The Short and Extremely Eventful Trip to Bangkok in June 2004


I was there for 2 nights, 3 days with my sister and a girl friend. I shall be writing some of the stuffs in detail later. Here are some brief and strange encounters which we met with when we were there.

Day 1
- Hotel booked and paid but srewed up be agent. Shifted to another hotel despite the fact tat it was pouring. In the end, instead of staying at Novotel Siam Square, we stayed in Amari Boulevard Hotel. The room was gorgeous but...
- Shopped at MBK and bought lotsa stuffs.
- We followed 12 men to their apartment but got away before they got dead drunk. We didn't know why we did that. Luckily nothing happened to us.
- Our hotel is located in the "liveliest" area in the evenings and we were mistaken by some fat, ugly, irritaing male tourists as the "girls". What the h***!!!!
- We were confronted by a transvestite in front of our hotel and it almost became nasty.

Day 2
- Jam packed at the JJ Market.
- Friend's mobile was pickpocketed.
- Bought quite a number of stuffs.
- Dinner at Thai Traditional Restaurant
- Visited Khao San Road and had a fantastic foot massage there

Day 3
- Visited Wat Pho and Emerald Temple
- Cruised along Chao Phraya River
- Realised that the plane is leaving at 11.50am at 11am. The departure time was not 2.30pm!!!! So blur.

ADVENTURE FINALLY ENDED
