Travel Like Olivia: Thailand 2017 Day 3 to 5 : Hua Hin -> Bangkok -> Neon Talad Night Market -> Platinum mall -> Siam Paragon -> The Blooming Gallery -> Home

Day 3 :

Today will be our last day in Hua Hin so me and Liyana woke up at 6am to watch the sun rise from our balcony but... It's too cloudy! So sad! So we went back to sleep again.

After another 2 hr of sleep, we went to the pool to have a swim and some suntanning for the first and last time there.

Relaxing while writing my blog.

Breakfast time! Everyday is good to start of with a cup of coffee agree? Haha!

Last photo in the beautiful resort before heading off to Bangkok which will takes another 3-4 hours!

We asked our driver to stop by somewhere for lunch later and he stop by this place.

This is like a stop point for tourist bus, where they sell food and local snacks. We didn't see any food that we like here so we asked the driver to continue the journey till he find another stop point.

Reached the other stop point with more restaurant around and we decided to eat at the black canyon cafe.

And the journey continues...

Finally we reach our hotel, The Salil Hotel, after a bad jam! But what's coming to Bangkok without having jam right?

Address : 24 Ban Kluai Nuea Alley, Khwaeng Khlong Tan Nuea, Khet Watthana, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110, Thailand

Another beautiful lobby!

Our welcome drinks.

Our room.

The bathroom.

After checking in and settle a bit, off we head off to the Talad Neon Night Market which is located next to Berkeley Hotel. It's about less then 30mins away by car but because of the jam, we took nearly 1hr to reach!

This Talad Neon Night Market is quite big! I have not been to this market before though.

Address : 1087 New Petchaburi Rd, Khwaeng Makkasan, Khet Ratchathewi, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10400, Thailand
Operating Hours : 4pm - 12am ( Wed - Sun )

First thing we do is definitely a welfie!

And next will be looking for dinner! We choose this stall because it seems to be very crowded. It's inside the 3rd row from the right side ( when facing the market ) of the whole night market.

The food is actually not bad and the staff is very attractive and friendly! Most importantly the seafood is fresh and cheap!

The different between small cup and big cup! Order the big cup if you can drink a lot like me!

Finally after dinner, we are full of energy to start shopping!

Barber here?

Neon Talad night market is just near by to Palladium Mall and there is a night market there too. Walk a bit here too to see what can we find here.

Address : 487 Phetchaburi Rd, Khwaeng Makkasan, Khet Ratchathewi, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10400, Thailand
Operating Hours : 6am - 10pm ( Mon - Sun )

After finish the Neon Talad market and Palladium night market, we walk over to my favorite supermarket, Big C!

Address : 97/11 Ratchadamri Rd, Khwaeng Lumphini, Khet Pathum Wan, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10330, Thailand
Operating Hours : 9am - 2am ( Mon - Sun )

Grabbing my favorite seaweed is a must!

After shopping at Big C, what next to end the day? Nothing else but of course a massage! So we decided to take Tuk Tuk there because it's nearby and because it's Miyuki's first time to Bangkok and we thought it's a fun experience for her. Haha.

She is excited and I guess with a little touch of scare? Haha!

Every of my Bangkok trip, I will definitely come to Malatee Massage! I really think no matter how long I never come, their standard remains and staff is still as friendly!

Address : 3 Phetchaburi 15 Alley, Khwaeng Thanon Phaya Thai, Khet Ratchathewi, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10400, Thailand
Operating Hours : 9am - 12am ( Mon - Sun )

The price list. Price are so reasonable!

Soooooooo good! I really think life will be good to start off with a cup of good coffee and ends it with a good massage! But reality is it only happen when you are on holiday!

While waiting for our grab driver outside, the ( seems to be ) lady boss come out to make sure our driver comes and even help to call the driver to tell him our location. She only walk back to the shop after we are all in the car. So nice of her!

Day 4 :

Good morning! Today starts off with a cup of coffee too! And not forgetting the freshly made waffle which the staff will make for you when you ask for it.

After breakfast, straight we head off to Platinum mall for more shopping!

Address : 644/3 Phetchaburi Rd, Khwaeng Thanon Phetchaburi, Khet Ratchathewi, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10400, Thailand
Operating Hours : 9am - 8pm ( Mon - Fri )
8am - 8pm ( Sat - Sun )

Didn't get much this time round.

Didn't buy much but we are still broke?! Haha! Time to change some money!

Next we walk over to central world for our lunch. This walk way is new! It links from Novotel hotel to Central World and even Gayson without walking by the road side and it's sheltered!

