VM1 made sure we had breakfast! As someone who gets to budget traveling, this was much appreciated! Breakfast will be served daily from 7am to 10am

Relaxing area for everyone to meet and greet new friends.

Soap, shampoo are provided. Hair Dryer is available too!

It cost myr268 per person for 5 nights!

So the accommodation was quite good, environment is really nice!

Actually what we want too experience is the backpacker's life but failed, we bring like a lot of luggage AHHAHAHA 

ADDRESS” 815 Phahonyothin Rd, Khwaeng Samsen Nai, Khet Phaya Thai, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10400, Thailand

BANGKOK WIFI/ 4G SIM card

Having wifi made it incredibly easy to get around Bangkok, so I highly recommend shelling out for a prepaid SIM card if you have an unlocked phone. We each opted for a 7-day SIM card for 299 baht, and all you need is your passport to purchase one. I wanna stay connected on my holiday in Thailand and share vacations photos ! Phewwwww~

BANGKOK TIME

Take note that Malaysia is 1 hour ahead of Bangkok.

THAILAND VISA

Citizens of Malaysia are permitted to stay in Thailand up to 30 days if entering via international airport and up to 15 days if entering through a land border checkpoint from a neighboring country (Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia) under the Visa Exemption Rule.

GETTING AROUND

TRAIN (BTS Skytrain/ MRT)

A cheap way to get around Bangkok is via the BTS. You can purchase tickets from the ticket booth or machines in every stations.

UBER/GRAB

Thankfully uber/grab is now available in Bangkok!!!! 

TUKTUK

Honestly, you can use it for short distance ride !

Okay lets start!!!!

DAY 1

The time we reached Bangkok consider night time. So the first day after touching down in Bangkok, we sit van to our Airbnb. 

Then we went to Ratchada train market had our dinner!I 

We went there at 6pm night.

And, there was one tonyam noodles that we can never be skipped!! Its lobster tonyam noodles 龍蝦麵! I love the taste especially it taste like spicy, sweet n sour damn good!!

We try also the grilled fish known as plapao taste like heavenly too, the fish is seabass and wrapped in aluminium foil and grilled to perfection. It had a thai green chillie sauce that goes well as a dip.

A thin roti canai stuffed with banana, butter and sweet condensed milk!

Tender, juicy and smoky barbecued pork slices on sticks. If I can only have one dish in Thailand, it has got to be Moo Ping. These Thai style pork skewers are beautifully marinated in a sweet-tasting sauce before going onto the grill. So tasty and flavoursome.

Watermelon juice

Best drink to have to combat the sweltering heat in Bangkok.

One of the top Thai desserts to try. I’m so hooked onto mango sticky rice with big, thick chunks of sweet, juicy mango. The sticky rice is neither hard nor soft and is perfectly flavoured with a tasty coconut milk sauce !

Day 2

Woke up early and headed to the Chatuchak weekend market. We taking BTS to there, since it was quite near from our Airbnb . I've never been to a market this big, with this much variety--within the first ten minutes we had already purchased a lot of shirts!! We also ended up with vintage sunglasses, bags, tons of trendy clothing, all purchased at crazy low prices!!!

We also feasted on lots of noodles and rice.

Had our lunch at random store, which was serving good food!

And of course, not missing out the highly rated After You Dessert Cafe!!! 

We waited for about 30 minutes for our desserts.

My mum very cute she keep on mentioning this end up she purchased herself, LOL

Its durian ice cream but it taste really DURIAN I can't take it 

sigh****

Okay vain time, cafe so naiseee must take photos right?!!! hahaha

Then we have our dinner at JJ Green Market.

JJ Green Night Market might just be the coolest place to shop in Bangkok, with its much more chilled-out. 

The difference between the two is Chatuchak has more tourists shopping, JJ Green has more Thai shoppers. JJ Green has better restaurants and food, but the market is much smaller. You'll also notice that JJ Green sells used goods as well and a lot of the market does not have official stalls.

We had dinner and shop over there for awhile. 

As in raining plus too tired so went back earlier by tut tut.

