Thailand trip Day 4

6th December 2005

Thank God today will be the last dejavu breakfast at Lotus Hotel.Before breakfast i thought of looking at the swimming pool since i didn't have time to visit the pool before.Unfortunately it was closed so i couldn't swim.Instead i just walked around the premises.Its quite nice lah.Beside the pool is this place where you can chill known something as 'Sah Lah Fah Ham'.Well it sounds like 'salah faham' which means 'misuderstood' in Malay.haha.So funny

Anyway after breakfast we went to the pool area as a family before heading back to our rooms to let go and get ready for our departure.Yup letting it all go.Again.

We then went out of the hotel and walked around the area near our hotel.By the way, did i mentioned that there is a lot of 7-eleven shops nearby.Once i saw two stores across the street,facing each other.What the?I don't see any purpose.Anyway my sister came across a signboard to all drivers.Unfortunately it was poorly said.Meaning that the English was poor.Why not take a look.

Gosh that is so funny.
Fault 1:the sign is for cars only, not all vehicles
Fault 2:be afraid,or else you'll be finded...muhahaha...
Fault 3:"disobey must..."?
Fault 4:Pedestrains?Choo choo...

We checked out about half an hour early and so sat at the hotel lobby to read newspaper and wait for our tour guide.When it was about time, she fetched us and we took a picture together before leaving for the airport.Our flight was about at 12.15 in the noon.Yup.The flight would be from Chiang Mai to Bangkok.Taking the plane is so fun.hehee

The tour guide might look like Ms Annabel Ho at some angle.My hair sucks cuz i didn't style it.

Anyway we then proceeded to ChiangMai International Airport.Each Thai airlines has a name.The one i took to Bangkok from ChiangMai is called Srisoonthorn.By the way before the plane we bought some Lays to eat whenever we feel like muching.Now here's the twist.The word 'Lays' isn't written as it is.It is written as 'Lau'.the 'u' is actually a Thai alphabet.So instead of Lays, its Lau.WALAU! khahaha...Then what happened was the whole packet became very turgid when we were at high altitude in the plane.The Lau is so hard,its like a balloon.Gosh i feel like bursting it.haha...

Thats my sister.As in the thumbs up lah...

We reached Bangkok International Airport and there is no need for our passports to be checked.Well cuz its still within Thailand u see.Our tour guide wasn't there, but we were welcomed by the driver who could speak very little English.First stop, First Hotel for lunch.The road to the hotel was a long one, passing highways and busy roads.It feels like in Singapore where you have the expressways and busy road.The time in Bangkok is one hour later than Singapore.
We finally reached the hotel and waited a few minutes before food is served.We met a Singaporean family in the hotel.My mom chatted with them and found a similarity.We both know my sister's friends's family.Riiiite...
Food is here.It was quite hot but its still nice.Duh hotel food must be nice mah.

We left for our hotel(Ambassador Hotel) which is quite a distant away from First Hotel.We tooked a long time to checked in(I wonder why).Before that i went to the toilet to let go.I shall not elaborate much.But lets just say that the flushing wasn't easy.haha

Dissapointingly the hotel room wasn't fabulous.I expected the standards to be higher than in Chiangmai cuz Bangkok is the capital of Thailand mah.Firstly the design wasn't great, secondly the 'bed skirt' was dirty, thirdly there was no complimentary drink unlike in Chiangmai,fourthly the toilet is small and WORSE it had a bad view of a construction site(dun really blame the management much).haiyo...i mean WaLau..haha
guess what?I can't swim here.The pool is under renovation.Its suppose to end on the 5th of December,but its delayed.haiz...

We spent the whole afternoon in the hotel either relaxing, unpacking and then walking around the hotel area until about 6 where we prayed(its at 7 in Singapore) and left for dinner.It was only when we're going to our dinner restaurant that we met our tour guide and another family from Singapore.My mom chatted with the mum of the other family on our journey to the restaurant.When we reached there, we were invited to this restaurant where it had all the Arabic writings and nice Malay decorations.few minutes later a family of 7 arrived and joined us.So now we have a table with 12 people.All Singaporeans.All Malay.That is unless some of them are Javanese, Boyanese or wtv.Main point we speak Malay.Dinner was nice.Rice, fish, meat,tom yam, vegetables and some other dishes.After dinner we decided to go to the night bazaar.It was this time that we saw some weird coloured taxis.They come in green and yellow, red, purple and HOT PINK.Yup.Different colours represents the different companies just like in Singapore where we have blue, yellow, silver, white but sadly not pink.haha.
