November trip to Bangkok [Part I]

Hey lovelies! ♥♥♥
In early November, I went to Bangkok to shop for CNY clothes! I went before last year, but it was middle of the year :) Went there for 5 days! I definitely bought more clothings than last year, but still wasn't enough. Mum didn't allow me to buy certain clothes cause she said I will look fat in it -_-

This time, I put quite an effort in researching on places to visit in Bangkok, not just the usual touristy places. I think I make a good tour guide! I planned the family trip to Korea last few years too! Keke :)



Reached Bangkok at 3pm. The weather in Bangkok during the year end is cooler and less sunny than KL. 



Stayed at Novotel Platinum again :) We can't compromise on hotels, this has got to be the best hotel in Bangkok! Super convenient! 






Starbucks right downstairs the hotel. Bangkok still has Hojicha, I think it's all year round on their menu :/



Bought this top on the first night. Handbag belongs to Katie. Top and bag is 100baht / RM10 only! Dirt cheap...Before that I was contemplating whether to get NERD or GEEK, because I think I'm both. Lol figured that I'm more of a nerd than a geek.



The unglamorous behind-the-scenes. I had to iron it at night in the hotel room, it's too crinkly. 



Day 2! 
No make-up make up! Just eyeliner and lotsa mascara. People always ask me if I draw my eyebrows everyday, the fact is...No, I don't. It's semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo. I made them at Empro, it claims to last for 2 years. Pain is bearable.



Free buffet breakfast every morning! Novotel Platinum has the best buffet spread! Not much variety, but all the food tastes delicious! I was so happy that they had broccoli and cauliflowers every morning :D




The more secluded corner of the buffet place. Our favourite spot :)




Upside-down elephant defying gravity! 



Novotel Platinum is right on top/beside Platinum Fashion Mall. No need to take taxis or go thru the jam ^_^



Black Canyon coffee is cheap and famous in Bangkok! We have very few branches in KL...Their coffee in BKK is cheaper by half from Starbucks.



Visited the much-raved about Asiatique for the first time.   By taxi is roughly 300baht / RM30 per ride. We were lucky there was no jam, we went on a Sunday night. I read many reviews saying that the jam in the area is congested most of the time, but went we reached the place, there wasn't many cars in sight! Many people suggested taking the BTS and ferry ride to avoid the jam. Instead, we took taxis to and fro to the hotel ^_^





The place is like a outdoor, cooler version of Chatuchak Market. The place is filled with teenagers and tourists! 



Many cute stalls! Tried their apple jasmine tea. So so good *_*



Dinner : Plentiful choices! There's Asian cuisine, Western, and Japanese too!



Thai style fish cakes!



We actually ordered fried egg, and they mistaken it for fried rice. Lol their fried rice is really good too..



DEAR GOD! Tom yam everywhere in Thailand is delicious XD
The difference between tom yam in KL and Bangkok is that, in KL, the tom yams are always really spicy. In Bangkok, the spiciness is mild. I typically love eating spicy food :)



Asiatique is located along the Me Nam Chao Phraya river.



This place is the best dating spot in Bangkok..So many classy restaurants ♥♥





Ferry ride is free, but I don't wanna end up with a face and hair full of smelling salty..Haha



Two-storey Japanese restaurant! You can eat at outside the balcony too!




A must try in Thailand! Young coconut ice cream for 40 baht / RM4. It has bits of coconut in it! ♥


Divided this Bangkok trip post to two parts!
The next part will be posted in a few days! ^__^


Signing off ♥
