Apologies for the recent tardiness - my lack of blog posts! But I guess "better late than never", right?
Here's the continuation of my Bangkok trip - Days 4 through 6!
Enjoy!
**
DAY 4
Hit the shops at Siam Centre first thing in the morning!
The Magnum cafe.
After flipping through the menu, we were planning on coming back but were unable to due to time constraints (spending too much time in shops..). There'll always be a next time!
Walking advertisements
One of the many shops in Siam Centre..
Settled on Greyhound Cafe for lunch after having been there on a previous trip.
Really love its urban vibe. More importantly, the thai food doesn't stray from being authentic.
The food........
Thai tea granita.
Lychee slushie.
Perfect refresher to battle the humidity with!
Beef noodles
Dessert........
Got my hair done after lunch..
had curls in my hair but you can't see a thing in this picture.. ugh.
Trying on clothes at Milin!
Wanted to get this dress but was an indecent length on me. Wouldn't have felt comfortable wearing this out in public..
muay thai match in the middle of the mall
inspired to take up self-defence classes.. all I need now is a pair of pink boxing gloves ;)
other cafes in the mall..
Mr Jones' Orphanage. Tried our luck several times but it seems that the queue doesn't disappear no matter what time of the day it is.. :(
even the toilets are hip..
every cubicle has a quote plastered on the back of the door.
Isn't this so true? :P
who needs to go to S.E.A aquarium when the food court in Bangkok have one on their tables?
pork ball noodle soup
Day 5
As it was a Saturday, it was a given that we went to the weekend Chatuchak market (JJ market). So we donned our flip flops and shorts, and braved the 10a.m crowd. The blistering heat and narrow alleyways oddly enough, lends the market its charm.
After walking around for a bit, we decided to stop at this tea house for a cooler.
Mint tea + green tea w/ milk
After duking it out with the humidity, we hopped on the BTS (train) and headed to the Urban Retreat spa for a well deserved one and a half hour massage.
Went to MK (the equivalent of Jumbo/Cocoa in Thailand) for a steamboat lunch at Terminal 21.
After lunch, we left for Siam Centre to continue shopping, of course.
Had dinner at this restaurant I can't remember the name of now. If you're interested, it was just directly opposite Greyhound Cafe in Siam Centre. It looked rather empty compared to the line outside Greyhound. The food was not too bad though!
DAY 6
The last day........
Lounged in our hotel room in the morning before heading out for a spot of shopping........again.
one of my favorite modes of transportation in Bangkok - Tuk tuks! (cheap thrill for me)
The hotel had their own tuk tuk service to ferry guests from the hotel to malls so we took full advantage of that!
After bidding the malls goodbye, we headed back to the hotel for some afternoon tea. Thereafter, we left for our 2 hour flight back to Singapore..

That's all for my Bangkok trip!
Hope it served well as an amateur travel guide for those of you who are planning a trip to Bangkok!
