Bangkok Eat & Drink V3

Abit weird that we visited HRC in Bangkok. Well we just too hungry to look for other food in Siam Square. And we desperately need to sit & relax our legs.
Oh, and it’s a NON SMOKING restaurant.

The most expensive food we had. But it was ok. It was very nice in term of display & taste. So no complain.

OK no more drink liao.. next post will tell you about your route planning during your stay in BKK.

Bangkok Eat & Drink V2

Seafood in all variety. Goreng, steam, RAW. (eeeeeee)

Surprisingly it’s really nice with tender meat. But i think Taiwan Sausage still the best.
it’s 10 bht per stick

Walking nescafe stall

My LONG AWAITED PORK BURGER!!

Finally i got to taste some pork from McDs…

Corn pie, pineapple pie & Taro pie anyone?
WTH is a TARO? isn’t it some kind of PLANT??

Chang, Singha light, Chang Light, Leo Beer – 24 bht
Singha – 30 – 35 bht
Heineken – 38 bht
I never looked for any other beers that’s higher than 30 bht price tag.
Mind you though, no beers available after midnight. So, stock up before the clock hits 12.

All stall food was stumbled upon by luck. Don’t worry too much about the language barrier. Just point & order. Most of them cost between 25 – 30 bht only. Unlimited supply of chili flakes, garlic chili, prawn sauce.

Take a short walk from Exit 1 (MRT) and you’ll see a busy area.
Actually it opens everyday (except Tuesday – so i heard) so you don’t have to wait till weekend.
Everything from A to Z can be obtain here. Including pets.

Muay Thai Ticket which can be obtained from any Tourist Agent. Other then selling tour, they do sell ALL kinds of tickets.
I got mine from T.A.T. (open from 7am – 11pm)
If you do need tour around Thailand they could help to arrange as well.
If you are planning to watch Muay Thai, ticket can be obtain at the stadium on that day itself. There’s alot of PR by the road (with VERY NICE red muay thai jacket) to help you.

Siam Paragon & Siam Discovery Center (branded stuff)
Easily reachable by BTS (BTS – LRT) @ National Stadium Station / Siam Station.

In MBK, there’s a very big DVD store where you can find EVERY SINGLE DVD titles. There’s even a book with PRIDE color on it.

And when there’s no stock / or you buy alot, they will send it to your address within 24 hours.
So head there early if you plan to bring back some copies of DVD. (only worth it if for sure you can’t find those titles here in KL, JB, Penang)
The DVDs pricing ain’t as low as here.

Aha. Khao San Road. A place for ‘Fareng‘ (Quai Lows). All marked up price items. A road just like our Petaling St. Cheap motels, backpackers are all located around.
There’s even a muay thai gym nearby and all i see are farengs putting RM40 for 3 hours of class. OMG. But most of the trainers do speak fair english.
And there’s a airport coach station (non aircondition) located here. 100 bht per head.

(Note: -Not worth if you are not travelling alone, as you can easily get to the airport between 250 bht – MAX 400 bht, depending on your negotitation skills.)

Anyone wanna pick me up from LCCT? Guess i’ll be going with a backpack, and hopefully coming back with 2 luggages, and i’m still in 1 piece. Muahahahar. Sovenirs available, only if u bank in $$ to me before hand.

Not sure if i able to post any since i have no roaming. No mobile blogging. But will still try. Till then, adios!
