Finally got back to the hotel, it'll be the last night of staying in Howard Square Hotel @Bangkok. Because we're going to PATTAYA tomorrow morning. So excited....

Bought a lot of T-shirts for mom, dad, Mickae's mom, sister,blah blah...








Not lucky enough, we ran into the unexpected storm at Pier.
No umbrella, windy, raining heavily, really didn't wanna take a risk during that time.

So let's get something drink. WAITING, WAITING,WAITING....

After landed, we had been waiting for the taxi over ONE HOUR on the street, NOPE, i'm not crazy but the Bangkok TERRIBLE TRAFFIC JAM(the worest in the world), especially on the raining days. It really pissed me off:O

The Grand Palace is as huge as its name, we spent a couple of hours there, so tired:(

Still wanna laugh at that large green pant which we borrowed, hahha, can't help it...

Sawadeeka in Thai means Hello:)

How amazing the place is!

Body guard??? By the way, no short pant allowed to enter, but all tourists could borrow skirt/pant in the office for free.
However, not too many options of pant, only this loosen, green one for men, hate to say it, it looks silly.
Girls are lucky, as there're a couple of colors of skirts, they gave me a green which kind of matched with my clothes:O

What a trap! Here's the story: at the beggining, i didn't study the map, just followed my feeling to the entrance of Grand Palace, well, the result was we almost fell into the TRAP. We walked for over 5 minutes along the wall(the wall of Grand Palace), as a newcomer, i absolutely didn't know it.

Finally we saw a side door with a soldier&Indian man, we tried to enter and were stopped by the Indian man which we were told that it was closed and only for Thai people for visiting G.P today. We were so disappointed, however the Indian man suggested us to wear in long sleeve and pant to visit G.P, we were so appreciate about his tips. He also showed us on the map about other temples and malls which were not that famous for tourists. He taught us how to negociated with the TukTuk driver, suddently he called one and tried to send us to the TukTuk. Gosh, i just realized that was such a trap. As i read some forum of Thailand trip about those traps, my memory was just freshed. I told him that we had our own plans, afterwards walked away with Mickael. That Indian's face told me that he was so down cause my wisdom, hahaha....

I was so wondering how i were so dumb for previous 3 minutes, maybe the hot weather, maybe that Indian's "KINDNESS", WHATEVER. Thanks God. We found way out and finally got to the main entrance door:-)

PS: Most of Thail people are still very friendly and kind.

Here it is, the main entrance.

Look at those trees' style, so match with Thai Architecture.

We missed visiting the Temple of Dawn:(

Here we are, heading to the Grand Palace...

Hahaha, the sunshine was extremely strong around 2pm, Mickael even couldn't open his big eyes, lol


The mosquitos had a crash on my legs, ahhh, so mad!

Seafood, fried rice, again:0

Maybe those taxies are most beautiful ones in the world, so colorful.

So this is China Town, Mickael told me that i was hometown, nahhh, not really, at least i didn't hear anyone speaking Chinese on streets, maybe in the malls.




Oh, no, the ice were crashed on the
street, my "fresh" orange juice???

Day 3 Grand Palace(Chao Phraya River Tour)

We took the River Tour which means we could take the boat to each stop for sightseeing, we visited Memorial Bridge, China Town, Grand Palace.

Dinner time!!!

Different beer.

We took TukTuk back to the hotel, TukTuk is legally running in Thailand which makes too much air/noise pollution.

In fear...

The infamous traffic jam is well known in Bangkok, so true.






The BTS(Sky Train)
Extremyly cool inside of the train, sometimes too cold to get goose bumps^^

Mickeal swore to try all different brands beef in Thailand:) He did it.

A bar in the weekend market, unexpected.

Ordered orange juice without thinking which i ordered the most everyday in Thailand.









One minute later, i realized i was served by one gay waiter, no, not only one but all.
WELCOME TO THAILAND!!!

Really no idea how did i survive from such hot weather?!

Chatuchat(Forget to spell it correctly) weekend market is so huge, one day shouldn't be enough if you wanna visit all.
You can mostly find everything you need, such as clothes, shoes, decors, etc. Plus the price is soooooooo low.

So hungry after walking around, actually there're no decent restaurants in this market but locals. Well, when you're in Roma, do as Rome.

One Japanese guy took this photo for us, thank you if you read our blog:)

What a huge wat Pho, its body is around 50meters long.

That's out local guider who can speak English with Thai accent. what would i expect?

Voila, i got u, lol

(Entrance of Wat Pho)

Chinese soldiers on both sides of the door? Yes, we were confirmed by the guider.

It was Sunnday, since the Grand Palace is closed on the weekends, we joined a tour to visit some other temples which included a van with Air-con and a local guide who can speaks okay English.
The first stop was Golden Buddha, our journey just got started in Thailand.
People must take off the shoes once stepping into the temples for respecting the Buddha. I couldn't remember how many times we took off and wore our shoes in the first few days, gosh!

Day2@Bangkok

The view outside of our hotel

The last dish was the shrimp salad, wasn't so into their salad which mixed with shrimps, onions, apple, corns,etc. We still finished some through we were stuck already.

Deep fried prawns, yes, it was filled with fresh prawns inside. In fact, it's kinda impossible to get same quantity of the prawns in Shanghai, cost saving on their mind i guess.

Beef with mixed veggies

Typical Thai fried rice, yumyum, after 4 hours' flight...

Thailand Holiday--Day1@Bangkok

View of one part of Bangkok in the plane before landing, thought that was the Chao River, silly me!
