BANGKOK BABY

Merry Christmas Eve everybody ☺ Started off the day really well and I can't wait for tonight and tmr! ANYWAY J and I just returned from our BKK trip which both of us were really looking forward to. 5D4N passed really quickly, I guess time flies really quickly when you are having fun :( But YES we had loads of shopping, eating and we enjoyed ourselves :') I'm gna miss travelling so much bc I won't be able to travel till next year end but that's ok I guess more time to save up for all the planned places!

I am quite lazy to go into the deets of what/where we ate/went so I'll just highlight some for memories sake haha.

Us about to board! 

It was already close to 6pm after we settled down in the hotel so we decided to just roam nearby places our hotel.. searched on google for nice restaurants and Kosita caught my attention as it has many good reviews and it wasn't too expensive. We walked for quite a bit in the dark and just when we were about to give up, we saw it! It was apparently a house and the restaurant was just beside the house. Nevertheless, the ambience was really good, it had Bali vibes apparently.. but we were the only ones there HAHAH 

Seafood Pad Thai 

Chicken Green Curry 

Tom Yum Goong 

Basil Pork - this had a really unique taste, not something we would get back in sg. 👍It is spicy too! I approve hahahah

Overall Kosita was worth the visit. I think not many people will find this place as it is quite ulu but we had one of the best dinners in bkk! Such a shame that we didn't have time to go back. 

Day 2 - We started off our day getting some street food for breakfast and spent most of our day shopping 🛍

We headed for big dog cafe in the evening! The entrance fee + gst (without any drink) was 240B iirc. Ok personally I find it quite expensive but if you think about the maintenance for the dogs, it is ok lah.

One of the nicest pic I took! Cute doggo posed really nicely hehe

The dog that looks like a walking mop HAHAH 

J carried Casper! 

Chow Chow might be my favourite breed SO CUTE I love!!!!

Day 3 - J's Birthday 💖

Moo Krob Nai Sai for brunch. They are known for their roasted pork which J loves so we put it in our itinerary to try! 

They serve many type of soups as well! 

We initially ordered a large portion of meat to share among 4 of us bc we didn't know how huge the portion is but it turned out to be so mini that we had to order another large portion of meat haha. But it was 120B/portion so no complains. I loved the radish soup and pig skin though really unhealthy but am not a fan of the meat :( J liked the meat tho! We then left for Chatuchak which we spent a few hours before going back to rest for abit. 

Best Beef for dinner! It is like mookata buffet and there were a HUGE crowd when we arrived but it was still pretty early so we didn't have to wait. 

All 4 of us ate so much we were SO FULL bc they also had free flow ice cream! 

happy tummy happy us 😊

Day 4 - more eating and shopping 😋

Roast @ theCOMMONS

J's coffee - name which I forgot 

Couldn't resist their french onion soup even though it was really quite expensive. It was amazing, very nicely cooked/baked?? $16 worth!!

The Breakfast. 

Truffle Alfredo - I major love!!! The portion was also just nice, not too much bc it can get jelak. 

All in all we spent about $32 each - most expensive meal in bkk!!!! But I would say it is worth the visit bc the food was outstanding! Not your normal cafe food ok!!! Would totally come back again!

On our last night, we also went for a more well-reviewed massage at Healthland Asoke. My friends have told me about it before and just nice, our friends on the trip with us also said that it was good so we decided to spend a bit more on massage! 

Usually I'd go for aromatherapy massage bc I prefer oil massage but I settled for Thai massage bc I didn't have enough to spend HAHAHHA it was a difference of 400B and I wanted to use that money to buy more food back. So we paid 600B for 120mins Thai massage and I think the service + quality + ambience really did worth 600B and if you breakdown the calculations, it is only like 100B difference from the normal massage shops (assuming 250B for 60mins) Therefore I would say if you are looking for a good quality massage, just go straight to healthland! 

Ok so that's about the end of our short trip! There were more places we went but I am lazy hahhaah. Thank you J, for being such a sweet travel buddy, for always taking care of me first (when I can take care of myself) HAHAH right now, let's work hard towards our 2021 dream trip and cheers to many more trips to come! 💜

Thank you skies, for awing us with your beauty once again. See you in Nov 2020 :)
