Day 4 BKK (Don Muang International Airport) > SG

Image
The last day of our trip. Did nothing much except lazing in the hotel and then check out of the hotel for airport. Our flight was 3.50pm (Thailand time) and we started out journey @ 12.30pm as we were worried about traffic jam on the road but there wasn't. Traffic was quite smooth as what the hotel receptionist had mentioned. If you are heading for  Don Muang International Airport , please be prepared for the crowd! We were shocked by the long queue to the immigration counter. Took about 40 minutes to clear the immigration counter. Our friend went to another the BKK international airport and it was a breeze for him. There are shops at the airport for last minute shopping but the pricing is much higher as compared to the shopping mall. Smooth flight back to Singapore via Scoot (Tiger Air). --------------------------------------------------- Hotel Review Stayed @  Citin Pratunam Hotel Bangkok by Compass Hospitality The room  1....

Day 3 After Day 2 trip with our driver, we took another one day BKK trip with him. We started the day at 7am. Our driver told us we got to start this early in order to be in time for the Train Market and Floating Market. Had a very light breakfast at hotel with self prepared meal (instant porridge, mango sticky rice and cream puff) for breakfast! On the way to our driver's car. Our first destination is the  Maeklong Railway Market.   A lot of people. Everyone came to see, buy, eat, take photo (especially when the train came) Small walking path, with vendors on both sides Some of the passengers from the train ride alighted to the Railway Market This shop has delicious roasted meat. Our driver highly recommend us. My Roast Pork with Char Siew and Chicken for lunch. Thumbsup! Our next destination was the Floating market damnoen saduak but we gave it a miss after much consideration and went straight to the next location. We en...

Day 2 Bangkok > Ayutthaya > Bangkok

Image
Day 2 Started the day around 9am+ looking for breakfast around nearby area.  A lot to choose from and we couldn't decide! Not sure what this is but it was nice! Crispy on the outside, chewy inside. Topped with sweet chilli sauce, reminds me of png kueh without fillings. Wanton Mee from a stall along the roadside.  So nice that we ordered another bowl to fill our stomach. After breakfast, time to head for Ayutthaya . We had initially planned on taking the train to Ayutthaya.  Based on various travelling sites, we planned to take the train from Bangkok Train Station to Ayutthaya  (the second class seats is priced @ THB $245 ~325+  per person with fixed seats allocation or a third class seats with free standing at THB $15 ). The journey varies from 1 hr 30 mins to 2 hr 30mins and we factored in: 1. Rent a bicycle to tour around or hire a tuk tuk for short trips within Ayuthaya. 2. Recommended to head for the station for the trai...
