WRTS Featuring TLZ
All geared up. . .
We stayed at Siam Oriental Inn located in the famous backpackers' area of Khao San Road. Since the accomodation is for lodging purposes, putting up at a guesthouse saves us a lot of money. It cost only THB690 for a triple room per night. (Approx. SGD30). Therefore each person only forked out $10 per night!
First meal in Bangkok...
We immediately head to Platinum Mall after checking in. Its a must-go place for the girls, if not they will murder the guys. Girls being girls, they spent like there's no tomorrow, grabbing everything which caught their eyes. The guys only bought 2 tops each from there as we felt Chatuchak was the place for us. Indeed it was! We were at Chatuchak on Sunday from 1000 to 1600hr and the guys were still not satisfied. We felt that we did not comb the whole area thoroughly which was impossible anyway.
Ladies busy doing their shopping...
The guys did some self-entertainment as we were getting bored. . .
Guess who was really reading the map and who was pretending to read the map?
We even planned a gift exchange way before the trip. We drew lots and bought the gift in Singapore for the intended recipient. Ironically, we exchanged gifts in pair, meaning that we received the gift from the one whom we were supposed to buy for!

A trip to Bangkok will be incomplete without sipping Thai Ice Tea, drinking Tom Yam and 
eating Pad Thai! The guys even munched on Crickets which tasted like ikan bilis.

Taking a break after hours in Chatuchak. . .
Our only Skytrain ride from Mo Chit to Siam...
We didn't only found counterfeit goods in Chatuchak, we found Rain and Jason Mraz impersonators too!
We organised our own very fashion show on the second night. We displayed all our items in the guys' room and each one of us picked an outfit to model and parade in. . .

The Grand Palace is just a 10 minutes walk from our guesthouse. The visit enriched our mind and soul as we appreciate the magnificent architectural design of the structures.
We were hiding our ice cream, that explains why one of our hands were placed behind our backs. . .
HIPPIE was our chillout place on the first and last night of the trip. The cosy setting and ambience is perfect for chilling. Wide range of music were spinned, from Fool's Garden to Katy Perry. Lots of silly and embarrasing moments happened on the last night. We enjoyed ourselves though. Definitely our favourite place, thumbs up!
The trip ended on a good note. No major quarrels took place as forecasted. Many many thanks to Lingzi for trying very hard to control her temper (though she lost it several times) and put up with our antics. . . Also for the great photos from her camera. There are lots more photos of the trip, which can be viewed on Lynn's blog or Fadly's Facebook. Special thanks to:
--Lynn and Jenn for playing a major part in planning the trip,
--Jef for taking the lead and take care of us
--Huiliang, for participating.
