DAY 3 BANGKOK

Met Foo at hotel lobby at 10am, and then she took us to visit The Grand Palace. It is not allowed to wear shorts and sleeveless to The Grand Palace and we all knew that. But PY thought her shorts were long enough so finally she had to borrow Sarong for getting in :D It is my first time to see her wearing like that!! So funny! :D


The Grand Palace is very big and imprssive!! We visited the temple, walked around and took pics. But it was too hot and too sunny so we didn't stay outside too long. I don't want to get tanned anymore!!
.
Foo took us to another temple to see the Big Buddha. PY said this Buddha is the biggest lying buddha statue in Bangkok.


Then we had Thai Style Hainanese chicken rice for lunch. It is very famous and the guide book strongly recommends it. I think it was good but not that special.


After lunch Foo took us to Platnium to shopping, this shopping mall is like a local shopping centre, I bought a very nice boxer!! It was 1500 bhats and we bargained with the shopper and he offered us discount!! I bought this boxer for 900 bhats :D

Then we went to the other shopping mall, Foo's sister had an accident suddenly and she had to go. So we shopped by ourselves. We bought a lot of things in Boots and Big C!!

We didn't want to carry so many things so we went back to hotel to put down our stuff and then went to China Town to buy some souvenirs and have dinner. We bought a lot of snacks!!

We had dinner at a Chinese restaurant. We ordered shark fins soup, big prawns, vegetable and sea cucumber and bird's nest as dessert. I think the food in Bangkok has rather strong taste than in Hong Kong. They are very spicy, salty and sweet!!

After dinner, we bought some durian but it is not allowed to eat in the hotel so we ate in front of the hotel LOL The bellboy laughted at us :P The durain was cheap and it was very delicious!!
