Bangkok revisited 23.06.10 – 27.06.10 (Part 3)

the last 2 days are spent on only one mission :

shopping

so, there is nothing much to write here as it is pretty much the same as the shopping part of our Bangkok trip last year.

the only thing worth mentioning is of course this tower :

Picture 217  the Baiyoke Tower. the tallest tower in Bangkok.

 

never got the chance to visit it last year but we took the opportunity to visit its observation deck this year since we are in pratunam area anyway (dun forget to go to Platinum wholesale Mall),

 

Picture 268 The ticket to the observation deck is 200Bht. there is also another price of 250Bht which is inclusive of drinks, but we just give it a pass.

 

from then on, proceed to 77th floor. and then it is photos time! .

it’s hard to take photos on that floor due to the reflections on the glass especially when taking it at night.

so, dun spend so much time on 77th floor. to get better view, go to the revolving deck on 84th floor.

but then again, taking photos on the revolving deck isn’t any better either. the strong wind and…

P6250128 this lights on top makes our face so ‘colourful’!

taking photos here at night is a pain in the ass. but then again, we did not use any fancy DSLR. just some normal ‘point and shoot’ cameras.

next day was spent on shopping again. since there is some free time on the last night, we decided to go to Patpong.

i guess those old folks who used to frequent bangkok will definitely know this place. haha!

but yeah, patpong is not the plae or us and you wll get harassed more there too. and worse, there nothing much to eat there. boring…

unless of course, you planned to ‘eat’ other stuff. haha!

and along soi patpong, this particluar shop was partially hidden…

Picture 294  what’s so special about Naraya anyway? looks normal to GF.

 

starved and seeing that the night is still young, we decided to go for a fast food joint in Siam Paragon

Picture 299 BK is cheaper than McD.

 

and go for a movie!!!

Picture 301 don’t really know how the ticketing counter over works, we just go to the counter, look for the movie and time, confirmed that the movie is in english, and then pay.

 

160Bht for a movie seems a bit pricey. mind you, they have different price for different seats. price can be as much as 400Bht if i remembered it correctly. we think that there is another class of cinema halls as there were a few different price list.

but!!! the price is worth it as even though we are like 10th row from the screen, it does not feel uncomfortable at all. with a slight reclining seat and big space for yourself, i’m not complaining.

Picture 309 waiting loungePicture 303  any movies in mind? Picture 304  i think this is the hall with cheaper movie ticketPicture 306 when you see the word ‘GRAND’ in a movie hall, you know that the price will not be ‘CHEAP’ haha!Picture 307 GF put in an extra shirt that i bought for myself in patpong earlier as it might be cold in there. yeah, original sports apparels are cheaper there as it is made in that country. guys can consider getting your jerseys in Bangkok

Psst… the price tag is still in the shirt at that time. haha!

 Picture 325  the last supper. in our bangkok of course.Picture 328 and how can i forget the condoms from Cabbages & Condoms? it is still with me though. oh wait, it is expiring soon!

 

time flies when you re having fun and it’s time to fly home. i can’t believe that it took me almost a month to post this. haha!
