food there so much! so cheap and delicious.
grab a fruit smoothies! it's only 30 Baht.

stay tuned for my next blog post! =)
good days ahead.
