Second day of Thailand
I'm writing this 2nd day of Thailand for the 2nd time cause i accidentally pressed delete on the keyboard... sigh.
Anyways.
We reached the pickup point, the Big C at 9+. And headed off to Festival Shopping Centre again, cause its near and besides, nothing else is open at this time of the day. This time there were only 6 of us in the group cause a few of them had to do duty today.
We settled for breakfast at Delifrance. I got a set B, which consisted of a Bacon + cheese sandwich and i added 45 to my 95 set for a strawberry frappe, which tasted like medicine.
I must say, breakfast here isn't really that good. Ah right, it was here that Eric told us that Delifrance was founded by a malay in Singapore.. i wonder how true that is..
It was still early, so they decided to play a bit at the game stalls around Festival SC. Stuff like shooting darts into balloons, and using air guns to shoot tiny figurines. They won a couple of prizes, but nothing that fancy.
There was also a shop selling metal figurines. Metal you ask? These are actually figurines made up of metal chains. Those bicycle chains you see? Yeap. Now that was interesting.
I suggested snooker at Mike's SC, since everything else was still pretty much closed, and i played a match with Eugene before we decided to give up. We're really not cut out for this.
So the 4 of us went around to shop while the chefs were still playing snooker. It was here i bought a shirt for 140 , 2x berms for 800 in total and a lighter. The lighter was a gas lighter, and it lights up green when i open the cover, not to mention the flame is green too. How cool! It costed only 100 Baht.
(P.S: It was the lighter that helped curb my craving for the stun gun. Thanks lighter)
When we came back, they were still playing snooker, so we decided to have lunch at the nearby cafetaria. I spent 100 for a plate of fried rice, and 30 for a glass of green tea?
All the drinks has so much sugar in them here... a bit hard to get used to.
We then walked around until we found a suitable massage parlour. Eventually we settled down on one that Chris went to yesterday called Lucy's. Eugene Chris and me went for the Oil massage for 90 minutes + 30 minutes of head massage for 500 baht. The other 3 went for Spa + oil massage + leg massage for 3 hours at 900 Baht.
The oil massage was a pleasant experience, and the head was so good i think i dozed off there. Ah, the enjoyment..~ If only i could do this once in a week or something.
We had dinner at macs. The only difference from Singapore is that they had a double big mac, which consisted of 4 beef patties =_=. How can anyone finish that?
The prices are slightly less, but a cone costs 10b here while a mcflurry costs around 25.
100 baht = SGD$4.40.
We then walked along walking street, this time to look around. Managed to see a lot... a lot of A-go-go bars. There were also costume theme bars: Students, nurses, office ladies, cheongsames even. Ah right, there was one that stood out, an European dancing one. Phew.
We walked around for a long time, before we decided not to go in as we weren't carrying enough loose Baht. It was a pity, cause i really wanted to see the difference between a normal one as compared to a high class one, but ah well.
The 3 of us then went to Royal Garden Plaza at 10+, the shops were closing though so we just walked around. ah yes, there was a Ripley's believe it or not! here.
The rest of them stopped at the 7-11, and bought some beer to drink which i heard was extremely cheap.
Well, we took a Tuk Tuk back to the Big C where we played a bit of Pool. The rates were 10B for 4 minutes, and you needed to play for at least 30 minutes. You needed to insert coins into the machine, 10B at a time. They were showing an Arsenal match as well on ESPN, which kept minizing to show commercials.
How do they make money like that? =_=
Well at least i don't think they pay $15 every month.
And that ends the 2nd day.
