The long awaited BANGKOK POST!
PLEASE BEAR WITH THE HEAVY-DUTY PICTURES!
Be4 leaving for bangkok in the evening..
EEW.. taste is okie la.. the bread.. NAH!! dun like. this is the kind that if u leave overnight.. the bread will not b spongy. But overall.. still good la!
was amazed that 985 can bring us to kallang..which will shorten our travel time to the airport.
next time go to the east.. i got one more choice le!!
we were still quite on the dot when we reach budget terminal! we took a shuttle bus over btw!
still with xmas spirit!
no aircon..
its small and kempt tidily..
GOT AIRCON and a food outlet..
decide to leave the donut for whatever supper or sudden food craving that we may encounter during the trip.
IT's another brance of hanz.
quite nice and relatively cheap.
we were too full to move after we had our dinner!
our dinner
after dinner, we check in for departure..
wow! it's all automatic!
like JB like tt..
scan yr passport and poof!
u are allowed to go!
inside the waiting area!
so we are able to see the runway of the airports.
hurhur..
as usual, we are spotting for fatso(Airbus380)
and we saw a tiger plane nearby and tot it's ours..
gosh..
we waited so long and it began to drizzle!
guess wad..
a tiger plane just arrived and minutes later.. we board that just "arrived" plane.
boi says since the flight is one hour plus..
tiger must make it all worthwhile..
it is realli a cool experience.. walking to the plane!!
I bet u only got this in budget..
in the plane..
well... budget ma.
cant expect much.
i cant compare jetstar and tiger..
but somehow..
i still like jetstar..
but it is so ex! *shrugs*
going to set off lor!!
GOSH! that plane was terrible..
i suffered so much during that one hour flight..
the air pressure in my ear was hurting me..
compared to that hk trip..
i think this is the worst.
even though, the thoughful boi bought me sweets to suck to ease the "anticipated" pain..
i was still very much in pain!!
haiz..
i do not knoe whether is this a newly formed ailment not..
shrugs..
newae.. reached bangkok and it was only like 7 plus pm!
imagine we board the plane at 6plus near 7 in singapore time!
*we were one hour behind bangkok time*
there are many big statues that resembles the one in grand palace.
i forgot the name but i know it had symbolic meaning to the thai!
went to get our taxi!
was enveloped with all the private taxi cabbies who offered an one flat price..
we were so like "er.."
but with lightning pace..
we siam diao them and reached the "proper" metered taxi queue outside the airport
we saw alot of maps while queueing.. took all of it..
and i seriously feel that.. the maps which we bring and prepared are much better off sia!
the driver was rather young.
he is nice and helpful..
but i dun think he knows much english!
-on a side note: it was really warm in bangkok when we were there. However, the later part of the year is considered to be the best travelling period as it only rain once or twice every month. and it is not as hot as the summer in Bangkok which is in the period of may-aug(i think). while the rest of the year is considered rainy season!! ALWAYS RAIN! RAIN = NO FUN! therefore, do plan your holidays wisely!-
i saw it.
and i tell boi..
hohoho..
we were like wow!
it is not scary at all altho it is that fast.
i really felt okay sitting in it!
but u are not going to believe this!!
all taxis in thai are altis(toyota)!
boi's car!
ALTIS LEA!
i paid.. 20 bucks from airport to my hotel.
and every day.. i spent like 2 bucks to go from one place to another!
ALTIS WOR!
not good de!
uncle drive manual.
change gear anyhow change..
cab will go "groung groung"
and at the end..
u leave the cab with a big hole in yr wallet and then yr head feel dizzy..
*shake heads*
before we came.. we had read alot of reviews on Diamond City hotel.
many had said the dark alley that our hotel is situated..
oh well.. we had good and bad reviews..
and we keep it in mind of the dangers that we may face!
its quite a long stretch at first.. but as the days goes..
that road is very short actually..
newae, when we reached.. taxi uncle will come down n help u carry luggage de! ALL of them. the thais are really good ppl!! So different from singapore!
it is a small cosy hotel. the staffs here are really nice!!
this is the check in place.
the waiting area.. various sofa was put here.. i suppose it's for decoration as well as havng a place for ppl to chill..
SERIOUSLY.. the bigger room that he said is the one that we booked de ba! altho this is quite a frustrating thing.. however, everything was done nicely.. and being the very nice ppl.. we stay in tt standard room for one night.. [oh ya! no cable tv! its okie.. we pay budget, so we get budget.] The stuffs provided is already very nice lor!! :)
PLEASE BEAR WITH THE HEAVY-DUTY PICTURES!
Be4 leaving for bangkok in the evening..
we went for voices meeting at suntec!
whee..boi carry his suitcase around town!
quite a sight! hee.. and i must tell u! his suitcase weighs a tons!yup.. so after meeting.
we went to have lunch and we are happy that the ever-so-long-queue of the donut shop at raffles city is so short!!! wanted to taste how good is that ever-son-long-queue donut.. tho i ate before once.. but i decide to try again! Since we are taking a budget, we decide to buy one dozen donuts to ease our stomach while we are on the plane! :)EEW.. taste is okie la.. the bread.. NAH!! dun like. this is the kind that if u leave overnight.. the bread will not b spongy. But overall.. still good la!
so we hop back to my hm to take my luggage..
leave 6 donuts for my family and the other 6 we took it with us!was amazed that 985 can bring us to kallang..which will shorten our travel time to the airport.
next time go to the east.. i got one more choice le!!
we were still quite on the dot when we reach budget terminal! we took a shuttle bus over btw!
still with xmas spirit!
have not went to the budget terminal before..
was told that it was v lok kok!no aircon..
then i was worried that we will go hungry if we did not have any food before boarding the plane and thus the irrational choice of buying the dozen donuts!! ROAR
to our surprise!its small and kempt tidily..
GOT AIRCON and a food outlet..
decide to leave the donut for whatever supper or sudden food craving that we may encounter during the trip.
after check in.. we went for our dinner!
IT's another brance of hanz.
quite nice and relatively cheap.
we were too full to move after we had our dinner!
the set meal is very worth. tho not appealing. but at a price of 7plus bucks we got ourselves a soup, garlic bread, drink, cake n main! worth right!
after dinner, we check in for departure..
wow! it's all automatic!
like JB like tt..
scan yr passport and poof!
u are allowed to go!
we were suppose to queue up to board the plane.
as we were early.. we are standing beside the window..so we are able to see the runway of the airports.
hurhur..
as usual, we are spotting for fatso(Airbus380)
and we saw a tiger plane nearby and tot it's ours..
gosh..
we waited so long and it began to drizzle!

