Thailand Trip 2005

Ok got some time now so shall update on my Thailand trip abt 2 months back lol... Been too lazy (or busy) to update in xanga so yeah... its been 2 months so there are SOME details i can't remember too well...

Went Bangkok with Cassie no she's not my girlfriend... prob die young if she were lol. We're buddies ya, the CLEAN kind?! C'mon, we hardly have any physical contact when we go out even!

Anyway well, on HER suggestion we decided to go Bangkok (my FIRST ever trip abroad by myself!). She booked the tix, and guess what... somehow she booked the wrong slot, resulting in us flying to Bangkok on SUNDAY NIGHT. Duh...

I got us a SUITE in Baiyoke Sky, supposedly the tallest hotel in Thailand. Yes we stayed in the same room... same bed... C'mon lar, i pay and you want me to sleep on the couch? >.< But chill yea? No hanky panky, everyday was dead tired, bathe, plop down in bed, Zzz... ^^

Ok back to the trip.

Day 1

Arrived in Thailand, me blur cock, kenna TOK by cab... Some lady waiting at the Arrival Hall, ask us where we wanna go, say can get cab for us... 600 baht... we later realised could have hailed our own cab for like 1/3 the amount?

We were naturally wowed over by the suite, damn blood big, although we did mess it up over the days we stayed there. Cassie lar, bought a TON of things >.<

Since we reached there in the NIGHT, we couldn't really do much, went downstairs and tried their roadside stalls. Their noodle was YUMMY! Only like 40 Baht for a plate, which has a HUGE cut up sasauge and veggies included. Had some bread thingy with a HUGE cup of kaya for you to dip in... I tried soaking up the whole cup naturally lol... Interesting thing was they provided free drinking water and paper roll for you to clean up / wipe sweat!!! Roadside stall!!! Kaoz... most restaurants in Singapore won't even give you that without charging you extra for it!

Zzz

Day 2

Woke up early, zipped down err... up to their restaurant on the top floor where we were given free breakfast. The view was damn nice... but yea being the idiot that i am, first time go overseas alone, totally forgot to take pics haha... The food was OK i guess, but we got sick of it when we realised that its International Buffet EVERYDAY -.-"

Next we planned our attack for the duration of our stay there. Decided to hit the flea markets as we made our way towards the "Orchard Road" of Bangkok.

We started off at the shopping mall just beneath our hotel. I was totally taken in by this cool army camouflage top from some popular US brand (forgot the damn name haha...), but they had to run out of my size boo... Cassie said i was crazy, being in the army and all, yet still ga-ga over army shit lol... Come to think of it... yea...

Further down Cassie went totally Bikini crazy. I think i've bought enough bikinis for her over the years to open a shop... (We took a quite a few pics of her in bikini, but my laptop crashed last month and its all gone boo... but she has them in the CD i burnt for her... maybe if she lends it to me i'll put em up haha...)



I was abit potty then and bought this ultra cool spring loaded pocket knife with a torchlight built in lol... Yea i snuck it past security back into Singapore haha... Was considering the hand-cuffs... but nah... lol...

I was dying of thirst, hunger, and exhaustion so we settled for lunch at a weird roadside stall. You get sit at this table where there's this huge wok of (seemingly freshly plucked from the roadside) veggies in front of you. You pay and get a bowl of noodles, and you just grab whatever veggie you fancy, roll em up, chuck em into your soup noodle and bon appetit >.< I remember Cassie remarking that she doubts many Singaporeans would choose to eat this. Well, we're 2 crazy people anyway so ya... LOL. It wasn't half bad... managed to wash it all down with a packet of coke :)

The first clothing item i bought (finally!) were a matching pair of slippers for us for just 100 baht in a shopping mall. Thats like 2 bucks a pair lol... And that started Cassie on her mad spree... Everywhere we went she was like asking whats the "wholesale price" (meaning discounted price if u buy usually 4 pieces and above). Could see her unrestrained glee whenever they quote 100 baht for each blouse / top / skirt / pants she eyed. Doh... yea... cheap lar, but material... >.< She was like buying 4 of everything and quickly managed to accumulate a mass of shopping bags for ME to carry. All i bought were my SUPERMAN and BATMAN T-shirts hahaha... love em ^^



I had set my sights on some pretty nice Converse shoes but Cassie was skeptical about em being authentic even though they were being sold in the CONVERSE shop... Oh well >.<

