Sawasdee, Bangkok

I'll be going on another trip again, this time in Bangkok from January 26 to February 1.

The last time I went to Bangkok was way back 2006 when I attended a seminar for the company. Now, I go back as a traveler, keen on exploring the rich culture that Bangkok has to offer.

After a quick research, I found out that there are a lot of places that I can go to in Thailand but because of the riots that happened a couple of months back, I wanted to stay close to their capital, Bangkok.

During our last trip, we were able to visit the some temples and have a river cruise and mostly shopping due to limited time. Now, I plan to include the floating market, elephant ride/show, Siam Niramit and Ayutthaya.

So far the rough itinerary is:
January 26 (wed) - Arrive in Bangkok - Check-In
January 27 (Thurs) - Lunch Buffet at Baiyoke Sky then City Tour at the different temples then Swan Lum Night Market
January 28 (Fri) - Floating Market
Jan 29 (Sat) - Chatuchak (AM) - City malls in the afternoon
Jan 30 (Sun) - Chatuchak (AM) - City malls in the afternoon
Jan 31 (Mon) - Ayutthaya and Bang-In Place
Feb 1 (Tues) - flight back home

KRIS KRINGLE: Something Big

I never thought it would be hard to find something BIG for Php 100 pesos ($2) I short listed the following for my fashionable friend: ...a big box of tissue (useful) ...a big toblerone (but this is WAY over budget) ...a big trash bin ...a case of big oatmeal cookies (last resort) ...a big mirror ...a big bookmark (which i couldn't find anywhere) ...a BIG beer (unrelated) ...a big organizer it's quite difficult really. But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

Ironic Cafe Monaco

Tucked in one of the building along Banawe is a quaint restaurant called Cafe Monaco. From the outside, the interiors looked cozy and perfect for hanging out with friends but I was quite surprised when I stepped inside to find out that most tables were occupied by families. And people actually are willing to wait for their turn to be seated! Kudos for that. My basis for choosing a restaurant is based on the line/wait. If the line is long or the waiting list is long, then it must be worth trying. We ate dinner at this restaurant yesterday evening and I actually loved it! It's a bit weird though that the name of the restaurant is Cafe Monaco but they serve a lot of Korean dishes. My aunt said that the owner of the place married a Korean hence the menu with Korean dishes. We tried bibimbap and at first bite, it was okay but the more you chew the better it gets. Healthy too, with little meat in the dish. Prices are friendly on the pocket too so I will definitely go back to try out thei...
