My Bizzare Brainwork Says

Jatujak Market

The incredible maze of stalls called JJ by local but Chatuchak by tourist..The below photo does it no justice as it only show a quarter of the actual size. The clock tower marks the center point.

Where you can find everything under the sun!

Literally under the hot hot sun

All sorts of people as well.

As much shopping damage had been done the day before at Platinum, my trip there was kept to the minimal and more focus on souvenirs hunting. Dressed for the heat that I’ll be combating.

But once I knew I’m going Bangkok and obviously that will include JJ, I wanted to try the famous boat house noodle.

It’s quite good, but the wait was quite horrible. Only 1 person was making the noodle, the rest of the staff was just standing around, taking orders, ushering people to sit here and there…. =____=

Would have helped alot if those people make themselves useful.

The noodle is sort of like glass noodle but not quite. They have it in beef or pork. I had beef, nidnoi’s pork with a huge fishball. The soup would be the essence of the whole dish. So remember to drink up! although it’s fucking spicy.

*Updated* Forgot to mentioned the location. Okay, it’s practically quite easy to find. Along the main street inside Jatujak, somewhere along the midsection there’s like a tiny food court. Walk all the way pass the food court, then you’ll reach to few soi/lane with air-conditioned restaurants or shops. It’s just at the corner. Impossible to missed unless you can’t see, hear or even smell -__-

Secondly, I wanted to see the huge pet section that I missed on my first trip there. I’m so glad I found it this time!!

The puppies all are toooooooo cuteee!!

Puppies are perpetually cute, no matter what breed.

Look at how the seller will put tiny ribbon on their head…to heighten the percentage of people buying them on the spot. People like me *shifty eyes*

Of course I couldn’t buy any :(  Just look at the cute and stupid faces on the first and second photos on the left…

I’ll end the post with the a busker which is scattered like pepper in the market. ASIAN STYLE!

The paper reads ” For Education” FYI

Anyway, the market is always filled with busy buzz and sound of people bargaining. The only time everything and everyone stood still, was when the speaker suddenly blast their national or king’s anthem.

Quite a sight to see giggling tourist or lost looking tourist thinking “WTF??!!”

Delectable~ yumss~

Can’t upload photo directly means no mood to blog.. H1N1 virus is infecting everyone, even my blog got some =.= Professor Ming only manage to cure it for me today. Yay to him!!

Was having dinner with Nikki and DivaLisa at Gardens last sunday. The wait to our table was 15mins long which prompted us to pop into the cake/muffin bakery – Delectable, that we had heard so much about.

The owner herself personally came up to us and appears to be super chirpy. What’s left for the day, vanilla and chocolates flavour with chocolate > vanilla. However, Sue (owner) strongly recommend us to take 2 chocolates as she puts it ” I assure you they are as tasty as they look good”

Minibar Royale, Bangkok

The best part of traveling in foreign land is when you stumble across something fascinating off the tourist map.  This time around, I found this little gem of a place. Or rather the place found me…

Thai Massage – bangkok

What trip to Thailand is complete without any massage?

Today most trainess went to this very good place recommended by the local. Health Land Spa & Massage! They have 6 branches and we went to Ekamai branch, which is nearest to the hotel

Never have I seen such huge and grand massage place in Thailand!!! Upon entering, first impression was “Are we at the right place? Is this a hotel?!?!”

The waiting or receiving area. After paying first, we sat at the receiving area until the room is prepared. They have rooms and rooms, alleys looking like karaoke and 3 storeys high.

Overall, the price is reasonable for the place and massage. Thai Massage -450bht for 2 hours, minus all the dodgy spa and cowboy girls…I will go back!

It was 930pm and we were starving!! Walking aimlessly down the soi, we just went to the first shop that we saw. Ottoya japanese restaurant is the lucky one

Salad..something Yoshiko ordered. Vege is never my thing =.=

KATSUDON IS LOVE! <3 <3

Potato Korokke too (i dont know how to spell)

Total price for my korokke and katsudon is around 230bht. Not so bad isnt it

Here’s a new addition to my blog. A yellow turtle. Yet to be name…so please suggest:D

Bombastic Bangkok

Wee! Finally executed the plan of holidaying oversea with friends. Yang bertolak dari Penang lah. The frequency of me dropping my passport on the floor or dropping my luggage with a loud *thud* was so high, friends suspect my ability of traveling Great Britain myself.

Once checked in, we rushed out in search of food. Should we have this?

or this, Samurai pork Burger with cheesy fries with ice cold latte that give Starbucks a run for it’s money ~!

but we choose to have nice vermicelli noodles by the roadside, with extremely spicy economy rice, so spicy it made the MEN of the trip cry; and aunties that lives up the friendly reputations of Thais.

Poor fat dogs that ppl used a marker pen to “conteng-menconteng”…

The typical thing to do after a long day in Thailand… Thai MASSCHATTT~!!

After the massage, we went for a perfect thai dinner. To dine in the same place as the Thai Princess and ex Japanese Prime Minister, Koizumi… well worth the wait. Coincidently, the place ( Somboon) is no more than 10minutes walk away from our hotel. How wonderful can it get  :love:

You’ll notice a lot of Japanese dining there as well. We had very nice eggy crab, omelet oysters, Siam Style steam fish, NICE mango sticky rice, “tang hoon” with crab claw and obviously tomyum kung!

After dinner we felt like just passing out on our beds, but the ever enthusiastic tour guide, Nidnoi already have plans for us. “Get ready!! ” She asked us..so kinda reluctantly, we got dressed.

Took a cab to THE PLACE.

and never look back.

It’s seriously one of the best clubbing places to be. The name to remember when you are in BKK -

RCA

We did not took much photos, because we left the cameras back in the room thinking it will be short trip. We have no intention to leave that place at all after standing in awe before the clubssss… @_@

So best we wanted to go there again the next day and the day after… so best I did not feel like clubbing in Penang nor KL for months… -.-|
