Day of 1 Bangkok trip

The start of  our Bangkok trip. Woohoo. Eat & shop, shop & eat. Gonna be a fun getaway. 

We have to wake up super early as we will be taking the 7.15 am flight to BKK. We were kiasu as usual. Left home at around 3.30 am.and took a cab to Airport. Reached airport around 4am. Checked in and had bf at Coffee and Toast.

Watched Paddington.

Touched down at around 0840hrs. Clearing of custom was quite fast. Took the Bangkok Airport Rail to Ratchaprapop which is around 1km away from the hotel that we will be staying. Seriously it's no joke pulling the bulky luggage along the crowded and uneven street. But to save money, Airport rail is the best option.

We will be staying at Centrepoint Pratunam. Though it's not really very accessible as compared to Novotel Platinum Mall but they have family room which most hotels do not have. Anyway it's not really that far, just two street away from the famous wanton mee and is beside Glow Hotel. We paid $1050 for 5 nights stay and breakfast is included.

Brunch at the famous SabX2 Wanton Mee at Soi 19. We have been eating here since early 2000 when they are not really that famous. Was quite disappointed with it. Serving was super small. I can finish it with 2 to 3 spoon full. It also lacked the tastiness that it used to have.

The receptionist was quite accommodating as she allowed us to check in at 1100 am instead of the normal check in timing.

View of our hotel room.

Can see that the room is a bit old but it's still well maintained. This is the most important when we rate a hotel room. The bed sheet must be clean and the floor must not have a sticky feel and funny smell.   I would definitely recommend friends to this hotel as generally the staff here are very helpful and nice plus the hotel is very clean too! Most importantly, it is quite affordable and just a walking distance to Platinum Mall.

The start of our shopping adventure. We only shopped at Platinum Mall today as we wanted to check out the price before going other place to shop as the price at Platinum Mall is quite reasonable as compared to elsewhere.

Queuing for A&W root beer float.

Shopping at Platinum Mall. How much is this? How about wholesale?

Tea break at Platinum Mall Food Court. Love their kway chap.

Returned back to hotel early as Kennie was having a very bad headache. Dinner was Fillet O Fish from Mac. Look at our miserable looking face. No nice thai food. Only Fillet O Fish in the hotel room.
