Feeling super refreshed, we woke up bright and early and started our sightseeing. Sign up a half day tour package to continue our ventured forth. Our first stop was Ayutthaya and Bang Pa-In Summer Palace.. Despite getting there shortly after it opened, the place was absolutely MOBBED by tourists, but the palace was so beautiful that the crowds and heat didn't sway us from staying a lot longer than anticipated. 

The whole palace is, in fact, worth a visit. It’s about two hours north of Bangkok and just 20 minutes south of Ayutthaya. It spreads out over a huge area that is filled mainly with grassy lawns and massive water features. Little canals run through most of the compound, connecting to the river alongside it.

Time to return to our hotel. Bought a super cute grape juice from the little store that located in Bang Pa.

We spent the rest of the afternoon/early evening just wandering around the hotel area until we got hungry, so we bought some street food as our lunch.

Day 5

Today it's our last day to stay Bangkok. Woke up early in the morning and walked to BTS just to head to the malls. As a crazy shopper, I wants to go back Platinum Mall to revenge back whatever I didn't manage to buy that day. GRRRR


After my very last minute shopping, finally we get to pop in to the airport haha.

No matter how many times I've been to this city, i'll always be captured by its beauty and culture. Putting aside those unethical drivers and occasional rude encounters with people, it's a city which has so much more to give & for me to explore. Be right back! XOXO

Another day, another market. This time we took a cab further outside the city to the Khlong Lat Mayom Floating Market. To be honest, I only spotted a couple of actual boat hawkers at this market, so it was less a real "floating market" and more like a regular land market surrounded by canals. the most interesting part was just seeing all the residential homes that lined the canals and people just going about their everyday business.

After getting back from the market, we spend the remainder of our afternoon relaxing at our hotel pool, and then chill out at the secret garden.

With a happy pool times over, we decide to hoped a taxi  and explore to the Khao San Road.

The famous Khao San Road has become a backpacker's paradise, with cheap and friendly guest houses / hostels, street food, cafes, bars and rowdy nightclubs. It's not the real Thailand, but it's pretty much unmissable in most people's eyes because it's just such a Famous day we want a as a backpacker / traveler is here; it's a great place to party and meet fellow travellers who are usually on their way south to the islands.

▲ There are some great bars and clubs actually on Khao San Road but here are 4 more quality live music venues and clubs nearby.

▲ I know I said tickle your palate, but eating fried multi-legged creatures is not my thing at all.

To commemorate this memorable trip, I suggested Kelvin to get a tattoo before we go back to Malaysia and surprisingly he'd said "Yes" to me. We had to admit we're just too sudden to get a tattoo on us but it's really meaningful to us.

▲ Painful face* All I did is just non-stop laughing

To distract his attention so he kept on playing phone.
