Deborah's Pilgrimage on Earth - Journeying Heavenward

Day Five:

Parents were to leave in the afternoon. We hung around in the hotel, walked the streets, had breakfast in the hotel and bid my parents farewell. “Please make sure all 3 of you stay together” “Don’t venture on your own ah…Debbie”… (I sense my parents are quite worried over my over ambitious nature to explore)

Later we headed to MBK (Mahboonkong) to take a look. Apparently it’s the largest shopping mall in Bgk. It’s not fantastic (lots of shops, too many people, a replica of Sungei Wang Plaza). The day went by fairly quickly as Josh snapped away while Ray and I had some sisterly time.

Day Six:

We headed for Nonthaburi again – this time for a specific mission – to pack the “fruits” for our flight back the next day. The lady was elated when we told her to pack 300baht worth of “fruits”. The other vendors next to her chuckled in laughter having not experienced someone bag do many “fruits”.

The Thai 'fruits' I was talking about.

Later in the day we pampered ourselves to a massage. Not settling for those scary mass massage shops found frequently along main roads, we found a modern looking massage spa near our hotel. For only RM35, we got a good one hour foot and shoulder massage! Ahhh…bliss! (Parents should have been there!).

They made me wear this striking green shorts

Day Seven:

We ventured through alleys, streets and lanes to get the most of the last few hours we had in Bangkok. Found some really nice cafes and dainty shops in the quietest areas, window shopped in Central and had lunch at a roadside stall under a bridge.

Only on the last day did I realize that the BTS stations were not too far away from another. Walking the whole stretch of Sukhumvit (barely taking us ½ hour) we passed by four BTS stations! (Sigh, it’s too late to get back all the money spent on transport!)

Took more pictures with lovely Christmas deco (I must say, they really spend a bomb on decorations, not skimpy or stingy at all!)
