It was a short getaway. We were a bit concerned about going, the H1N1 and political issues being our main concerns. In the end we decided to just wing it, and Alhamdulillah everything went well.
Day 1
I did the web check-in as I didn't want to be stuck with all the early morning travelers, so we arrived ngam-ngam an hour before our departure. Dropped off the luggage at the drop-off counter, and we were ready to go.
Aliah was OK with it, as I had pep talked her earlier about where we were going and when we'll come back. I wasn't worried to much about her as her cousins were around. Jannah was being a bit moody, not too sure whether it was the early morning or the crowds that caused it. I was concern too for her, as she had a slight fever the previous night. But I know she is in good hands with Anik, and Mama is around to help her too.
We arrived at Suvarnabhumi airport after a 2 hour flight. Immigration was smooth and easy, luggage was out early, our airport transfer guy was waiting outside and we headed straight for the hotel.
Because we arrived early, we could not check in to our room yet. So we decided to go for a short walk to the duty free mall next door. Hoo-hum, nothing much to see. Hehe.. But we did find the Aksra Theatre on the 3rd floor and promptly bought tickets for Saturday night show.
Head back to the hotel, got our room keys and checked out the room. It was lovely! We got the garden view room and this is what we saw when we looked out the window. Check out the pool! Of course we couldn't resist from dipping in. Syiok!
After maghrib, we left for the Suan Lum Night Baazar. Our hotel is close by to the BTS station, and even so they had a complimentary tuk tuk service for their guests to the train station. Kerana lapar, we stopped at Nana station (ye, ada station sempena nama saya!), headed for Sukhumvit Soi 3 and went looking for some Muslim food there. This is the best place for halal food, Pak Arab memang merata-rata kat situ.
As the Asok-Sukhumvit interchange was just at the next station, we decided to walk. Next, we took the subway to Lumphini station, the stop for the night baazar. It was quite spacious, and sold everything from clothes to trinkets to food to household items. And it was a case of see one seen it all. No complains though as we were there to enjoy the sights and atmosphere.
Notice above pic has an elephant in it? Selamba je gajah tu lalu tengah jalan, we figured out later it was an attraction and you pay the trainer to feed and take pictures with the elephant. Seterusnya, gambar us fooling around at the hotel. Lawa seh hotel tu.. mmg worth every penny we paid for it.
..next Day 2 and Day 3..
