Bangkok, Thailand

Bangkok, my dining, shopping and massage paradise!! I went to Bangkok almost once a year. There are so much things i can do in Bangkok.

The Baiyoke Sky Hotel - Thailand's tallest hotel, rising 88 storeys above the Bangkok skyline, strategically located in the heart of downtown. What i wanted to intro is not the hotel facilities, but is the International Buffet and Seafood in Bangkok Sky Restaurant on 76th & 78th floors.

Before dinner, we enjoyed the paranomic view of Bangkok from the Revolving View Point on 84th floor, follwowed by sumptuous dinner at the Sky restaurant. They served river prawns, rock lobsters, scallops, crabs, cooked in various styles, grilled salad, Tempura or teppanyaki Seafood etc. What i like most is the big prawn and fresh salmon.

After the heavy dinner, we proceed to The Roof Top Bar & Music on 83rd floor for our cocktail. The outlet set amidst the beauty of city lights and the magnificent view of sparkling stars and Bangkok sky at night.

Its romantic ambience allowed those who plan to do his marry proposal. I'm sure she will says " Yes! I do".

If you wish to taste the local signature dish or dessert, then must try the manggo rice. You can find this everywhere. If you have local friend, they will bring you to those authentic Thai local restaurants for sumptuos seafood and dessert. So far, i have tried fresh oyster (served in Thai sytle), curry powder crabs, shark fins soup, grilled prawn, birdnest served in coconut etc.

Go for Bangkok river cruise in the evening! The 2 hrs cruise passed through the beautiful night scenery on both sides of Chao Phraya river while having served with welcome drink cocktail. We dined under candle light with live music band in a romantic atmosphere while enjoyed the international buffet elegantly.

If you are hungry at night, don't worry, this restaurant is opened only for supper. They served delicious congees buffet in a cosy environment. They have more than 100 varieties for you to choose from.

There are many shopping malls in Bangkok. When it comes to luxury goods, Siam Paragon is a 'heaven' where you can find most of the boutiques and flagship stores of the world's top-notch designer names.

Shopping in Bangkok is a day-and-night activity. To practise your bargan power, go to Chatuchak Weekend Market, pratunam market, China town or patpong. Alternately, go to MBK, World Trade, Siam Paragon, The Emporium etc.

If there is one must-see sight that no visit to Bangkok would be complete without, it's the dazzling, spectacular Grand Palace, undoubtedly the city's most famous landmark. Visitors must be properly dressed before being allowed entry to the temple.

My mum complainted that i'm not a good tour guide because i didn't explain the history and the story of the building. Sorry, mum, coz i'm poor in my history subject in high school!

This is the hotel i used to stay when i visit Bangkok. This is because there is a good Thai massage center right opposite the hotel. After the oil massage, i can enjoy a delicious congee buffet at the ground floor for supper.

Bangkok is also famous for its massive traffic jam. At one time, we took a taxi from MBK to Suan Lum Night Bazaar nearby, its took about 1 hr to reach. The traffic is not moving at all. Guess what? When we arrived at the market, the taxi meter shown 70bht, so cheap! The taxi driver even apologized for the jam!!

Bangkok Safari World where we can see see zebra, deer, giraffe, birds, tigers, lion and bears roaming in a natural habitat. where else, in the marine park, we find marine life and many other rare aquatic creatures.
Good bye Bangkok. I will come back again!
