20 Feb 08
Last minute shopping and getting ready for home
We were pretty much used to the waking up time and surprisingly, both of us did not suffer any hangover from the night before. Had our usual breakfast set and headed to the next door massage place again. He had his foot massage again (!) while I did a manicure and pedicure for 150 baht each. Dirt cheap but unfortunately, the nail polish was quite cui so it started chipping not long after I came home.

My toes
Their first customer of the day
Went back to check out slightly before 12 and deposited out luggage with them and scooted off for our Siam Square, MBK, Discovery Centre raid. Basically we wanted to shop that area only after we have gone through the cheap goods.
Mr Donut. I was too full to get Dunkin after that
Very silly, I know
Lunch - Thai restaurant at MBK. Familiar hor, Steph and Fang?!
Thai milk tea. Yums!
Hee, the remains of my tom yum soup
Ok, we didn't really take a lot of photos on our last day cos we either lost the excitement or were simply too busy trying to grab last minute goods before its all too late.
Headed back to Samran Place for the last time to get our luggage and tried to get a cab. Sigh... getting a cab to the airport was the worst. They all tell you its peak hour, there's jam blah blah and quote seriously seriously ridiculous prices. We ended up paying the cabbie 400 plus (?), after bargaining with a few cabbies, which I still thought was insane but I didn't want to risk missing my flight or anything. In the end, we were way too early at the airport cos the whole jam bullshit was well, bullshit!
And you know whats the best thing? The massage place lady boss told us she could help us get taxi at 300 baht when I was doing my manicure but I simply ignored her and totally forgot about it. Only recalled that conversation with her when I was reminded by my nails in Singapore. Oh well.. XIA! SOMETHING TO NOTE HERE! If you guys can't get taxi to the airport from Samran Place, go find the massage centre and ask if they can help. She told me its 300 baht. :)
On the 400plus baht cab ride!
Eager to go home, yet can't bear to leave
Our super weird dinner which was a mixture of German, Japanese and Hong Kong cuisines.
Very pleased with myself in maximizing my baggage limit. :))We had sooo much time to kill after checking in cos of the alleged jam so we roamed the new Bangkok airport and I made a very happy purchase at Coach from the untouched baht Dad gave me. I had to do him justice by helping him spend a little, you know.
And finally finally...
Boarding the plane
Do you know how to operate the emergency exit?
Emergency exit seats means a whole lot more leg room!
My duty free buys
Thats about it, folks. Arrived in Singapore close to midnight. Mummy came to fetch us from Budget Terminal arrival hall, sent the boyfriend home and headed home ourselves. :)