JJ Green Market Opening Hours: Thurs - Sun 17:00 – 02:00 MRT: Chatuchak 

BTS: Mo Chit 

Address: 1 Kamphaeng Phet 3, Chatuchak, Bangkok

Day 3

I was feeling super refreshed, woke up early and started our sightseeing. 

Up to our van to Damnoen Floating Market.

The notion seeing river houses raised on stilts and farmers selling their produce and wares on wooden boats felt so exotic.

Then we heading to the famous and interesting and sometimes exciting Maeklong Railway Market.

A train runs through the Maeklong Railway Market 7 times a day (7 days a week). In the morning, the train passes by the market 4 times. 

The action at Maeklong Railway Market begins just about 4-5 minutes before the train is due to pass by the market. One moment, you might see the locals shopping for their vegetables and the next moment, some vendors will begin packing their boxes of vegetables/meats and just as the siren (signalling the train is coming), the market comes alive with the vendors keeping their low-lying awnings, umbrellas – practically anything that lies over the train tracks. 

Once the train is gone, the vendors push back the stalls and awnings into position and resume its business again as if nothing has happened.

Vain time again xd

On the railway while the train haven't arrive!

Then we had lunch at MK Restaurant!

We decided to go for steamboat. 

The roasted duck is must-order! I have no idea why the duck tasted so tender and well cooked.

After our fulfilling lunch, we decided to went to Tesco to have our snacks shopping! Because we had book the van for whole day so we can buy as much as we can without keep on taking it!!! So smart right!

Koh Kae Peanut Snack

Everyone loves these Koh Kae Peanut Snacks!!!!!

2 In 1 Flavoured Lay’s Chips 

Bento Squid

Its name is seemingly harmless, but do not—I repeat, DO NOT—be fooled. The spice in this dried squid snack will have you gulping copious amounts of water and sniffing continuously as you chew on it!!

Lotus brand snacks chicken legs

This is a snacks that shape as drumstick!!

How cute is this..

Everyone will fall in love with this tasty yummy little drumstick.

There is 2 selection of flavour

~ Spicy

~BBQ

I can’t stop eating!!!!

 From everyone’s favourite tomyum flavours, to instant boat noodles and more, any craving can be satisfied! Make sure to explore all the options!

Amphawa Floating Market 

The Amphawa Floating Market is located about 1.5 – 2 hours away from Bangkok depending on the traffic. Although it is technically open all week, it really comes alive on the weekends when local Thai people from Bangkok flock there for a bit of shopping and fresh seafood.

I visited at night time and was not at all disappointed by my experience. It turned out to be a great trip to escape the city (though not the crowds!). Of course, I wandered along the canal where many shops are set up selling all kinds of things such as Amphawa souvenirs, clothing, food, and sweets. 

And get to try local handmade ice cream!!!! Its taste really special, they have like a lot of weird flavour! As you can see the photo shown below, I choose to have their banana flavour as this always my first choice of ice cream flavour for any brand !! I Must say it taste really sticky and yummy, my dad missed out this so he is quite disappointed! Must try!!! 

Moreover,we have a boat tour to see views and lifestyles along Amphawa Canal.  At night, and we arrange for a boat trip to watch fireflies in cork trees as a fascinating night scene of the day. The feeling of dark night on the river its amazing!!!

Their 7-11 just like taiwan/Japan/korea. Full of choices and nice food too. I'm always loving the thailand version of Yakult Drinks. Ok...everything here was still cheap if compare to others! AHAHAHA Enjoy their hot dog too yum yum~

Day 4

Erm I had a bad fever on the last night, so I can't even walk out and join my family to The Grand palace. So here are just their photos that they share with me! 

Despite the heat and thousands of people, my family also not agree I joining too, it will cause my fever more bad!

The architecture here will blow you away

They said: Before you enter The Grand Palace in Bangkok you need to go through a bag search. Here you will need your ID. If you travel with a group only one person needs the document. 

Remember to dress appropriately – women can wear long trousers, a skirt or a dress (they should be long, or at least down to your knees) and a top that covers their shoulders. Men need to wear long pants. Even if you have long shorts it won’t be enough. Men should also cover their shoulders. Covered shoes are recommended, but not required. If you are not wearing appropriate clothing, don’t worry. You can rent everything in a building just next to the main entrance. Deposit is 200 Baht.

