Bangkok Valentine's Weekend: Day 2

It's our 2nd day in Bangkok and we haven't been to any historical place. But then again, we'll never go wrong with shopping. So we headed to the Chatuchak weekend market. The place was extremely huge, just like Divisoria. Everything's sold in really low prices. When I say, everything, I meant it! From food, to clothes, to kitchenware, to pets! Name it and it's definitely there.

cute!!!

I really wanted to take one home...

Street food are cheap but are good, plus the Thai iced tea is to die for. Pad Thai is just a street food there, and it's really yummy. Got to taste all of those for less than 200 baht. Then we're back to shopping. We bought tops for just 100 baht, souvenirs that cost around 40-70 baht, and dresses for 200 baht. I don't wanna recall how much I've spent there, but I was so happy. What I brought home as pasalubong for my friends were accessories, tops, and spicy tamarind! Oh, I can't get enough of spicy tamarind haha!

time for lunch!

Anyway, after Chatuchak, we headed to Siam Square to shop at H&M. I got a nice aztec dress for just 500 baht. We had a light dinner at the food court of Siam Paragon, then we headed back to the hotel.

so we're back!

Thai crepe ;)

Oh, that Beckham TVC! :))

At the ground floor of our hotel is a massage service. We experienced 1 hour of real Thai massage! Oh my God, it's really good. I felt relaxed and energized at the same time.  

Anyway, after the massage, we fixed up and headed out. We're supposed to meet a friend somewhere, but she kinda ditched us. The worst part was, we've spent around 300 baht for 3 different cabs just to get us where we had to go. The first one was a really rude driver. He dropped us at the red light district when it's actually not where we're headed. The second one was really nice but we we're on our way to a different place with the same name, so we had to go back. When we finally arrived to the club where we're supposed to meet my friend, the place was kinda dumpy and it looked like nothing's happening there, so we just left and headed to Sukhumvit 11, where the nice clubs were at. I used the Guidepal Bangkok app to choose which club to go. So we went to Levels. It's on the 6th floor of ALoft Hotel. There were a lot of tourists, locals, and expats there; and it looked kinda upscale. No door charge, yey! But an average drink would cost around 250 baht. The drinks might be a bit pricey but they're quite strong. I was able to make my Long Island last for 2 hours but managed to be a bit tipsy LOL! So there's a reason why it's called Levels. There were different rooms in the place playing different music genres. Outside was a sky lounge with lounge music. Inside, there were a couple of tables on the sides, there's a bar and a dance floor at the center. Hiphop/RnB and Pop were being played. Then in another room, house and techno music were being played. Upstairs were the restrooms and VIP rooms.

classy

perfect!

Aztec dress, Snake-skin Clutch all by H&M

what a crazy photo bomber! LOL

our dinner/breakfast haha

After a few hours at the club, we headed to Angel Diner, just beside ALoft. It's quite pricey though, but we liked the food. Our second day was definitely a cosmo day! Shopping, food tripping, and clubbing/drinking were a must every time I travel. Well, that's how a city girl like me does it! :)

Ok, here's our estimated expense for the day, considering all the misfortunes that we encountered that bloated our transportation expense (shopping not included):

1. Food (lunch, snacks, dinner) - ThB 1,000

2. Transportation - ThB 700

3. Massage for 2pax - ThB 300 

3. Drinks/Party - ThB 600

TOTAL: ThB 2,600 = PhP 3,625 (Php 1,813 each)

city girl :)
