SHOP, EAT AND LIVE LIKE KING AND QUEEN
We got up early (as compared to Singapore standards) and had our first meal in Bangkok. Breakfast was simple. We got to choose 1 breakfast out of 6 and both of us had American breakfast which includes eggs, sausages, ham, toast, tea/coffee and juice.
I am not a breakfast person so the portion was pretty much more than enough for me.
After breakfast we set off for the four-faced buddha where I was trying to help Fang buy the stuff for her father and to get a money changer to exchange our other half of money cos a few sources told us the rates are better over at Bangkok, which wasn't true from what I saw. So anyway we managed to change for baht at Gaysorn Plaza. This Gaysorn Plaza turned out to be our private joke throughout the trip because the way the reception pronounced it was pretty funny and we kept trying to imitate that nasal accent.

BAGS!
SHOESSSS!
The 'which one nicer' effects.
So we took a 5mins walk down the streets and had lunch at A&W!! Excited like mad.
The boy behind the camera made me stand outside till he is done with taking his shots, hence the face . But it turned out to be a nice one. :)))
My fav! Mac's twister fries tasted so blah after I came home.
Don't jeals, cheers! :)
Nothing beats a 9SGD full body massage after an afternoon of walking.

We took the BTS to Patpong. The safest and most efficient transport around. You don't have to hold your breath everytime your cabbie changes lane or notice that his signal lights are all lit up, speedometer not working and has to break with the help of his handbrake. The BTS wouldn't bring you on detours deliberately and you wouldn't need to bargain with drivers who refused to go by the meter.
Us on the BTS. The couplish outfit wasn't intentional.
To me, Patpong isn't a red light district. Ok, yes it is, but its more like a ka tourist place to me and I hate places filled with tourists. A check with the prices tells me that things are about 2-3 times more expensive. And taxis picking up passengers there refused to go by meter, ALL of them. And they quote prices which can probably bring you around Bangkok city 10 times. Super irritating, but paying the cabbie a flat rate also meant that one look at the map, he would bring us to the right place without making detours.
We walked around abit, with people showing you a piece of cardboard which reads "VCD, DVD Sex" and people asking you to watch pussy do funny stunts. Damn irritating, every few steps someone comes up to you and invite you to watch the female's part do stunts. After a while we got clever and learnt to reject them by lying that we watched already. By the way their porno collection is quite updated cos I saw Edison's face on some of the CD covers. lol
We chilled at a beer garden with Chang and Heineken and people watched, and just letting time whooze pass. Drinking together rarely occur in Singapore being the car whores and law abiding citizens we are, so the drinking part is in itself a being on holiday thing.
There wasn't anything much to do there so we left pretty early and had an early night since I planned to call Yenfang the next morning before her departure (which sadly, I didn't).
