China Town (Bangkok-Thailand)

Last week, me and my friends go to China Town in Bangkok it's really far far away from our dorm and we are lost again and again (it's really like 2 PM song) *kidding* 

First, we take MRT to Hua Lampong Station, for your information you can take a bus to Hua Lampong station from chatunchak or Siam. If you want to go from siam you can take 602 (if i'm not wrong). And It's really far from MRT station (trust me) it's around 1 km when I use my map to go back from boat station (river side) and our way to go back home is only by Bus to siam or by boat to asiatique and we choose to use a boat back to nearest BTS station. 

P.S : if you get lost just see the map around and just search the nearest BTS or MRT station. you can take a taxi if you really don't know where to go but still turn on your GPS. 

I really expected more than that, but you can buy a lot of stuff at china town with a cheap price, most of them will give you a cheaper one if you buy more than 2 item. :) It's really just a market and a lot of GOLD shop. I dont really know about that but the shop always crowd with people, maybe the price is quite cheap. I don't really suggest you to go there because everywhere is too far if you walk around, you must to take a taxi (most of the people said that). 

In our way to China Town we cross the road and saw a really big Komodo (I think) and I take a photo of that things but I scared, and we met with a boy who cannot speak thai or english, I think he's korean and we go to the same place but he said he don't know how to go to china town :") It's really sad when you travel and get lost and no one can tell you where to go and when you alr in that place it's really a waste when you don't walk around and buy something (for me it's to make me remember that I alr been there).  I usually update the photo in my facebook account so, because most of the photo still in my camera so I'll let you know later :)

Songkran Festival (Bangkok)

Finally I alr give up to play water splash at Songkran Festival :)

Okay, now I'll let you know about Songkran Festival :) for more detail about songkran festival you can check in wikipedia (click here).

First, you must to prepare everything like a dark clothes and waterproof case plus sunglasses or glasses to protect ur eyes :) you can buy everywhere but if you alr buy never ask another place because it can be cheaper or more expensive. if you want to have a "sanuk" which mean fun way to play at songkran festival you can buy water gun (you can choose your own water gun). you can find everything in every place around Bangkok with cheap price for waterproof case and glasses is around 10 bath until 50 bath. for a clothes around 80 bath until 200 bath and for water gun start from 50 bath and I think the most expensive one that I saw is around 400 bath :D 

#1 Khaosan Road

First day of Songkran I went to Khaosan Road :) I went by Bus :) Don't worry you can ask everyone for the information or if there is a really famous place you can go to information box and they alr write everything there with english (alphabet). Okay, when I came first is still okay and I can walk around and see everything :D But, I go for 2nd round and I think I cannot move..... It's STUCKKKK !!! But, It's still FUN :D you can attack everyone and everyone can attack you :D you will really totally WET !!! 

After 1st round I buy my own water gun #lol

Before have a water fight :)

#2 Silom Road

Second day of Songkran I went to Silom Road by MRT :) and when we cross the road water gun already everywhere ~ It's really TRUE that if you go late you will find more crowded place for sure ~ Silom Road is bigger that khaosan road for the first round (walk along soi 3) I just think it's just the same with khaosan. the different are the place is larger and is less crowded because its still has a lot of space to STOP :) I don't know but when we want to go home we see a lot of gay ~~ okay Silom road is very famous because of a lot of gay were hang out there :) First time for me to see a lot of gay (and trust me they are really handsome for me) ~ and they have a show and it's make me think that if you want to have a different taste of songkran maybe you can go to silom road and it's really like a big PARTY !!! 

at MRT elevator ~ we're ready !!

I think you must to rotate your screen ~

we have a great time at Silom Road :)

ANDDDD ..... I will show you the REAL PARTY !!

but I think you must to rotate it again :')

It's enough about Songkran Festival and I cannot get wet anymore :') hxhx. Happy Thai New Year :D maybe you can try Songkran Festival Next year ~ it's from 13th - 15th April every year :D you can celebrate at Chiang Mai or Pattaya too :D

SONGKRAN (THAI'S NEW YEAR)

SONGKRAN is the most anticipating event in Thailand (maybe) for all of Thai people and foreigner. So, today our university (Kasetsart University) make an event to celebrate songkran. 

