I am back from Bangkok!
Orchids complimentary of Thai Airways
I’m so glad to be back! Our plane to Singapore got delayed by about 2 freaking hours! The ride back was quite bad because it was raining quite heavily and the plane was swaying up down left right and sometimes having sudden drops. OMG.
I miss Singapore’s clean air and transport, I miss my xiao bit bit and bear bear, I miss my brother’s nonsense, I miss my mother’s hand squeezed orange juice, and I miss my father’s random outbursts of singing while walking down the hallway!
It’s only 4 days and I’m missing so many things! Hahaha.
Hell, Bangkok is god damn HOT! The air is really polluted. I think parts of my lungs may have specks of grey dirt on my alveoli. And I sneezed a few times when the weather was obviously damn bloody hot, so I presume the place is really dusty as well.
This trip was really eventful. There were some ups and downs and my boy and I really learned a lot about the Thais and their culture. I think we may have experienced almost everything that needs to be experienced in this short 4D3N Bangkok trip.
We have:
- Stayed in 2 hotels (some issues here with the Baiyoke staff, quite pissing)
- Almost gotten lost
- Walked kilometres to the BTS Station
- Get harassed by tuk tuk drivers
- Get rejected countless times by taxi drivers
- Been stuck in a horrible traffic jam
- Met Mr. Nice Guy and (who we presume as) Mr. Evil Guy
- Got conned into visiting stupid Export Centers
- Visited at least 4 temples
- Saw the Lucky Buddha and Black Buddha (and most likely got scammed)
- Prayed a lot
- Farted a lot
- Saw a Thai cockroach, a lot of stray dogs and cats
- Told the Thais at least a hundred times that “we are from Singapore” and learned that some of them have visited Singapore and love the food at Golden Mile Complex
- Consumed a lot of chilli and awesome Thai food
- Did a lot of shopping
- Had Traditional Thai Massage
- Saw and heard a crazy Singaporean woman shouting very damn loudly at the hotel staff that, “EH YOUR SERVICE IS VERY BAD LEH YOU KNOW” (what a bloody disgrace, seriously)
- Get teased/laughed at by the Thais (-_-)
- Get sunburned and mild heat rash
- Saw the one and only goal by Spain in the Euro 2008 Finals replay, by chance in the food court
- Realised that we pretty much suck at bargaining
There are still a lot of things lah, but my brain can’t think already. I’m very tired I need to sleep! Tomorrow I gotta go to school to pay my school fees. School holidays are ending!!! >_<
Updates soon. Good night all!
