Mini holiday trip to Bangkok: Day 1

Hey guys! I've been pretty lazy to blog for quite some time now! And we decided to take turns to update the blog about our holiday trip! And first up is me! I'll cover Day 1 and 4, and day 2 and 3 will be covered by my sisters! :) So for now, let's go! :D

Day 1 has been a pretty short day because our flight was around 4.15pm, which is neither here nor there! We took a free cab to the airport because my parents are HSBC card holders or something like that :D Checked-in at the airport, dumped our 'heavy' luggages and off we went to find food!
We checked-in at Terminal 1 so we went hunting for food places! We were choosing Aston or Parasdise Inn, and of course since my family is very traditional, we went for chinese food! :D:D
Went through the gates, got up the plane, took off and here we go! Since it was a 2hours journey, it was 4.15pm and we got the tickets for really really cheap, we thought we wouldn't be served with food! Well, I thought we would be served with food but we had to pay, but guess what?! They had packet meals given to us! :O Super shocking, but yes! We were so bloated by then and just ate very little. 

1 hour has passed and we were so bored. The plane ride was horrible, it is either the pilot sucks or the plane just can't balance properly. It was the worst 2hours plane ride ever! Throughout the entire journey, the plane just kept going through 'turbulence', I think its just the pilot who is bad at flying the plane. I felt nausea after the first hour and felt like vomiting. Well, my brother did vomit in the toilet and we did try to sleep away the feeling.
After awhile, we couldn't take it and I took out my laptop to use. And of course since there's a photobooth in the computer, we, as girls, will see if our hair is messed up. And when I passed the computer over to daffy and desi to look at their hair, the guy who sits behind me kept staring at the computer!! Super freaky! And being the cheeky them, they decided to take a photo. Hahahaha! Hilarious! 

Finally we touched down and we headed straight for the hotel! Of course taking some maps with us along the way. It's us being tourists :D:D Hehehe :):)
We reached the hotel and after checking in, Desi, the planner of the trip, started asking questions about the places in bangkok and all! And being my cheeky brother, he keeps joking with the receptionists :D
TADAAAA! Our room for the next 3 nights! :):) It's pretty good for a $179 package (including flights)! Quite impressive! But the hotel is quite far from most of the prominent places in bangkok! But it's okay, the cabs are super cheap! :D

After putting down our stuffs in the hotel, resting for some time, we headed to Chinatown to eat dinner! :D:D We went to eat at some sharkfin/seafood restaurant that is really really famous and my parents always go there to eat whenever they're in bangkok! Just look the yummy photos of the food later :D Hopefully you don't go hungry :D
Waiting for the yummy food! :D:D
Shark fin soup!
Fish maw soup!
SUPER HUGE gong gongs! I forgot what they called this, but it's definitely not called gong gong! 
Crab tang hoon! Yums! :D
This is the 2nd most disappointing dish! Steam scallops in glass noodles! Look at the amount of glass noodles on the scallop! I know why they put so much glass noodles! Because the size of the scallops are pathetic!!! :(:(
Most disappointing dish for the night! Grilled squid! We thought it would taste so good because it is grilled, but there is no taste to it! :( Super sad.
Desi eating the 'appetizer' that was in the center of the table - spring onions!! Super shocking that they just eat spring onions like that! :O
Last dish of the night! Prawn tang hoon! :D
After dinner, we went to walk around China Town to see the food and stuffs! Firstly, the road is massively jammed!! And the way the drivers drove! THUMBS UP TO THEM. If I was a driver there, I would definitely die of heartattack!! Hahahaha :D:D
My dad got conned by this woman! She sold us super expensive lychees and my dad bought 2kg of them! :( Super sad, but well, it's okay! So e walked the entire street and soon later it started to drizzle, so we took a cab back to our hotel and rested for the night! :):)

The next post will be up ASAP! :D BYEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
