When I was in BKK...(part 1)

When I was in Bangkok. (yeah I want to start that way lol)

I booked this flight last November 2012 with Roz for August 1 to 6, 2013. She wanted to see her Mario Maurer and I wanted to ride elephants!!! (And then Mario and Baifern were in Trinoma Mall that Saturday, August 3. Bummer.)

We've arrived in Thailand around 9:40AM and I have to say Suvarnabhumi Airport is very beautiful like their country. We chose a taxi over the BTS Airport link simply because I don't know how it works (well not work work) but they say it's way cheaper.

We had to basically take a power nap after arriving since we were both tired (yeah right, a 2 hour flight).


Day 1. Temple Run.
We got a Tuk-Tuk (Taxi, not the metered taxi) to get us to 3 temples for the day for 300 Baht. (really got ripped off but hey, no hate there though). We really had no clue on what to ride to get where we want.

• Wat Benchamabophit (The Marble Temple)

Entrance fee: 20THB
Inside the temple we can sit and pray on to Buddha, there were some exclusive for monks.

•  Wat Intharawihan (32 meter high standing Buddha)

Entrance fee: 0THB
We got a chance to understand what was the gold-paper-like-thing and sash on Buddha. And I managed to take a video of it.

• Wat Phra Kaew (The Temple of Emerald Buddha)

Entrance fee: 500THB
Last stop for our Tuk-Tuk driver which we practically weren't able to see because to it was about to close (it closes at 4:00PM). We did still manage to take pictures outside though.

From Wat Phra Kaew we walked to Khao San Road (about 15-20mins) and got ourselves a tour for Ayutthaya and Bang Pa-In for the next day. Got our dinner in Pad Thai Restaurant in Khao San. It's really good...I still can taste it...lol.

In this kind of trip you have to pack a lot of patience. When people say language barrier, believe it!

Davao Trip 2011: G.Mall

Davao Trip 2011: Day 2 April 13, G.Mall

Mom had forced us (Bro.1 and Bro.2) out of our beds to go around the city and explore. And so we did. We rode a jeepney to which had a signboard of G.Mall (thinking okay we wouldn't get lost since it would be a mall right?) So here we are in the largest city in the south and we would rather go to a MALL! So there we were just wandering around…then we decided to watch RIO and had a brothers-sister-bonding. The movie was great but the cinema there is bad hahaha. We were scared to try something from the local so we ate at Mang Inasal instead (waaah!) and had Tutti Frutti for dessert. Mom was furious when she found out we just went malling hahaha (but it’s okay at least I had a good time with my brothers).

Fare: P8.00 (minimum)

Jeepney: G.Mall Signboard

Davao Trip 2011

We left for Davao on April 12^th 2011. During the flight we were okay, not after we had some ferris-wheel-like experience and when we were about to land mom had some trouble, half of her head just around her right eye was aching maybe it was something to do with the cabin pressure…hmmm hope she’ll be okay next time.

Davao Trip 2011: Day 1, Arrival

Davao International Airport is very nice I have to say…We were so tired when we arrived around 7PM… and the good thing is that our hotel had a service (YAY! At least we don’t have to worry on how to get to our hotel) we stayed in Grand Regal Hotel. So of course hahaha nothing happened in our first day we just had to rest.

wait for my next post... ^_^