Address : 999/9 Rama I Rd, Khwaeng Pathum Wan, Khet Pathum Wan, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10330, Thailand
Operating Hours : 10.30am - 10pm ( Mon - Fri )
10am - 10pm ( Sat - Sun )

Enough of Thai food so Japanese food this time round! Lunch at Zen Japanese restaurant.

What's after lunch? Of course continue our shopping! What else right?

The three of them are happily shopping at Karma Karmet while I just wait outside resting. Haha!

Next we walk over to Siam Paragon for even more shopping! These malls are all walking distance so looking at the jam, don't even bother to think of taking taxi there, if not it will take forever to reach!

Address : 991/1 ถนนพระราม 1 แขวงปทุมวัน Khet Pathum Wan, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10330, Thailand
Operating Hours : 10am - 10pm ( Mon - Sun )

Naraya is a brand from Thailand and a brand that is good to get as souvenirs. I had a lot from other people too so I'm only here to help friend to get something while the rest is getting for their family and friends.

Wanted to have dessert at After You cafe but as usual, always super long queue so we decided not to waste our time.

Supermarket time again!

Never get sick of supermarket! Weird...

There is Pablo here too! Singapore just open their first outlet and everyday there is a long queue! Well... Since there is no queue, we shall have a try.

We ordered only a slice to share and it is really nice! I love cheese cake but not easy to get nice cheese cake!

We are so scare of the never ending jam on the road so we decided to take the subway!

Got our subway tickets and ready to go!

But... So crowded!

Alight at Thong Lo and walks about 5 mins to our hotel.

Went back to hotel to put back our stuff and we decided to go to Talad Neon night market again to have our dinner and get some of the item that we didn't manage to get enough yesterday.

It's drizzling so most of the stalls at Palladium night market is closed! Sadness!

Liyana is not hungry yet so she went Talad night market shopping first, so me and Teresa went to have our first wanton mee ( which Liyana cant' have ) of the trip at the road side of the Talad Neon night market. We are not those people who are afraid of road side stalls by the way. Sometimes the really nice food are from the road sides stalls.

We are not very hungry so this portion is just nice for us.

Not as good as the one famous one at Soi 3 but still fine to finish it all up.

We have different things to grab so we went our separate ways because all our items takes time to do.

I wanted to come this stalls call Laqute to make some souvenirs for my friends. They can do names for free so this is why it takes time. Teresa and Liyana is also at other stall doing something similar which also can do their names too but on other product.

While waiting for my things ( made quite a lot so longer waiting time ) to be done, I went walking around and got a cup of Thai milk tea with grass jelly.

Back to Malatee again for another great massage!

After a good massage, back to hotel to pack luggage! Shopping is always happy and packing everything into the luggage is painful! Haha!

Day 5 :

Today we decided to skip our breakfast from the hotel and head to 'The Blooming Gallery' for our breakfast.

Address : Thong Lo 8 Alley, Khwaeng Khlong Tan Nuea, Khet Watthana, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110, Thailand
Operating Hours : 10am - 10pm ( Sun - Tue )
10am - 12am ( Wed - Sat )

Very romantic interior. The cafe actually has quite limited space so it's good to call up for reservations although we didn't. We are lucky because we are their first customer and not long after, the cafe are almost full and a few big tables gt reserved.

Look at our beautiful table!

So today didn't start off with coffee but with very nice tea! I love tea as well by the way.

Beside tea, there is chocolate too.

After our breakfast, we walk over to Let's Relax Osen and Spa which is located inside Grand Central Point hotel to check our reservation which we made earlier through their website.

Address : Grande Centre Point Hotel, 304 ซอย สุขุมวิท 55, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110, Thailand
Operating Hours : 10am - 12 am ( Mon - Sun )

A corner that sells their product.

There is snacks bar too but not sure is it free or need to pay.

Luckily we decided to check it out because they didn't receive our reservations but the timing we wanted at 2pm is already fully book. The only time they can squeeze is actually now if not will be at 5pm! So we have to rush back to do our room checkout and bring our luggages to Teresa and Miyuki's room because they only allow one room to have late check out at 2pm.

Back to the spa and start to relax myself. I had a 90mins 'Dream Package' which includes 45min foot massage, 15 mins hand massage and 30mins back and shoulder massage.
First, as usual, they will wash the feet.

Next will be the foot and leg massage! Sooooooooo good!

And next will be hand massage! Omg... sooooo relex!

Lastly will be back massage!
Nooooooo I don't want the massage to end!!!

To end the most relaxing massage, they serve each of us a place of mango sticky rice! The service at Let's Relax Onsen is really good! No regrets even though the price are at a slightly higher point.

After our awesome massage, rush back to our hotel to check out the other room. Didn't want to go anywhere else already so we stay at our hotel recreation room to chill.
