Bangkok Trip Part 1 - Imm Fusion Sukhumvit

My recent 5 days 4 nights trip to Bangkok was all about shopping and food!

A friend recommended us to stay at Imm Fusion Hotel at Sukhumvit which is located 2 minutes away from On Nut Sky Train station. When we first saw the hotel, we were already amazed by its beautiful design. For the price of less than RM100 per night (per room), Imm Fusion seems like a pretty good deal.

Gotta love the high cathedral-like ceiling. Unlike other commercial looking hotel, it serves as a constant reminder that I am indeed having my vacation!

Transportation was never easier with the train station located just a stone’s throw away. Next to the station there was a Tesco where we got our water supply every day.

Camho in our hotel room ^.^

For those who have been to Bangkok, you would know where Platinum Mall is. A must-go wholesale shopping paradise where girls like us go crazy! The clothes there are so cheap and pretty we went there for 3 days throughout our trip! Wtfreak.

And thank goodness none of us like those temple and tourist site visiting bullshit. All of us agreed to just SHOP and EAT! There was this shop near Pratunam market where we had the yummiest lunch after a tiring shopping session.

In Bangkok, all food stalls tend to serve your drink in a full glass of ice which I hate. Drinks become diluted since I always take my sweet time.

The boys: Eugene, Hing Yee and Loo (lady boy).

Photobucket

The girls: Jess, me and Jol Wee.

Photobucket

Our all time favourite Tom Yum Seafood. Had it almost everyday! XD

Photobucket

Best omelet ever!

Photobucket

Chili paste squid was yummy!

Photobucket

Seafood fried rice which was ordinary but a great combination with Tom Yum soup.

Photobucket

If by now my post is making you hungry, then you should stop scrolling down cause I’m posting more food photos from Chinatown! Hiak hiak.

Photobucket

In Chinatown located at Yaowarat, you see numerous shops selling shark fin and bird nest.

Photobucket

We were told that seafood in Chinatown is cheap so together we squashed our 6 fatty bums into a taxi and headed there for dinner. T&K Seafood Restaurant somewhere at a corner.

Photobucket

Does the guy on the left resemble Jay Chou or is it just coincidence? LOL.

Photobucket

Every restaurants and food stalls I visited in Bangkok serves a variety of chilies although the food they serve already contain a sufficient amount of chili to begin with.

Photobucket

Waiting for our nom nom.

Photobucket

Thai style steam fish with lime was the best! So appetizing it kept us wanting for more!

Photobucket

Stir fried kangkong aka Morning Glory leaves finished within a few minutes.

Photobucket

Crabs there aren’t that cheap after all. They are charged according to size instead of kg. Small RM30 per crab; Medium RM35 per crab; Large RM40 per crab T.T

Garlic flavour.

Photobucket

Curry flavour.

Photobucket

The taste was so so.

Salad prawn.

Photobucket

Curry squid.

Photobucket

Clams (lala) with some sweet sauce. Yums! Love it! The girls hated the taste of the leaves thingy though.

Photobucket

Coconut drink was another must have in Thailand. Whether the coconut meat can be easily scooped, it depends a lot on your luck XD

Photobucket

Giant mirror for vain tourists like us. Teehee.

Photobucket

It was difficult to get a vacant taxi there so we took tuk-tuk instead. That was our only tuk-tuk ride because most of the drivers there would try to scam us at extremely rip-off fares. Metered taxis are definitely more worthwhile.

Photobucket

2 tuk-tuks, 50bahts (RM5) each to the nearest train station.

Photobucket

It was a fun and exciting experience though. Imagine having a reckless driver speeding you around the busy streets of Bangkok city with your hair frequently messed up by the wind! One thing for sure, traffic rules in Bangkok aren’t that strict compared to KL city.

Photobucket

Group photo to sum up the post. Oh wait, am I supposed to photoshop myself into that big gap? XD

Photobucket

Look out for more photos from our Bangkok trip soon! :)
