05102009 5th Day in Ayutthaya (off Bangkok)

Ayutthaya, is a another provience off Bangkok. Is the old city being fired and hidden in the forest for many years. The city is founded in year 1350 by King U-Thong. The ruins of the old city now form the Ayutthaya historical park, which is recognized internationally as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

First, we went to visit the Bang Pa In Palace. Is the summer palace for the king. The place being managed very well, everything is just so beautiful.

Second, we went to this historical ruins WatYaiChaiMongKhol & Wat Phrasisanpethi, you can see everywhere has being destroyed by fire and all the head of the Buddha is being cut off for selling that time.

After visit to all the beautiful place, we departed and bring transfer to a river cruise for lunch and back to Bangkok. thru Chao Phraya River. The food is nice and the view along the river is nice. We are sitting in the open deck, it is windy and nice.

About 3+pm, we reach Bangkok. Transfer back to hotel, and we take the BTS going to Platinum Mall and shop again........ crazy sister and all.....Next, we went to Central World, have dinner, and take train back to hotel.

Thats all for today, again, my leg is not my leg anymore... can hardly feel it.. ha ha! walk too much!

This is the last day of the trip, tomorrow going back to KL lo. All in all, the weather is too good to be true, and Thailand is so clean, and plp is so nice to us. I will definately go back again.

Tomorrow, I will want to go and visit a temple near my hotel, I pass by it by van and it look nice...

04102009 4th Day in Kanchanaburi (Off Bangkok)

Kanchanaburi, is a state off Bangkok. This place are famous due the the World War II, alot of war prisoner is killed of building the famous River Kwae Railway... Many story behind it.

The first place we visit today is the cemetry. I must said, Thailand is doing it well. The place are managed perfectly, and the most respect feeling you can ever imagine. They are thankful toward what they have did for them...

The next stop, is the War Museum. They are showing all newspaper, things that they found from the war time, drawing, etc. We go thru it, and feel really sad about it... why WAR???? but we will never get the answer.

Next, we reach to the famous River Kwae Railway or Bridge of River Kwae. Alot of plp say this is River Kwai, but the guide told us: Kwae = River, Kwai = Cow.... The railway are builded for the easier travel from Burma to Thailand at the WW II. Heard that more than 10K plp died because of this. Later on, the American boomed the place, and give freedom to all the war prisoner at that time. You can see from the photo, the bridge originally round in shape, only the middle part is square, which that is the part being boomed, and rebuilded later. Now they use this railway for local transport and for tourist visit.

We have the chance to take a train ride in this famous river kwae. The train is the old type, no air-con, wooden in some part. The train passby some padi fields, corn fields, etc, The view is fantastic, The highlight of the train ride is passing by the wodden bridge, look dangerous, but it safe.

OK, enough of war story right?

The second part of today, we went to visit the famous Tiger Temple. Which all tiger being rared by the monk. all tiger being bring to the Tiger Valley for tourist to take photo. I really amazed how they can do it. Before this trip, I have search online, they are story about the monk drug the tigers, so that the tiger is blur and do not attack, and they suggest us not to visit. But I insisted. After I pay the visit, I dont have such a feeling. The tiger is really active, and they are playing with the monk. The monk told us, they are not tiger, but BIG CAT.... You can see from the photo, they really play and communicated with them like a pets. It is amazing!

The weather today are not too bad, although have some rain when we finish the train ride, lunch and the tiger temple visit, but soon after awhile when we reach the tiger valley, the rain stop. I must say Im really lucky .....

At night, we walk toward Suan Lum night market, I must say the food there is "SUCK" and expensive, never try and eat there. But other than this, everything is good, stuff is cheap too, by condition: bargain......

03102009 3rd Day Shopping In Bangkok

Today, is our planned shopping day, just that we cant imagine that we have actually go until max 13 hrs. Sunny and bright day!

At first, we went to the famous Erawan Shrine for pray pray, then go straight to Chatukchat Market. Oh my god! the market are so huge, we saw the roof top of the market when we are on BTS, it is HUGE! right after we get off the sky train, we went to the tourist center, took the map, and went straight in. We shop and shop and shop and eat all the way. We spend a few hours there, and decide to move on to next destination, cos of the sun and the clowd too.

The next stop is Siam Paragon. We just chill out there, have the Pork Burger from MC'D, and shop for CDs there. The CD price here are abit lower compare to KL, we bought some.

Next, we went to the famous MBK, when we reach there, we saw some concert and fashion show. Then due to all our legs are in pain.. ha ha... we went for a foot massage, and continue our shopping war. Shop til drop! ha ha!

At last, our 13 hrs shopping war are done and closing with a fast bite at TYOKU market. You can see our "result" of 13 hrs war at the bottom pictures...

Tired Tired! ha ha.. but it really fun.... the most suprise that we have is
~~~~~ My father can acompany us walk and shopping for 13 hrs ~~~~~
This really suprise me! ok ok.. that the end of the story for today...

Tomorrow we will go to River Kwai and the famous Tiger Temple.. Let's pray for good weather! yeah!

Today is the 2nd day in Bangkok, our plan is going to the famous Damnern Saduak Floating Market, and half day city & temples tour.

Wake up at 6+am, breakfast, and departed our journey to the market. The journey takes about 1+hours. After we arrive, we took the long tail speedboat went into the center of the market. The long tail speedboat that James Bond using? remember? hei hei.... after that, we being transfer to the small boat, which cost us additional of 150BHT each, just wanna experience what the local plp do for their living, didnt buy anything except foods and drinks.

The stuff here are over price, except that you can ask for discount, at least 50-70 percent. But is a good experience.

After some walk, our next stop is the wood carving center. The plp there is amazing, the carving are so lifely... you just cant imagine how they do it, but they did. Amazing.....

After sometime, we travel back to Bangkok, have lunch and started our temples journey in Bangkok. First is the Wat Trimit, The Golden Buddha. Huge tall Golden Buddha standing in the middle of the temple, the temple not big though...

Next, is the famous sleeping buddha temle named: Wat Pho - The Reclining Temple. huge buddda sleeping in the center surround by great painting. Besides the buddha, Im suprise to see alot of chinese statue around this temple, then I asked the guide, then he told us, before this place being converted into temples, is a residence area for a chinese which he do transport service, thats explains it.

This is the last stop for today, we being transfered back to Hotel, and then have some rest, then went for our Seafood dinner in Samboon Seafood Restaurant that being introduce by Toh, the food are not too expensive, and taste ok. You can try when you are here. After dinner, we walk around Silom Rd & Surawong Rd. They are just too much of girls and boys asking us to go to see their "free show", this is my sister first Thailand trip, she amazed how plp live here.... a experience in life.

That it for today.... Tomorrow is the shopping day, hope that the weather is good too....
