Bangkok Trip 2004

Went to Bangkok for my vacation this year. It was really great. Stayed for 1 week. 15th December - 23rd December. There were the 3 of us, Bob Sani, Abu-Chub & me.

We stayed mainly at Malaysia Hotel. But due to the peak tourist season, we had to change hotels 2 - 3 times due to over booked rooms.

The 2nd hotel (Tunmahamek Privacy Hotel) was really the pits. Below the building, protitutes were setting up shop in the room rows below and men on bikes lined up to get their service. The scary part was that were loud noises from the adjacent room where it was being renovated. Minor setbacks really.

Overall, Bangkok is a great place to visit. Here are some photos taken from the trip.


Visited many interesting places like Jatuchak (.. did i spell it right) Market where the prices are dirt cheap, Bought lots of (RM 2 ringgits = 20 bht) necktie. The market is also HUGE. They sell everything under the sun. Local delicacies includes fried bugs, worms and other unindentified thingies. My favorite edible dish is the sweet deserts stuff which was served in cups and it's good. Consisting of bananas, yam and milk. At the pets section there were some weird animals for sale like a baby crocodile.

Went to IChub too. Had our dinner there. Unfortunately, there is a new law in Bangkok which limits entertainment places opened after 1 o'clock. (Bummer!) So after 1 a.m, we all went to Silom for supper and went back to the hotel. Silom is like Chow Kit where hawkers and sellers sells their wares along the roadside. A popular spot is Cafe Society.

Near Silom is the famous Patpong area. Where you can see sex shows. We went into one of the A-Go-Go Boys club where the entry was free but a glass of coke cost RM 20 ringgits. The show was horrible. Guys with huge dicks and pseudo sex acts. We quickly moved to another club featuring muscular men called the Tartawan club. Upon entering, all the staff was lining on stage doing a masturbating act and those who can cum, gets a round of applause. The most shocking was the fucking show, where 2 couples in ski mask was really fucking on stage and then goes down to one table after another around the club asking for tips.

On monday, we went up the Cho-Praya river. saw the royal barge which i was told was made out of 100% gold. Bought some stuff at the floating market. Then some picture session at the riverside temple. And lastly some fish feeding frenzy at the fish farm.

After the boat ride we went to the Grand Palace and the Sanam Luang Park where we feeds the friendly birds. An interesting sight is the stalls. Where they set up picnic style. Sitting on the park and enjoying the afternoon sun.

At night, we went to the Suan Lum Night Bazaar. There were lots of cheap handicraft items to buy and there were live bands performing at the beer garden. It was hip and trendy.

The next day, we went to Mabukom (MBK) equivalent to KL Central Market for breakfat cum dinner and strolled around athe this XXXXXL shop which sells big size shirts . Then we headed to the IT centre and after that walked all the way to the World Plaza. There were also live bands performing at the beer garden.

Lots more to write next time.. huggs
