go back

Saturday, February 10, 2007
Just came back from bangkok todae. Been a short 4 days trip and I can't claim that I have seen everything there is to see in Thailand. Think I missed a Wat Arun temple. Said to be quite a nice view fromt he river. Well at least been to a few places. Been to Grand Palace, Wat Pho and Wat Phra Kaew, nice historical and religious places to visit. Then of course theres shopping at Siam Paragon, MBK and many other shopping centers, not forgeting the hot and confusing Chatuchak Weekend market today.

Overall impression of Thailand is that people are very pretty and nice. They are very polite and even when I bum into people, they say sorry when its not really their fault. My mum bought something cheap at a roadside stall and when the shoe do not really fit, she went back to change. It cost 99B so when she pick another nice one at 45B, she was still looking for another pair to top it back to 99B. Well apparently it dun work the same way in Thailand, she refunded my mum 50B, which will and NEVER happened in Singapore. Somemore goods sold are non-refundable.

But of course there are some blacksheeps. We met a pair of con-men who gang up to make us ride his stupid Tuk-tuk. It didn't not cheat us of a lot of money, just wasted us 2 hours circling around bangkok, smelling dusty traffic. But I must say its a nice experience, seeing people riding it in James Bond movie and Ong Bak. Finally got a taste of what it feels like: Fast and dusty.
Just a tip to people visiting Thailand, beware of strangers who can speak English talking to you. Normal Thais do not speak English. Hahah.
