Well morning, ryans stomaches was bad and he had to stay in bed to rest. The few of us chris myself and KH heads down to the chatuchak weekend market about 2 station from our hotel. There are tons of shops to look at but a reminder is to go early like 9 am to avoid the crowd and the heat from the zinc roof. Got some t-shirts and tibits before having breakfast at one of the shops.
With 15,000 shops, from clothing , hardware, furniture, yes and even pets too.. its just too large for us to cover. by 11am throngs of tourist started to pack up the place.. thats the cue for us to head back hotel .
Went down town to have lunch at mcdonalds at centralworld . Theres an new taste in town it was a double big mac. Och it is 4 paties instead of 2 !
KH was looking for naraya shop to get some stuff for his friend. But it has moved to somewhere else. Found it at last about afew station away. Leonard drop by after repairing his notebook.
Later in the evening we head out to chinatown for dinner , since this is our last dinner.
We decide to have it big.. more then 10 dishes! Not to mention the seafood! Nam Sing Restaurant was where i went 7 years ago and its still there.. We had fresh oysters, sharksfin soup,mixed vegetable, grilled fresh water prawns , roast pig, crab fried rice, BBQ spare rib, crabs etc. We spent about 700 baht each on food.. But really worth it :P
After dinner we decided to go for a chillout session at 2 of the highest lounge / pub around in bangkok. The first one is Dome/ sirocco.Siting on top of the state tower about 64 stories up. The view was stunning and was quite posh the bar counter gives the illusion that its floating as it was positioned right out on the edge of the building.
And finally the vertigo, at banyan tree hotel about 59 stories up, slightly narrower then dome. But still it offers another view of the city. But with a charge of 500 baht to enter. But worth every cent. Where can you find such open air pub 59 stories up in singapore?
Next morning, We had our breakfast around the area, something light like porriage. Interestingly we notice everyone is decked out in yellow polo-ts. We learnt that every monday was the royal day to remember the king thus all are dressed up in yellow.
Later in the afternoon, we checked out of our hotel and headed back home some with discomfort from the raw oyster eaten.. but not for me :P
