Buffet Lunch At Lebua

As mentioned earlier, the hotel package comes with a buffet lunch. All the while, the plan was to have it on the same day before returning to singapore...


The funny thing was when we got to the restaurant, which is also the same place as where we had our breakfast, there is basically no one. We are the first or maybe the second to arrive... and it was a little intimidating to see everyone looking at us having our lunch
The environment of the place really builds the place up...



Lebua - A Luxury Hotel



Lebua Hotel

A must try for anyone that goes to Bangkok. Since this trip is for baby's birthday, i check ourselves into this hotel. Acutally i came across this hotel some time ago when i receive some pics from friends stating the highest bar in Asia. So being an ID, i thought baby would appreciate the deco at this location.

The trip was actually planned with staying at this hotel and at night, we would go up to the 64th floor for dinner. But due to the time contraint that we had, we didn't really got the chance to do it. In the end, we had to just settle with going up to the hotel and maybe have a drink there.


When we got up to the 64th floor, the first thing we notice is the place is packed. It completed pack and you can't really enjoy the ambience of the place. One bad point is that you are not allowed to take photo at the Sirocco Restaurant / Sky Bar. They even have security there to ensure this is strictly followed. But i managed to take one in the day time when the place is still not open yet as you can see on the top left.

We did get a very good package for this hotel which i dont they have it anymore. The room comes breakfast as well as buffet lunch. And trust me, you will be surprised at lunch.

On top of that, we were also welcome in our room with some fruits and chocolates. And there are also BVLGARI toileteries supplied in the toilet for our pre-usal. All in all, this hotel is great and we truly enjoyed our stay here.

Suan Lum Nigh Bazaar ( Also know as Lumpini Night Market )



Actually i prefer the name Lumpini Night Market rather than Suan Lum Night Bazaar...kekekeke...guess cos that was how i was introduced to it.

Its basically selling similar stuff to Chatuchak Weekend Market but i think its a little more pricier here..saw a lot of deco lights that i really like but no where to put in my room anymore. A definite place to come for those that are preparing to move into a new house or place... you can get everything much more cheaper here as compared to singapore.

Bossotel Hotel






Book this hotel from the internet. It look quite good from the pictures.

Even from the pictures that i taken, i would also agree that it was nice.

Think was paying abt RM90 for a room here plus breakfast. This hotel is located at an alley way on the way to Shangrilla Hotel...

It was also located quite near to one of the sky train station that will be our main mode of transport around bangkok since i really can be bothered haggling with the taxi drivers or tuk tuk.

But the room was not really what i had expected. Its totally different from the pic in the internet. Maybe cos its was a better grade room which i was not willing to pay for. But at least was much better than the white Orchid which we stayed in last time we were here...


Bangkok


Arrive in Bangkok in the new airport. Was really big. The reception was not really much like the bangkok that we normally know. I seem to have the impression that we are in a shopping centre basement. Everything was really grey in colour. The lights was also not sufficient.... no....they have a lot of lights ....just that the light bulbs was not really bright....making the whole place looks gloomy. We tried taking some pics but didnt really come out well....even the on the left here is adjusted...

Since this is our first time here, didn't really know where everything is and had a tough time asking where the airport express bus is.

I think they should have better signage on the place to tell foreign tourist where everything is located...and by the way....what happen to the tourisn of thailand counter????

Finally found the place where we should take the airport bus....Ground Floor... each person cost abt B150and guess what...i forgotten to get my change back....only realise that when i got to the hotel and it was already too late. So in the end, paid B500 for two person....AND u know what... taking a taxi cost only B400.....arghhhhh.... ( only found out abt that on the way back )....serves me right for being trying to be thrifty.....well, too bad.....off to the hotel...

The beginning of the journey



We started the journey from Singapore's Budget terminal. As the name implies, it is really empty. Luckily we came here prior to our departure and was prepared with our lunch... Was quite surprised to find 7-11 in the airport. Bought some drinks and tit bits to bring up the plane since snacks are not provided in the tiger airways unless u willing to pay for exhorbent prices for them.

The areas after the immigration was not bad but think that they should use more colors like the boarding gate to make the place more lively.
