Bangkok Trip with my love ♥ Day 2

Goood morning ka~ It was only 5am in the morning and we already woke up to prepare for Damnoen Saduak Floating Market trip. On the previous day, we asked our hotel worker to book a taxi for us and we managed to negotiate the price to 1500baht round trip.

We departed at 6am and it took 1.5hours to reach. The taxi driver brought us to a pier called Coke Pier, instead of drop us at the market entrance itself. We knew that was a tourist scam! We refused to ride on their motorboat for 1000baht/pax and insisted to walked to the market by foot,  since the driver didnt want to bring us there. 

Along the way I asked direction from the locals and reached to a junction after 1-2km. Luckily we saw motorbike taxi so we took it into the market for 20baht/pax for another 1-2km.

You can refer my hand drawn map illustration here haha. Roughly like this. But girls please dont walk without guy accompanied.

This is how we left the coke pier and walked to the
floating market by ourselves.

We finally reach the real floating market entrance!

We can see lots of paddle boats along the riverside. So we asked for the price and hop onto one for only 100baht/pax for half hour. I highly recommend you all to just ride for 30mins if you reach here early like us because the river traffic was smooth and we can eat anything we wanted on the boat. The time was more than enough.

Row the boat! Gogogo xD

Coconut icecream & Mango sticky rice.
Must eat in Thai!!

Souvenirs. Get them for better price, at other places....

'Farang' the westerners also came here early.

My boy eating kuey tiaw soup

30mins was over and we got down from the boat.
The paddler automatically asked tips from us.
Typical Thai tourism culture lol xD

After enjoyed the morning boat ride, we took motorbike back to the pier where our taxi driver was waiting for us. He was unhappy. Why? Because we made him lost his commission from the tourist scam :X It's up to you if you think you want to take the boat from pier, I just provide our way on how we can save 80% of the expenses. My money is for shopping & food, not for riding a motorboat... >< Anyway we reached our hotel safely and rest.

BTS route map.

In the afternoon we took the BTS from Ratchathewi station to Mo Chit station. It was easy except our hotel is really quite far from BTS. The Chatuchak Market is just right below the station. It was already so crowded!

The view of Chatuchak entrance when we got down from BTS.
It was already crowded! So excited XDDD

Chatuchak is a very HUGE market! It sells everything from food, clothing, souvenirs to pet accessories. We didnt have a map so we just simply walked around. If you fancy something then just buy it straight because I missed NB shoes as I thought I could find it back later T.T

First try the thai iced tea icecream ♥

Skewers everywhere. I just find its price board cute ^^

We stopped at a random stall to fill our hungry stomach and rest our tired legs. I think we were lucky because their foods were delicious! Or maybe any random food stalls also serves tasty food. Hehe ^^

Pork noodles.. yummy!

I really love Pad Thai ♥♥♥

The place was packed with people and everything. The weather was so hot the sun was burning my skin. Remember to wear comfortable clothes and slippers to here, and for girls please bring a big reusable bag to put all your gains teehee. Along the way we ate some tempting street food too.

Bf keep talking about grilled squids before we came.
Here we found it :)

We bought grilled pork and sticky rice. It was delicious!

Our Chatuchak haul!
I havent buy enough! Huhu

We shopped at Chatuchak for 4hours and our legs got so tired! Especially my dear bf :( Very kesian him when I think of it. Sorry ahbeng ♥♥ He was exhausted until didnt talk all the way back. Huhu..

Actually we planned to watch Siam Niramit Show that night. But we have to cancelled it since both of us already too tired. The show is quite recommended by travellers. You can buy the ticket online at hotels2thailand.com which is cheaper than other sources.

That night we went nearby our hotel to have dinner. We found this chicken rice stall and surprisingly it was good.

Chicken breast meat is soft and tender!

Decided to try it since they are sold everywhere.
Light taste of pomegranate. Its rich with vits.

Grabbed some snacks at 7-11.
Some special flavours only available in Thai ♡

We were going to Chao Phraya River boat ride on next day (Day3). Good night my love... Good night world..
