Day 1
We sat a 9am plane and arrive DMK, bangkok airport at 11pm. We booked a van to our hotel (because there was 5 of us). Its much cheaper this way around 1100batt to the hotel. Our hotel, A2 House is situated in the alley where it is walking distance to Pratunam Market, Platinum Mall and Shibuya Mall. Its a little scary when you 1st saw it but I promise you its super cheap, clean and affortable hotel for 5 days, totally recommend it. ( I forgot to take photo of the room, Sorry. ) After we arrived and checked in to the hotel, me and mom went to have lunch then walk around platinum mall. We dare not buy anything there yet cause we are afraid there might be cheaper clothes in chatuchak market haha. Went back to the hotel at 7pm and have dinner bought from 7 eleven. Their food in 7 eleven is just so good even just by microwaving it! Slept straight because we were so tired.
In Bangkok or any where of Thailand, the best place for food is always roadside!! ( Worth the diarrhea lol jk ) you won't really get it.
Found this shopping mall-ish place inside Pratunam Market

Lots of food trucks outside Platinum mall.
Got this from 7 Eleven!
Day 2Woke up early at 8am, had their local people's mixed rice because it looks really good. After that, we went to Pratunam Market to walk around to survey prices. Just a short info about the market is that it opens at 4am - 5pm, its super duper huge market, and most of the stalls offers you to buy 3pcs and above if you want to get wholesale price. Me and my mom got lost and we couldn't find back the entrance that we came from. We ended up using Waze to help us get back haha. After resting awhile in the hotel, we went to Asiatique to meet up with my cousin's wife and her family. ( we last minute found out that there were also going ). We wanted to save taxi money so we walked to the station called "Siam" to sit their BTS/Air Train. It was 15mins walk from our hotel and we also get to pass by Siam paragon. To get to Asiatique you can sit from "Siam" station to "Saphan Taksin" station. It was a crazy idea walking but we made it hahaha. You need to sit boat to Asiatique which you can once see when you get down at "Saphan Taksin" station. You only need to pay 20Batt per person to sit the speed boat because the queue to free boat ride there is way to long.
The place is really worth going for the vibes and photos. We were lucky because there was a rave party going on so we were able to listen to musics. We even went on the ferris wheel to see the rave party from above. Seriously, I'm not sure if I should be able to see Bangkok's night view because i dont remember seeing any because I was too scared throughout the 3 rounds on the ferris wheel lol.
Yesssss its local Thailand mixed rice!! Super good I swear by it! Had it 2 days in a row for breakfast!! Missing it!
Walked over a bridge and passed by this river while walking to Siam Paragon
On the boat ride to Asiatique!
Super pretty handcrafted gift cards. Bought 1 to write wishes for my brother who is leaving to London to further his studies.
The rave party!!
Day 3Woke up super early today because its finally time to go Chatuchak! I've been longing to go this place after hearing so much good feedback. Chatuchak market is a market that cleverly divide its streets to many different categories such as fashion street, pets street, potery streets, art streets and so on. It was too big to finish it in one day ( Shameful to say, we only knew this when we are back in KL lol ). So we went there at 9am, everything was still setting up. We went into the potery street 1st and then art streets and we lastly found the fashion street. But by then we were too tired because the weather was pretty hot and there were too many people so it was stuffy!!
We then escaped and called a cab to the Little Zoo Cafe! We were super unlucky to met a bad cab driver who drives recklessly and then randomly dropped us at a road side near a stadium instead of a cafe and asked us to walk towards the stadium!! ( Not sure if he misunderstood or he's lazy to fetch us ) We ended up walking towards the stadium....But after that we met a really good local guy at the exihibition hall that helped us to call a cab and finally brought us there. People who major loves animal would die coming to this cafe because I died inside. ITS SUPERRRRR WORTH IT! The food is great and the animals are sooo cute! You get to touch animals ranging from cats, kitten, dogs ( corgi! ) parrots to exotic animal like foxes!! It was pretty hard to say goodbye when its time to leave.. :'(
Must Have!! But this store's mango sticky rice and juice is just okay not really good.
Little Zoo Cafe!!
Day 4
Finally the 2nd last day of Bangkok, means we have finished surveying the prices and concluded that Pratunam Market is the best place to shop! So basically on this day, we shopped till we dropped at Pratunam Market and also Platinum Mall hahahaha. We were lucky that we stay near there, so we constantly buy and bring it back to the hotel, then came back down to continue shop again. Did nothing much worth talking for today but shopping hahaha. We went for a nice leg massage after dinner before sleep.
Day 5
Last day of Bangkok, went to do our last shopping in Pratunam Market. Then went to the airport at
