Welcome to Bangkok !!

Finally I reach Bangkok after more than 12 hours travelling.

To save cost, I took free shuttle bus from Bangkok airport to public bus stop.
From Airport to Bangkok city center only costs 36 baht which is around rm3.60 !! No other countries can offer such a cheap transportation from airport to city center and runs 24 hours everyday !!
The free shuttle bus stop. Every Thais there were looking at me with strange stare.

I stayed in a cheap place with 10 persons in a room but it was clean and friendly staff,the only problem is that it is far from the nearest train station.

The next day, a Japanese roommate talked to me thinking that I am Japanese. He was so happy that I can speak Japanese and asked to join my trip to Royal Palace and watch Muay Thai show. It was my second visit to Grand royal palace. Eventhough I have been there 15 years ago, I dont really actually remember the scenes there. Everything looks new to me and I enjoyed every bit of it. Another Japanese girl joined us when she overheard our Japanese conversation. Cant believe that after trying so hard to escape from Japan for holiday, I ended up talking Japanese the whole day in Bangkok that day!!!
Casual travel partners that will never meet again.I had already forgotten their names...

I like the fact that Thai is appreciating their river and using it as one of their main transportation method. I think Msia should emulate this and make river as a part of our city but not our dumping site.

Later in the evening, I went to watch Muay Thai in Lumphini Boxing stadium. There are 2 in Bangkok but I prefer this as all locals come to this one.It was not cheap but worth the experience. The entrance.Many locals are betting and the atmosphere was great. Too bad I cant understand the way they bet..mmm...

This is the sitting place in the stadium.Viewers are sitting like they are in their own living. There are holes everywhere and I dropped my camera case down there. Why am I always so careless !!! aisyhh...my green color camera case..i will miss u !!

Went to have Thai massage and some drinks after the show then straight away headed back to hostel. I know I know Thai nightlife is not to be missed but I was too tired travelling one day before so I am charging battery for tomorrow night..hehe. I was sooo tired that i slept during body massage.

There is a saying that "Rest to have a longer journey."

till then...
