Day 12, Thailand
THE DATE: May 2, 2012
THE TRIP
07:00-08:00 Our airport transfer is scheduled to pick us up from our hostel around 1:00PM, in time for our 3:40PM flight back to Manila via Tiger Airways. That gave us the whole morning to do what we do best… shop. Do we really have the time? Don’t malls open around 10AM? Will we make it back before 1:00PM? These are some of the questions I asked myself and divimom. We don’t know but we decided to go anyway. Transportation: 12 THB each
Day 11, Thailand
THE DATE: May 1, 2012
THE TRIP
09:00-09:30 The receptionist told me that unlike going to MBK or Chatuchak, there are no buses that will pass by the guesthouse to take us to Central world directly. We have to take the bus from the main road which will take us near Platinum Mall. Transportation: 12 THB each
Day 10, Thailand
THE DATE: April 30, 2012
THE TRIP
09:00-09:40 Because of the sudden change of plans, I had to google famous malls in Bangkok. I did that the night before by renting the computer in Thara House. That morning, I also asked the receptionist the bus number that will take us to MBK. We boarded a non-aircon bus in front of Thara. Transportation: 7 THB each
09:40-19:20 Our first mall is MBK.
Day 9, Thailand
THE DATE: April 29, 2012
THE TRIP
09:30-10:10 Shopping in Thailand is not complete without visiting Chatuchak market. It’s only open on weekends so I made sure that we have at least one weekend in Bangkok. It’s a bus ride away from Thara House, we know because we asked 🙂 You have a choice between an aircon or a non-aircon bus. We decided to take whatever comes first. It was near empty when we boarded it but after several stops, the bus became crowded. Transportation: 13 THB each Continue reading “Day 9, Thailand”
Day 8, Thailand
THE DATE: April 28, 2012
THE TRIP
07:00-07:45 The days passed by so fast that we didn’t notice we were on the 8th day and on our way to the third country of our Southeast Asia Tour!
