Starting off the day with a photo!

Chatuchak Weekend Market is one of the must go if you are at Bangkok during the weekend for the shopaholics or the atmosphere or just for the food. To avoid the traffic, we took the BTS to Mo Chit and strolled over to the weekend market.

A much anticipated trip to Bangkok is here! She has been going on and on about the holiday since we booked the air tickets 2 months ago. And Yes! We are heading to Bangkok solely for 9 days and it’s never enough. Who will say no to a holiday? Not us!

Upon reaching the Airport, getting a prepaid SIM card is a MUST. We chose AIS Traveller SIM as there was a 10 days option at 449 bht. 

Then grab a taxi and head to the hotel.

Grande Centre Point Hotel was recommended to us by Popa’s friend. The spacious layout makes it suitable for family and having a bathtub is every kid’s dream. The hotel is value for money at SGD 135 per night.
