Trip 2

Day 2.

Woke up at 7 plus, eager to eat the breakfast buffet. Though the breakfast didn't have a lot of variety, but i must say that the food is simply great. The pork porridge is superb.. nice nice. Ate a bit of stuff and went back to get ready to go out.

First stop for all of us was Chatuchak.

It's simply insane.

TOO MANY THINGS TO BUY, SUPER CHEAP AND SUPER BIG.

We spent like the whole afternoon there but couldn't finish walking. Got to rest for a fair bit cos my legs were aching fo much i couldn't walk anymore. The things are really cheap and there are so so so so many shops around. Crazy.

Oh yeah, took a sit by the road side while resting and tried this ice thingy. It's ice shavings which was so fine and so sweet. Topped with roasted peanuts and peanut sauce. At the bottom, there was coconut bits too. Heavenly...

The cats and dogs at the pets section were so super cute. but kinda poor thing is that they are all feeling so hot and i bet many of them are suffering from heat stroke and dehydration. Pity them, those little ones.

Went back to the hotel to rest a bit and swim a little.

At night, we went to have a GOOD dinner at Suan Lam night market.

Seriously, there's nothing much to buy there and the things are much more expensive than Chatuchak. It's like 3x the price for a same top i got in Chatuchak lor.

But the food is great. I had pineapple rice, then we ordered tom yam soup, vege and green curry as well as grilled squid. This lady, i bet she's from singapore, gave us a free dish which is the nicest of all.

Pork knuckles fried to such perfection that the meat is not like meat, but is actually crispy and crunchy. Wao.. so nice of her to give that to us. She said that the person took the wrong orders and she wouldn't be able to finish it by herself, so decided to give it to us instead.

After that, more shopping, but i bought mostly food for my family la..

Air dried vaccuum packed durian which is super nice, crunchy rice crackers with pork floss and some candy.

Like what i said.. this trip was mainly a foodie trip and not a shopping trip.

Heh.

Bet i've put on a fair bit of weight AGAIN.

haha
