Please take note. I didn't go to any statues or temple etc etc etc when I was in Bangkok. It was merely for shopping, nightlife, & an 'escape'.
FOOD
Delicious delicious food that don't cost much. No food-poisoning this time round, so yay! Good food, healthy appetite, happy stomach, I'm not even complaining :> If you can't speak Thai, don't worry, point to the menu or something. Caution: Thais LOVE pork, so if you want 100% Halal food, make sure you choose the restaurants with a Halal sign, but don't be shocked if you see them selling alcohol. If you don't mind, then just eat the beef/chicken at a random stall, despite knowing that the same wok has been used for cooking pork. Your choice. To survive as a Muslim, pig: 'moo' no: 'mai' so I just said, "Mai ao moo" enough to survive I guess. Want: Ao.
Oh man now I'm hungry.
This Thai Pancake for 10 Baht each; that's like 40 cents each. Erm, looks pretty but I don't like it. Maybe you would find it delish, Idk.
Nutella pancake MASYA'ALLAH SEDAPNYAAAA Hahaha Wasn't craving for it though (Omg Aisyah, you're so dumb. Just get it cs you're at Thailand la, who cares about cravings?! Ikr) but it's different from Phuket's. Phuket's on a plate and cut into small pieces. But eh, sedap. I'll definitely get this the next time I go Thailand :)
Food, food and more food. But this one right here, shrimp/prawn pancake, is THE best.
Very home-made, no? And yummy. Just don't buy the 'burnt' ones beside the orange (kaya), cs that's Pork floss or something. Urgh pork pork pork. Forbidden siol. Hehe
Is this classified under 'Food'? No photo-taking, but I'm a badass.
SHOPPING/NIGHT MARKETS
Mmkay we all know Bangkok is known for shopping, and whoo there were/are/were/are night markets and flea markets EVERYWHERE. I didn't go Asiatique, so I have no idea what's there. It was a short trip, after all. But here's my recommendationz.
Where to go: Chatuchak Weekend Market. Feel free to spend one full day there, don't go anywhere else until 8pm. It's a non-smoking zone, a clean street, but good luck trying to find a rubbish bin ;) Don't bother bargaining if you're just gonna buy a single item from a stall. MBK. It's like Bugis street but in a mall! Complete. Allows bargaining, and everything under one roof. Oh btw, whoever who's heading there soon, buy for me dried mango & banana can? I forgot to buy OMG Platinum Mall. Good too! Go go go go. KHAO SAN ROAD OMG HOW CAN I FORGET. SO MANY ANGMOHS, THE BEST CLUB IN TOWN, AND CHEAP CHEAP FLEA MARKET! And feel free to go to other markets, ain't stoppin' ya
Where NOT to go: Just two. Patpong Night Market. So expensive. NO NEED LA. & Chatuchak Night Market which starts after 8pm. Maybe go for an hour, and go somewhere else. We got our charm bracelets there, and that's the only thing worth our time there :>
Chatuchak Weekend Market.
MBK
Setting up of Patpong Night Market. Nuuuuuuuu
I think this was at Khao San Road.
Eh Chatuchak again
Super crowded. Haha good luck.
Silom Flea Market? At Siam station.

CLUBZ
Not something to be proud of and something I'd love to stop, is the nightlife & clubbinnnggggg. The best club we went was to The Club at Khao San. Singaporeans, especially Malays, please please please bring your passport along cs erm we kind of look like Thais & they need proof that we're foreigners, so... Yea.
Just two only okay? What we did for nightlife stays in Bangkok haha
Seems like we got scammed when a taxi driver recommended us the best clubs, which turned out to be places for cheap hoes and fucked up dudes who can't get chicks, and if you tell 'em that NO, GO TO XXX INSTEAD, the taxi drivers are gonna come up with 101 reasons why you should give other clubs a chance first. So you're gonna go in circles, to different cheap and low clubs before he agrees to go to the club you wanna go to.
Travel by cab if you're traveling in a group; travel by train ONLY if you're alone or in pairs. Cs.... the cab there is really cheap and worth it. For example, ahem just an example, 5 of you, the cab fare cost about $10, so that's $2 each right? But the train ticket might cost $3 each, so that'd be $15 total. Get it? Moral of story: Listen to me. Hahaha and it's so easy to get cabs w meter.
Don't bother going to the pussy show, or ping pong show, cs it's mostly a scam in Bangkok. I went to the one in Phuket, and it was free entry, but every drink, EVERY DRINK EVEN MINERAL WATER, cost a bloody 500 Baht, which is ~S$20?! Not even kidding. So you can choose not to drink or something, not 'scam-ish' enough. But I've heard that Bangkok ones are baaaad news. So you decide.
Okay Idk what else to blog about. Oh, I need need need need a DSLR if I wanna travel more :( Money money come to mama? No? Okay :(
