PICTURE-PERFECT


EAT THIS BIIIIIIIIIITCH! I'M BACK.




My goodness. Why in the world is Bangkok's stuff so bloody cheap? Hui Shan and I are planning to migrate over there. And we'll sky-train everywhere since the traffic is fucking mad. You've got cars, motorbikes and tuk-tuks going the opposite direction of the traffic. And it's congested; it's comparable to squeezing a sponge into a pin-head. It's maaaaaaaaad yo.






We did so much shopping that we almost dropped dead. We could sit on the floor of a sky-train station and feel like we're the luckiest people in the world because we finally have somewhere to sit.


Hilarious






Well, we did a whole lot of shopping and it is freaking madness. Bought a whole lot of clothes. I felt like I was Parish Hilton in BKK because everything's so cheap over there, I felt so rich.

I didn't take a lot of pictures because I was more focused in getting my shopping done.




Our home for the next 4 days. While it being a budget hotel, it was better than I thought. When I come back here, I'm sooo gonna stay in here again. Very decent and guess what? It's fucking near to the Prathunam market and Indra Square. A must go when you go to BKK. Why? Because it's FUCKING CHEAP!








Their room service is pretty cheap too. 95B =S$4.1304 That's about the price of a bowl of fish noodles in Banquet or Kopitiam (the shopping centre one, not the one near your house). Damn cheap right, especially considering the fact that it's room service and you don't have to leave your room since you're so tired from all the shopping.

We had room service for 2 nights straight (cus we're the laziest people in this planet) and then went for Kuang Seafood Restaurant on our third night since our tour guide introduced us (since she said that Somboon not that nice anymore and Kuang is waaaaay better. Nigga puh-leese, you conned us damnit!) which is like a vegetable steamboat instead of seafood.


And Barty? We didn't go to Somboon. Stab us please.



Food's pretty good! That's the tum-jiat-gui's hand because she cannot wait to eat her dinner which I'm not surprised.



Waiting for Kev to get ready for another round of SHOPPANG.



Okay, this is byfar, the most touristy sightseeing thing we did. Because we paid for the 1/2 day city tour, we went from temples to temples.




There's this Buddha statue which is made from GOLD. The ENTIRE STATUE! Unlike Singapore's, theirs are waaay huger.





Next up, we went to yet another temple. This time, the statue isn't entirely made up of gold. BUUUUUUT, the size of the statue? Mmm-mmm! It'd put Kobe Bryant (anyone watched the Celtics VS Lakers game????) and Yao Ming to baboon's ass shame yo.




It's probably about a 3 stories tall or something. It's damnnnnnn huge!





Being all but Singaporeans, we decided to be some kaypo monkeys and decided to climb those white stairs, just to you know, get inside the Buddha's head or something.



I tell you. It's fucking steep. It's like climbing a vertical wall with staircase. Bastardious.

So, we climbed and oh, how our poor feet hurt. When we got to the top,







the damn people locked the door. Asshole, climb all the way up only to know it's locked. Fuck you in the head ah!



I hate optimistic people.


Anyhoos, the scene up there is slamming good. We finally felt some sort of breeze since BKK is like a friggin boiler. It's good. And I got a few pretty shots of the temple infront of us. Sat and chilled by the steps of the temple. Shiok lorrrssxzxzxz.



















Next, all pictures will be in random events that suits my favour.

























When in Thailand, there are bound to be insectsy food right. These Thai eat insects like it's potato chips. Just that this brand is a damn cheap version.



Mine and Kevin's bag of tasty tasting locusts.


These bastards are damn sharp. The legs have all these freaking spikes on them and it poked me quite a bit while I was holding the bag. It's like carrying the shells of durians around Bangkok. Fucking sharp.







We also bought a pack of deep-fried caterpillars and grasshoppers the previous day. I know all of you are daaaaamn curious to know how they taste like right. As much it's in my genes to want to dramatise many things as possible, sadly, these insects don't really have any much foul taste because of the seasoning they put before they pass you the bag. I think it's a concoction of soy sauce and some salt. I think it's salt. It's white. :S

Here's a video of me and Kevin eating. And Kevin giving a better explanation of how a fat, huge locust taste like. The typical size of one locust is a little huger than your bottle cap.













I don't know if Kevin's trying to become a drama king cus I ate 2 huge locusts (the really huge kind) but I didn't taste any Chrysanthemum taste lor.

However, this vendor's execution of deep-frying those insects aren't as good as the previous day's one. My caterpillars were pretty fine, you could taste the seasoning, which is the same as the locusts' ones, however, it was a notch better becaussssssssse, you could taste the oil when you bite into one of those buggers. Oooooh. Grasshoppers, way nicer.

Then, there's another which is like a friggin fat piece of black shit. I don't know what it is but it kinda scared the shit out of me. It looked like a big sized cockroach. It's about the size of my palm okay! Okay fine, my palm quite small but still! It gave me the goosebumps okay, fucking gross.

And I took the least intimidating one, which were the caterpillars. Damn hum-ji, I know. I'm also ashamed of myself.


Hah! I'm sooooo gonna go over to BKK again. SHOPPINNNNNNNNNNNNG!
