CG gals have been talking about going on a trip forever, finally it has taken place!! It was meant to be a hoiday during National Day but got postponed to the September school holidays. The location was later decided to go Bangkok instead, so the guys didn’t want to go with us.. kekeke.. \ud83d\ude00 Oh ya, we created this hashtag “#CGgalsBKK” on Instragram, so I’m using it on Facebook and this blog entry as well. Hee hee…<\/p>\n

There was a lil’ hiccups when buying flight tickets, there was a SQ promo to Bangkok at $200 plus.. but we only managed to grab two tix, so the gals had to split, MsIrony and I on SQ, while the sisters Yan & Yun are taking business class on Scoot! Haha!<\/p>\n

Boarding the plane in the evening allows us to catch sunset on flight! Woohoo…
\n\"Sunset\"<\/p>\n

When was our last trip? It’s since 2006!! Gosh…… unbelievable~~~~ it was my first time travelling overseas to Hong Kong back then… haha..
\n\"IMG_2006\"<\/p>\n

Arriving at Bangkok airport, we met up with the sisters, and took a cab to our hotel in Sukumvit area. Aiyoh.. we really tio tok lor! 700baht for the cab ride, really.. people, if you ever go Bangkok, remember to request cab to go for METER… even at the airport, just wait till you find a cab driver who is willing to go by meter!<\/p>\n

Anyway, see, this Dream Hotel very chio right? The lobby is very spacious and has got many beautiful furniture and sofas…<\/p>\n

Ok, enough of hotel introduction, we are ready for SUPPER TIME!! Yan was reading a blog that introduces best wanton mee in Bangkok… hoho, so there we go to Thong Lo night market. It’s pretty accessible by BTS (their MRT in Bangkok is called BTS).<\/p>\n

\"OLYMPUS<\/p>\n

The night market isn’t huge, we found the stall within minutes!
\n\"OLYMPUS<\/p>\n

This is the wanton mee we are talking about.. indeed SEDAP!!!! The fried wanton, the noodles, and the char siew especially… yummms!!!
\n\"OLYMPUS<\/p>\n

Another menu item caught our attention, Rice noodles with Chicken drumstick and Shitake mushrooms… surprisingly good!! The rice noodles was the best I’ve eaten…
\n\"OLYMPUS<\/p>\n

We didn’t venture out too far, since we are also tired from the flights, we called it a night. Walking back to Dream Hotel from Asok BTS station, we passed by this cute cafe called Holly Coffee. Been wanting to give it a try, but didn’t have the chance during this trip…
\n\"OLYMPUS<\/p>\n

Not pre-arranged, we were dressed in white blouse! Haha.. this is called \u9ed8\u5951!!

Good night to the first day… the shoppaholics are going to do some SERIOUS shopping the next day.<\/p>\n

LINE Camera amazingly<\/s> detected we were in Bangkok, and added frames when editing the pictures, once we are back in Singapore, those frames were gone!<\/p>\n

Day Two<\/p>\n

Rise & Shine! Hotel’s Breakfast Buffet wasn’t too bad, and we made our way out early so as to avoid the afternoon sun! It’s Saturday, we are on our way to the weekend market, Chatuchak! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

After all the shopping that made us felt damn good, we made ourselves feel even better… in BKK Chinatown! A lil hiccup along the way as the cab driver didn’t know the way, drove us around to and fro.. wasted so much time, we only arrived at Chinatown almost 9! Arghhh… shops all closed liao lah… didn’t get to buy bottles of bird nest..
\n\"Chinatown\"<\/p>\n
