BKK Shopping Trip - Day 7

Day 7 - Last Day!

5am: Wake up, shower, pack, laze abit in room and off for breakfast! Zzzzzz~

All my barang-barang!

8.20am: Reached airport way earlier than planned, partly bcos we were kiasu and wanted to prevent any screw-up on the way to the airport; NO thanks once again to the stupid protesters.

Funny thing was that, all 3 check-in counters had super long queue and we realised that being early may not be a good idea after all. There are more kiasu people than us! Waited for 30 mins for our turn =.= those check-in staff are quite slow too. Sighs.





Off to depart from Thailand and back to Singapore! YAY~



Comparing us to our neighbouring aircraft from Qatar Airways, we are peanuts!


9.45am: Plane was slightly delayed, no thanks to some inconsiderate late bugger. Joan was already blabbering much about reaching Singapore soon. LOL!

Joan bought the Straits Times newspaper onboard, for S$2! OMG! No choice, we wanted to update ourselves in English about the BKK protests lah. Anything for safety and no CNN!

Meanwhile, budget airlines got no in-flight entertainment so I took tons of pics during the 2 hours flight. Enjoy the white fluffy clouds and blue skies and green lil islands scattered everywhere. God's creation indeed is interesting and marvellous, enough said!

Up and away we go~!

On the runway, the terminal so far away now~
Runways, with many intersections! How the pilots not be confused on which one to take off from?!

Control tower~ not as nice as Changi's though!

Taking off any moment now~! Excited me :)

Wheeeee~ We are diagonally upwards now!

Aerial view of small area of BKK!

Cute lil boy in front of us, admiring the scenery~
Love the effects of the wispy clouds and the wing aileron against it....
Many different layers of clouds in one pic. Look like kueh lapis* (multi-layered kueh)!
Blue waters, lil white cloud patches, green islands~ Beautiful (:
A huge version of Pulau Ubin?







12.45pm: Landed in Singapore! Changi Airport indeed brought back that familiar home feeling to us Singaporeans! So happy to be back home once again. Clean water, clean air, clean bed, clean clothes and clean food!



2pm: Lunch with Darren and Joan and T2 MacDonalds. Darren was bored and decided to pick us up at airport. He even helped me with my bags all the way back to my house doorstep. So sweet of him =) 

4pm: Home Sweet Home! 

So here's the stuff I bought with approx. S$200 odd, back in BKK. Fantastic! 
Zara-inspired dress~ 170 baht (S$7), after bargaining at Chatuchuk!
Shoes! 2 for me, got them at SL Night Bazzar. Blue ones for mum. Could have gotten more if not for limited baggage space lor.
All tops from Chatuchuk! Ranging from 100 to 200 baht only! Belts and misc stuff from Indus Mall and Platinum SC.
All tops from Big C! Ranging from 59 to 199 baht only!

Foodstuff and nail art from MBK, the rest from Platinum SC and other malls.

This marks the last of my BKK shopping trip nonsense, and next up is Sydney =) LOL!


All in all, I really enjoyed shopping at BKK and much thanks to Joan for all the meticulous planning on which shopping mall to invade everyday. Hahaha! Forget about the bad protests experience lah!

Girls, do shop at BKK bcos SG really is overpriced in clothes especially! Guys, not much stuff for you to buy so basically go stuff yourselves with lotsa great cheap street food there! YAY!

Thank God once again for His protection over us, especially when 2 ladies are all alone in a foreign country is quite risky. We din fall sick and din get killed by the protesters either. So well, all is good!

Next shopping destination, Hong Kong.... Once I'm rich enough to shop again lah!
