Bangkok [photo-diary part 1]

my trusted chuck

still mourning for the passing King Bhumibol :'(

And I am back again in Bangkok, Thailand. Always love the city, it is a good food, good shopping and love the temples! I can only sum it up to 3 parts as I don't have time to really compose a story. Hopefully the images can tell its own story, and if not --the caption would hopefully help.

Party with the stars

Sitting with Oprah, party with Will Smith... and here is the party of the decades, with all of these famous people.... it was fantastic!

I am having a lot of fun... enjoy the pictures!

Wat Pho, Wat Arun

Today the schedule is Wat Arun and Wat Pho, but we are stopping by the Grand Palace and took picture in front of the Palace since it is near to Wat Pho. It is my 4th time here, and I have visited the Grand Palace for 2 times already, so I wanted to skip this one. (see past visit here and here).

VS mall

and how was the mall of Bangkok? well... I love the food (in picture Phad Thai), and the supermarket, haha....

Chatuchak

When we purchase Bangkok ticket, we knew that we will visit Chatuchak. Chatuchak is the weekend market in Bangkok, it is the largest market in Thailand and the world's largest weekend market. The market covers over 35 acres and contains of 15,000 stalls. It is estimated that the market receives 200,000 visitors each day. Most stalls only open on Saturdays and Sundays though Jatujak Plaza, the western section is open daily (the north west corner is the Jatujak Mall). The market has a wide variety of products including household items, clothing, Thai handicrafts, religious artifacts, collectibles, food, and live animals.

love the colors...

Asiatique the Riverfront

I am soooo happy to be back in Bangkok again, I have planned and purchased flight tickets and hotel voucher for this special trip about 9 months ago! It is special because its a trip with my besties, and specially its a down-memory-lane trip with my BFFE! (click here for past trip).

We arrived in the afternoon and after checking in to our hotel, we decided to have dinner in “ASIATIQUE The Riverfront,” its the biggest lifestyle project in Asia on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, and one of Bangkok’s trendiest landmark! Asiatique is in the same area which the East Asiatic pier back in the 1900s during the reign of King Chulalongkorn, Asian countries were under threat of invasion from the European superpowers. With his great foresight, King Chulalongkorn took the initiative to raise Siam to the level of leading countries of the world and build construction of a pier belonging to the East Asiatic Company, a business dedicated to the export of teak wood. This pier signaled the beginning of international trade between the Kingdom of Siam (the former name of Thailand) and European nations and was the key to Siam maintaining the sovereignty and independence it enjoys to this day. And now housing some of the best fine-dining restaurant and local designers boutique, Asiatique is most definitely an excursion that you should not miss!
