Bangkok & Pattaya Trip - Day 1
Around 4.00am on 23th June 2007, my colleague and I woke up to get ready. At 5:05am, my brother sent us to LCCT at Sepang. The journey took around 45 minutes. When we reached there, we gathered with others before went to check-in.
Before we check-in, we took a photo at the LCCT (Low Cost Carrier Terminal). Early in the morning, LCCT already full with people who going to take their flight to their destination. We ate our breakfast at LCCT's restaurant.
Around 9:50am (Bangkok time), we reached Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport. The airport was very big and bright. The air inside the building also not too cold.
Around 11am, we reached our hotel. This was the road at Bangkok city. At the right side of the photo was the hotel - First Hotel that we stayed at Bangkok. Since the first day of the trip was free and easy, we took our chance to go shopping at their local market. After we check-in and put down our luggage, we went out to eat lunch. We just ate cup noodles at 7-11, then we straight way head to our main destination - Chatuchak Market. Our tour guide told we that we could take a ride of sky train from Ratchathewi Station to Mo Chit Station, then just walked few minutes to the market.
This was the station we took our train - Ratechathewi Station. The ride costs 30 baht each person to Mo Chit Station.
This was one part of Chatuchak Market. In the market, they sell a lots of clothes, home decorations, wood carves, shoes, bags, etc. One of my colleague been to the market before, she told me that the market was very big and easy to lost our way back to the shop which we been before, I still cannot imagine it. But then, when i walked inside the market, I really know what she meant about lost in the market. The market was very big and lots of shop inside. Luckily, before we went into the market, we took a free market map from tourist police who give out the map at the market entrance. We walked almost 4 hours plus until my right foot cramped but still not finish quarter of the market. Too bad, Bangkok had heavy rain around 4pm. A lots of shop closed because there was little flood in the market cause of the drains were too shallow. At least, I bought some home decorations from the market.