After slept for the whole morning I'm feeling better so I join my family on the noon to

Platinium Fashion mall

Which I had been dying to go to. PLATINIUM was completely insane, and I couldn't believe how many little clothing stalls were crammed into the huge complex, and how many great deals there were. Entire stalls full of dresses for 100 baht ?!? YES PLEASE. I kind of had a bit of a shopping blackout while I was here, so my memory is a little hazy, but I do remember being tempted to buy a lot of small tiny bag XD

End up we have to bought a big luggage, bought too many liao ><

Address: 644/3 Phetchaburi Rd, Khwaeng Thanon Phetchaburi, Khet Ratchathewi, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10400, Thailand

Opened: 9am-8pm

Asiatique 

Finally, we’ve made our way to Asiatique The Riverfront! 

To experience the views from headier heights you can even take a ride on Asiatique Sky — a giant ferris wheel — to take in Bangkok’s impressive vistas.

The market is open daily from 17.00 until midnight.

After that we went for the Jeh O Chula for supper!! 

Very excited ******

If you are wondering, ”What is this?”, this pot from Jeh O Chula (some spell the eatery as “Jae Oh”) is essentially instant noodles in Tom Yum soup.

Isn’t it JUST instant noodles? Right.

Although Jeh O is opened from 5:30pm onwards, this star dish is only available from 11pm and closes at 2:00am or so.

I made my way to 113 Charat Muang Road by grab car!

Th good thing was, waiting diners would be given queue numbers, and the server would call your number with a loud hailer. And there were some seats. 

Got in after a 20 minute wait or so.

This was available in pork ball version (120 baht), seafood (180 baht) or all-in (250 baht). And portion is good for sharing between 2 to 3 hungry souls.

Took a sip and LOVED IT!

Crispy fried pork

Too spicy I can take it so I bought my favourite banana ice cream, this stall is just outside jeh o chula!

Day 5

Free and easy walking around at siam paragon and siam square area!

Then I have my lunch at SIAM PARAGON 

All the braised pig rices I had tried in Bangkok so far were the best I ever had, very meaty and tasty. Served with preserved vegetables and egg on the side. Very satisfying meal.

So free n easy means - Cafe Hoping Day!

Our first attempt cafe —

Pinkplanter cafe ( 3rd floor of matchbox)

Matchbox, a multi-label fashion store where you can find cool items with reasonable price.

This is a perfect stop to take a rest when you’re too tired shopping around Siam Square.

Plus, there is a super adorable pinky cafe on the third floor called Pinkplanter Cafe. 

Here, they serve cute snacks like Taco Icecream and Teddy Milkshake, and there are many spots for you to enjoy taking picture, too!

So pinkish so nice!!!

Dont forget to mentioned their cute macaron ice cream comes with different cartoon characters!! Its taste quite good also!

Matchbox Pinkplanter, Siam Square Soi 7, Bangkok, Thailand

Opening hours: daily noon-9pm

Nearest train BTS Siam

Hello kitty cafe

Say HELLO to the KITTY!!

Big alert, if you're a hello kitty fans. *Hands up*

Well, all the interior was so lovely and pinkish, I felt that I have fallen into something like a wonderland. All the chairs are so adorable that designed with kitty bow and kitty logo. 

Everything was so dreamy.

Stylenanda Pink hotel

The Korean wave is taking over Thailand!

If you love Korean fashion then you would be familiar with Stylenanda, that clothing brand that birthed the super popular 3CE makeup brand. You know which one I’m talking about, girls!

Step inside this hotel and you’ll be greeted by an array of 3ce Makeup products!

Tired of shopping? Have a sit and lounge at Pink Pool Cafe! Its a very girly yet fashion forward cafe with refreshing interior design!

STARBUCKS 

Now is season of dog, so Starbucks also having limited edition dog series tumbler and bears! Yes I was helping friend bought some.

Then we went to Ratchada train market again!

We’ve all missing the grilled fish!! Taste so good!!

The meat was so tender juicy!

Then we went earlier back to pack our luggage because the next day will be early flight!
