Bangkok December Trip (Day 3 & 4)

Day 3, we’ve tasted the Bangkok’s most famous Kaiton Pratunam chicken rice as breakfast today. The smooth Thai rice is the nicest I’ve ever had in Bangkok. After that, we walked to the nearest Chit Lom BTS station and started our journey to Chatuchak market. It is one of the must visit in Bangkok. The market is so huge that one could have easily lost in the small rows of shoplots while walking from one alley to another. We were lucky to have the last few pieces of map in hand before the Chatuchak entrance.

Incredibly Cute Bag

Nice home déco

The market has everything that you can name of and some of them are offered at the lowest price as well. In addition, the coconut ice-cream is a must-try food in Chatuchak. They are simply enticing, making you want to try out every combination of toppings.

Finally the shopping is over at Chatuchak. We headed to Union mall next. According to travel source, this mall is frequented by the locals and its pricing is cheaper than those malls in city centre. After one hour spent in the Union mall, all members decided to go back to hotel while my brother and I went for a walk down at the National Stadium BTS. There were number of sports outlets spotted on the main street and some small shops can be found in the little road on the left. I got a running pant at the end.

Tuk-tuk time at Night

During dinner, we were in the Central Chidlom Food Loft where it is about 5 minute walking from Chit Lom BTS station. There was a little surprise moment for my uncle as we celebrated his birthday during the meal. Thanks to the staffs in the food loft for singing the Birthday song together with us and to all the diners for listening that night (though we got a fine of 200 baht for bringing in outside food).

Time flies, the forth day was the last day for us in Bangkok. In the morning, my parents and aunties enjoyed their last hours of shopping nearby the Pratunam area. On the other hand, my uncle and I have witnessed the riot happening right in front of the hotel. The crowd of protesters was huge but everyone did their best not to disturbing others, especially to visitors and business owners. The street calmed at 1230pm and we were glad to reach the airport safely.

Day 4, we had the Chinese Winter Solstice festival in Bangkok. Tangyuan bought at Pratunam.
