Bangkok Trip Last Day

we were late!
we promised Cheeng to be downstairs for breakfast 15 before 8 and we are only there by 8! I rushed like mad to the coffee house for the french toast with honey and whipped cream...and a cuppa...off we go to the Grand Palace...reluctantly when the most that I wanna go was the floating market...but since time didn't permit, I just have to agree with a tour in Grand Palace...

Nur, at the entrance of the Grand Palace

Nur & Paul...

just can't help it...they stand still...i wish to make them smile a bit...but failed!!!

it's them again!

look at the painting...

intricately done...some part of the walls in the palace...

me, Paul & Nur

by Cheeng who always give his back to my camera!

so many guns! and i have to guard them!


After the Grand Palace, we decided to do some shopping...went back to Dusit and we checked out. But my friend said that she've got a head ache...but do we have a choice? we are in Bangkok for God sake, and we've checked out. to get some Thai silk, we were recommended to got to Nice Fashion...I manage to get some for myself and lil' girl...good price, good ambience...


Went to Sukhumvit for some food, but our time wasted, read: and i hate that!...for some reason...dear friends, if you happen to travel with me, please take care of your health....I hate to hate you for that! we end the 'shopping spree' in MBK..duh!!!

We left Dusit Thani around 5pm for th airport...me, Nur, Cheeng & Paul...cramped ourselves in the limo. We reached Suvarnabhumi airport for less than an hour, very early when our flight was only at 7.52 pm Bangkok time.

After saying bye to Paul, we checked in, and went around the airport to look for some food to bring back (no I didn't bring back any) due to some frustration!
we finally settled in a restaurant for some food, and chit chat and crying our heart out with Cheeng...
we didn't stop until we realized that we are just 15 minutes away from a departure time! and please remember that the gate was the last gate and we are now at the other end of the airport!!!!
damn! we just remember that and we've got to run!
Poor Cheeng he was pushing the troley with all of our hand luggage...and while we were walking fast, and Nur was with her high heels, the minutes I passed by one of the BIG speaker, I heard they are calling out our names for the final call for our flight!!!
Damn! Damn!...nothing to be done, we ran like mad to the other end!
Embarassing! that was! very....and we kept on running!
At the check in point, unpack things!!! and re-pack! oh Dear God, why is this happening to us!!! I wanna go home...I don't wanna spend another night in Bangkok...I miss home...

The minutes we step on board...it was very quiet...and obviously we were the culprit to be the last on board...
Went to my sit, and trying to gather my breath that I lost while running...*inhale...exhale...* harshly...
The run that I will never forget...that was a story in Suvarnabhumi airport a week before they took over the airport for the new Thai PM...
Good bye Bangkok...till we meet again...
