Thailand - Bangkok Part 1

View of Suvarnabhumi airport from the aeroplane.

We arrived at Suvarnabhumi airport at around 5 pm something according to Bangkok local time. The flight from KL to Bangkok took us approximately 3 hrs. When we step out of the aeroplane and into the airport, the first word that came out in my mind is "WOW"

The airport is huge!! I think it's 10 times bigger than KLIA. And i think it's newly built too, as the interior still looks new and posh. Along the way to take our luggage, we went through a long pathway where we see lots of the statues as shown below.

"Sawatdee Ka" - Greeting from Thailand. The two statues look alike, but spot the difference. It's two totally different statues.

Oh ya, the rumour that taxi driver at Bangkok like to con tourist is true. So the first thing after we collect our luggage is to avoid taking a cab which will charge us with an unbearable high fee (unfortunately along the trip we are conned twice by taxi driver). Luckily we got some advice from Cheryl's parents, we go straight to the airport door and get an authorised taxi by paying first to a booth then get into a taxi. The trip to our hotel costs us 500 baht.

After we refresh at the hotel, we went to a famous eating place, called CO CO WALK. This is the place where we had our first Thailand Steamboat!!

The famous Co Co Walk. It's swarmed with people.

The variety of food available for the steamboat. We are spoilt for choices here.

The weird looking steamboat is using charcoal to heat the food.

Mouth watering food

A very satisfying me. ^_^ Besides, steamboat at Bangkok is cheap, much much cheaper than Kuching steamboat. The steamboat costs RM10 per person only! Yum Yum... This place is in my "must-go-place" the next time I go visit Bangkok. ;)
