Bangkok Day 4 (25 December 2017)

Happy x’mas world!!!! We are here still enjoying our trip. K, kisah hari ini agak menyayat hati. Bukan menyayat hati yang sedih, tapi geram! Nak tau apa berlaku! Jom baca sampai habis!!!

Alright, today our plan is to go to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. From Bangkok city centre, ambil masa dalam 2 jam nak ke sana. How do we get there? Ha..jom masuk kisah ni…

Actually we got this taxi driver from Hua Lamphong train station. Dia yang approach we all masa kami naik teksi dia untuk ke MBK mall semalam. Deal punya deal, ok la we all setuju! Dengan harga 1600 baht untuk ke 2 tempat ni – Damnoen Saduak Floating Market & Train Market. Which is good deal actually. But this one does not include naik boat kat floating market ok. So pagi ni kitorang pun standby la.. by 8.00am we all dah tunggu and he arrived. Then on the way nak ke Damnoen Saduak tu, dia bawak laju nak mati weyh!!! Dah la jalan beralun-alun, dia boleh bantai tibia laju, sampai pening kepala weyh!!! Then at the middle of the way, ade berhenti kat petrol station untuk toilet rest. Settle sambung balik perjalanan, hadap la kitorang dengan speed die tu.

This is the driver. Please beware kalau dia approach korang ok!

This is the taxi guys...

Sesampai je area Damnoen Saduak tu, dia berhenti kat area jeti, which is for me it is not the main jetty that I meant (sebab dah buat few research it is totally different). Then dia cakap, ‘same same.. this is the same place’.. then ok la, kita terima dulu, tengok jauh mana dia nak pergi. Nasib la kat area Damnoen Saduak ni sejuk, around 21’C time n, so tak de la nak temper sangati. So tunggu jap, then orang yang deal boat price ni datang menjual boat ride dia la. And you know what, the prie is like ‘wtf’!!! they said 1 person 2000 baht. This is ridiculous man!!! Dia ingat kita bodoh tak tau apa-apa! Then Wawa cakap, ‘no, my friends have been here before and they get 2,000 baht per boat!’… then dia macam tak nak layan then dia blah layan customer lain dulu. Im telling to the taxi driver, siap tunjuk gambar, ‘I want to go here, at this jetty. Not this one’. Then dia still cakap it is the same one. Then negotiator tadi datang balik, then ask me ‘ok, ok, what do you want actually?’ and directly Wawa said ‘I want a boat ride at 2000 baht per boat, not per person!’ then finally deal!!!! Korang tengok game dia macam mana. From my point of view, this taxi driver akan receive commission based on the recommendation or number of people yang dia Berjaya close deal! So ok la..we all pun naik boat tu for jalan-jalan.. about 1 to 2 hours ride. And you know what, that boat memang ada lalu kat area main jetty seperti dalam gambar yang Wawa tunjuk kat taxi driver tu. Memang dalam hati agak tak puas hati la kan. Oleh sebab itu, not any single cents we spent kat sana. Yes!! Nothing!!! And dekat main jetty tu pun dia tak stop. For me like, its ok.. im not that hadap!!!

Tips: so guys, this is like a crucial part yang mana kita tak sure that driver nak bawak kita pergi kat that area ke tak. So if you guys ada kenalan yang ada contact number driver yang pernah bawak diorang EXACTLY tempat yang your friends pernah pergi, that would be better. If not, korang pergi je la mana-mana floating market nearby untuk experience it ok!

While waiting for the negotiator to come to us and discuss about the boat ride

Areas that they cover

Ye nak beli apa???

Mula-mula duk belah kanan, alih-alih, duk sebelah kiri pulak.. korang rasa sebab apa? Hahaha :D

So habis je tour, we move on to TRAIN MARKET.. again, dia bawak laju nak mammmm!!! This time around Wawa direct sound the driver ‘please don’t drive too fast, some of us not married yet’ macam gurau tapi marah sebenarnya. Hahaha :D then dah sampai kat area tu, agak jem sikit, ternampak la train berlalu pergi, then that driver said ‘arghhh…that train go already!!! That’s why I drive fast!!’. Excuse me, that’s not a reason for you to drive like hell ok!!! Then dia turunkan we all for a walk dia g cari parking and tunggu kat situ je. So we all jalan-jalan la kat night market ni. And actually train yang lalu tadi tu baru sampai sebenarnya. And they will depart by around 11am atau 12pm la.. and that’s the only time untuk kita tengok diorang on and off the tent bila train lalu. So we walk around while waiting once we knew that the train akan jalan after this. Kat sini banyak jual seafood, local food, senang cerita raw material for food la… kitorang tak beli makanan apa-apa pun. Eh. Ada. Pisang and air kelapa. Hehe J but at the end of the train market ada 1 halal stall. But again, we all tak plan nak makan lagi.

