DoroT Travels: Bangkok 4D3N 曼谷走透透 (RM358吃喝玩乐)

Sawadeeka! 
像泰国妹妹吗?lol
Yes I visited our neighbouring country again (basically an annual trip haha) but it was my first time bound to BKK actually. 
(Penangites usually visit the southern Thailand, namely Hatyai.) 
萨哇猪脚~ 我又去泰国啦,只是这次不是去合艾,而是首都曼谷。

Sneak peak: Simply irresistible local Thai cuisine! 

The reason why we chose BKK over Hatyai this time was this. #airasia 
很开心亚航这次有优惠。因为平时吉隆坡-曼谷会比槟城-曼谷来得便宜。
(懒惰转机去吉隆坡)
The promo is still ongoing, grab it before it ends yo~ 
(It will be around RM450 after adding 20kg luggage though) 
要去的朋友快点啦,优惠到明年。

DAY 1: AIRPORT - RAMBUTTRI VILLAGE INN - KHAOSAN ROAD


Arrived the airport at 3PM local time and it took us 45 mins (Uber 350baht) to get to this Rambuttri Village Inn & Plaza (Around RM120 per night)
下午3点抵达机场,搭优步用了45分钟抵达我们的酒店。







Rambuttri Village Inn & Plaza
Address: 95, Soi Ram Buttri, Chakkra Phong Road, Phra Nakom, Bangkok 10200
Contact: +662 - 9330205-7 ext 129 Fax: +662 - 5141072
Website: www.RambuttriVillageInnBangkok.com


The room was decent and satisfactory in terms of cleanliness and service but there might be some hassle due to lack of elevator, we gotta carry our own luggage to the 3rd floor. 
房间舒适干净,只不过他们没有电梯,要自己把旅行箱杠上3楼的房间。


Heading to Khao San road (only 2 min walking distance)
接着我们就下去Khao San Road 逛一下啦。(2分钟路程)


That's how the menu being kept, recklessly on a basket. 
很随性的把餐单放在篮子里。

Local street food (400baht in total)
Dragonfruit juice, fried kailan, padthai chicken, tomyam seafood and papaya salad
饿了就点路边的泰式煮炒,味道不错。


The night has fallen, here comes the party, 
夜晚莅临,派对开始。


Khaosan night market 考山夜市


Coconut ice cream (50baht) 凉爽的椰肉冰淇淋




Khaosan is full of night bars, clubs and of course tourists like us.
这里有很多夜店,酒吧还有我们这些外国人。


Local vendor selling handsewn quilt and the 'annoying-frog' 
(the wooden frog that croaks)
这位姐姐卖的是手工帽子还有那发出声音的木制青蛙。














Supper: Pork Noodle which was not to my liking due to heavy scent of the coriander and black pepper. (50baht)
宵夜是路边小档猪肉面,味道非常浓郁因为有芫茜和黑胡椒。


Pork sausages 猪肉香肠


Back to hotel~ 回酒店啦。


DAY 2: BREAKFAST (STREET FOOD) - THE GRAND PALACE - LUNCH (SIAM HOUSE) - PINNACLE LUMPINEE HOTEL - SIAM SQUARE - CIELO SKY BAR

Braised pork trotter rice is a must-have in Thailand and we were fascinated even a small roadside dish could win our hearts 
with such tenderly flavoured meat. (50baht)
我们在酒店附近吃这路边焖猪脚饭,味道很棒又便宜. 


Walked 2km to The Grand Palace as it was not worth to take grab/uber and it's the mourning period for the late King and thus most of the roads were denied access.
接着我们走2公里去到大皇宫。现在是先王哀悼期,
所以主要的路是封着,车子也不能进去。


Pain coffee. lol
We had a sip of coffee at this Au Bon Pain opposite the Grand Palace as we were too early (opens at 9.30AM - 3.30PM)
我们在对面的咖啡馆歇一会,因为大皇宫9点半才开门,我们太早啦。




Q-ing for tickets 500baht each. Mind the dress code - 
strictly no shorts or sleeveless.
排队买票500铢,记得短裤,无袖都不可以进去。


Mesmerizing, classic, elegant  哇,好壮观呀。














The weather certainly could kill puteri lilin like me. (I'm photosensitive) and we left after 2 hours of walking under the hot sun and being pushed here and there by the tourists from Cxxx. 
其实皇宫真的不小,我们大约走了2小时(在太阳底下)快要晒死了。
接着我们就回酒店啦。



Rated #49 best restaurant in Tripadvisor, we decided to give it a try. 
这Siam House 在网站排名49,我们就想试一试。
(Grabcar 180baht from Rambuttri Villa Inn to Siam House)


Siam House at Silom Soi 20, family owned, petite and cozy with friendly service. 
台面不大,不过有点温馨家室的感觉。

Our heavy 870baht lunch was utterly worth every single penny. Every dish was right on the point except for the pink dessert which was slightly bizarre with the butter bread dipped in syrup shaved ice.
我们都很满意这午餐,东炎公,春卷,焖猪脚都味道十足,唯独是那粉红色的面包刨冰,有点奇怪。


