Bangkok Getaway - Day 1


Hi Guys, this would be my first post for this month !
Yeahhh... Finally we enter first quarter of this year. Time flies too fast i guess..
Today's blog is about Bangkokkkkkkk ! I love this country so much especially with the foods and fruits. The foods are just suitable with my taste and then the fruits are soooo sweeeet!! 

Last month I went to Bangkok with my mom, my cousin and 5 of my aunties. We were 8 people in a group and we used travel service since this was our first time going to Bangkok ( It wouldn't be funny if we lost in Bangkok). We bought the travel from Indonesia and the tour guide picked us up during our arrival in Suvarnabhumi Airport. They welcomed us with garland =)



For the first day we had free time all day long, so the tour guide just dropped us in hotel and before that they took us to have lunch in MBK (Mahboonkrong) mall. I heard that MBK mall is one of the most favorite mall for Indonesian in Bangkok. When i went there, i found nothing special like what i expected. It reminds me of Berjaya Time Square in Kuala Lumpur. I didn't buy anything 



My first lunch - Tom Yum Goong - 90 THB

I love tom yum goong and i often eat tom yum. But not with this one... This one has thick coconut milk and the taste is just weird to me =(


Thai Sweet Pancake - 20 THB each 

I bought Thai's snack too. I think the taste of the sweet pancake is just normal to me, it's just sweet with the shredded coconut inside the crisp. 

After we had lunch, we went to Siam Discovery. Yaayyyy !! This place is a must go place in Bangkok!! It has Madame Tussauds, yuppp it is a wax museum with a lot of well known figures, say it like Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Will Smith and much more. They make the figure in details, so it looks like the actual person. It cost me around 800 THB for the ticket ( FYI, I bought the ticket through my tour guide).

soooo here we go..posed..posed and posed... Narcissism to the max !

Nicole Kidman - The most flawless wax figure i guess, it looks really real!


My favorite action actor - Jackie Chan

After satisfying out narcissism feel.. We took a walk to Siam Paragon and Siam Center. Since the tour guide had called me to the meeting point, finally we ended our day 1 trip =)
