Our day started as early as 5.30 am on Friday as we’d to catch our flight at 7.50am from LCCT. We reached LCCT at 7.00am and quickly checked in. The flight took off at 8.00 am and landed safely in BKK at 9.40 am (Thailand time) @ 10.40 (MY time). We quickly hired a public taxi to Samran Place for 400Bht and checked into the hotel room.
**** Samran Place****




Samran Place is a budget hotel (2**) but i can say that the room and bathroom was soooo clean. Muslim food restaurant & mosque are just across the road. Massage shop is just at the side of the hotel. 8 minutes walks to BTS (Ratchadek I guess so – next to Asia Hotel). I will definitely be back to Samran Place …..
**** Pratunam – Market & Mall ****

We started our shopping engine along Pratunam Market. We went straight to the pyjama shop (my 3rd time here to buy pyjamas for my sons). We’re so excited… the same pyjama can be bought at Subang Parade @ The Curve Flea Market at the minimum price of RM30 /pc. We bought 1 dozen each …stock-up for our sons and nieces… but not much ultraman cartoon…as long as it’s the same material, we didn’t have to bother much…

Sample of the pyjamas …
And the Legano Spa Salt ( been using this spa salt for years.. it’s 39Baht = RM3.90 in BKK)
***** Pratunam – Lunch @ Maedah the Lebanese Restaurant ****
Mmmmm…delicious!!! We’d Lebanese Spicy Beef Fried Rice with Basil Leaves at Maedah Restaurant. Tina, rasa still tak puas makan la… L First sign to repeat sometime soon??? Kekeke
Tina & the tuk2
We went back to hotel to send back all the goods we’d bought @ pratunam…pyjamas, bottles of spa salt, few shirts, and few floral pants (the one i wore in the previous entry).
**** Chinatown – Market ****
We took the green taxi to Chinatown. I bought some souvenirs and accessories (including the lovely pearl bracelet).
***** Menam Chao Praya – Express Boat Cruise ****
After cruising along Chao Phraya River, we took taxi to Suan Lum Night Bazaar. Tina had her dinner there. As for me, I just ate my buns (Hi-Fi with Ikan Bilis from Malaysia J and my snickers bar). There’s no halal food @ Suan Lum. But I had the coconut shake there…
***** Thai Massage & Reflexology ****
Back to hotel @ 11.00pm (Thai Time) and quickly had some shower. It’s time pamper our tired body (leg especially) after a very tiring day (but we enjoyed it, that’s for sure!!) with 1 hr full body Thai Massage and 1 hr Thai Reflexology next to the hotel.