SPLASHING WATER EVERYWHERE !!

Everyone look very excited with their water gun and a bucket ~ Thai people belief that if you splash the water will purify your soul for a new year :) I really like when I see a lot of people play together and spent their time together because we cannot buy togetherness. In Evening, I'm not sure but there is a concert (i think) but I cannot get in because I cannot speak thai well so I cannot ask the officer. 

Actually, Songkran will be held in a lot of place in THAILAND, but I will celebrate Songkran in Bangkok for now. Songkran will be start next monday to next wednesday. I will celebrate in Khaosan Road and Silom (maybe with my Thailand Friends). Actually, I alr prepare myself for tmr but I miss read the announcement so I miss that event today. 

I'll tell you more about Songkran maybe after Songkran End and I'm not sure can give you a lot of photo or not. But, you can find in google too. :) 

Thank you for reading :D

TIPS & TRICK TO SHOPPING IN BANGKOK

After a month I stayed in Bangkok maybe I can give you a little tips and trick to shopping around Bangkok. In Indonesia, we have a lot of online shop with the title firsthand bangkok fashion so everyone really like to have an import product. But, after I shop by myself in Bangkok the price in online shop has a big range with the price in Bangkok so If you have time and want to get the cheaper one maybe you can go to Bangkok by yourself and I think the price is more expensive because of shipping cost.

Where you can go to shopping ? 

The most famous place to shopping is Chatuchak Weekend Market or JJ Market.

Chatucak Weekend Market

I think everyone like to go to Chatuncak Market (Foreigner and Thai People), you can find a lot of things in here. But, it's really crowded, if you come late don't worry you can see a lot of new booth open at night. You can bargain the price but maybe around 10 or 20 bath, someone say that if you buy more you can get cheaper price. But, I don't think so or maybe you must to speak Thai if you want to get the cheaper one.

Another place that you can go is Platinum Plaza 

Platinum Plaza, Behind Central World

you can take a BTS to Platinum Plaza or Taxi or Bus if you know the number of the Bus. If you don't like to walk too far you better choose taxi or bus. In Platinum, I think this mall has an Air Conditioner so it must be cooler that JJ Market. It's Big and If you want to get the cheaper one just buy more that one piece and you will get the cheaper one, but I just go there and buy nothing. Because I don't like that stuff or maybe I'm just to tired. But, if you want to buy something you will see the price tag everywhere so you will know about the price without asking the seller. I prefer to buy a stuff at Union Mall, and I think it's cheaper and nearer with my place.

So, the next one is Union Mall

Union Mall, Pahon Yothin MRT Station

Union Mall just like Platinum Plaza but it's smaller than Platinum and I think platinum is more organized than Union Mall but you cannot find everything here. If you want to buy something you can go here but if you want to buy everything in one place I think JJ Market is better choice for you. Anw, Union Mall has a Movie Theater so you can watch there. 

There are most popular place to spent your money, but when I alr stay for a month and go around Bangkok, I think everyplace have their own market and you can find everything in that place in this market maybe the price will be cheaper or more expensive but it's really depend on the seller (trust me) and If you find something just buy it because maybe you can't find that again (actually where is the shop). And I think every market has their own stuff so many of them cannot be found in another place. BUT if you want to try have a really crowded shopping you can go to that favorite place. 

Anddddd..... Maybe you can go to the Khaosan Road and China Town but I never been there so I'll tell you later after I go there (for sure). I Hope I can help you to shopping in Bangkok and It's okay if you cannot speak Thai they will stay give you a discount !!! :) :) but if you can speak thai it will be better. Just remember how to ask how much and the number and can you give me a discount ? maybe I'll make another post about Thai language after I can speak better :) or you can use google translate, I alr try that with my Thai Friend :)
