Yes! That's right.. Bangkok known as the City of Heaven for ladayyyyyyyyssss.. It's already my 3rd trip there for the last 6 years, but most of the shopaholic might even go there every month. Psst.. some tips for your trip there "don't go there if you're planning on a budget trip" 'cause you'll end up getting dissatisfaction disease but fret not Bangkok's food is superb.
Here are some tips and toes if you were to travel there..
This was the first time I travel by myself without family.
I highly recommend LemonTea Hotel which located in Pratunam Bangkok City with 2 min walking distance to Pratunam market. This hotel was newly built in 2012, their facilities are very simple, it's suitable for those who are going for budget trip/spend more shopping & spend less on hotel..

Their lobby are very clean and gives you a comfortable environment~
Woohooo!! 3 hours from touchdown from airport I already craving for shopping spree..
Every-time I came to Bangkok or any where in Thailand, it's a MUST to buy their street fruits and juice which is cold press at their stall itself without adding coloring or sweet syrups. Almost every stall sold fresh Pomegranate, Orange and Lime juice.
PS: you need to be aware, not all stalls are genuine. Those that added coloring or syrup look nothing like this. Their color will look slightly milky
PS: I recommend Pomegrante juice which only cost (40baht) in thailand but RM14++ in Malaysia.
It's as usual, first day touch down from airport, we've been walking around and we were craving for seafood's. Yes! Thailand is famous with their seafood's for the freshness and juiciness. OMG! look at how tender the fish looks. This stall was located between Central World Mall & Platinum mall in Pratunam, lining by the road side. You will see a lot of stalls there, but don't get tricked by the massive people waiting at all stalls. Every stall are own by different owner and different taste. *Seriously different taste.*
2 years ago when I first went Bangkok City with my boyfriend, *not much research, our bad* we also went to the same place to have seafood for dinner. We reach there around 7 or 8 pm (Bangkok time) and all stalls were full, we were so hungry hence decided to try out the first stall from Central World Mall. They were all famous with their Grilled Salted Tilapia fish. It too look tender and juicy but the fish wasn't as fresh as it look so it taste awful.
This time we try out the last stall from Central World Mall as recommended from my friend who came to Bangkok every year. Both of us shared the Grilled Salted Tilapia fish serves with fiery & tangy sauce and some other side dish. I was surprise with the sweet & tender taste from the meat of the fish. The fish was rubbed around salt and wheat flour around the skin but it doesn't taste salty at all.
Chatuchak Market
Opening hour 6-6pm
Travel by BTS to Mo Chit Station (walking distance 10 min to the entrance)
If you are wondering where to find local delight, don't worry to be hungry they have foods everywhere.
The second day we spent the whole day shopping in Chatuchak market and that is where the shopping comes.
Speaking of which, this place is huge. #betyou'll go crazy . The food here is super nice and delicious too.
Check out this the #musteat food in Bangkok. Almost all found in Chatuchak.
PS: Don't forget to negotiate before you buy soemthing, even if you really #LOVE the item. If don't want to nego, then just walk away and find another store; you might find same item at different stall, they will call you back if they want to do business with you. *#cooltips*
The famous Coconut Ice-Cream (40baht) with 3 toppings to choose
The Famous Mango Sticky Rice (59baht)
*looks kind of expensive for the look but man it's sweet* (^o^)
BBQ seafood (40baht) depends on what you choose
I chose their squid serves with their sweet sour and spicy sauce
As expected, it's tender, juicy and OMG! spicy.

| We sang along while waiting for my passport holder, He's so cool |
Passport Holder (100baht) free name and free 1 logo
Yeah!! here comes the passport holder. It started to get more and more popular these days, notice some of my friends actually bought a bunch back just as souvenirs.
Be aware! every stall have different prices or way of doing business. This place might be the cheapest I found in Chatuchak.
PS:You might find some places selling (100baht) free name (20baht) per logo
PS: not forget to mention, the weather here is hot!!!
First time trying this, it's famous in Thailand. They have it everywhere, it's easy to find.
Thai Milk Tea, though it's sweet but i think it taste better then our Milk tea in Malaysia. You can smell the Aroma of the tea while drinking it.
Famous MAMA mee selling everywhere around. They sell it dry/soup. (40baht)
If you are a budget traveller, travelling around Bangkok by BTS is very much convenient to you. They have BTS station almost everywhere around the Area in the City.
You may search for more info in the below website (english website) for price range / route / etc..
Whoopsss!! Bought too much.. yaikkksss.
I still have few days to go..
*Dinner Time*
Duck Mushroom Doouble Boil Soup (40baht)
This is a place where I highly recommended. It may look simple, not fancy, too little for a guy to fill his stomach but HEY!!! CHICKEN RICE BECAME MY FAVOURITE FOOD #ONLYINBANGKOK.
Yeah! Chicken Rice. People will say, Malaysia are also famous with chicken rice as local delight and a command food here. Chicken rice taste the same..
My answer to you people.. It's a whole new level. Their chicken rice serves with chicken soup which was cooked hours with chicken bone and thai Chili sauce mix with garlic, ginger and chilli. The rice are fragrant while the chicken are tender, soft and less fats since it is "Kampung Chicken"
There are located at pratunam, directly opposite The Berkely Hotel
If you are wondering which stall you should visit! Look for Pink polo T-shirt.
There have 2 different stalls, Pink and Green. Their staff there are most friendly and they always keep a smile on their face though they look tired. This place is always full, but it's worth waiting for a shortwhile 'cause they serve fast.
Teeeehehehe!! Part 1 ends here.. Stay tune for part 2 and more..
So excited to part 2.. I started to miss Bangkok already.
