I Love Bangkok

Despite the current situation or perhaps I should say… State of Emergency, we went ahead with our original plan to visit Thailand. We read so much about the protest in Bangkok and even our own government informed Singaporeans to postpone their trips.

The airplane was not as crowded but it was certainly comfortable as we got our own space and wasn’t that noisy. I enjoyed the flight very much than usual. When we arrived in Bangkok, we looked out for our hotel limo as we heard it was safer to use them instead of the usual hotel limo which was many times cheaper.


It was our 1st time taking the hotel limo in any country and it was quite an experience I must say. The driver was professional and the Benz was definitely more comfortable than the usual van we took. They served us water in the car and the 40 minutes ride was fantastic.

We arrived at Conrad Bangkok and the hotel was situated in a business district which is pretty far from the main shopping paradise. We were escorted up to our room and it was just simply great. The room was big and I simply loved the bathroom. Our view wasn’t great though as it was surrounded by office buildings.





After freshening up, we went out shopping right away. Took the hotel shuttle bus to the nearest train station and took their MRT. It was pretty convenient to travel around in Bangkok with that service without using taxi. The city was not too crowded and it definitely made shopping much easier than before. There were no queues at the shopping mall cashier and no need to fight for fitting rooms.


Our 1st dinner was at our all time favourite Coca Steamboat. It was much cheaper to eat there than back home. We ordered quite a bit of dishes and we ate at our own pace. It was so good and enjoyable.



The night ended off lying down on the heavenly bed… snnnzzzzzzzzz……

Of cos the limo is good lah! Conrad got standard one ok. Actually throughout the world all Conrad hotels should have the water as part of the limo service. It is our international standard.
