Bangkok Day 2

After an early breakfast, we took a cab to pray at the famous 四面佛。We headed back to the hotel and Dad went to play golf with his friends while Mum, sis & me headed to Platinum Mall to do our shopping. Sis bought quite a lot of things, like shorts, t-shirts, slippers, bag...I bought a blouse, t-shirts, slippers and a pair of shoes. Some of the shops have changed since the last time I was here with my colleagues.

We went back to the A&W for lunch. After lunch and walking around some more, Mum wanted to take a short rest so we had coffee at Black Canyon Coffee. The iced coffee was too sweet while the hot version was bitter so after drinking almost half a cup each, I mixed the 2 drinks together and it tasted ok.

We headed back to our hotel around 4+pm (Thai time) but most of the cabs don't want to go there as they claimed that there will be traffic jam, some asking for almost double of what we paid to get there. We also asked the tuk tuks but they also asked for alot and there was one driver who agreed to take us after we negotiated the price but later on he wanted us to help him pay for topping up his tank so we said no and we were in a rush for time. He dropped us off a distance later. We finally got on a cab driven by an old uncle and he took us back to the hotel. We were quite relieved that he agreed to take us cos my hp wasn't working except for emergency calls.

We met Dad's friends again for dinner at Ping Thai restaurant and had alot of good food. The sharks fin soup was fabulous and we ate till we were all very full...
