Bangkok + Pattaya Trip 3

came to the 3rd day...and u will see my entry bcome shorter and shorter...*grin*

took the breakfast and proceed to the 1st extraction...which is the Vimanmek mansion...stepped out from the hotel...again, feel dying walking in tat kinda of weather, hot and often humid...!! took the cab straight...and reached in 15mins times...which cost 75baht...i wonder if this can happen in malaysia? often we cant find cab wif reasonable price...or i because i dun have much experience on this??

our hotel, waiting for the cab

Vimanmek mansion belongs to one of the Thai King, The King Rama V...this mansion was 1st permanent residence in the Dusit Garden, and in this Dusit garden/Dusit Palace there are several building and monument which i wasnt so sure about the stories, just truly impressed with their architecture..!

the ticket to visit all the buildings and galleries in this Dusit palace is 100baht, pretty worth! following the map, we 1st passed by their royal photography exhibition hall...we just took photo, not sure whether it is open for visit...da next was the Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall...initially was used for state occassions but later on was renovated and open for visit 2 displays arts and crafts produced in Thailand...

royal photography exhibition hall

Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall, it's cool!

oh, sumthg i missed out...we were not aware tat a strict dress code applies here...so we all forced to buy a big pc of clothes and wore as sarung...kinda stupid...as every1 tot we are freak!!

took a while in the Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall..nth interesting 2 me, no way for me to understand ART...da next to visit was Ananta Samakorn Throne Hall...well, i dunno how to appreciate art...but this building and everythings inside it, the architexture, the exhibition, the interior design...everything is magnificient, find no words to describe, unless u see it with ur own eyes!

well, it was very lucky that today is the official launching day for the exhibition, inside you will get to understand to see what are those thgs that the royal family, like king and queen are using...i couldnt name them out...too long and hard to remember, but in general, is like the several types of chair dey are using, the bed...and other cultural stuff...all specially made when there is big occasion like king 80th birthday or queen birthday...sumthg like this...

since it's the 1st official launching day, the security was very very strict, esp u know thailand, every1 pay full respect to the royal family...! we have to buy the clothes to cover our feet as we wore shorts and sandals...too bad! made us walk like creep!! and no photo is allow...too bad again!

the only picture to show u...

b4 going for lunch, visit da last seems-to-be cool building... :p The large main building consists of two wings at right angles in an "L" shape. Most of the building is three stories high, but the octagonal tower at the end of one wing, which is where King Rama V actually resided, is four stories... the whole building have 4 types of colour, not sure 4 da meaning...hehe

half of it was in renovation...and u can laugh ur lungs out if u feel tat he is too funny wearing the sarung thg

pic at the maingate, oric seemed to be proud of wat he was wearing...

visited the last building and proceed for lunch in Pratunam...in a foodcourt in 1 of da shopping complex, namely Platinum...we ordered quite a lot, but i took only photos 4 2...too hungry..huh?

Phad Thai, something like kueh tiew, but sweet and lil' sour, food you musnt miss, as it's thailand specialities...

snack for thai i guess, can see this everywhere. fried quail...taste nice, but it reminds me of cholestrol!

find it too hot to walk under the sun...time for shopping...went MBK...is one of the famous shopping malls in Bangkok city, a much loved destination for the young people and schoolgirls for their evening outing, i guess...most are young shopper...nth really caught my attention except the Converse shop...big favourite for me!

cute, right? my shoes to work *wink*

took the dinner in there as well...simply choose 1 of the restaurant, 1 stop restaurant which consists of food of various countries, japanese, western, italian and thai...nth special anyway...

in the menu, they called it ORANGE juice, but i found it's in fact, mandarin juice, love it...order this in all the restaurant i visited...

really tired to walked the whole day...went bck hotel for bathing...and rest...

went out again at 10pm...to SKY BAR...! wanted 2 hav a visit so long...!! just too yearn to go! der is nothing 2 match da stunning 63rd floor, under-the-stars setting of Thailand’s loftiest restaurant/bar...we enjoyed a bird's eye view of this sprawling metropolis while sipping the beers and liquor...baileys was my order, there is no way i will hate it!! u really got 2 visit this, trust me, u will have no regret...even the drinks is expensive...haha...

that's my 3rd day...good 1...TO BE CONTINUE..........
