I've always loved taking lonely bus rides, driving down the freeway alone, eating my meals alone, shopping alone. But taking a plane to a (not so) foreign land alone and taking the Airport Link to the city alone while shopping at Siam Paragon alone... I really can get used to this!
It helps that I'm a light traveller and didn't have any check-in luggage. Hence, I was on the Airport Link towards the city in no time.
Breakfast at Fuji, Siam Paragon.
I always forget that I'm a miserable-eater these days and never fail to order portions that I cannot finish.
Especially at THB360 (S$16) for such a large bento, I make the common mistake of a Singaporean going "cheap-cheap" and just order without considering if the food would go to waste.
Anyway, after breakfast, headed to the hotel to meet Kexin and it was off to CHATUCHAT MARKET as we searched for items that we wanted: Pets stuff for her cat, and wedding stuff for me.
At Chatuchat Market, it's hard to resist snacking while shopping.
Check out the special flavoured icecream: Thai Iced Tea
Super love it!
Kexin had Coconut flavoured icecream that was refreshing for the hot weather.
Didn't spend much time at Chatuchat Market due to the killer weather.
Headed to TERMINAL 21 at Asoke for some shopping with air-con.
Found a shop that sells the type of clock which I want for the balcony at the new home
And also a cafe that sell awesome Coconut Meringue Pie
Desserie Sweet Cafe is a small bakery shop located on 2nd floor.
Try it when you're there!
It was Kexin's 1st time there, so I persuaded her to take some photos:
The shopping mall is a themed-mall with each level designed to reflect different countries.
I have been rather camera-shy recently (except for cam-whoring alone), hence, Kexin managed to only get 2 photos of me.
Love how we both each have a photo of us poking fun at the poor statue.
By the way, the big bag on my hand is indeed...
Around 30 packets of Taokaenoi Seaweed!
It is madness, but it's a must buy!
Another must try is at "HAVE A ZEED" located at the 4th floor.
Our dinner place for the night serves Phad Thai Spaghetti & Green Curry Spaghetti.
We then ended the night chilling at the hotel lounge due to the sudden downpour.
The next day was shopping at the Platinum Wholesale Mall before heading to the airport.
When at Platinum Mall, always eat this:
Stewed Pork with Rice.
This rice makes the 4 hours flight to Bangkok worth every bit of it!
Anyway, the trip home was alone again as we said our good-byes at the Bangkok Airport: She was flying Thai-airways, while I was with Flyscoot.
