Because of last minute arrange this trip, I am not able to secure cheaper flight seat from Air Asia. So I have choose MAS because the price is almost same. And so I fly alone from KLIA instead of joining my friends that fly from LCCT.

The cute Harrods Teddy Bear is still at KLIA. But this time no one take the camera for me. So I can't take the photo with this big teddy bear.

A tired traveler having a sleep at the couch. But with her face facing down, I taught it is corpse there. XD

The MAS airline meal is not much better. But since I am hungry I just finish it. Not much to comment except that with the box packaging, the manage to keep the fried rice with shrimp really hot when it is serve.

After going thru the hassle to travel from airport to hotel, I finally reach it. The hotel is really great as what I expect. XD

This is the corridor that connect my room to the hotel corridor. On the right is Dresser for me to keep clothes. And on the left is 2 full body mirror for me to check how I look before going out. Nice? This corridor will connect tot the bedroom first before going to the living room.

This is the kitchen. Have all basic need such as pan, small pot, microwave etc. But too bad I never use it except for cooking water. XD

This is the bathroom. No shower stand here. Just a JACUZZI that has enough space for 2 person. XD
Toilet, basin, hair dryer and other basic amenities is all available.

Jacuzzi. Everyday after a long walk or shopping in Bangkok, a hot water bath is refreshing. (^__^)

The King sized Bed. I need to roll 3 times from one side to reach other side. But this hotel a bit old, so the bed made some noise if when I am rolling on it. Also I feel the mattress a bit too hard. I guess I just miss my bed at Malaysia. I forget to take the photo but there is a 42" inch Samsung Plasma TV facing the bed. It is link to a DVD player too. So if you are here on holiday with your lover, you can play some nice love action movie on the TV and enjoy the big bed. XD

The living room with a great view of surrounding. Right now it is night. Not much to see outside.

A chic hotel Le Fenix Sukhumvit. This hotel is recommended by many Taiwan travel agency and travel magazine. Not sure how it is but sure look nice.

Q bar that is opposite Le Fenix Sukhumvit hotel. Most hotel near this area will have complimentary free entrance to this bar. But mostly traveler especially the European people visit this bar. The local thai prefer not to come here. There is another more chic club near this area call Bed & Supper. I plan to visit and take photo later but in the end of my stay in Bangkok, I did not find time to visit it. orz
Wasted my complimentary free entrance.

This hotel look really good. Not bad for my next stay in Bangkok trip. (^__^)

Dosa King. Dosa means sin in malay language. So this place means King Of Sin. XD

My first dinner in Bangkok. McDonald BBQ Pork Rib Burger. (^___^)

I have decide to go Bangkok last week Monday. Booked the hotel and airplane ticket on Tuesday, settle my Malaysia things on Wednesday.
And then start to do homework on Bangkok trip from other people experience.

First of all is the transport in Bangkok. Bangkok road traffic can be a real headache to everyone due to the traffic jam. To avoid getting stuck on the road, the best transport method in Bangkok is BTS.

Below is the map for the BTS, MRT  and the Airport Train route. Suggest you print a copy and keep in your wallet. for easy reference.

Take note on the green line. That is the most important train route in Bangkok. Most of the place of attraction such as Central World, Siam Paragon, Erawan Shrine(四面佛) is near this route. So for choice of hotel, try choose hotel that is near any of the BTS station in this route is a first choice. Unless you have other priority in Bangkok such as business trip, then you can consider a hotel nearer to the company.

Next is to get out from Airport. If you did book the hotel near the BTS, you can consider getting the Express Train from Airport to BTS Praya Thai station(Ticket price is 90 Bahts). Otherwise most hotel have pick up service for their guest. You can arrange for the pickup during booking. (**NOTE** : Booking from the hotel main website normally will show this option. But if you book from website such as Agoda.com, this option is not available.)

Another important tricks in Bangkok traveling is, always do not trust the taxi or tut tut driver that approach and offer to take you to your destination. These driver normally charge 2 times to 3 times of normal meter charge. Always stop the taxi that is on the main road, and ask them to use the meter. If the refuse, do not hesitate to get out and get another taxi. There is never short of taxi in Bangkok, unless you live in a very secluded alley or more outskirt of Bangkok.

The next thing is communication. Since international roaming call is expensive, getting the local mobile package is a good idea. Depend on which mobile service you prefer but major mobile service is available in airport. I have choose DTAC Happy Package. Cost 89 Bahts but have 35 Bahts preloaded for call.

Sanitation in Thai is not the best. Especially with the hawker stall at the road side. Just a careful view of the area or how they prepare the food, you can guess it. If previously you have bad problem with bad hygiene food before, do not try to take it. 7-Eleven is the best place to solve most of your light meal or supper. Most hotel will have a 7-Eleven within walking distance. For good meal you can go for the hotel restaurant. However if you have no problem then you can enjoy the best Thai food. The best Thai food is street food. From the Thai fried rice(Pad Thai), Mango Sticky Rice, the BBQ hotdog, BBQ chicken, pork etc.

Moody Friday.......

My mood is quite bad now...
Coz I am damn sick.
Sore throat to the point that I do not wish to talk anymore.
Even just drink water also will feel pain.
I guess it will be another boring weekend, where I just stay in house to sleep.
orz

Also a friend of mine who happen to be in same company with my ex-gf told me a surprising news.
My ex-gf hate me. When chat about me, she is very fury. I taught we break up peacefully, and that I manage to reduce damage to her to the minimum.
I guess in any love relation, to be friend again after breakup is impossible.

Also my friend say I always dine in at extravagant place. But for me, it is just once in a while. Maybe one month once.
Still too much?
Demotivate me to blog about my recent restaurant visit.

The only good thing that make me smile recently is I heard 3 very nice song. All is movie theme song. Hope I can find someone to watch the movie with me.
But if no one interested, maybe I just go alone.....

Olivia - 海枯石爛 from movie One Day. ( This song is the Chinese Theme song. The original movie theme song is not sure)







胡夏 - 那些年 from movie 那些年，我們一起追的女孩 (Apple of my eyes)







JJ Lin 林俊傑 - Love you you from movie 夏日樂悠悠
