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^^