we saw alot of maps while queueing.. took all of it..
and i seriously feel that.. the maps which we bring and prepared are much better off sia!
newae.. when its our turn, we tell the guy at the table our location. To double comfirmed the place. We already print out the hotel's name and address both in English and Thai to show them! The guy at the table will then called on to the next cabbie guy to fetch us to our location. We paid right at the place according to the fee. (yup, altho metered.. but at the airport, they do things differently. If u think that u might as well get the "private" cabbie 'cos no need to queue.. u are in the danger of them bringing u to another place to sign up for some weird stuff.. 'cos the cabbie will get commission. why suffer? =) )
the driver was rather young.
he is nice and helpful..
but i dun think he knows much english!

SERIOUSLY..i saw it.
and i tell boi..
hohoho..

Compared to singapore cabs..
forgot wad brand..not good de!
uncle drive manual.

this is the check in place.
one bad ting happened at the hotel was that we were given a standard room altho we booked a deluxe. the room was okay initially.. but when we decide to have a bath before turning in.. we realise there is no hot water! gosh! its freezing water!! we called and asked to change room. we are supposed to stay there for 5 nights! we cant live in this condition. We got to move into another room.. this time it has hot water.. but the light was not working properly.. we need to stand on a chair and twist the bulb to let it light up. and the farnie hotel staff jokes with us that we can turn it off by twisting it into another direction! oh well.. in addition.. the fridge is not cool enough! :( quite disappointing at first! But the staff promised to bring us to a bigger room tmr when the guests checks out!
SERIOUSLY.. the bigger room that he said is the one that we booked de ba! altho this is quite a frustrating thing.. however, everything was done nicely.. and being the very nice ppl.. we stay in tt standard room for one night.. [oh ya! no cable tv! its okie.. we pay budget, so we get budget.] The stuffs provided is already very nice lor!! :)
