Bangkok - Things to Do at Chinatown During Day Time!

Image
There is a Chinese phrase saying that wherever there is ocean, there is Chinese. Not sure whether is it correct or not to translate in this way, but the meaning is there! XD Maybe this can explain why there is Chinatown in many cities around the world! So we are here today at Chinatown, Bangkok! The landmark! Chinatown at Bangkok is more happening at night where there are lots of food stalls and pubs! We shared about this famous TK seafood before! However, we are heading to Chinatown this time in the morning! When the sun is burning hot on top of the sky LOL!  Busy street in the morning. So we are going to share about top things to do during day time at Chinatown, Bangkok! Top 1: Golden Buddha Temple, Wat Traimit Golden Buddha Temple, or Wat Traimit sits the world’s largest sold gold Buddha image.

Click here for our full itinerary. Sweet tooth... Raise your hands up! If you are a dessert-person like me, you definitely should not miss the chance to dine at café around Bangkok! There are quite a number of good cafes over here! Hmm…but I not going to talk about high-tea in this post, I wanna talk about T.O.A.S.T !!! After You Dessert Café, I believe this café would be in most people’s itinerary when they are travelling to Bangkok! So we are here for their famous toast! We went to After You at Siam Paragon. Luckily, the queue is not too long that night. Due to popularity of this cafe, you need to get a running number and wait to be seated!  After You @ Siam Paragon. While waiting to be seated, we browsed through their menu first! They have few branches around Bangkok, can always find a reason to place a visit LOL :P The cafe environment is good, with music playing around and there is even a souvenir session for you to shop!  Here c...

This post marked the 100th post for Kanghuekia! Congrats to us LOL :) Standard Charactered KL Marathon (SCKLM) 2015 had to be cancelled due to the weather conditions. Pollutant index kept increasing during last 2 days and the haze condition is not safe for us to run. Hazy KL.. The event organizer had to cancel the run one day before the race day and participants can still go to Dataran Merdeka to collect their entitlements from 6am to 12pm, Sunday (4 th October 2015). We are there too, to collect our finisher tee and medal. The crowd at Dataran Merdeka is more than expected. People are busy taking photos at the finishing line after collecting their entitlements.

Bangkok - Terminal 21 (Pier 21 Food Court & Toilets! :P)

Image
Terminal 21, a shopping mall in Bangkok city centre which is well-known with its design which is just like an airport with few departure halls to different countries around the world!  Besides that, Terminal 21 is well-known with: i) Funny and creative toilet design! ii) Good food with cheap price at Pier 21 (The shopping mall's food court). Hello San Francisco! The way to toilet... The toilet... Haha, my travel itinerary :P Welcome to my kitchen-themed washroom! The longest escalator I ever had! Covering 3 floors! After a short walk around the mall, we had our dinner at Pier 21! Before this, we bought one food "debit card" at the counter next to the food court's entrance. You can choose to top-up any amount of money to the card and use the "debit card" to pay for your food later on. Of course, you can get back your remaining money by returning the card to the counter after your meal :) With the card on-han...
