BKK , Day2
July 09, 2010
Here it goes , so Day 2 at Bangkok was all about running about.
Woke up at 8am and get ready for breakfast and prepare everything and off we headed for Prayers at Chidlom. Its called Erawan Shrine, you also can enjoy the five-star hotels and upscale malls surrounded there. In case you all don't know more than 90 percent of Thailand's population are Buddhist, but they mix aspects of Hindu and animist beliefs into their spiritual perception. Buddha was born in India during the 5th century BC as a Hindu prince named Siddhartha Gautama.

So after all the prayers we headed to the floating market. I went to Thailand like almost 5times but I never went to their floating market before , so this time we must go!
The Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, situated 110 kms west of Bangkok, 1hour drive from town. Is a very attractive place for tourists to see the old style and traditional way of selling and buying fruits, vegetables, from small boats. You will also see traditional Thai houses, the way they live and travel by boats.
Well on the tourist trail, a trip to the Damnoen Saduak floating market is still worth doing. Totally chaotic, small 'khlongs' or canals are filled with flat boats piled high with fresh produce, each jockeying for position and paddled by ladies ready to stop and bargain at a moment’s notice. It's colourful, noisy, touristy but great fun. During the long-tail boat ride to market, you’ll pass orchards, traditional teak houses and local people going about their lives.
Its a place that we should go when we at Thailand to get experience. But to me , only 1 visit will do , wont go back for another because there is really nothing much.
So after that we headed to MBK Mall for the Teppanyaki that we all ♥ so MUCH!
Is DAMN Delicious you have to trust me. After the lunch , its Shopping time. Separate walked , me and my bro together and I shop like hell but only spend RM200 in total.
So little huh?? goooood ~
