Bangkok Day 1

Bangkok Day 1
This little cat of mine sure wants the most out of my volunteerism (put so many photos!) Anyway here goes... day one of the Bangkok trip started on a bad note. We were conned by the taxi driver that drove us from the airport to the hotel! Dammit. Paid an extra 300-400 baht than it was supposed to be... They are a clever bunch of pple coz at the airport taxi booth, they will issue a piece of note that tells you on where you can report against such drivers. But as I was reading it halfway, the driver actually took the piece of paper away from me. Initially I thought I was supposed to give it to me. But then afterwards it occured to me that he's actually taking his first step to cheating us...


The interior of the cab... wonder if that's the license plate no....


The new silq hotel... which didn't have a room ready even though we reached at around 2pm plus... and when we asked for some complimentary bottled water, they actually tried to charge us! What the... in the end, we just forgo the water and went of pissed... especially the cat...


Asok station... the nearst station which is about 200m away from our hotel...


As we headed to platinum mall... we came across a river... and this is what the cat call it as.... waterfront living...

Lunch at platinum mall... we tried the dishes that were recommended by other travellers... must say that the oyster egg is nice... rather special as compared to what we have...

the food court...

streets of bangkok...

After much shopping... it's dinner at FUJI! Loved it for the fact that it's so cheap that we can actually order whatever we felt like having without having to worry about the bill!

That's dinner... and a solid one... but too bad we couldn't get to eat for one more time during our trip... sob.

And now finally we have our room... which is rather nice, clean and spacious! Good value for money! And I think because the cat was so pissed previously, the receptionist was extra nice to us when we checked in... hur hur...
The toilet...

Shower area... with good water pressure...

When the cat ask me to unpack... i unpacked... and here it is! Erm... though not to the meow meow's liking... hur hur...
