Back from Bangkok but couldn't bring back their smiles

I guess this 2nd trip to bangkok was a much better one compared to the one last year because we sort of knew the way around and also used to how the life there works. The most vivid thing i can remember about Bangkok is the warmness of the people there and how a smile can bridge many gaps between strangers. So much so for tourists being con or badly treated...yeah i heard all the news...i guess i am lucky not to have met those.

As the younger generations of Thailand is getting fairer..we were easily mistaken for Japs, Thais and Koreans..well it was ok. i feel very much at home when i bypass the roadside stalls, the misty air, the toothy smiles, the sleepy dogs and many more very-at-ease sights at Bangkok. It was like going to another realm when i arrived at Chachuchak market...the noise of people calling for patrons at their stalls, the smell of food, the excitement of clothes-digging and etc.There were like 9000+ of stalls selling all sorts of items and you could easily spend ur life-savings there..or be like me la, only buy those whicj are really nice..then you can save a lot.

Taking the train was quite a pleasant one, people actually queue you know. Unlike in Singapore, some Singaporeans thinks that they are god if they are the first to stand infront of the door. You can always take the cab, infact it's cheaper than taking train for some instance. I didn't try the tuk tuk taxi thou.

The funny thing is , although we went Bangkok, we didn't eat anything Thai...that was unplanned...we only realised after we reached Changi Airport ..omg..We have been eating ramen..and the most yummy ramen that i have eaten is at Hachiban ramen...the Jap-style Bak Chor Mee..omg...i ate the same thing for 2 days...it was simply irresistable! it was only about S$4+

tbc...
