Bangkok trip - Day 2

Day 2

woke up early . supposed to meet up with sk to travel to Ayatthuya at 10am but he had something on and had to postponed to 1pm . In the meanwhile we had breakfast along soi ari in one of those shophouses . Very nostalgic looking store as you can see from the photo below a
you can see we had phathai noodles again.

In short, how un-adventurous we are. After which we had coffee next to our hotel called Wawee coffee, nice little quint looking coffee house with wifi access about 30 baht for an hour access.

at about 12pm SK picked us up for lunch at this chicken rice store some where along the way too ayutthaya. Taste great almost like the chicken rice back in Singapore except the soup is more taster i think they add alot of chicken bones to bring out the stock.

After 1 1/2 hr in the pick up we arrived at one of the smaller pagoda , beside it is the elephant ride for tourist we decide to skip that one and head to the pagoda for a some photo shooting.

Later we head to the famous ruins of Wat Phra Sri Sanphet which is next to the then royal palace and temple for some photo taking. To avoid paying tourist price , SK took on the task of getting the ticket himself for us.

We have to stand away and pretend to be local. The plan worked we saved 10 baht haha. We also walked to the near by temple Wat Phra Ram but did not go in as its close to darkness. On the way back to the car, took some pictures at the pond.


Instead we drop by one of the famous Roti Sai Mai store. Consist of peanut candy floss with some sort of thin pancake rolled together and eaten.


For dinner we had seafood along the river still i have no idea where it was . But dinner was great and cost us only 3-400 baht each.

The night ended with a trip down to soi cowboy where we did some pub hopping. Me and ryan decided to split up with the gang checking out the salsa scene there but was quite dissappointed with club la rueda which only has a handful of people drinking and one couple dancing. We decided instead to pop by siam square for a walk along the street looking at the street peddler stuff and checking out hardrock cafe.
