Bangkok Trip Day 1
It's that time again when my firm goes for its annual trip - this year it's Bangkok, Thailand. Yup Bangkok again - 4 out of the 6 trips we've had have been to Bangkok! But it's ok by me cos hey I'm getting a free holiday - free airfare, free accommodation at a 5 or 6 star hotel for 3 days 2 nights, 2 free breakfasts and one free dinner! All I had to cover was my shopping money and some food money - no problem cos things are cheap in Bangkok if you know where to go that is.
Here's what I did in point form:-
- Left Singapore at 8:45 am on Singapore Airlines flight SQ60
- Arrived in Bangkok at 10.10 am
- Took the coach to the airport
- Checked into the hotel - Nai Lert Park Hotel Room 371
- Waited for Julie's sister and niece who were coming up on a budget airline
- They finally arrived so we headed off to MBK shopping mall
- Shopped - got some pants for my bro-in-law, nephew and me, got a backpack for myself too and some delicious donuts from Mister Donut
- Left MBK with Julie at about 6 pm cos we had to get ready for our dinner and dance, her sis, Judy and niece, Jean, continued shopping
- Theme for the D&D was "Retrophilia" so I borrowed one of my sister's punjab tops, wore it with my slightly flared boot cut jeans, a pair of flip flops and a peace sign round my neck and volia I'm a hippy chick lol
- Dinner was Thai cuisine but thankfully most of the dishes were not hot or spicy so I had food to eat. Was pretty good too.
- There was a lucky draw (only 20 prizes) but lady luck was not on my side. I was "targetting" the 1st and 3rd prize which was a 21 inch LCD plasma tv and S$700 travel vouchers with a free 1 night stay at Nai Lert Park Hotel, Bangkok respectively.
- Every year the newly qualified lawyers will put on some sort of skit or dance and song routine, this year they were a bit more creative. They did some spoofs of movies and commercials and had a sort of game show of sorts with prizes. The spoofs were really good and the two hosts were equally funny especially seeing as one of them was slightly drunk and didn't recognise some of the partners who ran up to win prizes lol
- Dinner ended at about 10.00 pm.
- Julie, Judy, Jean and I (hereafter known as "JJJS" headed over to the night market which closed at midnight. Didn't see anything worth buying so we headed back to the hotel.
END OF DAY 1
