Rating: 8/10

thai food taste pretty much the same all over bangkok...mouth watering! in fact, the uglier and cheaper the place, the better it taste... the swankier ones are usually catered to foreigners and less authentic, i guess... still, after 8 straight days, i havnt had thai since and that was more than 4 months ago...

Hua Hin Beach

spent the day at the beach...
we're no beach people (my mum went fully covered head to toe plus wide rimmed hats) but it seems the thai isnt either...
the beach is super crowded with beach chair and no sand left uncovered, yet there's about ten measly people in the water.... XD







i expected to get sick from the food, but didnt.. so that's a good thing...

Thomson - Rama 1, Bangkok

If you dont like to do the touristy thing in Thailand, at least come see the Jim Thomson house (beautiful traditional house + intriguing missing person tale + antiques) !
If you cant be bothered with museums, then you still have to come for a meal in the restaurant...
If you cant make it to Thailand, they just opened in Dempsey, Singapore... how convenient... :D









Rosella Iced & w/o
the latest anti-oxidant craze...


Iced Lemongrass


Iced Coffee
what coffee is it that the thai used?? a lil different from vietnamese coffee, a lil like japanese iced coffee...




Grapefruit Salad
whenever in Thomson, you have to order the salad!




Chicken Curry


Salmon Spring Roll


Tom Yum


Ice Cream
its like a chendol ice cream... with jackfruit, chendol and coconut... yum yum

Floating Market - Damnoen Saduak

"floating market = floating tourist rubbish" (LUXE city guides)
XD

well, if anything, you get to sit on the James Bond - that long tail boat (not recommended of you have a bad back), see how their village people lives & see how they juggle a tray from the middle of the canal all the way to land... (but it is quite a long way from the city and you have to set off before the sun rises...)

with all the food there, am not going to complain....

Parking Lot Snacks

we see food, we see steam, we drool, we wantttt!!!!!
our day guide buys us a whole bundle of these stuff because we look super excited and interested... but one bite and we all turn silent... XD... its practically sticky rice + black bean and that's it............................ not sweet, not salty. ??!?!??!?!?!??!?!

Ban Khun Mae - Siam Square

*as recommended by Sa's colleague

Siam Square is very happening at night; walking around in the evening there was probably about 3-4 different live performance going on... pity the shops were closed :(



Larb
spicy glass noodle salad
most people are more familiar with som tum/ papaya salad when it comes to thai salad... this is spicy glass noodle usually with a choice of meat/seafood... very very spicy. it's awesome... i tried my first one in sydney (that crocodile thai place on the chinatown end of george st!) have been hooked since... :D~~~~

Mixed stir fried veggies
nothing special, we simply need the fiber... we each put on 3kgs from the week long stay... :P

Chicken in Pandan Leaves

Tom Yum
there's 2 type of tom yum, red and white... white despite looking safer, is much more potent so proceed with caution! its less spicy, more sour and tongue-burning....

Fried Fish with tamarind and spice

Yam ball with coconut milk served warm
this is that thai desert that came with egg yolk... we ordered ours without, for obvious reasons... its really nice this way..i dont think i have the stomach to try one with eggs...

Steamed Cassava with coconut milk

Mango with Sticky rice

Rating: 8.5/10
i believe this is more northern thailand cuisine, much like Chat Thai in Sydney

ps. i've noticed they're really stingy with the sticky rice

Cafe Ice - Chatuchak Market

*bit unsure of the name

so it's that market on every guidebook out there
we spent hours walking around and bought one weaved basket... yes, that's it...
there's a pet section where they sell tiny little rabbits - absolutely adorable
point is, there really isnt a need to get to the market at all... except there's....



Mango Smoothies
-wouldnt let me take a picture without him in it... !@#$%^&*&^%$#@

Fresh Coconut
we finished like 4-5 of these along with the other massive drinks... its perfect for the weather! you'll find these all over the city... and with the advance agriculture, it taste way better than ones back home....

Thai Iced Tea

Pad Thai
have stoppped ordering pad thai a long time ago since everywhere i go seem to serve a soggy mess. This one is by pasta standard, al dente!
Rating: 10/10!!!!!

Mango sticky rice
