Bangkok (BKK) Trip 1/2 Tips + Guide to Chatuchak and Talad Rot Fai
Short Getaway to Bangkok! My Virgin Trip!
I went Bangkok BKK with Tracy and my cousin, Ian. We reached Bangkok at 8pm so decided to just explore around the hotel that I'm staying at first. The most important thing to do before going Bangkok is to pack LIGHT or NOTHING. Trust me, or you will cry coming home as you are unable to squeeze all your loots into your luggage.
I stayed at Pratunum Centrepoint Hotel during my 4D3N stay. This is one hotel that I would recommend as it is clean and spacious. Most importantly, it is only 3 minutes walk away from Platinum Mall! The down side is that it is pretty far from the train station.
At the airport, remember to:
1. Buy Thailand Prepaid Cards and ask them to activate for you. It is very cheap and you will definitely see it when you get out of the check out station
2. Walk out of the airport and take the taxi. Make sure it is registered and the attendant at the airport helps you with it so that you will not get scammed! I will advice you to ask the hotel to book taxi for you wherever you want to go to be safe
TADA! OUR FIRST MEAL IN BANGKOK BKK ! SUPER CHEAP, ONLY AROUND $3 PER PAX!
Walking around and taking some ON THE GO pictures.
A 5 minutes walk and you will see this whole stretch of night market where most of the stuffs are handcrafted! Even the tee shirt design is made on the spot. You can get one at only about $5.
Kena bullied to buy all the necessities for our room for the next 4 days! And time to sleep because the day is gonna start early tomorrow!
We are going Chatuchak and Talad Rot Fai today! Yes, both highly raved about and super crowded places. Thus, wear less is the BEST outfit!
Surprisingly, the train is so efficient and clean and it is not complicated at all. So fret not that you will get lost. I got a fear of taking taxi and tuktuk there as I am very gullible, also got scammed. Take to Mochit Station and exit at Exit 1 to reach Chatuchak. Chatuchak is open from 9am - 6pm on weekends.
Finally reach Chatuchak. Only about 30 minutes away from my hotel!
Please, how can I missed this? You can't say you've been to Bangkok if you did not try their coconut ice-cream!
Our lunch! Highly recommended! Garlic Pork Rice at sec12, unit 245, soi21/1.
I got the address down for you guys. :) I know the whole place is damn huge and there's probably other nicer food that I have yet to try. However, if you are near there, you can always try this dish out!
There are many refreshing drinks by the roadside and all of them are super good. Strawberry and Dragon fruit smoothies are my personal favorites!
Me and my cousin shopping around for FOOD and CLOTHES!
Tips on how to CUT price:
Go in the shop and look at the items that you want. Ask for the price and give a 'WHAT?! SO EXPENSIVE' look. Example if the price is 400Baht, you tell the shopkeeper:
250Baht? 250Baht I buy NOW! It works most of the time.
If not, walk out immediately and 70% of the time they will ask you back and give you a reasonable price. The prices are cheap enough but it's fun to bargain for a better price.
DAMN LOOK AT ALL THESE FOOD!
Mini quail eggs. Super cute right? I bought like one whole plate cos it looks super cute but it turned out to taste just like.. eggs. But they got some special sauce so it ain't too bad.
I bought many clothes and eat until I almost vomitted. But there isn't much pictures of my loots because I was busy shopping and I forgot to take pictures :(
Chilled and some super retro coffee house and had a few drinks. We walked for almost 8 hours and we barely cleared half of the whole market. Next time when I return, I'm definitely spending one whole day here!
So what should you do after walking for 8 hours? Full Body Thai Massage of course! :)
LEK Foot Massage is ''çlean'' and is located outside Siam Station (7 stops from Mochit Station) and exit from exit 6 of BTS station. 250 Baht for 1 hour of Thai Massage!
So the 2nd stop for the day was Talad Rot Fai Night Market (Railway Train Market)! Many of you guys may not have heard of this place but this place is a MUST GO! It's truly a hipster hangout palce! However, it is pretty far from Pratunum (About 30minutes taxi ride). It is opened only during evenings from 5pm onwards on weekends.
