Day 4: Bangkok CHATUCHAK Weekend Market!

Today is our 4th day here in Bangkok. After a good sleep last night, we are now ready to hussle. Let's go to Chatuchak Weekend Market. The ever famous and biggest market in Thailand where you can find almost everything.

We didn't wake up early today because the market would open at 10 AM. We had our yummy breakfast at the hostel. The price were a bit steep but they cook well so worth the price.






After preparation, we are now ready to go to the market. From our hostel, we rode Sam Yan Mrt going to Chatuchak Mrt. The fare was 40 THB. When we arrived there, the weather was a bit hot, good thing, most of their stalls have big roof. I would suggest that you wear relaxing clothes and shoes. From the Mrt station, we had to walk a bit going to the main entrance of the market. Also, you have to remember the station number where you entered so that you will not get lost if it's time to go home. The market is really huge and you can ask for a map from the information booth. I forgot where we found the information but I believe it was close to #23-27.








We had a great time checking around a lot of stuff in the market. I would suggest that if you like something, you go ahead and haggle a bit but if it's still pricey, you can check for other nearby stores but make sure you buy it because you might not be able to find it anymore. Also, when you buy stuff there, make sure to double check because some are not in good quality. I bought key holder and a wallet, both had missing parts. So yeah, it's better to check it. Just don't be carried away with the low price. Lol. You can also have a foot massage anywhere in the market because they are available almost every alley. The cost would range around 200 to 250 thb from 30 mins to an hour. You can also try their famous coconut halo2x. 😊.










In my opinion, the place is worth the hype if you are a shopping addict but for those who do not like excessive walking, just stay at home. Haha. Going home, we rode the Chatuchak Mrt going to Sam yan mrt for 42 THB. We decided to just go home immediately to rest because we were so tired. We wanted to relax and spend some time in our hostel. Lol. During the evening, we decided to walk around the street of Silom and ate BBQ as our dinner for the night. :)




We went home really full! The street food was really delicious! :)

The Pain Of Waiting

"I want to get married and have babies by the age of 27 or 28. I need to have my own house and stable job before starting a family", I said to myself. I can still remember when I said that. I was 16 years old at that time.  Fast forward. Now, I am already 29 years old. I'm not married and I don't have kids. I do have work but I know it's not yet stable. I don't have a house of my own or a car I paid out of my pocket. All I have now are from my parents. I just could not believe that at the age of 29 I have not reached my dreams. Some, maybe, but not all.

Singapore Trip : Day Three!

Image
Morning Starts at Singapore Zoo              I can still remember the time where we got lost even if we followed the right direction because we didn't ride at the correct bus stop. We tried asking a middle aged woman but she seems arrogant. That's fine. :). After all trials and sweat, we finally arrived at Singapore Zoo.

Our Journey To Tagaytay

Image
Dissapointed. One thing I'd described our trip to Tagaytay. I always imagine Tagaytay as one of my must visit places since most  Filipino  artists usually go here to unwind and relax. My expectations were not met but not really worst in everything. We had some spots where I considered as worth it and some were not. Let me tell you my story.
