Bangkok Trip Day 4 (Homecoming)

Finally its our last day here. And as usual woke up at same time, same menu for breakfast, only that the gals join for breakfast this time. Went up to pack up and check out one of the rooms first. Luckily have done some packing the night before, brought just one more handcarry plastic bag back home (although I have to deposit my star at StupidGenius to prevent it from being crushed).

XY chose to stay back at hotel, so the rest of us proceed to go out and 游荡. We took a cab to Siam Square. There weren't many shop open at this time yet. Wanted to find a massage parlour for a full body traditional Thai massage. Was discussing about the places to go for "body massage" with Ball and Yong the previous day. Then they were smiling away and I had no idea why was that. As it turned out, "body massage" is referring to those massage with "extra service". "Traditional massage" is the right word to use. They did recommend some places to go to, but we didn't have the time to go there.

So the whole morning basically walk around Siam Square, Siam Center area. Finally went MBK again. Walk and walk until we all very tired. Saw a very big bottle of Green Tea. Think there will be an event promoting this drink later that day.

The toilet sign at Siam Center looks pretty unique as well.

Can you spot the difference between this 2 outlets selling donuts? On the left was the big Dunkin Donuts store at Siam square while the right pic was Mr Donuts in MBK.

Then it was about lunch time, so we called XY to join us for lunch. Again we went to find the wanton noodle stall at Sathorn. This time, though, we managed to try out. Turned out that the noodle was not as good as SG described. Although it was quite unique to add sugar and peanut crumbs into the noodle.

Went back MBK for more shopping after lunch and bought more food. Then head back to hotel to wait for transfer to airport. Took some more picture while waiting for our transport.

We took a big taxi to the airport at around 5pm.

Reached airport at about 530pm. S and XY's fllight was at 740pm while SG and my flight was at 810pm. So at this time, our counters were still not open for check in yet. However, as true blue Singaporeans, we queued up in front of the counter nontheless (and there was a substantially long queue already).

There were still some time after checking in, so we all went around looking for food to fill our stomach. SG found that one of the liquor here is very cheap if you buy 2, so he quickly found someone to share and bought 2 bottles.

We walked S and XY to their boarding gate as their flight is earlier. It certainly feels very strange to send some one off while you yourself were also taking a flight. Walked back to our boarding gate after that. Had to wait a while before gate was open for boarding. And that's the problem for free seating flight, everyone came rushing in once the gate was open. Called E to bid her farewell just before boarding.

Continue our own in-flight entertainment on board the plane, i.e. SG's laptop. This time we watched "In Her Shoes". Nothing much except that come across this strange line on the safety guide.

Touched down at the new Budget Terminal at around 1125pm. We had to get down from the plane and walk into the terminal.

The terminal still smells very new... :p. SG and I managed to clear the custom pretty fast. But waited for quite some time for the checked in luggage. Then there was another person on the flight who took the same bag as SG, the new SAF duffer bag. While waiting, a person approached me to do a survey on the new Budget Terminal. But he never gave any souvenirs after the survey was done, hehehe... Meanwhile, we asked the gals to come over here from T1 and go home from here. There was a long queue of taxis outside that stretches until the expressway, so no fear of not getting a taxi.

So all good things has to come to an end. Overall its still quite an enjoyable trip even though there were some small episodes happening here and there. Earnestly waiting for the next overseas trip to come.