Talad Rot Fai/ Train Night Market
Soi 51 Srinakarin Srinakarin Rd
Nong Bon Prawet Bangkok
5pm to 12am (Fri to Sun)
Take a picture first before heading inside this hipster land. This place consist of 2 parts and is super big.
Green noodle Wanton Mee. Super refreshing and nice though the serving is a little small.
My favourite! Strawberry Smoothie. I swear this is like the BEST SMOOTHIE ON EARTH.
Nice right the bags? It is slightly more expensive of course than other places but it's worth it. I wanted to buy one of the bag here but my friend asked me to look around first. What a wrong move to listen to her because by the time I went back, it was GONE.
Cute little dog is the mascot of one of the stalls
They have lots of antiques and nice retro museums around too! It's a heaven for hipsters and instagrammers seriously. But my objective to Thailand was to shop and eat thus, there wasn't too many pretentious shots taken.
We really had fun shopping but unfortunately, it rained half way and all the shops closed! :( Decided to went back to our hotel as our feet were really really sore.
Bought this outfit! A duck tee and a duck boxer! Cute right?!
Are we cute yet?
Macs for supper to end off our Day 1! We tried their thailand menu and some BKK microwaved food from their 7-11 and it was decently good!
Be sure to stay tuned for Part 2/2 of my BKK trip as I went to places like Platinum Mall, Terminal 21, Siam Square, Railway Market, Erwan Shrine etc. More tips and directions would be given too! Awesome Bangkok!

ONLY Aesthetic Review Firstly, I would like to thank ONLY Aesthetics for having me over for the treatment. Also, thanks to The Influencer Network and William for the invitation as well. The ONLY Group is a unique Singapore homegrown company with medical distribution, aesthetic clinics, franchise management and investment arm in its brand, which centers on bettering the lifestyle of people. The ONLY Group is Singapore's largest multi-award winning Aesthetics Group that has won numerous accolades and awards for their aesthetics treatment utilizing the latest in medical aesthetics technology and are highly raved by media and even royalties! I have never ever did facial treatment before as I heard of many cases whereby customer's skin condition got worse after the treatment. However, I heard many great reviews from my friends and fellow bloggers. Thus, I decided to give it a try and I'm glad I made this decision!
I love the entire layout as it gives a very posh and classy ambiance. This is one of the rooms whereby I fill in my particulars as well as having consultation with the friendly staff, Crystal.
Now, off with the treatment! If you look closely. I actually have uneven skin tone, big visible pores, black heads and some acne problems at my chin area! These nuisance need to GET AWAY form my face!
The whole experience was great thanks to the friendly staffs that keeps talking to me as well as helping me snap photos during the entire course of treatment. It feels minty and it was not uncomfortable at all. The treatment that I did will help in reducing my pores, removing blackheads and also helps in evening out my uneven skin tone. Most importantly, it helps my skin to GLOW and looks healthy!
Putting on that goggles in order to protect my eye from the chemicals.
The real thing has just begun! Yes, I'm actually putting on this 'ironman' mask! It may looks scary and hot but it's actually super comfortable!
This lasted for about 20 minutes. It got so comfortable that I even fell asleep! I'm damn excited to see how my face would look like in just 45 minutes!
TADA!! My pores are less visible and you can see my face is generally more radiant than before! I got a shock when I touched my skin as it was really super smooth (I'm not kidding!). However, be sure that after this treatment, you are not allowed to deep-cleanse/ exfoliate your skin and also to apply sunblock for 1 week.Pardon my messy hair as my head was wrapped by a towel! HAHA
I'm super happy after the treatment! Thanks for making my face looks brighter and flawless once AGAIN! I'm sure people with flawless skin will be more confident when they are out with friends and strangers. So, empower yourself!
Last but not least, with the ever friendly Crystal that helps me out the entire treatment. Other than taking care of my needs during the treatment, she also has got to help me in snapping all these pictures. Thank you for all the advises too! :) Now, I'm not worried about the pimples that are popping up due to exam stress anymore!
