3 Days 2 Nights in Bangkok Itinerary

We booked our flight to bangkok with Thai airway for $228.6 per pax, there was an additional charge of CCY conversion fee of 1% of my purchase price of the flight tickets. I was using OCBC 365 Credit card, and the bank told me the charge was due to the merchant is in thailand. Heard from friend who use Amex to pay with Thai airway does not incurred such charges.

We booked our insurance with AXA citibank for $12.50 per pax and order the AIS data sim card with changirecommend for $13. We collected the sim card at the arrival hall, where the collection counter is just right infront of the lift.

Upon arrival at the Suvarnabhumi Airport was 9.30am local time, we clear the custom and collected our baggage and head down via the travellator to take a cab. Since there are 4 of us and luaggage, we press for the taxi van which can fit in all our luaggage. The taxi driver was extremely friendly and it cost us 800 baht to arrive at our hotel. The journey was about 30 mins. We manage to check in at 11am despite the checkin time was 3pm.

After settled down in our room, we head to pratunam for the popular wanton mee. Soi 19, personally I dont find it nice, but the chili was good it cost 100 baht for a bowl with about 3 mouthful of noodle, is actually more expensive than the wanton mee in Singapore.

We head down to platinum mall for shopping, level 1 & 2 are for ladies, level 3 and 4 you will start to see some mens stuff while level five and six are kids section and accessories the top floor level 7 is the kopitiam, purchase the card. We spend about 3 hours in the mall and walk toward the Central world.

A must eat at level 7 After you, the Shibuya toast is nice, the milo shave ice is great. While the crepe are  not speculating, advise to give their crepe a miss. While taking the Q number, we went Isetan to shop on Triumph while waiting for the Q number. In a event if you miss your Q, you need to take another number to Q again, because this is what happen to us. Baked Cheese tart is just at the front of the After you stall, and there is no Q compare to the one in Singapore.

On our last day, we woke up early to head down the SaengCharoen Beauty Plus located further down from glow hotel. We are there to buy soap, kbrothers brand, soap with collagen. It is pretty strong and recommended for face skin with ance and blackhead skin type. Personally I use it for body as it is too dry for me to use on face. They are selling 10 baht each at 60g, actually, along the roadside, some stall do sells, but the pharmacy has more variety of flavor.

We head down to platinum mall foodcourt to eat and did our last minute shopping. BFF need to get ice box and we decided to drop the plan of going the unicorn cafe as they close on monday and open only at 12pm.

Along the way to big C, at the corner stall after crossing the highway, there is a duck noodle stall which sells duck blood one of my fravorite, i takeaway a packet for 40 baht.

A must try of the icecream, we bought one strawberry chocolate with cheesecake flavor it is so good and it is located at the main entrance of the platinum mall.

We took tuktuk to the nearest train station ratchaprarop for 100 baht. Since we have luaggae with us, so 2 to 1 tuk tuk. The uncle is very friendly and offer help to carry our luaggae for us. He even helped us to take a group photo when we reached the station. It took us about 5 mins to reach the station.

We buy the airport railway towards airport for 40 baht per pax and 30 mins ride to arrive at airport. I bought mango sticky rice in airport before check in for 150 bhat, after clearing the custom, you can also buy mango sticky rice for 180 baht.
