Chatuchak @ Bangkok

Whenever we talk bout going Bangkok, I'm sure Chatuchak it's a hot topic by saying lotsa cool and cheap stuff and for those who have not been there must be thinking it's like a night market in Malaysia coz some say it's only opens on weekend!

Let's go thru my tour here and you will find out more bout Chatuchak ;)

You can travel by cab/BTS/MRT to Chatuchak and I had took a MRT to reach there and you needs to buy your ticket to Kamphaeng Phet and once you reach the station there's a sign showing the way exit to Chatuchak.

Once you exit to Chatuchak exit you will come across the refreshing coconut ice-cream! it's truly fully must try and it's only 25thbt

And let's the journey of Chatuchak begins by getting a map

See what I meant earlier? By rumours you tot it's a night market but in fact it's all shop lots. All tiny shop lots where once you get into each lane you will starts to feel lost. Each lane sell different items, there's houseware, decor, fashion clothings, accessories, etc.

Check out this crowded lane, where this store is selling most of teenage designer item whih pretty cool and don't ask me if I know how to go back to this lane. Look at the map again and you'll know how many zillions shop is in this area >.<

Onisuka Tiger for 550thbt! hahaha and quality really bad compare to original, so think twice, you wan ori or imitate item hahaha for your own foot comfort =P but from far it's really looks damn real.

Ok.. Ok.. I'm starving!! and here goes my food explore.. amazing barbecue just next to the coconut ice-cream stall which I think I'd done walking one round of Chatuchak and back to the square haha.. Check out the chap who doing the barbecue, he 's with his headphone on! ahha

10thbt for one stick of barbecue beef ball, it's tender and spicy...

Was craving for rice and I'm looking for a typical local food where what normally the local eats and finally after searching real hard for it, I found one stall which normally can only be found in the inner part of lane from the row of shops. Typical food of Thailand is like our nasi campur by the road side

And our table is super mini! due to the convenience of this hawker to keep her stuff in a compact way

I love my rice with the curry chicken and unexpected white gravy chicken which is the tomyum! omg i miss it so so much, with the hot bowl of rice.. drooool.....

I don't know should I say Izan is bad luck or he is not good in choosing his dish coz he said his fish taste suck! hahaha... and he got the curry chicken too, so consider still lucky hahaha... but it's not as good as the flat white gravy tomyum I pick hehe...

 The final shot I took in Chatuchak is this pork stall, the pictorial of their porkie attracts me haha... so cuuuuute!

Summary of my Chatuchak experience, I don't really like it, maybe there's too much to see and you might get lost and you will feel like missingand got no idea what to eye on coz too much to see! hahaha

Street Food from AM to PM @ Pratunam, Bangkok

You can easily find breakfast on certain streets for breakfast and they starts their breakfast business around 5am! that's early isn't?!

 I'm having my earliest breakfast at 6.30am on my 2nd day trip and there's this beverage stall attracts me due to they serves fresh milk and also add fresh milk on other beverage you want, so I get myself a cup of hot Ovaltine and also mini "Yao Char Koay"

Besides this you can can find authentic Thai fish cake and this cost 20thbt for quite a number of pieces

 

Early in the morning they started to sell economy rice as well and I love their economy rice especially those looks colorless coz those is the best! those if you see white color meat with white soup it's actually tomyum and it taste heavenly awesome. Average one rice pack 300thbt

There's also pork porridge selling as breakfast too and it was so sweet, they cook with the pork and some bones in it. This porridge cost 350thbt and we got some cordiments which cost 150thbt each and it doesn't taste good coz it's from other stalls hahaha one is sweet and another is "lap cheong" taste

Carry on in the afternoon you can find more stalls selling kuih

and more kuih like dumpling and this taste like our local "sa kok" but for the rectangular shape piece it's rice roll with taugeh... this is around 20thbt

You can see some hawker selling fried pancake while you are shopping along the alley and they just push this trolley with a big wok with boiling oil towards you and keep shouting "kuih kuih"?! dare not to try this green kuih coz looks ugly just like The HULK hahaha

Another hawker is selling her food along the alley as well by cooking white carrot cake and they just do it on a tiny trolley! how amazing is this

Locally tastefully appetizer of Thai salad just underneath the bridge link to Platinum mall

Cheap and crispy finger food which is the chicken wings 3 pcs just 150thbt!!!!!

360 degree Bangkok Night View @ Baiyoke Sky Tower

I stayed at Baiyoke Boutique Hotel and before this trip was planning to go Sky Bar at State Tower and due to laziness and tired and so happen Baiyoke Tower Hotel which is just opposite has a 360 view of Bangkok too and we got a 10% discount if we are going up for sight seeing and it was 225thbt include a drink.

You needs to go up to level 77 before go up to the look out point and while you're in level 77, you can have a lot of photo opportunity at their existing props.

There's this typical Thai ghost?! haha

and I went back to the golden days working hard in my small tailor shop

and with the pak cik next door selling grocery hahahaha...

in a small town, our shop is sharing, tailor and grocery

normally we travel by a tuk tuk and act like a mat rempit on streets! hahaha...

and reach the destination of level 83 where either to left is look out point locate at level 84 or to right level 83 for the bar at roof top

and upon you reach level 84 you will begin your journey for the 360 turn-table Bangkok view

love the highway structure

Once done with the 360 spin estimated 10minutes, we went down back to level 83 to redeem a free drink and also to enjoy the night light

ordered a Bailey's milk for myself and Izan got a whichky on rock! and popcorn is on house hehe..

We just spend bout 20 mins here as it was pretty boring like a uncle pub feeling
