How to get here :
1 . BTS Mo Chit station (Follow the crowd and you will reach Jatujak) 2. MRT Kampaheng Phet (Exit 2)
Wake up in the morning I feel like "Hey, it is not working day. I am in holiday." Got my glasses- I
Anyway the photo above is the view from my hotel room.
The hotel have provide complimentary breakfast buffet. And you can have it beside the swimming pool. The breakfast is kinda of mix between Western food and some Asian Food. I feel quite standard with most hotel breakfast buffet. Not much to shout about.
A little bit of exploration near my hotel and I see this "Chic Hotel". Looks quite good but my Men's Seventh Sense tell me Le Fenix is better.
Bangkok is full of Tut Tut car like this. I feel to call it car is wrong because it only have 3 wheel. Anyway nowadays most hotel and some better class shop have complimentary tut tut car ride to nearest BTS station. And these tut tut car is more spacious. Those one the road will be shorter version.
(Warning : Never take tut tut car if your destination is far. The driver can drive in a crazy way for the shortest route. One of my friend have experience tut tut car driving opposite direction of car in a highway. She say it is scarier then roller coaster ride or seeing cockroach flying towards her. XD)
A new hotel that is still building. Can consider staying here because new hotel means things is new. Look nicer.
Typical street hawker. A small charcoal grill area. A section that show all grilled. Next to this stall is famous Thailand tea store.
A Thai Tea a day, keep me fresh and awake. Seriously I wonder why people still go for Starbuck or other coffee shop when the roadside stall sell tea and coffee for only 10~20 Bahts. A typical drink at those shop will need 100 bahts at least.
Scene from BTS Nana station. I took it because I like the blue sky.
The BTS train arrive. Be careful with the guard though. They are very strict with the rule behind the yellow line. Even when I am actually behind the train, and 100% the train will not reverse, they still blow whistle to ask me stand behind the yellow line.
After reach Mo Chit BTS station, follow the crowd to go cross the road using pedestrian bridge. You can go to the tourist center to get a map first But even GPS may not help you when you are lost here. Luckily I have many training from my gaming experience on how to find way in maze and dungeon. XD
Some cute looking candles that I find while walking aimlessly here. A tips for everyone, if you see something nice, do not think of coming back later to buy it. It is very hard to find back the shop. Just bought and continue your shopping.
If you fee tired, you can have a rest at the park. There is peddler selling straw hat and carpet here.
Thai coconut is famous for it special aroma and sweet taste. This coconut ice cream seems to be available only at Jatujak. I did not find similar shop anywhere in my Bangkok trip
For 30 Baht, you get a scoop of coconut ice cream, a choice of topping to go with your ice cream and a small glass of coconut juice.
Some cute flip flop at Jatujak. Flip flop nowadays came with high heel design. For women that have never ending love for high heels.
Another special delicacy here. The special chrysanthemum tea here. It is very different from the chrysanthemum tea that you have drink before. Since Jatujak is very hot here, buy one to drink here.
Other shop that you can try here is the Chocolate Banana, some more western style of coffee and tea stall that offer the thai tea in frappe(Ice Blended).
