Date: 31 Oct 09

Time of Departure: 7am
Travel Companion: The Ngs and the Cousins from Leong's clan
===========================================
Sawatdee Kaa!

We braved the rain and managed to reach Budget Terminal at ungodly hour of 5am for our 3rd Family holiday trip to Land of Smiles, Bangkok with my bunch of lovely cousins!

[Waiting to walk to our Plane. I missed Aerorbidges! And I swear we will not book such odd timing though our fares were relatively cheap but we spent so much on Taxi fare to the Terminal due to surcharges]

The no-frills flight at 7am.. traveling time is only 2hrs.


D slept for 30 min after take off and was surprisingly well-behaved on board. We did not had a chance to use the portable DVD player that we brought along.



There was long queues to clear the Immigrations but we were escorted to the special queue for VIPs/Diplomatics when they see us trying to stop D from running around. Thumbs up for Thai's immigration.

We had our Brunch at Nara Restaurant which is located opposite our hotel.


Then to our hotel- Hoiday Inn, Chidlom
D inspected the toilet when he first stepped and no bath tub to his dismay!



Our Lunch at a local Thai restaurant- Home Kitchen:
Some of the dishes that we ordered..




We went to Siam Paragon to shop on our own before adjourning for dinner at Somboon Seafood

Their famous fried curry crab.. but I still prefer our S'pore's version





Thank God for Bottled food- Heinz Apple Cinnamon Porridge which is the only flavour he likes.. otherwise D would not have much food choices..


My lovely cousins and a wonderful Thai friend whom brought us around


We went for coffee and cakes before returning to the hotel for a night rest.
