Day 2 of Bangkok Trip

We stayed on the 17th floor on Renaissance Ratchaprasong Bangkok.   Have request for a twin bed as we have 3 adults and 3 kids in a room! Yes, 6 pax in a room. I wanted to have 2 rooms but Ah Ma said save the $$ for shopping. *roll eye ball*  And so Reese and Ah Ma slept on the inflatable bed that I ordered from Taobao.  In fact the 2 inflatable beds when put together become a "King"size bed and looks more comfy than the hotel bed.



 Breakfast @ "Flavours" Breakfast was good.  They have donuts, soya bean milk with You Tiao, Thai Ice Tea and Coffee and the best part is they serve freshly squeezed fruit juice.  Have not come across any hotel that serve freshly squeezed fruit juice so far.

Day 1 starts officially with praying @ Erawan Shrine and followed by a walk to Platinum Mall.  Brought the kids to Sun Star to buy some stationery to ""shut up" their mouth so that Ah Ma and I can shop in peace in Platinum Mall.

 Dinner @ AKA Restaurant.  Lele loves this because she can "play" BBQ. Ah Ma said I very "li hai".  Buy coupons buy till Bangkok.  Bought a Swensens "ensogo" coupon, 2 christmas banana spilt for only S$5 ie one banana spilt for only $2.50!!!  And the portion is so much bigger than those in Singapore Swensens! Super Worth.

 There's a mini play area in Isetan @ Central World and the kids had some fun there while Ah Ma go shopping for undergarment.

And finally we took cab back to hotel.  Yes, took cab back to hotel though walking only took 10 mins or less from Central World to Hotel through the Skybridge.  If I were to go alone, I would have walked but Ah Ma said so many monkeys, better take cab.

Day 1 of Bangkok Trip: 7 Dec to 12 Dec 2011

The long planned and awaited trip was postponed from 24 Nov to 7 Dec because of the flood in Thailand. Luckily, Thai Airways and Renaissance Ratchaprasong Bangkok allow change of date without penalty.

This is the make-shift stroller for Reese and Shaine.  All thanks to Papa who forgot to bring the stroller to airport and only remember it when the cab was at Pasir Ris.

And here we are in Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 1. The flight was delayed for about 20 minutes. I am surprised that TG only took 20 mins to clean up the aircraft after the passengers from the previous flight landed. That's was fast!

Ipad to keep the monkeys entertained during the 2 hr flight.

Finally landed and reached Renaissance Ratchaprasong Bangkok which is located opposite Chidlom BTS. Central Chidlom is located on the right of the hotel which is just a 5 mins walk. Armain Plaza, Erwan Hyatt, Gaysorn and Central World are on the left of the hotel which are all within walking distance.

The kids were fascinated with the the stand-alone bath tub and cant wait to jump into it.

Angry Birds

We went to queue up about 50 mins and manage to get a pass for the meet and greet with angry birds.  Lele likes the yellow bird because it can hit a lot of things.

With the Kindle Fire, Ah Gong is also "hooked"onto playing angry birds.
