Eat like the local in Bangkok -JCtravel 2016~*

The lil one back for good for one whole month.

Immediately, need not to think twice, head to skyscanner.com and quickly secured 2 good seats for Bangkok.

Well , this trip is just for the sake to getaway from Malaysia. So there will be not much attraction spots but quite some good food XD..

We took an afternoon flight.

Touched down BKK at around 4pm and we took quite a long journey back to our hotel as the traffic was bad in the city.

Reached hotel at 7pm and it was raining. We settled our first dinner at Subway and yessss the never miss out Thai 7Eleven junks!



Hotel of the night: @Mind Executive Suite

This hotel is always one of my returned choice which fit my 3C: Cheap, Convenient, Comfy.

Next day- RAINY DAY.

Walked around the Central Plaza. I SUPER REGRET I DIDN'T BUY THE SUPER YENG SPORTBRA there... EMO... *this concluded that not everything is selling in Chatuchak coz I can't find any of them there*


OK,LUNCH TIME. Honestly, now think back, this trip seems like a makan trip more.

This is a must try place as this is a famous lunch place among the locals.

PRANAM 9 KAI YANG

Add: 54,56 Soi Ramkhamhaeng 12 Yak 2, Huamark, Bangkapi, 10240 Bangkok, Thailand

Tel: 02-318-3939 , 081-447-3897

Operating hour: 10am-8:30pm

Pranam 9 Kai Yang served the greatest grilled chicken in Bangkok. It was founded by Mr. Sumate Torsahakul, who was in the field of real estate entrepreneur and construction business, however, his business was closed after the Asian financial crisis in 1997. He loves to cook and there goes the famous Pranam 9 Kai Yang today.





This place is huge which I think can cater to approx. 1000 pax.

Looking at the menu, we ordered like they are going to serve us free food. We just point to any photo that looks good until the waitress actually gave us a gentle reminder that we weren't came in group but just 2 lol!

 Kai Yang means grilled chicken in Thai. So this is a MUST try here.

Grilled Chicken.



I always go for fresh spring roll whenever I spot it in the menu. I LIKE THIS! The sauce has generous amount of peanuts!

Fresh Spring Roll.



Spicy Minced Pork Salad.



Fish Covered with Salt. My all time favorite in Thailand.



Tom Yum Soup.



Som Tam.



Glutinous Rice. You can choose normal or glutinous.



MUST ORDER!!!! SUPER NICE!

Coconut Yam Dessert. It taste abit like bubur chacha XD.



Ice Kacang. This probably a skip here. Taste bit like cough syrup.



After the good lunch, we headed to the Train Night Market Ratchada also known as Talad Nud Rod Fai which is just minutes away. It is located right behind Esplanade Cineplex on the busy Ratchadapisek Road. This place is similar to the train night market in Srinakarin.



OOOOH I LOVE THE OPEN CONCEPT BARBER SHOP THERE!!!



The hairstylist are real good!

OK.. HERE, I REGRET THAT I DIDNT BUY HAIR EXTENSIONS!!!!!!... SERIOUS REGRET GAO GAO. The price literally kurang one 0 at the back.... T_T...

NEXT DAY: RAIN. AGAIN.

Good enough that the rain stop after the morning. We just take our own sweet time chilled at the hotel until the rain stop. Then, head for lunch.

ANOTHER MUST TRY LUNCH PLACE.

P' Aor, Soi Petchaburi

Address: 68/51 Soi Petchaburi 5, Between Soi 5 – 7, Bangkok
Contact: +66 2612 9013
Operating Hour: 10am – 10pm daily（close on Monday） 

We took BTS to Phaya Thai, followed the map by walking through a few small alley. I was walking together with the lil one or else it is not recommended to be walking alone around these small valleys.



I am sure that you wouldn't have a problem to find the shop once you reached that area. There is a huge sticker of the lady owner in front of the shop which can be easily spotted.

