Bangkok Trip Report

TO BEGIN WIT THIS IS A BLOG REFLECTING ON MY TRIP AND EXPERIENCE AT BANGKOK.

THIS IS CHANGI AIRPORT

THIS IS THE AIRPORT IN BANGKOK.IT IS ACTUALLY AN AMAZINGLY HUGE AND BEAUTIFUL AIRPORT . ITS CALLED  SUVARNABHUMI AIRPORT.IT IS ALSO KNOWN AS BANGKOK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.THERE ARE MANY SHOPPING CENTRE IN THE AIRPORT ALONG WITH MANY FOOD COURT INSIDE.THEY SERVE DELICIOUS FOOD SUCH AS PHRAD THAI AND OMELET RICE.

 

THIS IS THE WELL KNOWN THIS DRAMATIC SCENE,WHICH  SYMBOLISED THE PUERPERAL STRUGGLE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL,IS CAPTURED IN A 21 M LONG SCULPTURE ON DISPLAY AT THE DEPARTURE LOUNGE ON THE 2ND FLOOR IN THE AIRPORT.

THIS IS SOGO OF BANGKOK.LIKE THE THAI'S SAY IF YOU NEVER BEEN TO SOGO YOU ARE AS GOOD AS NOT BEEN TO BANGKOK .SOGO  IS A PLACE MOST PEOPLE LIKE TO BE AT,IT IS LIKE THE CITY OF BANGKOK,THE MOST CROWDED PLACE WHETHER IS FOR ATTRACTIONS OR FOR SHOPPING.THOUGH I HAD RECENTLY HEARD THAT IT IS NOW CALLED THE AMARIN PLAZA.

THIS IS THE NIGHT MARKET IN BANGKOK .THERE ARE MANY THINGS SOLD IN THE NIGHT MARKET, FROM DRINKS TO CLOTHING , FROM CLOTHING TO LOCAL FOOD. WHEN I WENT THERE, IT WAS VERY CROWDED AND I HAD TO SQUEEZE MY WAY THROUGH THE MARKET. ALTHOUGH IT WAS AS PACKED AS SARDINES IN THE NIGHT MARKET, IT WAS STILL VERY FUN THERE.

THIS IS THE HOTEL WE STAYED IN DURING OUR TRIP IN BANGKOK. IT IS THE CALLED BANDARA SUITES SILOM. WHEN WE WENT THERE, I WAS EXPECTING JUST THE NORMAL HOTEL BUT TO MY SURPRISE, IT WAS ACTUALLY AN APARTMENT ! LATER ON WE FOUND OUT THAT MOST HOTELS  WERE ACTUALLY APARTMENTS AND ONLY MOTELS WERE THE USUAL HOTEL ROOMS, THE APARTMENT MIGHT BE EVEN LARGER THAN MY OWN HOUSE! IT WAS A COMFORTABLE STAY AS ME AND MY BROTHER STAYED IN ONE ROOM WITH TWO BEDS AND MY PARENTS STAYED IN THE OTHER ROOM FOR THE FIRST TIME.

DURING THE TRIP, WE ALSO WENT TO THE GRAND PALACE,. THE PALACE WAS REALLY GRAND, INSTEAD OF IT BEING JUST A SINGLE BUILDING ITSELF, THERE WERE MANY BUILDINGS, WITH A TEMPLE CALLED THE EMERALD BUDDHA TEMPLE OR WAT PHRA KAEW  AS ONE OF THE BUILDINGS.  WE DID NOT ENTER THE GRAND PALACE DUE TO ITS ENTRY FEE BEING TOO EXPENSIVE, BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD FROM THE OTHER TOURISTS WHO WENT IN, IT WAS  VERY BEAUTIFUL INSIDE , 

ENTRANCE OF THE GRAND PALACE 

THIS IS THE FAMOUS  4 FACE BUDDHA(PHRA PHROM) STATUE LOCATED AT ERWAN SHRINE.THIS IS NEAR SOGO OF BANGKOK AND IT IS  SAID THAT THE BOMBING WAS HERE AT THE ERWAN SHRINE.MANY THAI COMES HERE AND PRAY AS IT IS SAID TO BE  VERY FORTUNE AS IT ANSWERED PEOPLES PRAYERS.
