Bangkok trip Part 2 - Day 1 (05-07-2008)

now moving on to day 1 of the trip.. actually there's nothing much on the first day cuz we reached bangkok airport at around 830pm.. then need to do the immigration thing.. so check-out at around 9pm ba.. i think lah, cant remember much also.. haha.. once we were out, omg.. there's alot of people behind the barriers waiting for people coming out.. and i feel like i'm vip.. haha.. like they are welcoming us like that.. haha.. hou lian pi.. haha.. we also booked our Grand Palace tour at the airport.. and we went around asking for directions.. like where to take taxi lah, where is the toilet lah and blah blah blah.. we also went to ask the number for the tourist police.. they had actually a small 'police station' there at the airport.. can see those off-duty police watching tv.. haha.. the number for the tourist police is 1155.. i think no need to press country code or area code.. just call the 4 numbers can le..

anyway, the roads there are better than i have thought.. the highways are so cool.. haha.. you can drive at 100km/hr and you will feel so shiok.. there's alot of advertisements banners along the highway.. every few hundreds km i can see one big one.. the banners are so big and in singapore it is banned.. i think lah, my sis told me de.. and there's no exit to the highway to escape paying the tolls (like our ERP).. you must pay the toll no matter where you go as long as you used the highway.. only after the toll station, then i saw some exit.. wah.. really earning by this way.. if i am not wrong, we paid around 300-400 baht from the airport to our hotel.. quite cheap if you want to change it to SGD.. and the whole journey is so shiok.. maybe becuz it's late already so not many cars and so the driver drove quite fast.. the driver is quite friendly too but just that he don't know much english.. we need to use really simple words to communicate with him.. well, as long as we can understand each other then it is alright.. haha..

their overhead bridge is quite nice too.. they design in such a thai way.. haha.. of cuz.. hmm.. we didnt manage to take a photo of it cuz the taxi driver drove so fast plus it is at night.. but if have a chance to go there, you will know what i mean.. it is like hmm.. a small temple? i don't know how to describe also.. but it is very unique.. not like the bridge we have here.. one look and you know you are in bangkok.. haha..

so after the long journey from the airport.. we finally reached our Twin Towers hotel.. it is quite isolated from the shopping centres.. the surrounding of this hotel is like those shophouses.. very quiet at night.. when we entered the hotel, omg.. it is so grand, so nice.. the staff is nice.. as i have wrote about in the previous post, the room is fantastic.. queen size bed, bathtub and many more.. plus got disney channel.. what else can i ask for? there's bathrobe for us too.. omg.. ok.. i am quite sua ku.. but hey, this is my first time staying in a hotel hor.. of cuz i am excited at everything i saw.. haha..

after settling down, we went down to have some food.. it is a BUFFET at 7-10 SGD!! we were like hungry ghosts.. haha.. we took quite alot i think.. haha.. quite nice also.. drink, food and soup all in that one price.. so cool.. so yup.. the first night there is already so interesting.. haha.. i am really looking forward to the next few days in bangkok.. it will so full of excitment.. as i have said, i watched disney channel till i went to sleep.. haha.. i am still a kid.. haha..

This is my life.3:35 PM
