3rd Day in Bangkok - Chatuchak Weekend Market

Day 3 in Bangkok ...as usual breakfast kat bilik while waiting for my turn to mandi ...then pas siap2 terus turun ke lobby to get a taxi ...destination: Chatuchak Weekend Market ...the biggest open air market in South East Asia (dah masuk Guiness World Record kata nya) ...masa taxi sampai, the hotel staffs reminded us to take care of our stuffs masa kat Chatuchak ...org ramai kata mereka ...kena extra careful with bags, wallets, camera etc ..

 breakfast with tuna sandwich - makanan ruji aku!

again, macam Suan Lum bazaar punya style...lots of small stalls selling basically everything under the sun ...kalau ikut my guide map, ada more than 8000 stalls ...besar!!! and kat sini boleh bargain2 ...and tak macam kat Indonesia, kalau ngko suka tak suka barang tu, boleh try ...kalau tak beli pun, diorang tak marah ...very polite and masih boleh senyum ...kat sini pun ada a few atm machines as well as money changer ...tapi kalau nak shopping maut kat sini sediakan cash banyak2 ...jarang sekali ada stall yang terima credit card! jgn jadi mcm aku, byk nak beli tapi takde cash ...padahal sampai2 jer terus tukar my RM to baht ...tak cukup jugak!


pastu sampai2 je rambang mata ...tak tau arah mana nak dituju .....selang 2-3 kedai terus jumpa baju hehehe maka pengembaraan bargain hunting bermula ...tak byk gambar kat sini sebab asyik tengok barang ..kamera tersimpan rapi dalam beg!



 stalls makanan banyak kat sini ...mcm2 ada




murah-murah plak tu ...the aroma mmg sungguh memanggil-manggil ...more posting on food ada kat my blog (click here)...

we had our lunch here ...we carik stall yang ada jual som tam - green papaya salad ..aku dah lama nak try benda nie ..akhirnyer tercapai jua! I love it so much ...hari2 makan pun takde :- (check out the posting in the other blog - click here)


our lunch menu ...

Pusing punya pusing ...till we ran out of money ...baru ada ati nak balik ...itu pun dalam keterpaksaan ...kalau aku ke Bangkok lagi, aku kan ke sini lagi ....aku belum tengok 1/4 pun kawasan nie!

buah-buahan segar!

tak tau benda nie apa ...but looks like a package of ingredients to make something


elena couldn't resist buying some fruits

Balik hotel dalam kol 2 gitu ...rehat2 jap...mandi2 refesh gitu ..pastu pi turun Glen Lounge kat hotel utk high tea (click here) ...ok jer lah ..portion kecik ...malam tu pi dinner at the mall kat Victory Monument ...our last dinner in Bangkok ....akan menyusul nanti...

Adoiiii buah2an sedap nya jin!
Kau punya tuna sandwich nampak cam junk food crackers apa jer ya...I relied heavily on tuna jugak 4 days in HK for bfast.

Tuna nko bawak sendiri ke or tapau kat sana? The kids complaint tak pasal food kat HK ke diorang suka makanan kat sana tu?

kat Bangkok, tuna packet cam nie can be bought in most supermarkets and 7-Eleven ...bread with tuna filling lah...not cracker ..kecik jer portion dalam 120 baht ...
