At 5.45am, took cab from my place to Terminal 1 airport. Once reached there, went to the Jetstar counter to queued up for check-in. It was so long queue. We took 7.10am flight 3K511 to Bangkok. The time difference is -one hour Singapore time. After check-out from the Bangkok check-point, wanted to go collect our luggage. But heck, waited for the luggage so long, but didn't see the red n blue and with the "wang wang" sticker bag come out. Then went to ask the duty
officer, they found out our luggage checked-in in the next flight. *puke* . So we gave the officer our hotel address and ask them to sent the luggage to the hotel once it reached there.
Took cab to our hotel from airport. Crap, it was so so jam. Terrible jam. Finally reached our hotel - Samran Place Hotel. Checked in into 1 of the room 1st (as another room still occupied).
Started our journey no.1 - early lunch.. hahaha.. While walking, we saw a fast food rest which i think cant find in spore anymore -> A&W . Ewwww.. went in and ordered the waffer and rootbear. yummie. Nice.
Then we took cab to the Grand Palace. The place was huge. Gotta buy ticket to entered the palace. Well, about the history, i really have no idea. We just went in and walk and took pic. Then something funny happened. Nicky's pant tore becoz kena by a sharp statue. Tore at his back of the butt. omg. Funny man..hahaha.. then he gotta use the map to cover up the hole while walking. No choice, gotta took cab back to hotel and change. muahahhaa... now think back still can remember the scene.
Next destination, we proceed to Chinatown. But before that, they wanted to find a tailor shop. Then there is a lady on the street asked us where we wanna go. So we asked her and showed her the tailor's name card. Then she told us this shop already moved very long time ago. And she told us the location of the shop but is the different name. Then she said they change the shop name. So we took "tuk tuk" car to that place. Opppsst, really is not the correct shop. Coz the shop charge very expensive. Kena tipu by the lady. IIsshh.
Then we took cab to chinatown. The place is a bit like HK, maybe bcoz it is chinatown ba. hehehe.. Hang around there till evening like tat. Then we go to Suan Lum Night Bazaar by taking Bangkok MRT.
We took our dinner at the foodcourt. The foodcourt was big and even got liveband. So Cool! Had tom yam and mango with sticky rice. Tom yam so so only (not spicy enough and a but salty). Mango with sticky rice is nice. Eat full full, start our shopping spree.

Morning called at 6am. Gathered at hotel lobby at 6.30am. Ready to go Floating Market. We signed up the 1/2day tour to the floating market from the hotel.
Journey to the place took about 45min. Wanted to sleep in the van, but so difficult to sleep. Keep bouncing at the back. aiyooo..
First they brought us to the elephant park. Waited for the other members to take elephant ride. After tat go the floating market. Took the boat ride to the visit the market. So crowded over there. And the ppl will pull our boat to them and ask you to buy things.
After tat went to Crufting factory. Those ppl really expert in crafting. Very patient doing and very nice.
The last place she brought us is to the diamond factory. Which we really not interested. Lucky just for a while. So boring!!
After the tour, we proceed to Chatukchak Market. 1st thing we did when we reached there was finding food, coz too hungry. Since morning never eat anything. Went to a rest and eat. Food and drink oso not bad. Satisfied. Then got energy for shopping. Very crowded and hot in the market. Started to buy and buy. But 1 thing kinda disappointed me. Coz i heard ppl said there is a place can bargain a lot. Heck, not at all. Bargain with them, they dun really give a damn. Sigh~~ Make my mood oso sien. But still managed to buy things la. Have to buy lo, else why i m in Bangkok man!! heee.
The place closed at 6pm. Then we took MRT and transit to Skytrain go back to our hotel. Is Massage time. We took 1 hour whole body massage at the massage shop next to our hotel. Hmmm.. but the massage just so so only. Is not what i expected. But anyhow, is still satisfied bcoz i've got massage finally. After massage went back to hotel and bath.
Then, proceed to our night session. Visit Patpong area. The "tuk tuk" driver took us to the place where can see tiger show. He took us to 2 places and let us choose. We just paid n went in the 2nd shop. Oh man, i can't believe what is going on inside. Is the performance i never ever see in my life and this will be the first and last time. Wanna know what is it like?? When you have a chance to Bangkok, go watch it yourself.
After the show, we walked to the Patpong market. There is very happening. Night market, pubs all are at that area. And the market open till late night. Took cab back to hotel.