Next stop, moved to Pinnacle Lumpinee Hotel (around RM132 with breakfast) 
接着我们搬去另一家酒店啦。
(Grabcar 112baht from Siam House to Hotel)
Pinnacle Lumpinee Hotel
Address: 17 Soi Ngam Duphli, Rama 4 Road, Sathorn, Bangkok 10120 Thailand

这里有很可爱的鹦鹉当你的服务员。


Wow best hotel ever! Spacious, clean and classy and just right in the downtown of Bangkok.
房间大而舒适,又有茶水,保险箱,位置于市中心,的确比昨天的酒店好得多。


Next stop - Shopping at Siam Paragon & Siam Square
接着我们要去著名的商场逛逛啦。
(Grabcar from Hotel to Siam Paragon 98baht)
Nippon Kai @ Siam Paragon
逛了就饿了,试了这日本套餐,还不错。

Ahhhh finally I get to meet #afteryou, the renowned sweet tooth haven in Thailand.
Ferrero Toast (235baht), undoubtedly sweet (perhaps too sweet for me) and the price is at the higher side.
其实我最最最期待的就是After You甜点! 我们点了这个Ferrero烤面包,是还蛮甜的,价钱也略高。可能下次应该点其他的。

Pardon my saliva drooling face 流口水了。


Skybar is also in our must-go list. We chose Cielo Skybar as the price was slightly lower than the others.
露天酒吧也是曼谷必去的地方。我们选了这间因为价格略显低一些。
(Grabcar from Platinum Mall to Cielo 195baht)


I would not say the Mojito (350baht) is the best but I think it was fair, 
not so extraordinary.
Btw, just to remind that the snacks were overpriced such as a small bowl of fries was charged at 350baht. 
酒精饮品都是不错的,只不过记得他们家的小吃都超贵的。
(一小碗薯条竟然要350泰铢)


Cielo Sky Bar & Restaurant
Address: 46th Floor, Sky Walk Condominium, W District, Sukhumvit 69-71. 
3 mins walk from Phra Khanong BTS Station
Contact: 02 348 9100, 081 916 4270

The panoramic view of the night city.
It was a gloomy night though.

Went back to hotel with Grabcar again.
(Grabcar Cielo to Pinnacle Lumpinee Hotel 111baht)



DAY 3: PLATINUM FASHION MALL - NEW ROT FAI MARKET

Rise and shine, buffet breakfast provided by the Pinnacle Lumpinee Hotel. 
今天早餐是酒店提供的,食物种类不少。



Flaunting my new shades 新的黑超 xD

Next headed to Platinum Fashion Mall which houses numerous wholesale retails. No pics of the mall as I was too busy to do my shopping. lol Besides, some of the vendors would carry some big luggage to purchase the products in bulk.
今天目的就是血拚到底!Platinum Fashion Mall 是城中著名的直销商场,很多卖家都是拖着大大小小行李来扫货的。
(Grabcar from Hotel to Platinum Fashion Mall 93baht)



Braised pork intestines and meat - Our lunch in Platinum Fashion Mall food court.
逛了累了,就在广场的餐厅吃午餐,猪肉和内脏配饭,味道还好而已。
(这里选择不多又很多人)
(Grabcar from Platinum Fashion Mall to Hotel 135baht)


New Rot Fai (Rachada) market is where we spent our last night in Bkk. It's new, spacious with many varieties of food and entertainment. However, it was a Friday night which traffic congestion was expected and 
it took us almost one hour to get there.
回酒店休息一会,我们又出发了,搭了1小时的车去这个New Rot Fai夜市因为今天是星期五,曼谷的塞车状况是很恐怖的我们的三倍。
(Grabcar from Hotel to New Rot Fai Market 186baht + 50baht toll)




A sudden downpour had filled the drains and made us drenched. Therefore, we stopped by at a little stall selling grilled seafood.
那天天气不好,一直下大雨(槟城淹水那天),所以我们只好在随便一个档口坐下,就坐在这烤海鲜的地方了。

Mixed Seafood (570baht)
Gigantic fish and prawn, grilled to a perfection and with light seasalt seasoning.
大虾子,螃蟹和鱼以传统的烧烤方式加上海盐来提味。


Thai Singha beer - best match for seafood
配上啤酒就一级棒啦。


Diced Pork with Cheese (50baht) So sinful yet yummy
不健康小吃一:芝士猪肉,又香又有嚼劲

Another sinful snacks - Fries in cheese
不健康小吃二:芝士薯条 (不管啦)


DAY 4: CHATUCHAK MARKET - DON MUEANG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT


Last day and we decided to visit Chatuchak Weekend Market but too bad due to time constraint, we had to leave early to catch our flight.
来到最后一天了,我们去最大的跳蚤市场逛一逛。

Lil glimpse of the market, the world largest weekend market that made us lose our way and no doubt, the products sold are beyond your expectation, ranging from homecare, fashion, pets to whatever you name it.
这里应有尽有,家居物品,时装,宠物,还有很多很多,我们都没什么时间去逗留因为要赶飞机。所以就再见啦曼谷!

Expenses:
Airasia (Penang - Bangkok) 2 ways with 20kg luggage RM450

Transportation (all by uber/grab) around 500baht

Food around 1800baht 
(500+500+1800baht = 2800 baht/ 7.8 = RM358)