We continued shopping in that stretch of neighbourhood shopping mall types till late evening where we finally decided to make our way down to the "Orchard" area. Oh! I remember commenting that afternoon we were clothes siao, but come evening we were suddenly accessories siao, cos we started snatching accessories off the roadside stalls and bargaining like mad. I bought a nice crystal thingy with a 3-D Tut-Tut cab within. Cassie bought some sea view thing and a pair of nice light thingys from that first road side uncle we passed by. Grrr... i gotta take more pics the next time -.-

Things were alot more expensive in the town area and after our mad 100 baht wholesale price spree, we weren't really enticed by the 400 baht stuff on sale. Cassie went praying at the buddha thingy right out in the middle of the shopping district while i was made to stand guard outside. Funny how she barred me from going in cos i'm a Christian. LOL... Well, standing there i noticed quite alot of middle aged caucasians with young, pretty thai girls going about. Hmmmm...

Day 3

Decided to go to this place recommended by Cassie's Auntie. Bad move. Everything's so darn expensive! We were kinda out of the mad-shopper mood by then, so just decided to see the sights. Oh yea it's called Khaosan... why do i remember? Cos of the pics below... Haha...





Check out the rides we spotted ^^





Well, having nothing to buy, Cassie decided to have her hair done with those fake colored hair tie thingys... (Can't remember the name lol).



And our lunch... fried roll which was really really good and some fried noodle thingy... Oooh this is making me SO hungry lol...



After that i managed to get us a ride on the Tut-tut vehicle thingys to Chinatown, which was boring as hell. We bought some thai porn VCDs (LOL), some Hello Kitty accessories, red pens my mum requested (duh!) and some really nice fried food before heading back. Some pics for that lil' trip.





The day didn't end here! We got back, changed (i wore my SUPERMAN polo-T, not featured here haha...) and headed down to this Patpoing place if i remember correctly. Argh, Cassie kept the maps we used for keepsake so i don't have any with me to refer to. Bleah.

Anyway its the RED Light district haha... From the moment we stepped in, we were hounded by guys trying to get us to go to their pub / disco that supposed feature "free tiger shows". Pussy eating Ping-pong, Pussy lighting cigarette, Pussy... WTH... Eventually we agreed to go with one guy to have a sneak preview. I almost puked. Shall not go into what we saw in there... but please... it will NEVER be my cup of tea >.<

Not one to give up, we went into one pub that had tons of "girls" dancing on the pole filled stage in the middle of the bar. Only when we sat down did we realise they were all transvetites lol... Good thing actually haha... Anyway for some unknown reason they were attacking Cassie left right centre. One UNpretty one even pulled down "her" top and asked Cassie to touch her breast, nipple... Eeek. And of course, had to give tips for that unwanted act doh... Cassie kept looking at me and mouthing "Why me???" Haha... hilarious, i just continued sitting there with a fierce "Do Not Disturb" expression hahaha...

Anyway eventually i spotted a trans that looked almost like a real girl, real pretty too. For some reason "she" noticed me noticing real quick and zipped on over. Now this one focused "her" attention on me. Nah i didn't get to touch anything haha... but "she" kept hugging me from the side and stroking my hand. I did comment that "she" was very pretty and could tell "she" was real pleased with the praise lol. Next thing i knew "she" was saying "Where you stay? Can i go back with you?", then started hiding "her" face behind "her" hands, act shy... OMG!!! Doh... Cassie's eyes were like fishball by then lol... I was like "Uh... cannot, i staying with her" (pointing at Cassie). And the trans was like "Oh your wife?" Doh...

*Kinda regret not bring "her" back though... would have been interesting hahahaha...

Last day

Decided to head down to MBK and have a look before we flew back. Flagged a Tut-Tut down for just 50 baht, but gotta go with him visit 2 jewellery factories (for which he gets coupons for free petrol... so why not? Help the dude out lor...) It was boring as hell, prob cost us around 45 mins zipping to those factories.

Obviously someone was too heavy and caused a flat tire on our way >.<



Bet you won't see these air pumps in S'pore...



I'm pretty sure you won't see this in S'pore hahaha...



Oh and i was SO impressed by what they had lining the expressways... Bloody elephant plants... Man they really do love their elephants heh...



MBK was pretty nice... for some reason i didn't take any pics hmmm... Its a modern shopping centre like Taka for one, and two, you see cute uni girls in UNIFORM running about lol... I spotted a few clothing items i liked, but they were kinda expensive and well we had run out of funds so oh well... damn ^^;

Anyway that trip cost us our return flight... missed it by like 30 mins lol... WTH right? Things ALWAYS get exciting when i'm with Cassie haha... Luckily no extra charges for getting a later flight ^^