Going into the shop make me felt like I was in Penang. Look left, look right, look front , look back.. all speak Penang Hokkien!... Except the table with the few hunks were from Kuala Lumpur. Overall, all Malaysians.



The lil one brought me here.

He told me that if we don't eat this as if like the tourist never eat Char Kuey Teow in Penang.

It was very crowded.  While waiting for our lobster, lil one went to the next shop to get some chicken. We had a very good starter!!! Get some when you are waiting for your dish to be serve too!



BACK TO P'AOR.

They offering 3 sizes of lobsters, the big costs 1200 baht (about RM136), medium 899 baht (about RM102) and small 699 baht (about RM80).



We ordered the M size.



Bigger than my palm. My palm is not jokingly huge.



This dish of lobster TomYam comes with glass noodles, 2 stuffed crabs, 1 big stuffed squid, 2 mussels, 1 piece of salmon and 1 whole poached egg. 

The lobster was cooked in oyster mushroom soup to enhance the its flavor. Due to its size, they required at least 20 minutes to be well cooked.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH DONT ASK ABOUT THE TASTE ANYMORE JUST GO AND TRY! YOU WONT REGRET :)

Took an Uber to our next destination. In Bangkok, if travelling around with 2 pax or above , do not hesitate to just call an Uber . Cheaper and most important need not to be sweat or suffering yourself from one hand take an umbrella and the other hand take an camera and then left no hand to take food... ;)

Our next stop: PLATINUM MALL. This place is to shop for our clothes for the next few days.

Basically we brought only 2 pairs of outfits in a huge luggage bag each and we were so prepared for the shopping spree here.

Platinum Mall is a place where you definitely need a good reflexology session after.

MB MASSAGE.

We actually walked along the whole street and look for one which has the most customers.

They have special promotion for foot massage (60 minutes) at only 200 baht before 7pm. We managed to get the good deal on time.

RAINING AGAIN.

Good to rain while we are having our self pampering session. So good to take a nap zzzz...

Alright, dinner time.

We Uber to Mahboonkrong (MBK Shopping Centre).

Bangkok's legendary MBK has two food courts: Fifth Food Avenue on the fifth floor, and the more frenetic MBK Food Centre on the sixth.

I prefer the one on the sixth.

Bought the ticket at the counter and start hunting for food.

I wanted to order the Kueh Chap but it went out of order jor.. so I just order the Squid Ball Kuey Teow.



Pork Noodle.



Famous Braised Pork Leg Rice.



Fried Oyster.



Mango Sticky Rice.



These are all the orders I usually made whenever I dine there.

The night was beautifully ended by my personal hair show session =D



I seriously have a thought of selling hair extensions as my side business now. I LOVE HAIR EXTENSIONS TO MAX!



NEXT DAY- WAS SUNNY...... and RAIN again.



Checked out from the hotel and we gonna bring along our half empty luggage bags to Chatuchak Weekend Market.

I didn't take any photo during our Chatuchak session as I was busy pulling luggage bag on my left hand and busy buying things with my right hand XD..

We got ourselves a not so good foot massage (250 baht/60minutes)  in one of the massage shop  after all the walk.

Then we continue walked to the ArtBox.



Artbox Bangkok is a cool new pop-up market with a difference: the stalls (not all of them) are housed in giant metal shipping containers which can be moved around the city.







This beverage photo is like a trend. So we bought and tried. mmm... just a trend I would say.





Done the night market walk. Head back to our next hotel for check-in.

We have an early flight at 7am so we checked in to the hotel which has a linked bridge to the Dong Mueng Airport. SUPER CONVENIENT and we can save some good sleeping hours too before depart.

Amari Dong Mueng Airport Hotel




Seems like really a good choice for travelers who have early morning flight. We took quite some time for the check in as they really have a lot of reservations.













We had a good rest before our flight.

Another good trip for 2016 :)

See you again next month , Bkk!