Ha, nak apa? beli la...sila sila sila...

Yang ni bukan untuk dijual ye ye ye 😃

That moment yang train lalu is really really good experience for us. Sebab tak pernah tengok dengan mata sendiri. To be honest, this is the best compared to floating market tadi. Bila masa train lalu tu, rasa hilang semua marah kat floating market. Hahaha :D

Sayang je, GoPro Wawa boleh main golek-golek pulak atas railway.. silap placing..so rugi la that moment yang train lalu tu. Tapi tak pe la, video lain ada, tu pun dah cukup. Then kami pergi balik kat taxi untuk pulang ke city centre…. Yeay!!! So apa Wawa buat while kat dalam kereta, tidur je! Sebab kalau terjaga, pening!!!

Sampai kat area city centre, masa tu dalam kereta lagi, so terperasan, ‘eh, that restaurant yang ada nampak orang buat review cakap makanan dia sedap.. huhu~’. Ingatkan jauh la dari tempat kitorang. Rupa nya dekat je, boleh jalan kaki dari hotel. And kebetulan, lepas je lalu restaurant tu, jalan macam jem tau. Then kitorang just berhenti je kat tengah jalan, bayar taxi tu, then kitorang terus jalan kakai pergi restaurant tu…

Tada!!! New restaurant found!!! Farida Fatornee!!! Halal guys!!!! Hehehe J

Another restaurant available there..area-area Farida Fatornee jugak..

Telur bungkus!!!

Sebagai pengenalan, we all order ala carte je. Masing-masing order nasi goreng la, nasi putih and telur bungkus la, and guess what??? Memang sedap!!!! Yeayyy!!! Alhamdulillah… especially Chayen (the ais) die, aummmmm…

Kat bawah ni ada senarai food and harga dia k..

Alhamdulillah, kenyang and puas hati.. maka, terlenyaplah segala kemarahan yang ada untuk hari ini. Hahaha :D perempuan kan, dapat makan sedap je, muka masam pun boleh tukar jadi senyum.. bhahaha :D

So lepas dah settle urusan makan dan ‘business’ di toilet, kami jalan kaki pergi Platinum Fashion Mall. This is the biggest fashion mall yang ada kat Bangkok I guess. Memang banyak baju!!! And boleh naik gila tengok semua benda. Ayoyoooooo!!! Actually, sebelum ni ada tempat namanya Pratunam Market, which is across the road dari Platinum Fashion Mall. But now dah close, and all shops move in to fashion mall ni.

On the way to Platinum mall

Harga kat sini to be honest memang murah.. and design baju pun cantik-cantik.. ermmm… nak beli ke tak nak, nak beli ke tak nak.. hahaha :D

Owh ya, just for your info, Platinum Fashion Mall ni buka pagi sampai petang je tau. Malam totoppppp!!! Some kedai, pukul 5pm dah start tutup.. kat sini, we all berpecah lagi so that masing-masing ada kelonggaran nak tengok and beli apa-apa. So jumpa kat luar mall je pukul 6pm. And Masz!!! Masz adalah seketul manusia yang paling banyak damage!!! Hahaha :D g mana-mana pun dia shopping. So sesiapa nak jual apa-apa, boleh cuba hijack minda kawan Wawa sorang ni.

And after that we all balikkkkk… buat apa-apa yang patut, then keluar balikkkk… pukul 8.00pm.. untuk dinner.. and seperti yang dah di plan, kali ni nak dinner kat Pa Nga Tomyam. Hehehe.. and Pa Nga tu baru beli radio la weyhhh!!! Meriah dia nyanyi joget-joget sambal masak tomyam dia. Hahaha :D macam mana kitorang tau? Sebab kitorang tanya ‘ is that new radio?’ and he answered ‘yes, I just bought it yesterday’ hahahaha :D

That is Pa Nga. Nice person.

Harga adalah seperti yang tertera di dalam gambar ye ye ye. And tomyam dia memang sedap.. alhamdulillah!!!

Lepas tu apa lagi? Of course la sambung berjalan. Hehehe ;D since our hotel as I said earlier, dekat dengan Pratunam night market ni, so tiap-tiap malam la cuci mata.. Kikiki :D Fendi paling banyak memborong kat sini.. souvenir kawan-kawan dia, barang dia pun dia beli kat sini.

Alhamdulillah, selamat sudah segala perancangan harini.

Yang mana buruk, kita jadikan sebagai panduan k!!!

Love ya!!!
