BACK FROM BANGKOK - THE CITY OF TRAFFIC JAMS AND JOY RIDINGback from bangkok for a few days alrdy.. the trip to bangkok can jus be described in one word -
GREAT! i think it's also cos of the ppl who went.
and yes. we have been conned. by the ppl there. since day 1.
conned by the taxi drivers to the tiger (
thai girl) show to the person tat sells joss sticks outside the temple. but we did learn to be more streetwise, like taking cab by the meter and bargaining like very kiasu singaporeans.
the shopping there was not bad. tat is if you can find wat u like. their things are relatively cheap. the food there is super good. we had tom yam soup for almost every meal. and i promise to stay away from tat for 1 month.
one place we visited everyday was the massage parlour. their foot massage is damn power la. altho it's quite painful at times. but hey i'm strong k. at least i didnt scream. and it's damn funny to see how matt got sooo many thai girls going gaga over him.
thailand superstar huh.. haha.
the traffic jams were horrible. the air is pretty bad too. unfortunately tat's a either or. either u take a cab and get stuck in the traffic jam or u travel in a tuk tuk and end up with a dirt mask after the ride. no tuk tuk dont get stuck in traffic jams cos they weave in and out of traffic like bikes. and it's scary the way ppl drive there. no ones gives a shit abt the right of way etc.
may the fastest survive. funny thing is that horns are seldom heard there.
and yes i enjoyed the trip very much. thanks ppl..
looking forward to the next trip tgt!!
