3D2N @ Thailand

11 May 2007 . This day had finally arrived . today is the day l'm going bangkok with 8 of my close friends . including my brother cedric . jessie . jennifer . bee kuan . garis . adeline tay . valerie and adeline Goh . I met my brother 7.30am at singapore changi Airport terminal 1 to have breakfast . I had 面粉果 . while cedric had fried carrot cake . After that . we proceed to ya kun kaya toast for coffee . bee kuan then arrived . and while waiting for the rest . I ren into SuperHost Finalist 昀颖 . who was going to Beijing for her internship programme for 3 months . we were so excited to see each other that we screamed so loud . causing lots of people to look at us . cedric then took a photo for us . cedric and l then proceed to Row 11 for our check-in to Air Asia . Our flight number was FD 3502 . departing at 10.55am . Throughout the 2-hr flight . each of us have our own activities to pass the time . cedric and l read newspapers and took a nap . Garis played Sudoku . Jessie Jennifer and Adeline Goh played poker card games . while Valerie and Adeline Tay slept throughout the flight . When we reached Bangkok lnternational Airport . we took a group photo after going through the custom checks . Thereafter, our group proceeeded to our hotel; Hotel Asia in 3 taxis Except for a mild jam in the city . the journey was otherwise quite fast and smooth. However, the same cannot be said of the hotel check - in . there was a long delay while checking in as thecounter staff misplaced one of the online booking confirmation for 2 of our rooms . After searching through tons of documents for 45mins . we finally got all the 5 rooms we had earlier booked. To compensate us for the time wasted, all 5 rooms were upgraded to Super - Deluxe Rooms (we had paid only Bht#1770 . or equivalent to $78 for each room per night) . All of us thus had more than we bargained for . lts was already 2.15PM thailand time whan we went into our rooms . Our room number is 1123 - quite a nice number eh ? As our itinerary stated that we will be having lunch at a famous Wanton Mee stall . we changed and gathered again after 5 mins to set off for the stall . lt was only about 20 mins was from our hotel . the noodles there were extremely delicious but also extremely small in portion . cedric . Adeline . Valerie and l each had 2 & servings . the meal was extremely economical too . as each bowl only cost us Bht$40 each . which was about SG$1.70 only ! Then Cedric, Adeline Tay , Valerie and l went shopping at platinum Fashion Mall . and came out fully loaded with our bounty 2 hrs later . We then return to our hotel whereby cedric and l swam at the hotel pool for half-an-hour . Next . we gathered at the hotel lobby to prooceed for dinner at an authentic thai Restaurant called taling pling . lt is located just 5 mins waik away from BTS Station Surasak (S5) . the meal costed Bh$3200 but we had a treat from jessie . Thanks boss ! After dinner . it was another short shopping spree at patpong; near BTS Sala Daeng Station . Our First day in Bangkok ended with a 2-hr mahjong session in jannifer's room . lt was already 2 am thailand time when we went back to our individual rooms . As the mahjong game isn't finished . we intend to complete tomorrow night . Gotta sleep now..need to wake up at 8am thailand time tomorrow for the hotel breakfast . Goodnight for now !
