Day1 in Bangkok @ Thailand

I booked flight tickets + hotel to Bangkok but Bangkok was hit with a really bad flood that Air Asia cancelled the flight. I never managed to reschedule until now, that was 5 years ago...

Can't believe it, I'm here.

Got a local sim card for 290bht (comes with free 100bht call time + 1.5gb of internet for 7 days). We used the local number as a portable hotspot for our phones. Trust me it's a must to get a local card. You'll be needing to call the taxi that you've arranged because almost 3/4 of the time they cannot find where you are.

Got a Grab Car from the airport to our hotel which cost about 401bht. 

First toll 70bht

2nd toll 50bht

Meter fare 241bht

Service Fee 40bht

Grab Car over here has a service fee fee of 40bht so Uber is the cheaper choice.

We booked Glow Trinity Silom together with our flight ticket through AirAsiaGo we got a really good price. 

Welcome drink upon arrival.

I planned to visit True Love Cafe as soon as we checked in. Problem is the cafe has specific playing time, on a Wednesday it's at 12.30pm / 3.30pm only. I thought we would have sufficient time to rest at the hotel and make it for 3.30pm. By the time we arrive at the hotel it was almost 3.15pm, I sent a FB msg to the cafe to ask if I still could come since it would take me about 20-30mins to arrive. The cafe was amazing, they replied within 5mins that I can come at 4pm.

Got an Uber to the cafe for 127bht.

OTW.

Register first.

They are having promotion for May.

Entry Ticket.

Which to catch???

I don't like the ugly plastic shoe that they make us wear. So bad for the environment. It's thrown away after each wear.

Shiba Inu.

Teddy hug for the teddy.

Too big to catch.

Having a conversation.

Take your pick.

Squishy.

Rawr Rawr Rawr!!!

I'm so tired of all the tourists, go away...

He came and sat on me. Heavy...

This little one will bark at you but when you try to touch him he run like a pussy.

Viewing time is over, back in the cafe for drinks + dessert.

Iced Mocha ~ Normal.

Iced Chocolate ~ Okay.

Choice of ice cream cake or normal cake.

Chocolate Cake ~ Okay.

Green Tea Ice Cream cake ~ Nice.

Saw this 2 cutie pies but the worker was mean, he locked the gate and don't allow me to pass. Not that gate in the picture, before this gate there is another gate.

Took an Uber to Union Mall for 110bht. Got to love Uber here, it's cheaper than Tuk Tuk + Grab Car.

Didn't buy anything here cause it's expensive.

Very sweet + friendly girl.

Decided to take the train back to the hotel.

From Union Mall to Silom Station cost 42bht/person.

Patpong Night Bazaar.

Loads of stuff but no food.

Bangkok is always jam, traffic lights are horrible and there are so many of them.

It's opposite of Pat Pong market, I can't remember which side though.

Tom Yum noodles (60bht) ~ Okay only la.

Walk a little further down the Tom Yum soup and found this.

The stall is in front of Tonkotsu Kazan Ramen restaurant, Silom. 

Bacon (100bht) ~ Quite pricey actually but it's not bad though it's not hot.

Stopped by a mixed rice shop in front of Pink Panther.

Tiny spoon of cauliflower + one egg (50bht) ~ BLOODY EXPENSIVE!

Opposite of Pat Pong.

After food we took a stroll.

Bars at Soi 4.

650bht for each drink (Beer / Vodka / on the Happy Price Menu) @ Balcony, Silom Soi 4.

We finished one round of drinks then head back to hotel to sleep as we had an early tour tomorrow. Stay tune for Bangkok Day 2.
