Trip to BKK!!

Well, supposingly I am going to a Taiwan trip this coming September but somehow, we just cancelled the plan due to personal problem. Anyway, I still keen to go somewhere else for trip as I'm freaking craving for travelling and of course is SHOPPING and EAT NICE FOOD !!

So , I actually went checking out my Facebook and just saw an album of my friend's profile, she just came back from Bangkok and this flash in my mind and I DECIDED to go to BANGKOK to do a CRAZY SHOPPING and FOOD TRIP on next year March or probably after Chinese New Year !!

Then, i went to check out all of the flight tickets and Airasia return tickets from Singapore is only $212 after including those charges for check-in baggage.. Its so cheap !!
After checking out the flight tickets, next of course is to check out for accomodations and those attractions to go.

I personally likes to stay in Boutique Hotel alot as compared to those luxury or normal classic hotel is because that the design of the boutique hotel's room is much more nice and unique compare to the normal hotel where everyone used to stay in when they are going to trip.

The design for normal hotel is so simple and I prefer much more for boutique hotel yet its a budget place to stay in if you really wanted to just go for a CRAZY UNLIMITED shopping trips because I would probably spend most of my money on shoppings only so I don't really spend too much on my accomodations part.
To me, accomodation during trip is not much important lah as long as the place is near to the place where I wanted to go, convinence shops just around the corner, or the environment is clean and safe, then it would be enough for me already. So, this is my very personal opinion for travelling concepts.hehehhe..

First of all I found was Just Beds Bangkok boutique hotel is somewhere around Silom,Bangkok. At first, I decided to stay in this hotel as it's near to Silom, but after I've check out all of the places,attractions, malls and the Bangkok's map, I found out that staying somewhere around in Sukhumvit is much more convinient and easy as the place is so near to the town area where most of the shopping malls is just along the road there.

So after that, I continue find for boutique hotels around Sukhumvit area and here I found Merisses Boutique Hotel. The hotel I can say is FREAKING AWESOME!! And the price for it actually is quite resonable lah, which is a room for one night probably will be $70 only. I just have to pay for $35 as I'm going to share the room with my boyfie which is AA STYLE (American Style) hahaha pay on our own expenses. It's fair to each other so YEAH!! Its cheap and it only cost me $35 a night only.

So here's the info of the Merisses Hotel :

Aha!! Hotel has FOUND so what's next??!
Places to visit and attractions place is the next mission so I have been very hardworking to go for the research.. and there's also a few places I wanted to visit too as I have been there before so I also wanna bring my boyfie, families and my friends to visit too!

Now, I am going to list down the place I have found and planning to go :



1. Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
Business Hours : 07.00am - 11.00am (Weekdays only)
....................................................................................................................................................................

2. Chatuchak Market
One of the biggest market in Bangkok and most of the tourist or citizen would be spending their weekends at there as things selling at there is cheap and you can still bargain for cheaper price. Besides, there are more than 8,000 stalls in the market. Well, you can get to there by taking
sky train (BTS) and alight at Mo Chit Station.
There's also a few tips for you when you are about to visit Chatuchak Market.



  • Wear light and comfortable clothing, e.g. shorts and a t-shirt/tank-top
  • Wear comfortable shoes, e.g. a pair of sneakers or sandals
  • Protect yourself against the sun, by wearing sunglasses, a hat and use sunscreen
  • Bring a backpack for storing your new-found treasures. It is recommended that you wear your backpack on the front rather than on your back
  • Always have bottled drinking water handy
  • Bring enough cash. Most vendors do not accept credit cards, and it can be a long walk to the next ATM
  • Beware of pickpockets and watch your belongings
  • Plan to go in the morning, as it can get very hot and crowded in the afternoon
  • Free maps are available from one of the information kiosks

  • ..................................................................................................................................................................
