My long-awaited trip to Bangkok. As the main purpose for this trip is shopping, thus very few photos taken for this trip compared to last trip to Angkor Wat. We took 8.25am flight to Bangkok. We reached LCCT at about 7am. Just right time for us to have quick breakfast at McD.
I don’t know why i still want to take photo before going up to this AirAsia plane although i have took this similar photo before. 
Fill up the petrol tank before fly. This is my first time seeing plane filling up the petrol.
We reached Suvarnabumi Airport at Bangkok. It is a big airport. You have to walked quite far for custom clearance and baggage claim. But the Suvarnabumi Airport is much bigger and pretty than KLIA.
After check-out, there are some ladies will ask you if you want taxi services. I believe they are under airport staff because price quoted by them is very expensive, 1100Bath. We immediately walked away until we about to reach the gate. There was a lady approached us and claimed that she is airport staff and help us to taxi. I told her that i wanted to take public taxi and she told me she is here to help me to translate the hotel’s name to Thai language so the taxi driver knows where it is. I asked about the price and she told me the price would be around 300-400Bath. So i agreed as i know this is the reasonable price after searching info from the forums.
Queeing up to buy ticket for public taxi. We need to pay surcharge of 50Bath and pay any toll charges incurred too. But the toll charges only 25Bath. So it is okay for us.
End up, we only paid 300Bath for taxi fare from airport to Pratunam area (First House Hotel) which included surcharge and toll charge. We were quite surprised as we were prepared pay 400Bath as mentioned by the lady in the airport just now. The taxi driver is very honest as he used meter to charge us, so he would not charge us extra.
Actually i quite dissappointed with the hotel. It is because i expected the look as what the hotel website photos especially the room photos. But end up, the actual room looks so old and everything is quite aged already. But never mind lah, cheap room with good location, who cares. I’m not coming here for staying long in the hotel, so i don’t really mind actually.
After checked-in to the hotel and put our luggage, we immediately walked to Platinum Fashion Mall to shop.
The traffic in Pratunam area. My friend told me Bangkok is reckoned as worst traffic (always jam) in Asia. Is it true?
Bangkok taxis are all in pink!!! Don’t you think they are adorable in pink? (^_^) Besides pink, also got other colors like yellow and blue. But mostly in pink!!!! So they are very eye-catching. Don’t you think so?
My lunch at Platinum’s Foodcourt, 6th floor if i’m not mistaken. It is glass noodle in tomyam goong. I told myself i must have tomyam goong in Bangkok. I must reckon that the tomyam goes very good with glass noodle instead of meehoon. The taste is sweet, spicy and sour. There are two to three big prawns. I believe seafood in Bangkok is cheap? As they able to give two to three big prawns for this glass noodle tomyam goong with only 800Bath?
Pad Thai for hubby. He has no idea what to eat, so i suggested him Pad Thai, after i read some forum saying that must try Pad Thai in Bangkok. Actually it is like our local fried kuey tiaw, but Pad Thai’s taste is very sweet. However, there is two big prawns too!! hehe… But this Pad Thai is too sweet for me. 
After having our lunch, feeling excited, we started our shopping spree. Actually i wanted to snap some photos of the mall, but there is a guard when i entered the mall and told us we are not allowed to take photo in the mall. I just wonder why. So we behaved ourselves as we were at other people’s country mah. hehe
Rest a while and have a cup of tea at Black Canyon Coffee. You can see this, Black Canyon Coffee everywhere in Bangkok, as if like Starbucks or Coffee Bean in Malaysia. They even have three branches in this Platinum Fashion Mall!!! (O_o) Try their Black Canyon Coffee Frappe. It is really good….!!!
Although the mall looks not promising from outside and quite packed inside as every shop is very small and no fitting room for you to try, but you are not surprised if you see lots of foreigners or tourists here. Also don’t be surprised if you see people pulling big bags of stuff as i believe most of the boutique owners get their stocks here. My favourite line here is “how much”, “wholesale price how much”. Yes, there is different price if you buy one piece, two pieces or three pieces. Three pieces consider wholesale for them already. So the more you buy, the cheaper you can get.
After few hours here, we decided to go back hotel to rest awhile.
Grilled prawn. Hubby was so tempted when seeing this grilled prawn. But he not dare to try at the end. He is quite regret by now everytime seeing this grilled prawn photo because he is saying that all the virus should be totally killed already by grilled them like this.
Another hubby’s favourite. He just loves grilled squids so so much. Again, he was not dare to try. So just snap some photo to kill his emptiness of his stomach. 
Some of the street food. Grilled/fried food.
Grilled fish and chicken. The grilled chicken is just like our local ayam golek. hehe. But the grilled fish is really not good looking thou. Do you dare to try ?
This lady is selling tomyam maggi mee at one of the small lane. See the cockles, prawns, squids, pieces of hotdog at left side? I guess the tomyam maggi mee must be very nice. But i think we are able to cook the same thing at our own too. hehe…
We went back to the Platinum again at about 7pm something. By then, we noticed that most of the shops going to close at that hour. So, we just straight went to the foodcourt again to have our dinner.
My dinner, grilled salmon bento. I don’t remember the price, but i guess around 60-80Bath. So it is quite cheap for me. Comes togather with a bowl of soup too. The taste, okay okay.
Hubby seafood fried rice. He just simply loves squid. As long as there is squid for his meal, he is satisfy. 
Fried oyster. We ordered this after seeing the oysters are big and fresh. Fried togather with egg. But this fried oyster don’t have taste at all. Maybe we need to add on the sugar, chillies at our own. Other than big oysters, this fried oysters don’t have taste…. So, please do not order this at any foodcourt in Bangkok, unless you know how to blend the taste at your own with the sugar and chillies provided lah.
Hubby has not enough with his seafood fried rice. Ordered this japanese tako. Taste wise, so-so loh. Hehe…
Oh yea….i forgot to mention that we need to buy a card before we can order any food at the Platinum Foodcourt. You can buy at any value you wish. Any unused credit can be refunded. So you can use the card when ordering your food. You will use the card as credit card and the seller will swipe your card and give you a receipt stating your meal value and the balance of your card.
Pratunam at night.
We went back to hotel after our dinner to rest, as we need to get up early for temple visit tomorrow.
