thailand & us.

.my dad wanted us to see and experience how the local thai ppl life style so yeah.. he decided that we don't need a tour guide throughout this whole trip. sooo....


THAILAND + US - tour guide= ZE OMG

day 1
everything seems under control from klia to bangkok's airport. the trouble of not having a tourguide starts when we are on the way to our hotel.the taxi guy (mr.somchay )don't know where is our hotel. wth. why our hotel so ulu wan meh? in the middle of the jungle ar?

it seems that they only recognise our hotel as DIMA and not pavillion. like hello?? the hotel's name is d'ma PAVILLION.so the pavillion word is more attractive/important than d'ma.and my dad keep saying it as dema.
when mr.somchay finally realise we are talking bout hotel dima he started nodding his head and nod and nod. rofl. he smiled and showed his 2 lill black toothy.=)
its really hard to communicate with thai ppl.


mom and me at the lobby.
antic phone wei.

stalls at the roadside not far away from the hotel.

close up. egg satay???

arghhh...=S

keep seeing stalls selling beef/pork noodles everywhere.like seriously everywhere. day 2
we sat a ferry through the menam chao praya river.

mom& dad



our boat is similar to this except us has a blue flag on it.tickets for the blue flag ferry is around 100baht the orange flag is around 13baht.
and we bought the 100 baht ones.how generous of us.

see comunication prob again.

first stop.
lots of walking again.
feeling sick.no?? u shall now.

second hand false teeth. omg. =.= who would wanna buy??
fries soup anyone??

eh Zen!! didn't know u got your own brand of coffee ar..


the best way to attract ppl to buy ur stuff is to hang it on yourself.
like this:: =)


these cute little boxes.. i think its kinda like woven or something like that.
the owner of the stall is like thai-chinese(she speaks some techiew chinese..) so yeah my dad say one of a kind wor.

this stupid stall owner was like grumbling there when i took this pic. wth. take pic only ma.kecil hati punya org.



i was conned!!!

more like we (mom+dad+me) got cheated. yeah i know u must be wondering.."jobee so stupid..never got cheated then its a miracle lo." but.. but.. ah well. i was not cheated in terms of money la..

the story is complicated but 1st and foremost let me introduce u to the conman...

and his tuk-tuk

tuk-tuk is this vehicle.
so to what he said.. he'll bring us to 3 places and will only charge us 50baht = rm5.. SO CHEAP WEI!!! see thats the prob.. there is no such thing as cheap and where u can profit from it at the same time.




the first place he brought us there..
this is the tallest statue buddha in the world after the 'used to be the tallest' building in afganistan was bomb down..(if i was not wrong)

and then he brought us to the 1st jewelry shop...

.so reluctantly we went in.and use their loo. muahaha. and enjoy the breeze of the air-con.



then he sent us to another jewelry shop (the 2nd one)..

my parents was trying to tell him that we DON'T want to visit jewelry shop.. we wanna see temples and others..

but he said.." ya..ya.. wait.. now u go in shop.5 min. i get free gasoline"
=.=

u want us to waste our time going in that freaking shop with all the people blabbing and showing their black2 faces when we don't buy their stuff. just so u get free gasoline??
and erm wth is gasoline?? (its something like petrol kua)

.....
....

we went in at last too..=S
.....

went out after seeing the worker's black unhappy face.
.....


then he decided that he don't want to send us anywhere adi. BUT we only visited 1 place le.my dad keep insisting that we want to visit the sleeping buddha..



and he sent us there at last


and he left us there. freaking stupid man.

i saw this little kid. adorable wei. he's cycling and holding some cash. wanna buy something kua.

the sleeping buddha.

what goes around will come around. watch your back tuk-tuk man

mother of pearls??
