Sawadee-Ka!!

 Kick-start 2012 with a short but much anticipated getaway to BKK!!
Checked in at Budacco Boutique Hotel. Found this hotel online..was attracted by its sweet pinky room decor...but other than its really clean and bright..the location is a big NO-NO!!

I checked the reviews and all was nice..especially the location..near to BTS..blah blah....
But NO!!!! Its not near to BTS at all!!! And the Pratunum market right below my hotel is freaking crowded and noisy and smelly at times...

Unless you are looking for a shoe-string budget hotel..if not..please stick to your usual Pathuwan Princess or Novotel...I swear my next trip to BKK I'm not gonna save on accommodation!

 Our Oriental Suite

 Towel Elephants

 Our very first meal in BKK...Beef Kway Tiao...the soup base is soooo rich! Yum Yum!!

 My Crazy Shopping Spree starts at Platinum Fashion Mall

 Don't know the name of this dish..Instant noodles with extremely hot and spicy seafood salad..
Get ready a bottle of mineral water :p

One of the many roadside snack

 Day 2: Failed big time in acting cute..bleah!!

Saw my red eyes?? Resulted from lack of sleep and air pollution I guess...

Think I looked like a zombie..

 The alley right outside our hotel

 Kevin..you are not forgotten..Hee!

 Been looking for dry wanton mee...finally found it...Pretty good!

It may sound silly..but this omelette rice is one of the best meal so far..simply heavenly delicious :)

 

Sight of BKK when there is no jam

 Many thanks to Paul and his lovely family for treating us to a sumptuous dinner near their place in BKK :)

 The amount of plastic bags from my shopping..not all yet :p

Will upload the pix from our visit to Madame Tussauds BKK soon! Till then :)
