Bangkok : Back & Broke (Day Two)

Day Two saw us having breakfast at 7 am as we have to make a move to the Damneon Saduak Floating Market. The original and only floating market left in Bangkok is an hour and a half journey, which explains the early schedule. Plus, the most suitable time to be at the market is from 8-10 am -- standard pasar time!

There were two entrances to Damneon Saduak Floating Market which were by road or by the canal. But we didn't know that as we were brought to the boat station upon arriving there.

Minus the er,smelly water, we had fun seeing the houses along the canal. Saw kids waving back at us, a temple, houses turned into mini markets, houses with boats lining in their 'porch' and canal junctions. It took us around 15 minutes to reach the Floating Market.

At the first sight of the Floating Market, I expected it to be very happening. Turns out since we came from the other entrance, we were yet to see the boats and all. What welcomed us was a couple with a big snake, where Mila was extremely excited to have the scaly animal around her -_-"

Sue & Sharaf did the same too. I was more concerned of my lilitan selendang than the lilitan ular HAHA NOT FUNNY. We walked and past some souvenir stalls till we reach the heart of the market.

One thing you MUST try is their sticky rice with mango -- sometimes with added coconut milk. It's around 20-10 baht, depending on the mango used or you are so cheapskate you wanna bargain everything kind of people -_-"

Some called it the Pulut Pauh. I'm no fan of puluts but it was nice having a taste of it -- speshly the mangoes were sweet enough to compliment the sticky rice.

We then made our way to Mak Yah Muslim Restaurant to have our lunch. Surprisingly we have yet to taste the best Tom Yam despite the recipe came from Thailand, but we ate heartily licin pinggan mangkuk bagai.

After lunch we then went for a tour visit to Vimarnmek Mansion -- the world's largest teak mansion it claimed to be. Since we were not allowed to take pictures (it was a private tour) so I'm sharing this image taken from Google -- just so how you know how it looks like.

It has 81 rooms and has become Thailand's first handcraft museum too as it stores the Queen's handicrafts masterpieces such as Thai Silks, the Golden first aid kit and neillowares just to name a few.

This was outside the area. Dasar narsis!

Next was a visit to the Gem Gallery, the biggest jewel store (er not sure in the world, but yeah, it's huge) -- but if you are not a gem/jewelery person like yours truly, you might find this visit quite unnecessary okay ayat sangat tak bersyukur dapat holiday free -_-"

Cheh tak minat konon,tapi membeli juga -_-"

The next stop was to MBK Mall!
This is where everyone kenot tahan already! Be it the guys and the ladies, semua gembira jumpa shopping mall! Takbleh tahan dah! Murah je beli, beli je murah!

I managed to tahan juga, sebab dah termakan kata-kata tour guide that Chatuchak has more varieties & cheaper stuffs. Terbabas sikit sikit je, ampun.

KFC Sundaes!

Happy exhausted mall-goers!

If not for the curfew time given by our tour guide while at MBK, we would have forgotten to have our dinner. So for the last night of dinner being prepared for us, we head over to Al-Hilal Muslim Restaurant.

And that was pretty much of our Day Two. We went back to the hotel, crashed Nanim's room, goofed around while planning for the Free & Easy Day Three.

Those who asked me to post on what I bought, er, weh I beli barang biasa biasa jeeeee *muka cuak* NO NEED LA OUTFIT POST GAMBAR PURCHASE APE BAGAI EH EH?
