i was in bangkok from 15th march to 20th march... bought nothing much but some really CHEAP clothes (after bargain lah) haha...
15th March...
at the moment we (me, my aunt, my cousin CChin and her boyfriend James) reached the Thailand airport, Suvanburmi Airport, we went outside and looked for taxi to our hotel, D.C. Palace...
what my cousin's wife's brother (- -") told us is that, the taxi fare from airport to our hotel will cost us approximately 200THB (THAI BAHT)... but that taxi driver asked for 350THB... we were okay with it... when we arrived the hotel, chai en = that guy = my cousin's wife's brother :P came to meet us... we gave that driver 1000Baht and unfortunetely (fortunetely :P) he didn't have enough small changes so he asked chai en for small changes... chai en returned us the 1000Baht and asked him how much is the taxi fare... he said '350Baht' and chai en immediately asked him 'how come so expensive' and asked him to be more FAIR... so that fella ended up became so so so frustrated that he didnt even want the 200Baht we tried to pay him... hehe... anyway James pity him so he chased him and trying to pay him 200Baht (he ended up throwing the money on his car seat as that fella refused to accept his money [strange enough -- "] frustratingly)... after that we went to our room, shower and prepared for the dinner...
chai en brought us to his house first to pick his wife and his 2 children and 2 maids (so many ppl - -") before drove us to the so-called 'seaside thai restaurant' (it's actually river-side :P)... he ordered so many food... LOCAL THAI FOOD... got thai fried rice (really NICE)... then somtam with RAW CRAB (the crab is like so... BLEK~ - -")... twin sauce fried fish (sweet and sour & spicy)... pucuk veges (pucuk paku, pucuk manis, begage etc... all those RAW veges with HEAVY tastes)... what else? haha forget d loh haha... basically those local thai food still okay lah... but honestly i dont think i want to try that again haha...
when back to hotel after some shoppings around bangkok, i went to the hotel lobby and i found out that i can online for free (YAY~)... so... mah ONLINE loh hehe... found that the cpu there got cd writer... so i went out to look for 7-11 or some departmenture stores for one or two CD-R... walked walked walked for 30 minutes... then found one petronas (petrol station) inside got... i bought 2 for 10Baht each... then went back and that fella told me cannot use - -" celaka (damn it) i thought can burn the thai songs i found in their pc... :( so many of them approximately 600MB++... haix... so disappointed and went back to sleep loh...
16th March...
went to The World's Largest Crocodile Farm at Samutprakan... 300Baht per pax for entrance... went in and watched the 'crocodile wrestling'... 2 fellas kept on catching crocodiles onto the stage from the pond surrounding... kinda funny that most of the crocodiles refuse to stay on the stage and kept going back to the pond... haha... pity that 2 fellas... mmm... the show is kinda DANGEROUS because that guy kept on 'inserting' his hand into the crocodiles' mouth... his head somemore... - -" so OMG i brought my little nephew, Amos, who found this SCARY and went down... haha... i also beh-tahan (cant stand) that err... looks like the crocodile may shut their mouths anytime and BITE that fella's hand or even HEAD - -" yerrr...
after the show brought Amos over to the MONKEY stage to seh-hen (share-hand?) with the monkey... hehe... so cute :P so small also haha... then... went to the restaurant beside and ordered a CROCODILE BURGER for myself... felt strange mah haha... it taste like minced chicken and pork with pepper... thats it... nothing strange... haha...
then... went to pattaya... stayed at a hotel beside the jontien beach... *the pattaya beach and jontien beach are connected...* went over to a high-class restarant for dinner... spent 2000Baht... *try to think about it, 2000Baht for 8 adults and 2 kids... still okay lah... hehe... after that straight went back loh...

after that we went walk walk and look for some restaurant or something... we found and we makan (eat in malay... not thai :P 'eat' in thai is 'khin'~) loh... then one of the computer beside still got credit of around 20Baht (40 minutes)... so james online first while i eat... after i done i go online... but in less than a minute's time i decided to log out and refund the money :P i got 25Baht in return... dont know why haha... after that use the money to buy a box of sticky rice (its actually glutitious rice) with mango and santan (coconut milk) for 80Baht...
what else to say? oh! when we reached lcct (low cost carrier terminal for airasia flights), we tried to take a taxi but unfortunately (THIS TIME REALLY UNFORTUNETELY!) we have 2 HUGE luggage so cant fit in the taxi cabinet (i forgot how to call that d haha)... the taxi fella tried to persue us to take the second class taxi which is bigger... [RM90+- for third class econ taxi (those we normally take during outside one) and RM 130+- for one second class taxi] we refused so i ended up taking bus from lcct to kl sentral [RM9 per trip] while they took taxi... then i took ktm from kl sentral to kepong sentral and waited for my cousin who took taxi just now :P to come and pick me up and makan loh... haha...
while makan my aunt said 'finally can eat something NORMAL' HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA it was so damn funny to hear her saying such a funny statement :P hehe...
mmm...

GREAT trip report Tony-- I love Bangkok for shopping too, it's the best quality for the money anywhere.
Sounds like the trip was a lot of fun.

you haven't discover bangkok night life... you will definately love that haha
I recommend Wat Pho to those planing to visit Bangkok. This temple is famous for the Reclining Buddha statue. I heard that it is the largest Temple in Bangkok. What you shouldn't miss is to have a really good traditional Thai massage there. Do show respect for the monks when visiting Wat in Thailand.
