bangkok trip - day 1

with a nervous heart i boarded the plane to bangkok on the 25th of april.. i was nervous and worrry about the surrounding in bangkok.. but i ended up in the plane.. haha.. anyway, now i am back and safe and i have a great time..
i boarded the plane at 1040am(m'sia time).. arrive at bangkok at 1215pm(bangkok time).. then i meet with the tour guide and another 4 guys that will be in the same tour.. well, it was a short tour..

~the view outside the plane.. the cloud look like plants on a farm~

well, arrive safely in bangkok.. then got into a van that brought all of us back to our hotel.. have my first city impression.. great.. well, the city are crowded, not dirty though it is polluted.. high way all over and crowded with cars.. when i just arrive i have seen 2 accident.. they drive recklessly in bangkok.. there have cabs with many colour, pink, green with yellow, purple, red, blue and others.. others are common i think.. but pink.. haha.. catch my eye man.. =)

~my fav pink taxi~

reach hotel.. finish unpacking.. refresh myself then me and ling start our tour in bangkok.. we shop somewhere near our hotel called pratunam.. surrounding with few malls and it is famous for people to shop nearby..

~pratunam~

there have an amazing structure for all the 'penjaja' to sell the stuff.. it's like petaling street.. but it is much bigger.. not to say organise but they are well taken cared i guess.. they have all the food seller carrying the cart walking all over to sell their foods.. and along the way u could notice them and u just stop them to purchase.. they cook on the cart.. it's cute.. haha..

~i didn know what is this but it taste nice with mixture of stuff..~

~this is nice too.. it taste a lil like msia 'lo bak kou'.. but i didn know what it make of~

there are all sort of stuff selling there.. from women's stuff to guy's.. there are swimming suits, clothing for both guy. girl and also kids.. there are formal wear and non-formal wear, pyjamas, there are belts, shoes, watch, bags and others.. just name it then u can find them..

~20XL le.. it shock me when i see it.. they actually selling this shirt man..~

after few hours shopping, (i manage to buy something..) then we back to the hotel, take a half an hour nap.. then wash up and there we go.. again we depart to see 'akua' show.. i seen once in chiang mai.. but since ling haven see before then we headed there lo.. all the sign board and everything are in thai.. all the food menus and everything.. their people are poor in english.. they dun understand what we trying to ask them and others.. it frustated us.. especially if u are alone and if u come to bangkok backpacking..

~signboard in bangkok.. no translation..~

then there we are at the 'akua' show auditorium.. before heading inside we have a delicious dinner.. it tasted very nice.. spicy but nice.. it's roast duck rice but it is a little different from what we have in malaysia.. people in thailand like spicy and sweet foods.. their mee is either sweet or spicy..

~nice roast duck rice..~

the audi that we watching the 'akua' show is called mambo..

~the entrance~

have a total different impression when i step into the audi.. it is so much classy compared to the one i watch in chiang mai.. mayb it is new la.. they provice us with a free drink..

~lovely table with the lamp post~

the show really did amaze me.. well, the 'akua' in the show.. man, u couldn believe they were actually guy la.. they are so so pretty.. and tall.. of course there are several that really look like man la.. but the main performers they are all beautiful.. i like it a lot.. it is much worth to watch compared to the one i watch in chiang mai as the 'akua' here are really more beautiful and it is hard for u to tell that they are actually guy.. u can tell once they talk of course.. i would recommend u guys to watch this when u guys go there..

~the opening~

~the thai dance~

~devil dance~

~the so called pussycat dolls..~

amazing.. after the 'akua' show.. we went to the 2nd show that everyone must watch when go to bangkok.. the "TIGER SHOW".. no one will ever imagine that i will step my feet into the show man.. it is much worse than i imagine.. i thought they were going to braless.. i didn know that they will be bottomless too.. gosh.. this is my 1st and it will be my last too.. i feel uncomfortable throughout the show.. man sitting beside me with prostitute surrounding him, rubbing him and god know where.. things or i should say action they do in the show are wow.. unbelievable.. i feel embarass saying so if wanna know ask me in person la.. there are seriously a lot horny and pervert guy inside.. show are continuous from morning till midnight.. once u paid then u can stay for as long as u wan but things are repetitative la.. the real show is one hour only.. but according to our tour guide.. there are people that stay inside for hours..

that's it.. the tiger show really did open my eye.. i nvr expect there are such show though.. and the tour guide told me there are more.. in pattaya.. i doubt if i will go.. haha..

after the 2 shows, we back to our hotel lo.. finding it a lil hungry, we visited some stalls near our hotel and buy ourself some supper.. we stop by at 7-11 to buy a maggi cup too.. cause it's special.. it had the pork flavor.. haha.. we enjoy as the food is cheap and it is nice too..

~pork instanst cup noodle~

~something like roti canai but it tasted diff as it had banana and egg and also creamer~

~this should be the local dish for the poor.. beef noodle~
